  • In Die Another Day Sean Connery as Bond's trainer and previous 007. In Skyfall Connery as the old Scottish man who helps Bond and M.
  • Roger Moore as the villain in a rumoured Bond movie called 007 MIA, which was set to release in 2008 with Daniel Craig as Bond. Lol that was just a joke dont take it seriously.

    Sean Connerys toupee from NSNA was actually the same one used when Bond turned Japanese in YOLT.

    Julian McMahon was considered to play Bond. I think McMahon himself started this rumor.

    I was going through some of my old threads that I started and I thought I would try to bump this one as I enjoyed reading the responses. Any more fake rumors to report?

    Rumour I read in a tabloid at the time (Ici Paris, which is considered in France to be even more disreputable than The Sun) :

    LALD was to feature a scene where Bond would be entirely naked, except for two pistols on a string to hide his... family jewels.

    Then, there was the rumour that Bond would kill Octopussy in OP.

    As for the Olsen twins rumour : 1) Many child stars have gone on to have big careers and critical and public acclaim long after the parts that made them famous (Jodie Foster, Judy Garland, our own Sophie Marceau). And 2) Their sister Elizabeth isn't too bad herself. So that one I could have seen happening.

    Robbie really looks like Sean there, and in recent days the song has made a resurgence on my music charts.

    I've always liked the song, even long before I actually knew it was based on James Bond. I was only six years old when it was released and only two years into Bond.

    Great thread idea.. I can think of a whole bunch but top 10 for me (in no particular order)

    1. 2004 The Man with Dragon Tattoo being filmed as Brosnan's 5th and final film i thought the idea would of been good and a nice way to end the old franchise before rebooting with Casino Royale
    2. Olsen Twins in Quantum Of Solace for the sheer hilarity factor alone no one believed it but man if it was true I think many on this site would of abandoned bond lol (that said if a former american kid star become a bond girl I'll approach it with healthy skepticism but i refuse to throw out a whole film that i haven't seen based on someone's resume)
    3. Bond 22 is Risico this one gained considerable traction and many referred to bond 22 as Risico even days before the title was announced
    4. Bond 23 is The Property of a lady and the fan made plot... It seemed cool to me and a neat way to utilize the Fleming title. Whoever came up with it I think your a genius and would love to read your fan fic.
    5. Bond 23 is The Hildebrand Rarity a favorite Fleming title of mine and rumored days before Skyfall was announced... Maybe Bond 24 :D
    6. Matheu Armanic, Ralph Fiennes, any actor who is male and we don't know the character name is Blofeld... Blofeld was rumored to appear in Quantum and he wasn't I doubt he'll be in Skyfall and find Fiennes as a future M far more interesting.
    7. Bond 21 will be set in Ireland and feature Irish terrorists personally I would of found this to be a far more interesting end to Brosnan's tenure then what we got.
    8. Bond 17 will be the property of a lady and feature the hand over of Hong Kong.. we all read the plot but I don't believe it's been verified as being A) real and B) used for Dalton's third especially the title part. irregardless good outline would of loved to see Dalton in it.
    9. Danny Boyle will direct Bond 23 first Skyfall rumor and a good one at that.
    10. Mark Strong will be the Villain in Skyfall another nice rumor that wound up being false.
    Love all of these and here are 10 more that as of this date are rumors

    1. Tom Hardy is Bond number 7: look no one believed this rumor but I wanted it to be true I like him as 007 and would love to see him in bond 26
    2. Chris Nolan as bond 25’s director: look while his dialogue has always been pretentious I still enjoy Batman begins the dark knight and most of rises
    3. Bond 25 is Shatterhand: as a title I feel this will happen eventually and I don’t mind it


    Those are 3 for now

    How did he take it?

    He never liked RW, he just thought his casting as Bond was a done deal. I explained it was a stupid rumor and how it came about.

    I remember a rumoured title for B23, Clandestine Supernova. :D For TND there was Dreamweaver as a rumoured title. I would like it if it wasn't already used for a program.

    Another rumored title for Bond 18 (TND) was "Aquatica."

    I thought it was Aquatic to have Terence Stamp as the big bad.
