It worked for Ian Flemming; you know, the guy who wrote the James Bond stories? His first choice from the beginning was none other than (drumroll) Roger Moore.
Sean Connery was too dumb to really get how larky the whole thing is. Moore never missed a cue.
Pierce Brosnan had Ian Flemming spinning (not stirring) in his grave.
jesus - even on this site no one posting comments responds (despite the fact that it's alluded to in the article title) that this even hasn't even been announced yet...
