I'm pretty certain that Eon have him earmarked. Women love him, he just needs to win over male audiences. Which I'm sure his recent film projects could do....
The thing Page has going for him is that he reminds me of a cross between Colin Salmon and Denzel Washington. In respect to the latter, he would have been a terrific Bond in the 1990's. Wasn't there even a rumour that he was considered for Goldeneye? I think if Craig bought a Steve McQueen-swagger to 007, then Page could bring the charisma and heroic charm of Denzel Washington to Bond. That would be a helluva feat if he could pull it off. Personally, I think he could do it. We have seen him play a Byron/Bronte-esque character. However, we need to see more of him.
Meanwhile, Denzel could of been Bond. Even if his English accent in Queen and Country was horrendous.
And he really needs to not do the 'adjusting the cuffs' pose; there's nothing more affected in my book.
Yes, I think you're probably right. I don't think it will be constant but that question will be asked a few times.
Anyway, this guy is available ;) Why wouldn't they want this guy?
Aiden Turner, no.
If Sam Claflin is the bottom photo, okay - he has potential for me. I need to see more of him. Anybody have any clips?
I fully concur, no to Aiden Turner.
It's quite difficult to not get depressed regarding Bond in this day and age. Let's go back to the swinging 60s please.
I just googled British actors and saw this guy he looks good
Yes he's popped up in lots of things, I think I remember him in Dr Who. I wouldn't have put him down for Bond especially.
Yes I agree, it's really not worth feeding them.
wow
Come on, thinking outside the box, not trying to hire someone who looks like Connery or Moore, is the very thing that allowed the franchise to work in the last 15 years. Few people in 2005 would have regarded Craig as a contender, yet he turned out to be one of the best actors to play Bond. He was definitely not what people had in mind when they were thinking of Bond, the tall silhouette, the classical beauty, the elegance, yet, starting with the PTS from Casino Royale, he was riveting and he redefined what we could expect from the character.
Most of our picks here are for people who seem in line with what Bond has been in all his previous characterizations. The right pick for the part will be someone who can bring something special to the character.
I'm still struck by what Ms Broccoli said about seeing Craig walk down a corridor in the film Elizabeth: that that swagger and presence caught her eye immediately. And I think it's someone who presents that similar big screen confidence we'd have to be looking out for, but I haven't spotted them yet, it's true.
Wow indeed, how condescending and a misplaced sense of superiority.
Well, Fleming was a snob...
And yet he was also so very keen to get Bond adapted to the screen I doubt he'd have actually objected to anyone :D He let Bond be an American after all! :)
At least we can take comfort in the fact that tey have done it before and struck gold. I am very intrigued to see what they'll do. I suppose this will prove whether Babs was lucky in choosing Craig, or whether she really has a sixth sense when it comes to spotting a suitable Bond actor.
Elizabeth? I thought it was Layer Cake.
She says it was Elizabeth in the Being James Bond doco, although I’m sure Layer Cake did confirm it for them.
Aren't both denbigh and (especially) mtm one of the least liked members on here? He(?) clashes with other members and even mods on nearly every page. If it were up to me I'd permban him into oblivion. Better to ignore them however, saves your cortisol levels.
Yep, I thought that was disgusting too. I’m not going to get baited into an argument about it no matter how much they try, nor do I feel I have to defend myself for finding it repulsive.
You certainly don't come across as very likeable yourself...
It was indeed. Although Ms Broccoli had seen it in him from other roles, I must admit that without Layer Cake I don’t think I’d have been as confident beforehand (although there was a WW2 drama he did on Channel 4 which I hadn’t seen previously and that’s a good Bond audition- was it an Evelyn Waugh adaptation? Arkangel too, but by that time he pretty much was Bond anyway)
In a way I wonder if Layer Cake was actually a moment where they got worried: if they’d seen Bond potential in him before that they may have been concerned that Layer Cake revealed it to everyone else and he’d get snapped up as a star of other big action thrillers before they could nab him. Did they ditch Brosnan while it was still in production in 2004 to make sure they could get Craig in time maybe?
How is it stupid if I am merely stating the obvious, most people think it I just say it, not afraid to state the obvious. P2D seems to be trolling with all his extremely feminine looking propositions to be play Bond. The guy is almost begging for criticism. Bond is a complete 180 from his "vision", let alone the idiotic ideas Bond should become black or female. I am sick and tired, like many people on here, of you lot with your constant virtue signalling. Bond is a literary character, straight, white, alpha and a symbol for hundreds of millions likeminded men around the world. Masculinity. Oh what a dirty word nowadays, let's slide the word toxic in front of it. Much better!
Posts like for example p2d makes all the time are pure bait and yes I will bite after a while. Others like yourselves mock others (myself incl) for their propositions all the time. The irony. At the end of the day it's all fun and games, but your hypocritical virtue signalling is what makes it toxic.
No offence to most of these actors suggested but they look too pretty/glossy, one of my favourite things about Daniel's interpretation is that he is more rugged. Which in my mind works for the character than looking like a model
I’ve always said that as well. Jackman was a missed opportunity.
