Well prepare to be unhappy. ;) I'm going with Sam Mendes on this. He said "next James Bond will not be who you expect". I think the next Bond won't be any of your suggestions. It will be a new guy, someone relatively unknown.
Period Piece ? I know that will fire up some people ;)
Well, since you asked about just "looking"... I'd say no, yes, no.
Agreed. Hardy is wonderful, but rather villain than Bond, and yes, Nolan casts well.
Okay... though I can't say I agree, I've never thought "mindblowing" about him, though I've always liked him, and have seen all those movies (Southpaw did nothing for me, the other two are very good) and many others he has done. He's good, but...
It surprises me anyone liked anybody or anything in This Means War. I don't know if I've seen Pine in anything else, so I can't comment on him beyond that movie. And I wouldn't make any judgments on any actor's acting based on roles in McG's movies, I just feel sorry for them that they ever accepted the job in the first place.
An interesting analysis. A lot of that I can agree with.
I wouldn't think Hardy is "known for playing villains" - I have no idea if that is the case, but it certainly isn't how I'd view him at all. I'll need to re-watch Inception. Again. Very fond of him both as actor and person, but I wouldn't want him as Bond.
Of the 3 Fassbender roles you recommended I've only seen Inglourious Basterds, but I've seen him in many other movies and can easily imagine him as Bond. I haven't yet been able to decide what I think of him as a person, but that's secondary in this context anyway.
I intend to watch The Night Manager. I'm barely familiar with the actor (as actor - or person, for that matter).
He does? Why?
Like I said my views are just that mine I do hope Craig returns and I do hope i like the next score but if I had to cast it would only be one of those three.
Agreed. It's a pap title. People only like it because it's Fleming.
Trivia. Brosnan is the only Bond to date not star in a film with a Fleming title.
Lazenby is the only Bond to star in only a Fleming title. I guess if you consider CR67 then Niven too. And oh yeah the first CR with Nelson.
Connery and Moore started in the most with only their last appearance not in a Fleming titled film.
Huh ?
Ok a few things
1. Moore most definitely only has Fleming titles A View to a kill is from the compendium of for your eyes only just because they dropped the from doesn't magically turn it into an original title (if bond 25 was Property of a lady instead of the property of a lady would it be an original title no of course not)
2. If we count official series yes Connery also only had Fleming titles.... Sigh then he had to do an unofficial one
3. Brosnan had two Fleming titles Goldeneye and The World is not Enough both came from Fleming
4. Dalton also only had Fleming titles
On the topic of titles due to my insomnia I noticed a strange pattern in the bond films really since dalton's tenure if we include the rumored title of his third movie the property of a lady.
Each actor (Dalton Brosnan and Craig) had a specific pattern for titles with the latter two first film being in line with the previous actors pattern.
That sounds confusing but let me explain
Dalton's pattern had 1991's the property of a lady happened
His pattern was odd films based on short story titles where even titles were based on fleming's work
1987 the living daylights (short story)
1989 licence to kill (phrase from casino Royale the novel)
1991 The property of a lady (short story)
Brosnan's pattern is also fairly obvious. Odd films stepped in Fleming even films original titles
1995 goldeneye (Fleming's home)
1997 tomorrow never dies
1999 the world is not enough (Fleming title from on her Majesties secret service)
2002 die another day ( original title though I preferred the much rumored beyond the ice but meh)
Craig's pattern is location of climax for the odd films and of course organization frame for the even films
2006 Casino Royale
2008 Quantum of solace
2012 Skyfall
2015 Spectre
So since the pattern doesn't break even when a new actor comes in I would be shocked if bond 25,s title isn't based on the location of the climax.
31-year old British actor Theo James confirmed as the new Bond

*Finlay Light was confirmed as the next James Bond in 1986. The Daily Mail ran the story. It turned out the newspaper didn't get it 100 percent correct. ;))
1. Who the hell is that
2. There are no distrubter a director other cast or script
3. Febuary 2017 filming in September good god the editior would kill anyone who decided on that
4. He looks ok
I couldn't sleep but I was referring to actual titles of novels or short stories. AVTAK not counting since they dropped the "From".
It was just insomniac ramblings.
Perhaps if I have the time and energy I will create posters for Dalton Brosnan and Craig based on this theory
(For Dalton it would be The Property of a lady and Death Leaves an Echo
Brosnan All the time in the world
Craig The garden of death)
Me too
=)) ...funny.
Seems someone is in a hurry
