Simmer down there, bro. Just going for the cheap shot at Law, who cheated on Miller to begin with. I think it was the Guardian that had the rumor that he was up for it too, maybe the Independent (yes, strangely enough I like the British papers - and the BBC). But I can't say that he was ever in major contention. He'd have made a crappy Bond had he been, anyway.
And I'm in total agreement over Timothy Dalton. I think he was given the worst (personal edit: worst directed) of the two Bond films to try to salvage (another edit: the scripts needed a little polish as well, imo - the plots weren't that bad), and suffered in the backlash. Dalton was a friggin' awesome Bond.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good "cheap shot", eh?

Wow. Aren't you a fun guy. You're either a James Bond fanboy, or just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. But since you seem to want to be a dick, here is an article that says it:
(I'll bold the appropriate parts to help you)

Scores of others, including Law himself, Ewan McGregor, Colin Farrell and Orlando Bloom, were considered but rejected.

And to complete my own trifecta of owning your sorry ass this morning,
Quote:
At U.S.-based online movie ticket seller Fandango.com, fans gave Craig only a one percent shot at being 007. Englishman Jason Statham, star of "Transporter 2," topped the Fandangolist with a 33 percent chance.
Dozens of others have been mentioned as possible successors to current Bond Pierce Brosnan, including Britons Clive Owen and Jude Law, Australia's Hugh Jackman and Croatia's Goran Visnjic.

So it wasn't the facts that got in the way of a good joke, it was your lack of a sense of humor.

Whoever said anything about a good joke? You yourself said it was a "cheap shot". And those, my friend, are never cool.
