Bana not Bond

And just when I thought the next Bond film might actually be worth watching, there's this in the Star :

007 Bana rumour not true

In yesterday’s Buzz, we had an item saying that Eric Bana (Troy, The Hulk) is in negotiations to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. Apparently, Coming Soon! has confirmed that the rumour is simply not true.

It is learned that Bana had not even been approached for the role of the British spy.

Recently, Brosnan announced that he was done with the 007 franchise after four films and won’t be back for a fifth. Now speculation has it that Brosnan has simply started the negotiation process in the media and may still be in the picture after all.

Several names have been mentioned : Orlando Bloom, Heath Ledger, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor. Some punters (and I mean real punters) are betting on such unlikely names as Robbie Williams and David Beckham, no doubt putting their money on these boys' pecks, erm.. peccadilloes. So who should be the next Bond? It doesn't interest me anymore, unless of course the other Aussie hunk is picked.
