Anthony Horowitz, whose James Bond title Trigger Mortis hits bookshelves Sept.8, has waded into the debate over whether Idris Elba should be the next actor to get a license to kill. Horowitz doesn't think so. In an interview with British tabloid The Daily Mail, the author said he thought Elba was "a bit too rough" to play the part, although he asserted that it wasn't "a color issue." He said, "I think he is probably a bit too street for Bond. Is it a question of being suave? Yeah.? Horowitz also laid into Skyfall, the last 007 film (from director Sam Mendes) and the most successful to date, which he branded his "least favorite" and the one Bond title he never liked.
