| Totally agree. As others have mentioned, TPTB should take a hard look at the Bourne movies. This is the direction the Bond films need to move towards. |
Heck, maybe they should just do some movies using the actual Bourne stories, since the Bourne movies aren't using them

Connery was Scottish. Are Scots considered British?

And Brosnan is Irish. In fact, only Moore and Dalton were English (Lazenby was also an Aussie).

If you want to get really technical, Dalton was Welsh, with some Italian thrown into the mix.
So the only true Englishman to ever play the role was Roger Moore.

I'm not really into the Bond films, but I feel that Ryan Phillippe would play a very decent Bond and would meet the criteria of what the studios are looking for.

Phillipe is American and is like 5'4. Not to mention he's not that great of an actor.
That would be a horrible choice IMO.

Ditto everything that Pete said. Jackie Chan would make a better and more believable Bond that Ryan Phillippe!

Yes. Anyone from Scotland is both Scottish & British, just as anyone from England is English & British.

Which means Scottish, English or Welsh, not just English, people. As the poster is English, I'm presuming he knows the difference.

Wasn't Fleming so impressed by Connery that in subsequent books, he added some backstory making Bond part Scottish? With the English accent (as opposed to Scottish, which Connery toned down in the Bond movies) presumably explained by an education in public schools and Oxford?

Still think they should go with this guy, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0700856/
..or at least add him to the list of considerations. |
