Casino Royale - 20-08-04
Rumours that Australian actor Eric Bana ("The Hulk") is about to be signed as James Bond #6 in time for the 21st film in the series have resurfaced again.
Despire the actor's denial of the non-story earlier this month, movie site IMDB are reporting he's back inline to play 007.
IMDB reports, "Australian actor Eric Bana has been approached to play James Bond but has yet to decide on whether to accept the coveted role, according to reports. The Hulk star recently slammed speculation he was poised to replace Pierce Brosnan in the legendary franchise, insisting he had never been approached by producer Barbara Broccoli. But an insider tells London's Evening Standard newspaper that Bana is trying to decide whether starring as the world's favorite super-spy will damage his burgeoning film career, or enhance it. A source says, "Eric has been offered the part of James Bond but is currently deciding whether it's something he really wants to sign up to." According to the Bond insider, both British star Clive Owen and Australia's Hugh Jackman are in line for the role should Bana turn it down."
