Danny Dyer: I'd be cheap James Bond

Post by Blowfeld »

(UKPA) – 3 hours ago

Danny Dyer is offering to save the James Bond film franchise.

Danny Dyer reckons he'd be the perfect budget Bond
The Football Factory star is offering to play 007 himself, for a cheap fee, after news the Bond films are on hold because the studios are so deeply in debt.

Danny wrote in his Zoo magazine column: "It's a shame, because I really love the Bond films - but getting me in would help them right out - I'd do it for £200 a week."

He added: "There's a Facebook campaign for me to be the next 007 and I'm f***ing thrilled about it. That's a mad idea, but I think I could pull it out of the bag.

"You don't need £60m to make a film; most of mine are made for under one million. As long as you've got your star man and the right people around him, that's all that matters. F*** the CGI b******s - go back to the old school. Keep campaigning, lads - I won't let the side down."
Perhaps Eon cheapened Bond too much when it can be argued that just about anyone can step in for Daniel and do a serviceable job.

Yes, he'd be cheap. I wonder why.

I like him. He could not be Bond but would be better than Craig.

I was going to say at least he looks more like Bond than Craig. I'm not familiar with him either. Oh well I'll probably not know who the next bond is either

Favorite Bond Movie: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible, Kingsman: The Secret Service and The November Man or any upcoming actioners starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good since it will help him expand his reputation as an actor especially in the action realm)

It hard to find someone who match the likes of Sean or Pierce.

I can think of several actors who could play the classic Bond. Nobody will ever live up to Sean, but a Jackman or Cavill or Worthington could be as good as Pierce, I feel.

He's not bad looking, IMO.. and the fact that he wouldn't do it for money is nice of him.

I like him a lot-not to say that I haven't liked the last few Doctors as well! :cheers:

He does look more like Bond that I first though although he appear alittle dim from that picture. Probably not a fair comparison
