Favourite James Bond Films: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible and any upcoming action films starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good because he'll need it to expand his reputation as an actor, especially in the action realm)
Favourite Films: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Harry Potter, Middle-Earth, The Matrix, Mission: Impossible

If Mel played Bond, would he take it serious like Tim did?

I think he would have played it a little lighter than Dalton but not quite as light as Brosnan.

Do you Mel was too famous to play the role in TLD?

He was quite famous already through Mad Max so he might have been too big already. I think Cubby probably ruled him out for his fee as much as anything.

Not sure Cubby Brocoli needed or wanted to appoint a big star as Bond. Whoever becomes Bond instantly becomes a star and has the world's media spotlight on him. Like it or not Daniel Craig is now a household name. All Cubby Brocoli wanted was the right man as Bond, which is why he appointed Dalton & Brosnan.
Cubby Brocoli also gave Moore, Dalton & Brosnan three movie deals. Not sure Gibson would have committed to that.
Saw Lethal 4 the other night, Danny Glover towers over Gibson. Similar to Craig, they may have got Gibson to bulk up to compensate for his lack of height. Not a pretty thought.
