Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The co-worker who brought all this to mind started by suggesting David Boreanaz, which at the very least had my brain whirring for a while.
Then he said "Alexis Denisof," and we both nodded in satisfaction and moved on to another topic.
I love the Leary suggestion.

Hmm, AD. . . and yet, CKR would have been so perfect.

Speaking of Keanu and casting, I really can't imagine:
Will Smith harbors no regrets over his decision to turn down the role of Neo in The Matrix trilogy - because Keanu Reeves was "born" to play the part. The Independence Day heart-throb is relieved when he watches Reeves starring in the sci-fi movies, because he fears he would not have done the role justice. The 36-year-old says, "That's the role Keanu was born to play. When I watch the movie and I see the choices he made, there are a hundred occasions when I think, 'I would have messed that up.'"

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
At least Julian McMahon is from a British Commonwealth country and as the son of a former Australian Prime Minister his upbringing means he could pull off Bond's sauve sophistication.
Can't really picture him as Bond.
btw ... has anyone else heard about the Director's Cut of xXx? Apparently the DVD contains a short that deals with the death of Xander Cage, thus explaining why Vin Diesel isn't making xXx2.

"Messed that up," Ali. It's from IMDB.

Well, I think Ian Fleming might have been on your side way back when, but the decidedly manual labouring Connery managed to act and pull it off.

Connery was suave, he just wasn't posh. Which is the mistake they keep making; Goldeneye proved that Sean Bean would have been a perfect, but they had to go for another tailor's dummy.
they won't hire another australian. I'd like it to be Adrian Lester or Paul Bettany, but I suspect they'll try for Owen. The problem is that most young british actors who have anywhere near enough polish are post-Grant milksops. What you need is someone who can do pratfalls and quips and seductions, has a good RSC background, looks good in a suit, can convincingly fire a handgun and throw a punch and looks bright enough to be a spy. Basically you want Alexis D.
