I really do hope this next film kick starts the series for future outings. Only 2 films this past decade was ridiculous. Makes me fear we may just get one in the 2020's.
No I haven’t. But I will now, thanks.
Wow! Thanks for posting that. i will definitely be watching this soon.
He also has a bit of Sean Connery about him.
...and enjoy 'And Then There Were None', it's very good :)
At 32, Madden looks like a young midshipman.
At 32, Connery looked like an experienced Royal Navy commander working for the British Secret Service, armed, dangerous and licenced to kill.
You can blame the times and the longer life expectancy, but to me nowadays Bond should be no younger than 40 or 37 at the very least. But honestly, in every pic I see of Madden I can safely say David Niven's Sir James Bond (or his character from The Sea Wolves) could beat the crap out of him and end up on a desk job with a purple eye.
Just my two cents.
Well said, sir. Well said.
Exactly! I think a lot of the names being tossed around, even though they're in their early 30's look more suitable for a cheesy '90's boy band rather than Bond.
Now he knows he's got no chance he backtracks and says he doesn't want a role that will define his career.
I can see DC doing fine once he's finished with Bond because unlike Brosnan I don't see DC going after the action man type roles that Pierce seems to get attached to.
Craig will no doubt merge back into being a character again. I could see Knives Out developing into a franchise as Johnson is looking at making him a modern day Poirot but I don't see Dan going after Bond like roles once he's finished with the character.
I think if you never had much range before then yes the typecast shroud would hang over you but DC had already built up quite a rich body of work before getting the role, no other Bond has had that breadth of work prior to getting the role.
It's getting old now. When it comes to Bond, Idris Elba is today's Julian McMahon.
Casual movie goers and fans probably still think it's a done deal that he's taking over from Craig.
I wasn't all that "in the know" around the time but I did love Nip/Tuck and knew his name was tossed around at times - was he as bad as Elba about playing the next Bond? That's a shame, I quite liked him, though not sure how well he would've done as Bond. Career really disappeared for him for the most part after that series.
Social media was not as developed as now, but he sure was seeking a lot of attention for his bid as Bond. Don't think he ever was seriously considered. Either way he didn't help himself.
It's such a crime that Charles Dance has never been in bond film. Great actor imo.
FYEO.
Very early role there for him.
What the hell... How exactly did he not get to play the major role is beyond me. Is it really him?
Just movie goers. What I understand for "a Bond fan" will never take that for granted.
Yeah I saw still hard to believe. I read somewhere that Gerard Butler was in tomorrow Never Dies as well
That would be great! Could see him play a Mr. White type of character as well.
He should have!
