[THE_EPISTLE] Another Moore to play the Saint..?

[Peter Sewell]

Interesting.

I know they are taking there time with this one...and quite rightly so.  I know nothing of Geoffrey's work (perhaps someone can point me in that direction) so I will not voice an opinion as to whether he is the right actor or not.  However should Geoffrey be the new ST I just wonder if the critics will concentrate on comparing father and son rather than on the script, the portrayal etc.....one wonders if this is why Daniel Craig was chosen............provided ContactMusic have it right.
Ian.....any beans to spill?

  MI6 web site reports:
  Sir Roger Moore's son is set to reprise his father's role in hit 1960s TV series The Saint - according to ContactMusic. 

  "The former James Bond star told producers Geoffrey Moore would be a perfect replacement for Pierce Brosnan as 007, but they decided to cast gritty British actor Daniel Craig instead." 

  And 40-year-old Geoffrey is now in the running to play Simon Templar, and is "much more talented than me", according to his dad. Roger says, "The rights have been optioned by various companies and are now with Geoffrey and his business partner. Watch this space."
