Top 10 Ideas for an Alternate James Bond

For the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace, the name is Craig. Daniel Craig. But who else would make a great, alternative James Bond? Here's our Top 10 suggestions…


Editorial Review

Daniel Craig returns as the taciturn and oft-battered James Bond in Quantum of Solace. He's signed up for another two Bond films, and follows a line of top Bonds that includes Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan (not forgetting David Niven or George Lazenby). But who else could be James Bond? Here are our 10 Top ideas:

1. George Clooney - charm, sophistication, humour and good value in a fight!
2. Brad Pitt – another obvious choice; he looks great in – and out – of a tuxedo, but more for the action Bond.
3. Cary Grant – with CGI technology always on the rise, even this is possible.
4. Hugh Jackman – the only way can be up for Hugh after Wolverine and Australia.
5. Guy Pearce – sticking with the Aussies, Guy'd be a lean mean Bond machine.
6. Keanu Reeves – a slightly exotic Bond, but without the Matrix sunnies please.
7. Rob Lowe – now that he's got his cred back, he'd be slick and suave too.
8. David Duchovny – for a sleazier Bond…
9. Gerard Butler – burly, brave and British, what more do you need?
10. John Barrowman – the sexy Doctor Who and Torchwood star would make a great first gay Bond!

Sorry to say but all the above mentioned are terrible choices and many of them are far too obvious - daniel craig is great because he is so gritty and real. Lets get interesting and make it Idris Elba.

Bond must be British, heterosexual and white...Clive Owen would be a reasonable option...Keanu Reeves is an idiot, Bond is not
