Clive owen or Hugh Jackman. The only thing that is wrong with Hugh is that he doesn't have the english "look".

Strangely enough I can't care less who's the next Bond. The Bond movies have lost their magic for me. Till the late 90s I used to eagerly wait for the next one to come to theatres. But after Goldeneye I really haven't found any of them worthwhile.

There used to be a certain uniqueness, stand-apart-from-the-crowd character to the earlier Bond movies. But with today's over-emphasis on gadgets and f/x there are too many films with gadgets and f/x to make the Bond movies seem run of the mill.

The fall of the cold war era also has robbed us of a goldmine of villians. Where would SMERSH and SPECTRE be today. The recent Bond villians are all insipid characters.

I wish the next Bond movie was a delibrate throwback to the 60s ... with more emphasis on plots, beautiful girls and humour. Anyway, the Bond movies were a happy part of my past and I guess I have to move on...

Hopefully another Aston... Though if you go by the books Bond used to drive a blown Bentley...

yeah sure hope its an aston, most likely to be the AMV8 if it is though because that'll probably just be hitting the dealers floors by the time the next movies produced. Although the jag and the vanquish in the last one were so over the top, they didn't need all that stuff.

It was better when it was all much simpler, so much more effective

Yes, it's confirmed, the next Bond car will be a AMV8! Details at http://www.mi6.co.uk/sections/articl...ond21&s=bond21

On a related note, there'll be a new 5.1 remastered version DVD coming out next October just before the movie release. Sounds promising.... http://www.mi6.co.uk/sections/articl...ons.php3?t=&s=

Geez did you really need to ask that? Clive Owen would be good though. Clearly no one is thinking Jabba yet or he'd have the Job for sure. Wait TT has the right look too. Hmmm...?

Why not Tony Danza?
