According to Clevver movies, it's been reported that famous physicist, Stephen Hawking, wants to play a James Bond villain. He claims the fact that he's in a wheelchair, has a robot voice, and he's a genius would make him the perfect choice to be a Bond villain someday. What are your thoughts on this?
Would you want Stephen Hawking to play a villain in a 007 film? Or do you think that would be in bad taste?
Anyway, here's a link to the video if you guys want to check it out for yourselves.

It would be kind of creepy to hear Stephen Hawking spouting Goldfinger-esque bad-guy dialog like "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" in that computerized voice, that's for sure.
Apparently Christoph Waltz already has the villain role locked up for the upcoming Bond movie "Spectre" which is due next year, so maybe Stephen just wants to get his bid in early for the villain role in the next one.
Oh I know about Waltz being a lock for the next film, as I think he's perfect. I mean he played a great villain in "Inglourious Basterds", so I can't wait to see what he does in "Spectre." As for Hawking, I think your right that he's probably just lobbying for the next Bond film after that. Whether or not the movie studio will want him is another story. I personally think it would be kind of creepy for all the reasons you stated, BUT that's also why I think he'd be perfect for a Bond villain.
Although I'm usually not a fan of movies that show disabled people in a bad light, but if Stephen Hawking wants to do it, then I say let him do it. Besides, he's already been through so much in his life, while giving so much to science in general, that he deserves to pursue whatever interests he wants. You can do it Hawking! Besides, the man is a freaking genius, so I can definitely see him as the deranged mad scientist type.
Hawking would be a great Bond villain. If he is interested in doing it, I say they should go for it and be creative in developing a role that does him justice.
I read that Stephen Hawking has a wicked sense of humor. As he requested to be a villain, I think that would be terrific. Disabled people should be able to play parts like anyone else.

He could have a disabled white cat as well.

I suppose it was an inevitable reaction to Stephen Hawking’s new Book ‘The Grand Design’ where he concluded that There is no place for God in theories on the creation of the Universe.To me, it is equally inevitable that the media would immediately zero in on this concluding fact rather than...

"I was born on January 8, 1942, exactly three hundred years after the death of Galileo. I estimate, however, that about two hundred thousand other babies were also born that day. I don't know whether any of them was later interested in astronomy." -- Stephen Hawking

I don't normally get involved in political debates, but had to wade into this one. Some foolish American magazine has made the following comment:"The controlling of medical costs in countries such as Britain through rationing, and the health consequences thereof, are legendary. The stories of...

"The Big Bang was the result of the inevitable laws of physics and did not need God to spark the creation of the Universe."What say you?

God didn't create the universe -- it was actually a result of the inevitable laws of physics, British physicist Prof Stephen Hawking has concluded.In his latest book, The Grand Design, Hawking said: "Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing....
