There's a hint of a whiff of a rumour that an actor named Colin Salmon may be lined up for Bond.
Make of it what you will.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister told me he was the bookie favourite!
Of course, there are too many rumours to keep track of, and he's already appeared in the Bond movies, but I like it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Dude. He has already been in Bond movies. So, basically, he would be promoted into the James Bond pants? I mean, in the outside-the-movie world, we know it is a revolving set of people in the JB pants, but that would make it so inside the movie as well.
He is quite good looking, BTW.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Just googled him and hey, I know that guy! He was terrific as the ultra-spiffy superintendent in Keen Eddie. He can totally do suave sophistication as well as ruthlessness, and the idea of the first black Bond is nifty.

Compassionately intolerant
Colin Salmon
Perfect with a side of Cubby Broccoli

... black Bond...
Followed closely thereafter by the first white Shaft.

I sincerely hope we're done with Shaft movies.

I'ma gonna see Closer today. On one hand, there's Julia Roberts factor, but the combination of Clive Owen, Jude Law, and Nathalie Portman is irresistible. I sort of hear that the content of the movie is near the Neil LaBute territory though.

I think this is where the rumour came from. A number of suspiciously large bets were put on him a few days ago, so one of the bookmakers stopped taking bets. The others claim it's a stunt.
