According to Ross King (remember him?) on my local god-awful radio station, Hugh Jackman is in talks to replace Pierce Brosnan in the role of James Bond.
What do you think? Good, bad, or George Lazenby?

According to one of the papers the other day, Colin Salmon is in talks to be a black Bond.
Every now and then these things come up, and they usually fill some papers for a few days, and then they stop again.
Silly season ahoy !

Jackman was on Parkinson - shown in Australia - last week. When asked about being a contender for the role of Bbond, he quipped, "Me? I though that was Jude Law."

This was on IMDB a couple of days ago:

James Bond contender Clive Owen has snubbed the legendary franchise - by dismissing it as unchallenging. The British hunk is reported to be a frontrunner to replace departing 007 Pierce Brosnan when he hands over the superspy role after the next film. However, Gosford Park star Owen is nonplussed about the prospect of being the world's most famous hero - in fact, he doesn't want the job. According to British tabloid The Daily Express, he told a pal, "I think it's too formulaic, too tried and tested and a little past it's sell by date. I would not consider it to be a challenge. I've just come back from Los Angeles where I had a meeting with Francis Ford Coppola who wants to cast me in an exciting new project, which will be Bond-like but more challenging and relevant today. I'm really excited about it."
