    Breaking news: Aaron Taylor Johnson on the red carpet premiere of 28 Years Later said this to a reporter: "I can't tell you anything."
    Anyone else really tired of all this waiting around and silly speculation?
    I think Aaron Taylor Johnson could be amazing, but I'd still love Theo James personally.

    I'd be pleased with ATJ. I think he's a strong candidate. Obviously there are many good actors who have a right to audition. But personally i'd rather a 'Caucasian' actor. I'd like some semblance of Fleming's character to remain. Although that kind of comment could get you labelled as 'far right' by some on here.. :))

    Let's keep that discussion to just one thread for now. I think we should all always have an open mind to the next Bond, and in this day and age, that could mean somebody less traditional. I think that's fine, and most people can agree that it's fine, and not even that likely to happen.

    Breaking News?!! The guy who looks homeless was asked, “what’s next (after 28 Days…), and he shrugged “can’t talk about it”.

    When an actor is in negotiations for any role (*any*), they won’t discuss the project because it’s not a done deal.

    This literally could be for any role that he’s talking about, and combining this non-breaking news quote that Yahoo.com is trying to make into clickbait, the fact is: the two producers have a slate of projects they’re contracted to finish and haven’t earnestly started pre-production on Bond 26; there isn’t a script and there are no writers (you’re not going to cast an actor before a script has been written, lol); there’s no director, but sure, let’s jump on this carousel for the tenth spin since 2022…

    I can’t imagine this guy will be the face of 007 for the next 10-15 years, but if he will be, there are procedures the producers will apply to pre-production. Pascal and Heyman are far too seasoned to anoint any one actor, especially before hiring writers, overseeing the development of the script, and grabbing their director.

    ATJ has a secret. I guess it's more than what Aaron Pierre has. ;)

    Relax. There will be time to get angry later.

    @DEKE_RIVERS , for the thousandth time, what are you talking about? You are the most prolific poster and yet you only make sense once for every 123 posts.

    Do you ever go outside and touch grass?

    Uhm... Yah, @DEKE_RIVERS , and I was responding to the breaking news rumour.

    Perhaps you should watch a little less of Never Say Never Again, read a book, hug a family member, and don't reply to post unless you have something to say.

    Thanks, bruh!

    I second that. Theo James looks and sounds the part. Brilliant in The Gentlemen.

    My issue with ATJ is he's a limited actor. Not a bad one, but a rather dull one. He gets such interesting roles but has made so little impact in them. With Bond you really need to have that extra sense of charisma/something special.

    But as I said, if he's picked it's his chance to prove me wrong, and I'd be happy if he did! I don't think his quote is any indication of anything to do with Bond however.

    The next Bond will make all you regret the Craig era LOL. The series is dead. Bond is dead. We are entering dark Disney Star Wars like territory. Who cares what they do? It's over.

    Not sure what this is supposed to prove. He's an actor. As in playing a different character to himself...

    About as much as Craig in his pink velvet tuxedo or Connery without his toupee I suppose ;) he's an actor after all. Not a fan, but the guy's just chilling with some dogs. Looks like he's having a great time.

    Oh, it must’ve been the pink.

    Relieved it wasn’t the voice, that average Joe vibe with a club bodyguard’s wardrobe. That would’ve been harder to ignore 🙄

    For the life of me, I'll never understand why some people think pink tuxedos are a good look.

    Yeah. I think pink is usually associated with women. It suits them more. A man's color should be mainly black, blue & white....or any color that isn't illuminating.

    Darker shades of purple I think can look elegant. But something about bright pink to me is a bit garish, on men or women.

    Pink is a gangster colour: In the graffiti art world they use it as a display of power/fearlessness. I think Pierce is wearing fuchsia, a kind of purple-pink.

    I see guys wearing pink shorts on my round. They have no style.

    Yeah he's a gangster. I only have a gripe about pink shorts lol

    I think Bond would rock a pink tie for the office

    Bingo.

    If she shays no it meansh yesh

    'You want to shlap a woman with an open palm, not a fist..."

    Anyway, I'm being facetious again. I've only skimmed through the video so I might be way off the guy's analysis, but I'm not sure I fully agree with him when he talks about the Bond not being a 'hedonist' as of late and not engaging with the culture of where he's at (I guess since the Craig films?) You get Bond switching hotels in QOS (which I think is a great joke in a Bond film I'm mixed on), him commenting on the lamb in CR, and even ordering his specific cocktail in both films. One thing I loved about SF was that we saw Bond very easily drinking with locals and doing the scorpion drinking game (it's actually one of those weird things I can't imagine any cinematic Bond doing apart from Craig without looking totally uncomfortable, and yet I can imagine Fleming's Bond, perhaps a bit tipsy, doing the same thing and really applying himself to it in the right circumstance).

    I think the next Bond film has to do a bit better than Bond simply turning his nose up at a certain kind of brandy or immediately knowing the kind of vintage of wine he's drinking. Or having been to Oxford and studied however many languages (unless it's done in a certain way that just comes off as bulls*it nowadays). It's a fine line between making an onscreen Bond look like a pretentious ars*hole and making him out to be cultured, but moreover well travelled and interesting.

    You have to be careful when people want a past they didn't experience, or didn't exist, to return to prominence.

    The 60s Bonds were a product of their time. Remaking them sixty years later to rehash sixty years ago feels illusory, indeed, in some cases, sinister.

    If people think James Bond is too posh or too old-fashioned then we have a problem.

    They can stop making movies now.
