A pretty reliable scooper tells us that Orlando Bloom is being considered for the role of 007 when Pierce Brosnan takes his tux to the cleaners. We’re also told that the idea of using Mel Gibson for a 007 film is also still on the cards, even if Mel only wants to do one film.
Might be something to this Orlando rumour – the Gibson thing’s not likely to happen me thinks – with Teen Hollywood also reporting that Bloom’s under consideration.
A Bond source says, "They are pulling out all the stops to get him. Orlando would be perfect for the part as he’s got the looks, the charm, the accent and the high profile that would make Bond even more popular. They want to move away from the traditional image of James Bond – the older, suave gentleman – and believe a younger, trendier actor will attract friends.
The actor’s spokesman said, "No decision had been made about him taking the role."
Not quite a denial, ey?
