John Travolta as next Bond villain?

edited February 2014 in News Posts: 1,548
According to an interview in the Daily Telegraph John Travolta says that he would love to play a Bond villain and has had discussions with Barbara Broccoli about this. Not sure I can see this happening but what do others think of this idea?

    Much stronger contenders for the part out there, although I do like Travolta.

    I wouldn't necessarily be against it but he's certainly not my first choice either. If I were in charge I'd probably have to pass.

    I think he's probably too big a "name" to be Bond villain, isn't he? A bit obvious, like petrol, that one.

    Maybe Travolta should have a face/off with his competitors :D

    I don't think so. If Travolta was seriously considered, he would not talk about it on The Daily Telegraph. And nothing against him, but he is not exactly of Javier Bardem's caliber, however famous.

    If JT was cast Bond would probably have a hard time staying alive! I thank you. I'm here all week!

    I wonder if Travolta's physical deformity would require lots of Grease...

    If it did he might Get Shorty to rub it on for him !

    That might be quite The Punisher to his career, though. He might need to Take Pelham 123, or travel From Paris, With Love.

    I got pages of these, I can go on.

    We might be able to take this to The Tenth Level. I sense we're Two of a Kind, but there might be a Blow Out.

    So... I guess nobody is taking this seriously.

    We're taking it somewhat seriously, but we're also having fun just using Travolta films as lines. I would love to see Travolta in a Bond movie, maybe not as a villain (he always seems somewhat stale as a villain).

    Pop by the Star Wars thread some day, there's a great big troll-fest using lines from Quantum of Solace to describe Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm.

    Be Cool, and we'll climb Ladder 49 together, like the Wild Hogs we are.

    I wonder if there's a Domestic Disturbance out there somewhere. It's a Mad City I live in.
