About a week ago I read a rumor that Al Pacino is going to play the head of the evil organization in the new James Bond movie. Now mind you this is still just a rumor, but what do you think about this casting choice? I think it's pretty cool. Pacino is one of our finest actors and it'll be great to see him play off of Daniel Craig's Bond. What do you think?

i have a problem with actors I like playing out and out baddies, unless the film is particularly set around that character. It is the same with Ed Harris in National Treasure II, always associate him with being the good guy

Yeah I know what you mean. It wyorks sometimes and other times it falls flat on it's face. I am usually intrigued though when a "good guy" plays a "bad guy" (Tom Hanks in Road To Perdition). Thanks for your response.

I hadn't heard that...I hope it's true...I love Pacino and think he'd be great in it. I really liked the last 007 film...Craig did a fantastic job.

Yeah Craig was excellent and so was the movie. I hope it's true too. Well, time will tell. Thanks for your response.
