Sky Movies reports (via Dark Horizons) that Orlando Bloom is up for the role of young James Bond:

Sky Movies reports the British hunk is in serious talks about a series of films based on an idea by a new author about the early life of the MI6 agent. Bloom says "I love the idea, in principle, as he can be far more adventurous and do more stunts. This is as near as I think I will get to playing the grown up James for the next 20 years."

This film series, which Miramax and Dreamworks have both been barracking for already, would be based on a new series of young 007 novels which began this year with 'Silverfin' which has already become a best seller.

This is almost as bad as thinking about making that Bond film based on the Character Halle Berry played in 'Snooze Another Day'....

Any Bond film without Clive Owen will be boycotted, especially if the cast someone as horrible for the role as Bloom.
