The Latest James Bond Rumor

I enjoy going to Internet Movie Database to see what they think qualifies for news, and the latest rumors on the next James Bond film. So far, they've said everyone from Colin Farrell to Hugh Jackman are going to be the next James Bond.

Now, they're reporting that the next James Bond film will be based on the first Ian Fleming novel, Casino Royale. It will be directed by Martin Campbell, who previously did Goldeneye, and Pierce Brosnan will NOT be returning. The producers are looking for a young, unknown actor to replace Brosnan as the world's most famous spy.

Since it's too early to really comment on the new Bond film, I only hope that it's not a prequel. Most prequels so far, AHEM Phantom Menace, have turned out pretty bad, and left us with annoying teenager versions of characters we love. Also, don't make me have to mention James Bond Jr. I will if I have to.
