Jack Aubrey Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Dark Horizons reports: MI6 reports that Oscar-nominee Clive Owen has shot down recent reports that he's a finalist for the role of James Bond in the upcoming "Casino Royale" saying "They have never approached me, it's nothing but a rumor." Owen's next project will be director Wolfgang Petersen's remake of The Poseidon Adventure. He'll portray the role of Reverend Frank Scott originally played by Gene Hackman in the 1972 feature. "Clive's thrilled. Even if he leaves (the Oscars) empty-handed, he'll be able to take great comfort from the fact Wolfgang wants him in the film," said a source. Does this rule out Owen for Bond? Despite no official approach, not necessarily. "Poseidon" is about to begin shooting shortly on the Warners lot and should be wrapped by late Summer/early Fall whereas "Casino Royale" doesn't being filming til either late Fall or early 2006.

anagramking Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Too bad, because he would make a great Bond. He was fantastic in "Closer." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasartymac Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Yup. He is my choice for Bond. As a fan of the books and the films, I feel he would fit the character fantastically and still bring another new edge to 007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
