The rumours are that the final auditions for Bond could be this week. According to Moviehole through Cinematical, Martin Campbell is in London this coming week for that very fact.
The Telegraph reported that the pool of candidates has been reduced to four; Moviehole suggests the last men standing could be Ioan Gruffudd (who recently proclaimed himself “10 years too young” for the part), Julian McMahon, Daniel Craig and Alex O’Lachlan. Most interestingly, according to the Telegraph, “The auditions have reached their most important stage: how the actors fare in the sack. So stand-in Bond girls have been hired to act out select love scenes from past Bond films with the final four actors.”
The jokes come pouring in! I’m not so sure about the likely candidates though, I had thought McMahon had said no, as had Gruffudd, with Craig actually opening up about not wanting the role anymore. However, all rumours and all speculation, but it does look good that this particular movie rumour can soon be killed off, wouldn’t that be good?
Okay, so last chance. Your choice for Bond (whoever that might be, on the list or not) here, and come the end of auditions and the final announcement we shall see.
Me, I’m turning away from wooden Owen after Sin City. I quite like Craig for the role now, that rougher look is quite suited to a newer Bond, and he actually looks like he could carry off the idea of killing someone!
