Karl Urban rumoured for James Bond screentest in latest net hype

The latest IGN rumour round-up throws a new name in to the ring: Karl Urban.

According to the site, Karl Urban is now said to be a serioius contender after "The Final Four".

Urban was cast in the second Jason Bourne film as an assassin. While darkly handsome, he's a bit elfish-looking for Bond according to IGN.

The Kiwi native has appeared in other genre fare, such as the LOTR trilogy, Chronicles of Riddick and the forthcoming Doom. He's the right age, is a recognizable but not yet big name, and has proven himself adept at genre fare.

Thanks to `LicenceToKill` for the alert.
