Wash ,'Bushwhacked'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Is anyone on MI-5 suave and 30-ish?
I think the problem here is that these people are the worst spies evar. Also, I don't think the big movie franchise could get nearly as much Heroic Suffering mileage out of them as a TV series can. Generally speaking, I don't think big movie franchises get anything out of suffering, except what they put their audiences through.

Don't tell that to the Bourne folks.
I'm pretty sure they only let Brits play Bond.
Don't tell that to the Lazenby folks.

Isn't Brosnan really Irish? Or does that count as "Brit"? (It's like the differences between Great Britain, the UK, and just plain England. Confusing.)

Ah, I knew I'd missed one when I was mentally going through the list. So I guess there's precedent if they decide to go with Bana.
[eta: Irish/English/Scottish/Welsh are all under the "British" umbrella, I'm pretty sure.]
So. Pretty.
Worst spy ever!
Wait, he got the actress who plays Zoe pregnant? Huh.
I'm pretty sure they only let Brits play Bond.
Pffft. As Teppy points out, men who were indeed Brits but decidedly not English have played Bond (the first Bond was a Scot, dammit!), and AD is half-English, or anyhow spent his formative years actually in England.
Not that I think he has a chance in hell of even being considered (though he would rock so very hard at it).
Pierce is Irish, and would probably be more taken aback than Lazenby by the mis-ID. [edit: though it looks like JZ is saying he is a Brit]
Worst spy ever!
Actually, I meant wassname. The black guy. Whose name on the show escapes me. Not Tom, not Harry. Zoe's flatmate. Why can't I remember his name?
We need more Spooks. A&E should rerun the episodes they already have.

Danny?
Jessica -- I'd been sure that Great Britain was the island itself, and the United Kingdom was GB and Northern Ireland. And that if you called an Irish person British it's like calling a Scottish person English.
David Oyelowo
He is so much hotter than the other guy.
