While it has been confirmed that the next James Bond movie will indeed feature Pierce Brosnan sporting the infamous tuxedoes and state-of-the-art gadgets, there is plenty of specualtion as to who will succede Brosnan as Secret Agent 007.

Reports ranging from Brosnan's general dissatisfaction with the aging character to his high-maintenance needs and demands are some of the many reasons that producers are looking for a new hero. And word today is that Russell Crowe is their man.

I can see it now. "G'Day Mate. Me name is Bond, Jimmy Bond."
