Okay, I apologise straight up, I did promise no more Bond rumours after the last post, but look it’s been so long and there is a story here other than someone else self promoting.
From Cinematical comes word that Goran Visnjic is the latest in the fray for the role of Bond.
A few weeks back it was rumored that ER’s Goran Visnjic was being considered as the next James Bond. According to MI6, the actor has confirmed that he is indeed in the running to be Pierce Brosnan’s replacement in Casino Royale. Visnjic hopes to hear more after another screen test booked for next Wednesday.
That is a surprise because it would be a break from the British template of the character and a move to an eastern European type. I would think this makes sense in the current climate and really does go a long way towards modernisation of the story.
The more interesting rumour is the possible return of actors that have previously been touted as off the list. Does this pave the way for the return of Pierce Brosnan after all?
Yahoo reports that John Cleese and Judi Dench might be returning to the franchise they assumed they had been booted from.
What do you think? Could, as we’ve reported before, Brosnan have been using heavy tactics to negotiate and everything is just coming full circle again – as it often did with Connery – or is it just more rumour and we’re still stuck waiting?
Liberty I took your advise and checked out the Meyers fansite and I’ve gotta say, still not sold. I don’t doubt the guys talented and good looking but he looks like he is gonna cry, all the time. I have been reading the books, the originals from Flemming and Bond does not cry. Meyers looks sensitive which is probably why you and so many other women like him but not Bond. I repeat, Bond does not cry, he is not sensitive. He is a man’s man. Meyers looks like the lead singer of a rock band that women love because he is mysterious and pretty. That is not Bond. Connery and Brosnan were both great casting for the Bond character, handsome and good actors who you can see winning a fight in real life. Meyers looks like after he lost a fight he would cry and sulk and then sneak into the other guys room at night and kill him in his sleep, he looks a little on the edge psycho. That is not Bond. If you do not understand my points than pick up Casino Royale at your local bookstore or order it online. It is not expensive and an easy short read. Hopefully after reading the book you will understand what Bond is. Agian: Bond does not cry.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers is the only answer for Bond. go to his website to see the british hearthrob. JRMfansfrozenwithin.com YOu will be thinking like me lol
Bring Brosman back, or let’s see Val Kilmer take that job.
President Bush for Bond!
Kidding.
could someone join me in sayin a rosary-pierce brosnan is all i want for BOND. i like goran in E.R but he may do to bond what Dalton did or Clooney did for Batman!!!
Hulk Hogan as Bond! “I’ll have a vodka martini shaken not stirred, brother.”
I don’t care anymore…..*sigh*
Actually Darko, how about the other way around?
Noooooooo, no more. Even if they consider Katie Holmes as the new Bond girl and Cuise as the new Bond. I don’t care !!
