Same here, next month I believe it airs, The Suspect.
He has the moves down :))
Nope
Ha, as if I was serious. Come on man. Turner was a ballroom dancer in a previous life and very talented from what I've read.
Yep I agree on that. Turner is probably my favourite to be Bond #7 right now but I can understand the fatigue around it.
I think by the time they come to recast, he might be too old for the direction EON are looking to go in
For you, apparently. I've seen him throughout his career in a variety of films and shows...never saw it. He "applied" to portray Batman, btw, when C Bale got the role. But Nolan and others liked him and placed him as a villain.
Peaky Blinders has me convinced.
Way too soft looking, feminine even. Big nope.
But, I wouldn't have said he'd have made a good Birmingham gangster either. And he was superb in Peaky, (on of the few TV shows I've watched in recent years).
I have to agree. Some of the suggested candidates are terrific actors. However their height should be a factor in the casting process.
She did say she'd still 'do him' though.
I'm only reporting what she said.
The actor that charmed the women the most was the guy that played Aberama Gold. I don't know his name, but the staff there thought he was lovely. He must have a Moore-like personality, if you know what I mean.
Haha thats brilliant.
As is this
Aiden Gillen - indeed - portrayed a character on GOT who ultimately was a VERY bad guy, and very charming at it. He was in one of those newly-done Robin Hood movies, too.
There is zero idea who the next Bond will be at the moment, but my own personal belief is that Mr. Page will be a very long shot.
I think the creatives are really trying to figure out who James Bond is in the present day. This is a lot more difficult than saying “go back to Fleming”…. They have to define his relevancy. Then design a script based upon this concept that’s also commercial and exciting, that will bring in new fans, keep the older fans content, and usher in a new 007.
A lot of spinning plates, but once they sort out a reason for James Bond to exist in the mid 2020s, and have a script in place that supports his relevancy, the true potential actors will surface…
I've just watched this too. No way is he suitable for Bond. My wife has just said that Chris Evans would make a better Bond than him.
One thing I really do NOT want is endless justification of how Bond is relevant, in the very film he is IN. Every film from Skyfall onwards suffered from this. From individual lines to whole plot points, where Bond's relevance in-film was mirrored by the desperation to prove to audiences why Bond is still relevant today. I just want Bond to be in his prime and for them to bloody well get on with it. Make a great film and that will be enough to prove Bond films are still worth making, without talking about it in the script.
Agreed - if you make a fun secret agent movie with several superb set-pieces, plenty of fans still will beat a path to your door. The MI films are fine examples, as well as the fact that D Craig's Bond films made TONS of dinero...
Also, THIS. Eff the whole relevancy bs. Sick of it. Period Bond please, stat.
Cheers for your insight mate, you always manage to put it in perspective. It's hard not to get wrapped up in it all sometimes, such a big decision this time round.
@Scaramanga1974 that's it mate, I watched it with my Mrs as well. He's alright but not Bond in my book. He's got very little presence and he's not intimidating, which is what half of Bond is. When he got angry I was laughing if anything, perhaps that was the intention? Either way I'd be extremely disappointed if he were cast
