<strong>Tribute</strong> October 2004<br />
The Spying<br />
Game p<br />
now that Pierce Brosnan<br />
has turned in his license<br />
to kill after just<br />
four missions, the search is on for<br />
the next James Bond.<br />
And it seems any actor with<br />
a vaguely British-sounding accent<br />
has been rumored for the<br />
role, from Ewan McGregor and<br />
Jude Law, who<br />
certainly have the<br />
Thunderballs to<br />
pull it off, if not<br />
the desire, to<br />
Roger Moore-ish Octopussies<br />
like Colin Firth and Hugh Grant.<br />
But while new names are<br />
bandied about for Bond faster<br />
than you <strong>ca</strong>n say Ernst Stavros<br />
Blofeld, only a few are worth<br />
serious consideration.<br />
Top T to bottom, (l-r): Hugh Jackman,<br />
Eric Bana, Clive Owen, Gerard Butler,<br />
Colin Farrell and Orlando Bloom.<br />
Go to tribute.<strong>ca</strong><br />
to vote for your<br />
top choice for 007.<br />
Here are the top contenders:<br />
X-Man Hugh Jackman says he’d happily join<br />
Her Majesty’s Secret Service, and Hulk star Eric<br />
Bana has also been mentioned despite giving a<br />
resounding Dr. No to the idea. Clive Owen<br />
saved merry old England as King Arthur and<br />
could do the same in Bond’s tux, and Timeline T ’s<br />
Gerard Butler has had his Golden Eye on the<br />
role since Brosnan threatened to quit prior to<br />
the last movie.<br />
Thoughts of Pussy Galore<br />
have to appeal to Irish bad-boy<br />
Colin Farrell, although his <strong>ca</strong>sting<br />
could leave the 42-year-old<br />
franchise both shaken and stirred, while some<br />
are pushing for TV’s Highlander, r Adrian Paul.<br />
Then there are those junior James Bond<br />
rumors. With the success of Matt Damon’s<br />
Bourne films, producers could be in the market<br />
for some younger spy <strong>ca</strong>ndy. Orlando Bloom<br />
has been mentioned for a film based on Bond’s<br />
college years (in which he presumably engages<br />
in martini-chugging contests and sorority house<br />
panty raids before taking on Dean Blofeld).<br />
Of course, Brosnan could pull a Sean<br />
Connery and Die Another Day (if there’s<br />
anything Bond fans have learned, it’s<br />
never say never).<br />

THE VOTES ARE IN<br />

and Vin Diesel were your picks for Lois Lane and Lex Luthor.<br />
