    I wouldn't compare Craig to Tom Cruise honestly. Cruise is a bona fide movie star of the first order. One of the all time greats, who is in probably his last decade of being an action hero (something which he is also very well known for over multiple decades).

    Daniel Craig is a first and foremost a film/theatre actor. One who happens to be the current James Bond (an unusual and atypical role for him).

    They're really catering to different markets.

    The difference between Cruise and Craig:

    1. DC spent most of his life smoking. 2. DC likes beer. A lot.

    The problem is each of their faces ages according to their lifestyles. I absolutely believe that DC can have the physique needed for Bond for quite some time, but his face is not aging well. Especially compared to Cruise.

    Spot on!

    Cruise had face lifts as had most of that generation. Knowing DCs face, I can tell, he didn't. Not that I am against it, if it looks good afterwards. But don't suggest, a Cruise or whoever looks good just because. Not true. But DC being the freak he is, peobably won't go that route.

    I don't know if Tom had a face lift,don't care, but he is very fit and always keen to do action films like Mi and other films.

    Daniel doesn't seem to be interested in doing Bond films anymore ,he prefers doing plays and films that are less physically demanding.

    Yes, agreed. Plus doing the job and stay relevant is Cruise very reason of living......

    Yes i agree, Tom loves making movies.

    But Daniel can pick and choose what he does now whether he does plays or movies because he is wealthy from making the bond films.

    It sounded like making Spectre was an awful experience for him.

    That's why i don't think he will be bond again.
    12 + years is enough for him to be known as James Bond. 2005 - 2017 ?
    That beats Sir Rog's record 1973 -1985.

    Really ? Haven't read that.

    I just remember the Infamous "Slash my Wrists" comment he made which seemed like he had a tough shoot making Spectre.

    Which was a sarcastic joke on his part. If you see the interview he says that, He's clearly chuckling as he's saying it.

    A lot of people believe he was serious about it.

    It was a stupid thing to say and will never be forgotten by a lot of fans.

    But he's only human and everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure he regrets saying it.

    Spectre wasn't the happiest hour of my Bond movie watching experience. :)

    A lot of fans on this site ,including me, think that he was part of the decision making process on Spectre, but in the interview he says he wasn't.
    Sam took it away from him to let him concentrate on his acting.

    I think his acting in Spectre was the worst of any of the Bond films he's made.
    Casino Royale being the best of course.

    That's purely subjective, of course.

    Ironically the character is supposed to be at his most confident and assured of any of Craig's four films, yet its decisively Craig's least confident performance of the lot.

    The nonsense coming out of your mouth gets worse and that means something. He was indeed very assured and confident in Sp. Talking bs won't bring Turner the role, try to remember that.

    And here's to wonder if this year is going to be another desert, devoid of any solid information regarding the future of our next film. I wonder if this Rhythm Section with Blake Lively will affect development on 'Bond 25'.

    If Cubby was alive they would making a Bond film this year. He was a legend.

    Do you think Cubby would have cast DC as bond ?

    I don't think making a Bond film then and now can be compared - at all.

    I don't think he would have; he would have gone with a more traditionally handsome actor.

    Me neither. Not saying they couldn't be more consistent, but it's certainly not the same. It's hard for them to maintain appeal in what is a unsustainably overcrowded marketplace.

    I don't understand the 'Would Cubby have cast DC?' question. The implication is that it was a bad idea, when it was clearly the opposite.

    I believe Brosnan would have definitely continued in the role for a couple of years. Pierce was his guy. So no, I don't think so.

    Bad idea? Not at all, just a different vision of the character..

    Definitely.

    Back then, there were no franchise competitions and Bond was a solid survivor. People may argue that Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films and some other one-time or two-timers made shedload of money and whatnot, but none of them had been stable and ongoing film franchises until Marvel Cinematic Universe was given life with the extreme success of The Avengers (2012). The rest (DCEU) followed that trend.

    Now, we've got dozens of franchises churning out materials that have been existing over millions of publications for each issue for over 75 years, all backed by major corporations like Walt Disney and Warner Bros.

    Bond is nowhere near like that, and a box office failure will result them in loss of money and therefore public interest. Bond is a family business and isn't backed by major corporations so with this IP, the producers have to play it careful. There are certain limits they can't pass and there are certain standards they have to stick to. So, no. I don't think either Michael or Barbara will be going out of their heads to do something stupid that might cost them the franchise. It's all about strategy.

    The James Bond film series can't compete regularly with the likes of MCU, DCEU, Star Wars and other blockbuster franchises stabilized by major monster corporations that are drowning the movie market since the 2010s. Danjaq don't have these sort of resources nor the budget to release a movie every year without taking precautions. They've got to play it right and hit the right spot. I can't blame Babs or Mike for not giving us Bond films more often than they used to. It's a whole lot of different market now.

    No implication intended. Maybe Cubby would have cast DC ? But i don't think so personally.

    Babs doesn't have the same clout as Cubby did, and being a woman in Hollywood and co doesn't help because they are a sexist bunch i think.

    They make Spiderman reboots every few years.
    Batman movie every 2 years.
    Even the Fast and Furious films are made every 2 years or so.

    Why can't they make Bond films every 2-3 years again ?

    He favoured Tim Dalton over the Broz.

    That's because he was committed to a TV Series and he didn't want a Bond actor to be related to a TV Series.

    Barbara has plenty of clout in Hollywood. They can make a film every two years, the question is how that slots into an already overcrowded marketplace. Cubby operated in a very different era.

    Exactly - he favoured the Daltonator.

    More like he had to, given an unfavourable option (TV Series contract) in the cards.

    I think a 3 year schedule is ideal in this day and age. Back in the 70's and 80's there were fewer options of entertainment. Videogames weren't around much (or in their infancy), there was no internet etc. Nowadays there are so many options, so many franchises and other media to enjoy that I think people in general are less inclined to watch Bond films at the cinema every two years. 3 years is the right amount, IMO.

    I agree, three years is about right.
