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

[Keith Emmerson]

I saw the trailer too; Craig looks more like an Arnie type muscularly action
hero rather than a refined James Bond. Not to mention the fact that he
couldn’t drive a manual, thus having to wreck a DB5 by converting it to an
automatic.

Yes, please... Ian, if you know anything.

As I understand it, Geoffrey is a restaurateur from Mayfair, with no acting
experience.
As much as I love the family and the connection - I'm hoping that this
rumour is not accurate

Norm

incidentally, having seen the 21/2 minute trailer for Casino Royale...  I am
very much looking forward to Daniel Craig as Bond - the movie looks very
good.

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?

 

Peter

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 HYPERLINK
"http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/moores%20son%20to%20reprise%20
the%20saint%20role_1008314" \nContactMusic. 

"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."
