Tom Hardy

How about Tom Hardy? Some people have been mentioning him in next Bond threads on other websites. The only thing I can remember watching him in is Star Trek Nemisis where he played the young Picard.

He is lined up to play Max in the next Mad Max film.

I think he should stick to novels. Tess of the D'Urbervilles is my favourite.

What about him as a young Picard in a potential TNG film of the reboot Trek series?

It would be fun if he could appear as Jean-Luc again in the next Star Trek film.

I've heard his name thrown around elsewhere but I'm not convinced as of yet that he's Bond material. I really think they need to go back to a more traditional Bondian look after Barbara's houseboy has moved on.

Speaking of Hardy as 007, I notice he's now only 6/1 to be the next Bond with paddypower, coming in from nowhere on the back of Inception, and now has a Facebook group campaigning for him to get the role.

He's not bad looking..less offensive to me than some of the other names always bandied about.

I don't think that's a problem - he is four inches taller than Daniel Craig. :wink:

I saw Hardy in Inception, and he was OK, but I wasn't left thinking "that guy should be Bond" the way I did when watching Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne in TDK.

Bale would be a good choice..as long as he doesn't have a temper tantrum during the filming :mrgreen:

Oh, that was strange... his sister and mother went looking for a hand out..not a good idea when your brother/son is Christian Bale, and has a bad temper!

Wasn't Bale cleared of those charges? I don't know what to believe about that, without being privy to all the facts.

This probably belongs on the Bale thread but they went looking for a handout. Apparently Christian and his dad baled on the mom and sister when Christian was pretty young. The sister and mom lived a hand to mouth existence. With Christian becoming a big famous movie star, it makes sense that they would try to get money from him.
