Kenobi, Obi wan Kenobi' Rumors don't only live twice...
Hey folks, Harry here with the latest rumor regarding the casting of Bond. Colin Farrell has already claimed he isn't interested, and now we have this rumor. Frankly, I really hope he doesn't take the role. I'd rather Ewan originate new characters and creations on screen. He's one of the absolute best actors working today, and while there is hope that the Bond series can be genuinely cool again over at Sony - I kinda feel about Bond the way I do about Star Trek. I could go a decade without seeing any "New" takes on the material. Get some genuine distance from the series. Ya know? Here's the rumor...
Hi Harry and everyone, just read this online today, here is the link - Click Here
Not sure how I feel about this, I love Ewan McGregor, but not sure if I see him as Bond?
Love the site by the way! Christina x
McGregor to spy another day as 007?
By Metro
5 November 2004
Ewan McGregor, 33, who has long been tipped as the next James Bond, is in negotiations for the role.
A well-placed source said talks were at an early stage, adding: "Ewan has a big advantage - he's already an international star who's proven himself in both romantic and action roles."
The news came as Pierce Brosnan, 51, revealed his anger at being dumped. He said: "I was gutted because I was set up to do a fifth."
