On the "Don't it just Suck?" news front, Hugh Jackman of X-Men, Van Helsing fame has apparently passed on playing 007 in the next three upcoming installments of the franchise.
This decision comes in the wake after asking his wife Deborah Lee-Furness about the gig and apparently she felt that he didn't need the role to boost his already high profile career.
I'm betting it had more to do with all the babes he would get to hang out with as the Secret Agent more than any career move. I have a distinct feeling this is going to be a decision that's going to come back and haunt him sometime down the road.
Here's the link where I found the info, but I reported what all was there anyway: http://www.superherohype.Com/news/x-mennews.php?id=3402
Well, the most likely candidate has bowed out and from last reports there were three others in the running and probably more by now. The last ones I heard were: Clive Owen, Eric Bana and Jude Law. Neither of those would be a worthy successor to continue on in the shoes that Pierce Brosnan left vacant, IMHO.
The next film will be a remake of Casino Royale.
