If nothing else is great entertainment. It's far fetched but they make it look almost believable and the twists are not too Agatha Christieesque.
I havent heard a bad word said about it,and the 1st episode was interesting,so i'm looking forward to it.
I’m glad to see someone else sees the young Arnie. I have not seen The Bodyguard so I confess I can’t give him a fair evaluation, but on looks alone, including height, I don’t see him as Bond.
As time passes , Hemsworth is really becoming my front runner. As much as I’ve enjoyed Daniel’s take on the character, I’m ready for a change and a return of a Bond who’s having fun as he saves the world .
With no imagination at all I can see Hemsworth playfully flirting with Moneypenny, for love of Queen and country receiving his mission from M, with boyish enthusiasm collecting his “toys “ fin Q, then globetrotting as he meets beautiful women and combats formidable foes.
He’s at just the right amount of fame, and as far as salary demands, the opportunity to play 007 would make him flexible.
you've got to be kidding
I never joke about my work, 007.
Connery did have experience playing classical roles though--before Bond he played successfully both Macbeth and Hotspur and he acted in theater productions of plays by Eugene O'Neill and Euripides. James Bond is hardly more "realistic" than a character from Shakespeare--you need someone with enough acting talent to make him suave but believable, and that actor also has to be physically right for the part. Connery fulfilled both qualifications.
It's well worth a watch, Jed Mecurio continues to rise.
As for Dan Stevens I've liked the suggestion from the get go and looking at his intensity in the Apostle trailer as well as his performance in The Guest I'd take him over Cavill and Turner in a heartbeat.
He has that natural charisma and charm that I just don't see in either that block of wood or that TV drama actor.
Stevens made the leap from Downton quite adeptly I thought, getting out at the right time and carving himself quite an impressive career without going massive. I think depending on his situation and he doesn't look like he's going to blow up massive, more picking more interesting diverse roles than tent poles. If he sticks to that hell yeah give him a screentest.
I know some will say too close to DC in looks but if he has the chops, I don't want them just hiring a handsome clothes horse to sate those wanting the tick the box idea of Bond when there are better and more capable actors out there.
Has of course also to do a lot with other factors. SFshowed me how hard it is for me, even if I want to, to follow a director whose work doesn't resonate with me properly.
So, beside a director to my liking I would appreciate an actor who commands the screen. For that he doesn't have to be Sir Laurence Olivier, but presence and charisma are quite basic.
I do wonder if age is something that may start going against him shortly. But I don’t think it’s an issue just yet.
I’d hope EON would at least sceentest him. I’d be surprised if he isn’t already on their list.
Too old now. He's about a year younger than Craig.
He has a US accent but ignore that,he is very very English.
Norton, his old school mate (JP Watson) works in the next office, said he's cleared his decks????!!! One's leg being pulled I presume.
I think they'll surprise us again and give us an unknown. I
Watching it now,he looks good,just like the last time i watched it...definate candidate to me,and ,like Pierce,is well known on both sides of the pond.
He would be available for Bond.
Available, but won't be. He's too old.
Yes Englishman Andrew Lincoln who is leaving the Walking Dead
Villian yes, Bond no. Hardy is not a brand the Bond name can allign to. He hasn't go that 3 0r 4 quadrant appeal. Villian 100%. He'd be a great foe for a new Bond when DC hangs up his ego. That Bond film would be a must watch.
Barbara overuled Campbell for good reason on Cavill, may BB & MGW continue to reign just to keep that block of wood away from the role.
