Bond, Black Bond.

I had to read this twice to make sure I was getting the message. Apparently, Jamie Foxx wants to play the role of the secretive British spy agent James Bond. I'm not sure how that's going to work, but it would be interesting to see. Jamie believes he can put "a little swing" and "a little hip-hop" to the role and that the British accent wouldn't be a problem for him.

This is like Beyonce saying she wants to play Wonder Woman.

Someone on MadTV or SNL really needs to parody this...

So many different people have played Bond, its bound to happen.

C'mon, Sydney Poitier as bond - would be AWESOME!!! (In his younger days of course) - not sure if Foxx could pull it off though. :)

Ummm I really wouldn't want that to happen.

No offense.. but a black Bond would be a terrible idea.
Now create a new character... ok maybe.

[Wild Weasel]

Now create a new character... ok maybe.

On that note... do you think Bond could ever pass the torch and start another successful franichise? Some new 008 guy or something? Or do you think any attempt would just be doomed to failure?

[-RJ3-]

No offense, but I dont think he will play a good role as James Bond... Its like Kanye West Singing ... (I hate that song, yet it plays in your head over and over)

I want Jason Statham if a replacement should happen.

I could totally see Jason Statham doing Bond.
Or Clive Owen.

Clive Owen can be badass as well. Although, I see Clive as more of a Gunslinger, where as Jason can do both.

I think Fail.

[leungly]

I believe Clive Owen was considered for the role but turned it down as he didn't want to be typecast in the Bond role.

Yeah, I like how they both can "drive the cars". Statham has the athletic ability. I guess he's kinda like Owen and Craig mashed into one. And they all have the accent too. It doesn't matter what kind of accent, but Bond should just have one lol!

I think I read this somewhere too.

008? Yes Fail.
