新的007快要上映了, 現在開始爆出真正的選角內幕(之前有很多都是瞎掰的)
Ewan真的是他們最早先的, 取代皮爾斯的第一選擇
至於 Daniel Craig, 其實連導演也沒把握他真的是適合的人選
(不過我還以為是這個導演自己去找他的咧?)
不過雖然 Ewan 連試鏡都拒絕了, 業界其實也不大覺得可惜
因為若他真的演007才真的是浪費咧...........:P

McGregor was ‘choice’ as 007

THE selection process to choose the new James Bond was so secretive that even
Q — the fictional head of the British secret service — would have been
proud.
Now its cover has been blown with the revelation that Ewan McGregor, the
prolific Scottish actor, was the first choice of producers to replace Pierce
Brosnan as 007.
The role eventually went to Daniel Craig, the English actor whose craggy,
careworn features are believed by some traditionalists to clash with the
character’s smooth image.
The Perthshire-born star of Trainspotting and Star Wars turned down the offer
because he feared he would be typecast and was concerned about committing to
another series of films following his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
In a blow to Craig, Martin Campbell, director of the latest Bond film Casino
Royale, has admitted that he “wasn’t totally convinced” that the English
actor would be a match for his predecessors, including Sir Sean Connery.
Campbell, who also directed GoldenEye and the Zorro movies, claims McGregor
was approached early in the long search to replace Brosnan.
At the time it was rumoured that the actor had been given a screen test.
However, he refused to be drawn. “I think he got another job or decided he
didn’t want to do it,” Campbell said.
Instead, McGregor, 35, has chosen an eclectic mix of projects. While Craig
was filming Casino Royale, McGregor was playing Norman Warne, the tragic
suitor of Beatrix Potter in Miss Potter, a biopic of the children’s author
starring Renee Zellweger.
McGregor is currently in New York filming The Tourist, a psychological
thriller in which he plays an accountant who becomes embroiled in a murder
investigation after being lured into a sex club.
Despite the Bond role being one of the most glamorous and lucrative in the
film industry, insiders said they were not surprised that McGregor turned
down the offer to play 007.
Even Connery, arguably the best-loved Bond, who endorsed McGregor as a future
Bond, urged caution, describing the role as a “poison chalice”.
One film industry source, who asked not to be named, said:
“I think he’s
got a greater range than being stuck in that role, which he would be for
quite some time.”
Though McGregor said in one interview last year that playing Bond might be “
fun”, he said he would worry about the extent of the commitment.
“With Star Wars, we did a three-month shoot and a couple of weeks of
pick-ups so it wasn’t an enormous involvement. But with Bond, I suppose it’
s a much longer shoot and there’s a massive amount of publicity,” he said.
“I would worry about not being able to do any other work.”
The deal with Craig, who starred in Layer Cake and The Jacket, was announced
last October. It is understood that the multi-million-pound agreement is for
three films.
