    You gotta read the comments that follow the imdb article. Some of the reactions are priceless, such as the guy who thinks if they're possibly casting Damian Lewis or Orlando Bloom you may as well cast Eugene Levy or Nicholas Cage.

    Other good selections mentioned are Clive Owen and Jack Davenport, the guy from Kingsmen. Clive Owen would be an interesting cast.

    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    I think I like Clive Owen. He would make a very adequate bond. I'm watching Bond right now. Tomorrow never dies to be exact. Today is a Bondathon

    I'd like to see a younger Bond maybe someone around 35. I liked Tom Hiddleston in The Night Manager but I'm not sure I see him as Bond Material. He seems too sissy. I someone who can play a hard Bond the way Craig did. I think Tom Hardy could do it.

    What they need is another Connery. He was 32 when he did "Dr No" in 1962, but he could pass for 35-38. Actors these days are too busy trying to look younger than their years.
    Whoever they get will possibly lock in for at least three films, which would probably be filmed over a ten year period. That would rule out Damian Lewis, who is all kinds of wrong for the role, and Clive Owen, whom I would have loved to see as Bond fifteen years ago, but now he's 50, so that rules him out.
    I doubt Fassbender would do it. Shame (ha! Geddit, geddit?!) Hiddleston seems to be a contender at the moment.
    But then they just might get somebody we've never heard of, who just comes out of nowhere. Like they did with Timothy Dalton, whom I thought was fantastic, but hampered by scripts that had a little too much Moore-Bond residue.
    At any rate, I'm sure we'll find out in due course. Anything that helps to remove any memory of "SPECTRE" can only be a good thing, as far as I'm concerned.

    I don't believe nuthin', g-bot. Basically, every maitre d in London ('cos they happen to wear dinner jackets a lot) has a shot at being Bond, if Fleet Street is to be believed.
    Whenever some Brit actor appears in a tv show or film wearing a tux, suddenly the Press thinks he'll be the next Bond. Aidan Turner in that Agatha Christie mini-series lately and BANG!, he's the next OO7.
    Remember way-back-when, when Roger Moore threatened to quit after each film?
    Mel Gibson, Lewis Collins ( from tv's "The Professionals"), and some obscure actor named David Robb were all being touted as the next Bond.
    I'll tell ya who's gonna be the next Bond. I'll tell ya the day after they officially announce it.
    Believe me, kids, it's not worth the angst.
    If you're a Bond fan.
