Our New Bond
I’m happy. It appears as though one of my favourite actors, Eric Bana, has been chosen to play James Bond now that Pierce Brosnan has stepped down. Now, the last time an Australian was given the Bond job, it didn’t turn out overly well. I don’t know what else Lazenby had under his acting belt before he did it, but Bana seems to have enough.
Eric is the guy they want but he has a reputation for being demanding. They want to modernize Bond and turn him into a youthful, suave and modern hero to compete with the likes of Spiderman and Keanu (Reeves) in the Matrix
An interesting choice, going young. I’m quite sure all the previous Bonds weren’t too young when they started. Hell, Brosnan is 51, now. It’ll be interesting to see how this pans out. As long as they keep him in the Vanquish, it should be fine.
