this cannot be happening.

The rumblings have been around for a few days but it hit the press today over at MSNBC who have been in contact with a source claiming they've been trying to get Russell Crowe for the role of James Bond once Brosnan leaves the franchise.

it's a rumor. please let it stay that way. i love the Bond films, but i'd have to boycott them if Crowe was Bond, out of respect for Dennis.

Crowe joins an ever increasing list of candidates for the role when Brosnan goes including the likes of fellow Aussie Hugh Jackman.

that's better.
