I read this article in the Hollywood Reporter yesterday that states some weeks ago Martin Campbell asked Clive Owen to play 007 (Campbell recently directed Owen in Beyond Borders) but Clive turned down the part. Wilson and Broccoli apparently cannot come to terms with who they want to play Bond.

I love the part that says Broccoli didn't find Jackman masculine enough. This has to be the most asinine statement I've read. Given Jackman's cigar-chomping, lack-of-shaving, ass-whooping Wolverine (who got totally ripped for X2), and given Roger Moore & Pierce Brosnan's nancy-boy effections when playing Bond, Babs B. is clearly talking out of her ass.
