Daniel Radcliffe: A Young James Bond?
Daniel Radcliffe, who has already shown signs that he’s itching to avoid being typecast as Harry Potter, is now rumored to still be in consideration for a role as a young James Bond. The rumor isn’t actually new, it surfaced several years ago, but has made a re-appearance, and it actually looks like Radcliffe is interested in the role.
The new Bond films will reportedly be based on Charlie Higson’s Young Bond books. The series started with SilverFin in 2005, and the fourth installment – Hurricane Gold – was released earlier this month. The stories take place in the 1930′s and revolve around Bond’s death-defying adventures at Eton College.
There’s just one slight problem. Radcliffe has grown up, and the Young Bond book series starts off when Bond is just 13 years old. So if Radcliffe does sign on, he’ll be one of the oldest 13-year-olds out there, or the filmmakers will have to make some creative changes.
It could be interesting, and with a recognizable face in Radcliffe in the films, it could spur a new generation of Bond fans.
In this picture especially, I can actually see him as a young Bond. I don’t really think it would be a bad choice at all.
I can’t see daniel radcliffe as james bond junior
I think the actor Alex Pettyfer, he played Alex Rider in the movie Stormbreaker, would be a better choice!!!
It’s a very bad choice to take daniel radcliffe
i think alex pettyfer would be a better choice thn daniel radcliffe too, but he’s also too old. i can’t think of anyone else to play the part.
I’ll do it.
Harry Potter ( i mean Daniel Radliffe) definitely can’t do it- he is too old! Nor can Alex Pettyfer- he is too closely associated with the Alex Rider books and films. He can’t swap between 2 very popular book/(soon to be film) series!- it will confuse thousands of kids! They need one actor doing Young Bond, one for Alex Rider and one for Artemis Fowl. Have fun casting!
I’m sorry but I would be a better young bond. A better bond movie would be his rise to joining MI6. E.G documenting his time in war zone’s.
