Gerard Butler never really struck me as a Bond contender until I saw this trailer. He spends the first section of the trailer clean-shaven and in a tux, without his usual heavy accent and I immediately thought of Bond
And Bond aside, this movie looks like it will kick some serious ass-- how have I not heard of this movie before today??
Also, Rick Yune (Zao) is the bad guy
M : Anthony Hopkins,Jeremy Irons,Richard Attenburogh,Richard Burton
Blofeld : Marlon Brando,Mark Strong,Hugo Weaving,Raul Julia
Yes i know some of these guys are dead but i can dream cant i?
Man he would have been a pain in the arse on set.
Really? He seemd pretty down to earth to me
I figure, if the producers always said 'if we could find an actor with the charm of Cary Grant and the ruthlessness of Jack Palance, we'd have a good Bond' then as an American Palance would have fit right in the Bond movie family as Felix
...or a Villain!
I don't know about Palance for Bond, but he had Felix written all over him in his younger days.
Palance was the first choice for Scaramanga. Personally, I think Palance would have made a better villain than an ally.
In the future, I think Sam Heughan and Dan Stevens should be given serious consideration.

Daniel Craig was in the Tomb Raider movie and it didn't effect him becoming James Bond.
If I remember correctly, he wasn't Lara Croft.
Exactly. And Dan wasn't the big name he is now back then like Tom is now after his turn in the TDKR, making him all the more known. The two situations are completely different.
But he got second billing and a supporting character, so that got him a bit famous. Add Layer Cake and that got him a lot of attention, so you see Craig was a bit famous before he became Bond. I don't think Hardy playing as Sam Fisher wouldn't effect his selection to play Bond.
But he is playing the leads in Splinter Cell and Mad Max, two very big movies. So he'll be out of the running by the time Craig leaves.
I think he's not really a household name, mainly because he hasn't had many big lead roles (as I said though that's changing).
A supporting role isn't the same as being the main character of a brand/franchise. If they're going to make Splinter Cell movies, they'll probably turn out at least three of them. And they're black ops movies, similar enough to Bond to effect the decision. He's also going to be Mad Max. Hardy is going to be the face of two major movie franchises. Craig was in a few notable movies, but was the face of none until Bond. I'm not sure how you think the two scenarios are comparable.
BTW, Fassbender, McGregor, et al. are all fine ideas, but are you counting on Daniel Craig's imminent demise? They'll be far too old to start to play Bond by the time Craig retires the part.
