Idris Elba.
According to the t'internet, the Sony hack has revealed an email from Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Amy Pascal simply stating:
"Idris should be the next bond"
I think he'd make a great Bond |

i'm not a huge bond fan but I do like Idris lol
how does James Bond work, are we to believe that all the incarnations are the same person because if so how will it work or is everyone recruited to that position called James Bond? like a job title? or is it more along the lines of the Dr? |

I don't think Elba could do it. He's said before in an interview that he wants to do it.
He's a good TV actor but I've seen some of his films and he's not so much of a good film actor.
In TV you get used to a character/actor or they've got time to 'grow' into the character.
In film there's only one chance, and if the actor is doing a bad job pretty much no one on set will say so (depending on the actor).
Just my opinions. |

I think it could work. He'd be a cracking Bond if he can pull off the ironic humour and the script writers get it right. I think Daniel Craig's Bond is the wrong type of character as he comes across as too angst ridden and earnest and the role has become almost humourless. |

"I had a bizarre dream recently with Idris Elba, Jet Li and Art Malik...but I digress.
Nope: can't see it, a black Bond?!! Nah!"

Would be the death of the series. Daniel Craig has at least one more movie contracted after spectre. Then they will start looking possibly.
Lucky its not down to some exec at Sony but with Barbra broccoli and her hubby. And party of the licence agreement with Fleming ( or his estate ) was a strict guide to the physical attributes of bond... One of the reasons you will never see Tom cruise as bond also. |

Tom Cruise is American anyway. Is Bond not supposed to be British?
I, personally, don't like Daniel Craig as Bond |

"Would he get acting lessons first?
Looks good but has got the acting ability of a park bench."
I agree. I've only seen him in Luther and the Mandela film but thought both performances were pretty dire.  |

If you haven't already seen it, you should watch Skyfall. It deviated from the formula and is actually one of my favourite Bond films. |
