Well they'd be wrong.
Yeah I thought they were a lot of fun, and it's a pretty reasonable angle on Holmes to go all out on the action hero version of him. There are loads of adaptations already so I enjoyed seeing a new take.
I don't think there's any guarantee that just because another studio gets it it will automatically be terrible. Mission Impossible and Jason Bourne weren't run by people related to each other but they both produced fantastic movies.
I haven't heard the reasoning behind thinking that Eon would sell any time soon but I find it fairly hard to buy: Broccoli has only just turned 60: she has plenty of years left in her yet.

Ah right, I see. No matter. I disagree anyhow, no matter his age.......he’s little and American.
Well that’s not a fact. I disagree.
Move on.
You can disagree, but you’d be wrong. And I also don’t think that calling anyone ‘beyond reason’ just because you disagree with them fits with being ‘polite and respectful’.
I think you'd have to be very ballsy to do that. I'm not sure there are many actors, or their agents(!), who would turn down guaranteed work in the hope of another job possibly coming up. Do you mean turning down another high profile role like Batman or something?
He can be as charming and light as Moore and as physical and intense as Craig; not many actors can pull that off.
It's a good question; one that doesn't necessarily have a straight answer. I don't know how long there generally is between a Bond screen test and the actor actually getting the part, but assuming it was at least three to six months, it would likely not be reflected in any announced projects. As @mtm alluded to, actors still have to make a living and they're not likely to turn down guaranteed gigs for that length of time - and I'm sure EON, being the professionals they are, would understand that.
Ah cool. Well it's tricky to say: I guess Craig did sign up for Golden Compass while he was still Bond and that theoretically should have been a trilogy, so I guess they're willing to work around scheduling just as long as it isn't, as you say, a role of comparable prestige.
Might have been great for sure, but certainly too late now?
He's a great Wolverine, so I guess the question would be, would we have wanted Jackman as Bond and not Wolverine?
I don't care as much about the X-Men franchise, but he was great there for sure. Especially in Logan. Would have lost that had he been Bond.
Yep, hard to disagree with: he'd have been great, he's an excellent lead actor and star. But then I guess we only really found that out because he became Wolverine, and that role might have been enough to put Eon off him: I get the feeling they don't seem to like to share their lead actor with other big, iconic movie roles.
But funnily enough, considering they're in the same superhero series, I think they would have accepted Fassbender had the timing been right. I guess his Magneto was just never quite as impactful.
Ford as Indiana Jones, Han Solo, Jack Ryan.
Jackman as James Bond, Wolverine, no problem. ;)
I think one of the things that would be a problem for Eon would be risk of injury. The more stunts an actor has to perform, the greater the chance that he/she might be put out-of-commission for a while. Daniel Craig didn't have to do much at all in The Golden Compass. I wonder whether there are restrictions on the type of role a Bond-lead can take? I'd say it would be likely, but then Cowboys and Aliens was pretty physical, with presumably some risk in there, so perhaps not.
And Van Helsing, don't forget. What a role :)
His Cowboys vs Aliens 😉
Or that Craig would have so much time between Bond films to be available.
I thought do too. And the receptionist in QOS too, at the Port au Prince hotel.
On a side note, I started watching McMafia and while I'm finding it entertaining I can't say I see Norton as Bond potential. For Bond girls and villains, however, there's a lot of interesting actors there.
Oh yes I forgot about that one. Such a shame they didn't do more: I really liked the style of that and it suited him really well.
It's an interesting thought. There may well be something like that in their contract, yeah, who knows.
But then again, we know that DC didn't even have a 'no moustache' clause in their Superman contract with Cavill, so maybe not! :D
Fair enough, but it's obviously a problem for EON. A one off here and there is fine, but two franchises is one too many.
I wonder what EON’s restrictions, or
“ suggestions “ are for theirs leads when it comes to other franchises?
I would think that as long as it isn’t a spy film they’re ok with it.What if The Golden Compass ., Cowboys vs Aliens or the Spider series had taken off?
