Too old. He was link to that McClory/Sony renegade Bond film and GoldenEye. Personally I never really saw him as Bond.

It would be nice to see him in a rogue Bond movie back in 1999.

I thought McClory wanted Dalton for his rogue Bond film?

Dalton remained friendly with Eon so was unlikely. According to the internet Neeson was the favourite for a Sony Bond film. Despite rumours I can't believe Sean Connery could have made a James Bond film in 1999. I miss the days when McClory would threaten to make a Bond film every year from his garden shed.

Yes, how many remakes of Thunderball did he think the world needed?

Barbara Broccoli probably would have thought Neeson was too old, or too ugly(or both) :twisted:

I don't care. Like I said, I've no particular desire to see endless remakes of Thunderball, which is all that McClory had the right to do.

I think it would be interesting to see Neeson play an aging James Bond, which was an aspect in NSNA that was brought up once but then forgotten as quickly as the hype for that film.

I think there was talk of making Shrublands a diving school. You could probably have changed it enough to get one more film out of it.

I remember watching the opening scene of Schindler's List and being impressed with the way Neeson/Schindler was so commanding, suave and rugged. He smoothly charmed the Nazis and their women. Afterward, I began thinking of him as the next Bond because he projected masculinity, intelligence and fearlessness with such aplomb. Like Connery, he moved with a kind of grace that is uncommon for a big man.

I like Neeson. He's too old for Bond, but it'd be nice for him to get some work, especially right now :(
