Dream castings for Bond films
Just out of curiosity, have any of you guys ever had dream castings for Bond characters or Bond movies in particular?
Lately ive been thinking that Arnold Schwarzenegger would be a great choice as Auric Goldfinger since he is around the right age and shape for the role this time around, a freind of mine mentioned Dwayne Johnson as Jaws.

I think Gert Frobe and Richard Kiel were fine. I wouldn't replace them with anyone. There are certain roles I think were miscast, such as Christmas Jones and, since 2006, James Bond, but I don't have any one specific candidate to replace them.

That druggie mayor of Toronto sooooo looks like Goldfinger. I think Gerard Depardieu would be a good Goldfinger too. Any actress in Hollywood would have done better than Tanya Roberts too, yuck!

Forrest Whittaker would be the man as Mr. Big. He looks exactly how the novel describes him.

Re: Dream castings for Bond films
Scratch my earlier choice for Sgt pepper, I think John C Riley would be a perfect choice to play him.
A few actors ive always thought would have been great as Bond : Raul Julia,Laurence Olivier,Sam Neil.
Wint and Kidd - Bill Murray and Dan Ackroyd

Diane Kruger as Honey Ryder
Matt Lucas as Slugsy
I actually think Daniel Craig would have been a good Red Grant
