Next Bond actor???
Feb 16 2010, 3:19 AM EST | Post edited: Feb 16 2010, 3:19 AM EST
I've recently heard reports that "Aussie actor Sam Worthington may be the next James Bond."
Now maybe I'm being paranoid here but I think it's a little early to be hearing stories like this. Worthington could make a good Bond but seriously - I want to see Daniel Craig playing Bond for a few more outings yet.
Just when I thought the series was dead nearly 4 years after DAD, Casino Royale came along and reinvigorated the whole thing, with Craig proving immediately that he is a great Bond for today's times. It was great to see the first Bond book finally adapted to the screen the way it should've been - with a tough as nails kick-ass Bond and a few key first rate action scenes. While I preferred CR, I thought QoS was an overall good continuation of the story of Bond's beginnings, despite somewhat lacking the great pacing and cohesion of CR. At the end of QoS, M fully trusts Bond as her new 00 agent.
Now I'm sure Sam Worthington could be a good Bond as well but I really think they should keep Craig in the role for a few more films yet. Would be great to see his Bond meeting characters like Moneypenny and Major Boothroyd for the first time! He's a great new Bond and deserves more movies as 007!
