Can you guess who can be the next James Bond?

Well, if reports are to be believed, the ‘Harry Potter’ star Daniel Radcliffe and ‘Billy Elliot’ actor Jamie Bell could be introducing themself as “Bond, James Bond”. Both are competing to play James Bond in a forthcoming movie about his teenage years.

Since Pierce Brosnan announced his departure from the bond franchise, a string of actors have been rumoured to be the next spy, without being successful. But this time rumours are rife that Radcliffe, 16, and Jamie Bell, 19, are the hot new candidates for the role.

The two little stars have been lined up to star in Young James Bond thriller ‘Silverfin’, which is an adaptation of the young adult novel by Charlie Higson, and features a 14-year-old Bond, a plucky Eton student in the 1930’s.

A source says: “With it being so popular around the world, the book is certain to make the big screen. It has all the hallmarks of a hit. Murder, mystery, action and a young James Bond. Daniel Radcliffe would be perfect but they are also looking at Jamie Bell. They want to make the young Bond a bit older so they can have one of those two names.”

The film is currently undergoing a script rewrite.
