Bloom 'set to become' new James Bond

[Frequency]

I saw in some magazine that Hugh Jackman is out of acting and wants to become a full time father. Does that mean his future acting roles are negligent? I was hoping he would get the position.

i havn't heard that one yet, ive just heard that he hasnt signed up for X-men 3 yet, so Bond could be in the view for him, because in a interview once he was asked if he would like the part and he said he would.

why can't he do both?

[Popeye]

I couldn't think of a worse idea...

If Jackman would do both, then he wouldn't be a full time father to his children. This family would have to move with him whenever he have a movie in another country. All this would not be good for the family. Never works.

This seems far-fetched, but could prove to spice up developments...

From DarkHorizons.com:

Sci-Fi Wire continues its big scoopage today, the news service talked with famed Director Quentin Tarantino who revealed he has talked to Pierce Brosnan about the idea of adapting the first ever James Bond novel "Casino Royale" published in 1952 as Brosnan's fifth and final film in the series.

The plan he had was the offer of a low budget and Brosnan's return which would hopefully convince the producers to approve a one-time-only return to the character-driven spy plots of the first several 007 films: "Wouldn't it be great to have a James Bond movie that didn't cost $115 million and only cost $40 million or something like that? You know it's going to make its money back, and we [would] all do good. Maybe we win the critics this time, then you're back in business the way you were before".

The director noted however that the difficulty would be to convince producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli to diverge from the current formula of expensive action set pieces - and felt there was only "a thin chance" that he would win the project.

Tarantino's acting boy and "Die Another Day" cameo boy Michael Madsen spoke with The Toronto Sun about the Bond series and seems to indicate Pierce's heart just ain't in it - "Pierce lives right down the beach from me. Our kids play together," Madsen said. "And he told me he doesn't want to do another one. I also heard that they bought him out. I really don't know but an impasse is an impasse". Madsen said he was told that Brosnan will be replaced with an Australian, although he did not know who.

it's Heath Ledger

Not to long ago the rumors that Pierce Brosnan playing another Bond movie were very slim, in fact some said they he got his license to kill got revoked. A few days ago it was reported that actor Michael Madsen, who starred in “Die Another Day” as Damien Falco with Pierce Brosnan said that his good friend Pierce isn’t keen on doing the next 007 film, and as far as he knew – Pierce has already pulled out and they bought him out and that Brosnan will be replaced with an Australian. Then of course the news that Hugh Jackman could be the Next Bond – or even the much-rumored Mel Gibson spread all over the place.

Now ‘Clint’ over at Movie Hole tells us that a reliable long-time scooper has told that the Australian they're talking about for the role of James Bond isn't Jackman, and it isn't Gibson...it's actually Heath Ledger!
