Clive Owen = James Bond?

I've made a few posts on this subject. Apparently the British tabloids are reporting that Clive Owen will be announced as James Bond #6 within the week.

The photo provided in the link from Owen's earlier film, Croupier, makes him look like a damned Quasimodo. I'm all for a "grittier, more realistic" James Bond, but he shouldn't look like some sort of troll.

Personally, I'd much rather have Jude Law as the next James Bond. I don't think Clive Owen has the right look for the part. Jude Law is young and suave; Clive Owen's face looks like the far side of the moon, and the only starring role he's had in a film anyone's ever seen was in the travesty that was King Arthur. The same would go for Ewan MacGregor or Ioan Gruffudd.

The Fly will, of course, be continuing coverage of this very important news story in the next week.

I sense that we may have another Timothy Dalton on our hands.
