I think the sole reason Argylle hasn't done well is the horrendous trailers they've put out. I mean, making a spy movie with Cavill as a sort of Bond but then with his hair like that just screams 'far-worse-than-CR'69-Bond_parody', and maybe the CR69 reference isn't known to everybody, the effect is the same. There's no story (in the trailer), there's stupid CGI, etc.
Cavill did well in 'The Witcher', which made him popular. And MI:fallout.
Personally I think Vaugn is the sole reason Argylle bombed, but I'm biased against anything that's in the style of Kingsman.
I don't understand how one go from Layer Cake to things like that. But then again, I never understood how the director of 'once were worriors' could make something like DAD.
Guy Richie on the other hand does believe that Cavill has potential, and certainly is still proud of The Man From Uncle, see here:
That one I DO want to see. And for those who claim Cavill can't act, I disagree. Like Brosnan, he's just better when they let him loosen up a bit.
Again my gut says he is our guy and i am Not an ATJ supporter again i saw him in two films and i don’t remember him in either i mean i saw godzilla I remember ken wantanabe I remember brian cranston uhm I remember godzilla heck i remember Elizabeth olsen don’t remember ATJ….
He just has a look that Babs would go for
No auditions, no frontrunner.
It's that simple. It doesn't matter whether ATJ is a favoured candidate or not with EON at this point. It's all about auditions
Mr T didn’t audition for BA baracus in the a-team
That doesnt apply here but its still pretty crazy to think about
So your saying Mr T would make a better Bond then Mr ATJ
Yeah i can see that
The man can rock a tux so maybe he is our man.
Sadly you’re in the minority who cling to the past too much.
Daniel Craig, proved through CR (remember the boycott :)) ) and then another 4 films that he was the right man to carry the series forward.
We just have to wait and see who the next actor will be.
Also, please don’t multi post. Instead please use the edit post function if you wish to add something new.
Many thanks, and nice to have you here.
Things quiet over on that other forum? ;)
Welcome back BJ, old buddy... :-h
So far
Cringe alert 🚨
Or did ATJ forget to call them back?
Well, he did sign his 'fan photo'
OR
*Nothing happens at all.* Taking a guess that seems the most likely scenario.
I'm fairly sure you can find bad photos of any actor out there if you look for it. Craig had a few shockers too.
I'm sure there are, I haven't ever seen any truly bad ones of Timothy Dalton from memory.
And it would be near impossible to find one of Roger Moore surely.
;)
Dalton was too cool for school. Even in his early days he looked cool.
As for Moore, well...
Not bad for a 52 year old. Actually better looking than 32 year old backstreet boy ATJ.
Oh dear. I can see you having a few issues if ATJ is chosen. Like the craignotbond movement that started in 2005, you can helps steer the new movement too.
Look, there is even a website to help kickstart it - https://www.aarontaylorjohnsonisnotbond.com/
Please provide a film which proves beyond reasonable doubt "both actors are incredibly popular." I can't find one example. Cavill has had no hit films (be they moderate or big success) when not playing Superman (and Superman, the character itself, was the overwhelming reason people went to see Man of Steel, it wasn't due to Cavill) and Idris Elba has never had a hit film (be it moderate or big success).
Argylle has lost Apple around 400 million dollars, maybe more, and Cavill was marketed as the main attraction in the trailers, he's center stage on the poster. He's standing in the middle as if Apple want you to believe he's the main star:
He was doing press junkets and he never said or hinted "well, I'm only in a few scenes, Sam Rockwell is the main star."
And I'm repeating myself but it's a fact, go check out his resume on Box Office Mojo, Idris Elba as a leading actor, has never had a moderate to high box office successful film.
Both actors are depreciable assets. Their market value has dropped so there's far less reason for Eon to consider or agree to any high salary they want. Bond is a very long commitment. Given the snail pace of recent Bond films we could get three or four year gaps between Bond 26, 27, 28 etc. That's close to or more than a decade so an established actor will want a large sum of money to commit to the franchise. And it's Bond, arguably the most prestigious acting role in the United Kingdom so actors are going to expect to be paid very well. If you ask anyone "what's the most famous film character in UK film history?" most people will probably say Bond or Harry Potter. Potter may appeal to gen z people.
It's not my trolling to say both actors are not popular. It's a fact based on a decade or so of box office results.
I accept studios do cast actors with bad box office records. Colin Farrell bombed in Miami Vice and Alexander. Despite those films failing to find an audience, for some inexplicable reason he was cast as the leading man in Total Recall (remake). That film also flopped. Yes, Hollywood can reward box office failure actors with more highly paid roles and that's unfair. In Hollywood you can fail up but it doesn't last throughout your entire career. Colin Farrell is no longer making Total Recall high budget films with him as the main star. Hollywood won't cast him in those roles anymore.
Henry Cavill may have one more chance to have a hit if Highlander remake happens but based on his past box office record it's doubtful it will be a hit. Doubtful not impossible. And at the end of the day it's the film goers that have to support Cavill and Elba and Farrell and Chris Pine etc. Just posting " they're incredibly popular" (Cavill and Elba) when the box office stats clearly prove beyond reasonable doubt they're not incredibly popular, is a very misguided comment. If enough people go see Cavill and Elba in some of their films they're popular but they don't go see them! Uncle/Argylle/Dark Tower etc prove that.
That’s a funny site. 😂 But who is the princess?
No idea. Princess Kate Middleton maybe? She had allegedly gone missing for a few days until she was photographed shopping recently.
I wasn't a fan of Craig as Bond and that's still the same. ATJ is one of the worst candidates, so obviously I'm against it. Not sure about you, but I am in fact a true fanatic of Bond, especially the Connery classics. No silly website will do anything about that.
