He looks embarrassed to be on camera.
So does Brad Pitt, and yet the camera eats him up, in the best sense. But I get what you mean.
Can you want a fleming title i would like that
I’ve seen him in a few things. I like him, though the things I’ve seen him in have given him fairly light roles.
Unless something totally different is meant by that term.
Nothing to see here, folks.
Yeah I’d need to see him in something a bit meatier before I’m more convinced. Basically I need to see them all have their own Rebel Ridge!
I doubt the three names listed by Variety are the only actors in contention (if it has credibility, and if Chalamet was being considered, Variety might have mentioned him too I think), and I have no doubt at least one of them will be taken out of consideration, and yet more people will be added and subtracted from the list, by the time they get a script ready and begin casting.
If the two men talked about Bond business (Bloom and Bezos) who knows what could possibly happen?
Personally, as of now, I have no actors as the the next Bond in my mind, just blurry, whatever will be, will be, Que Sera Sera.....As they say, it's hard to pick, I'm not expert in picking who's the best one for the role.
That scenario reminded me when a drunk John Taylor from Duran Duran approached Cubby Broccoli to make the theme song for 'A View To A Kill' and then we have it.
Chalamet is not British and they said they wanted British.
Not to mention he's skinny. He was cast as Paul Atreides partially because he looked the part. Bond is obviously a completely different character.
There's no alpha male vibe to him but he probably looks dapper enough in a dinner suit and maybe he looks tough enough holding a Walther.
I don't expect the next Bond actor to look alpha male (which is a bit of a cliché cringy term) but it's accurate when describing James Bond. Bond is an alpha male in looks and confidence and social skills. Tom Holland may have the acting ability to be confident on screen but you can't look alpha male if you're not blessed with that facial structure. That's just how it is, life isn't fair, so if we accept the next Bond actor won't look alpha male (and I never thought Craig looked alpha male, more like a Bond villain but he was accepted in the role)... then I can see someone like Harris Dickinson getting the role.
Elordi looks too tall and lanky and why cast an Australian over all the potential British actors out there? It happened with Lazenby but he did have a certain arrogant swagger which I doubt Elordi has.
Yes, he is the least famous of the three but he makes the headline.
Exactly.
Wishful thinking, of course. Oh, look, a unicorn! :D
Looking thru these again. Okay, he reminds me of Corey Mylchreest, whom I do like okay. So I'm giving Jacob Elordi a "maybe."
As far as I can see it’s just another ‘James Bond cannot work for a modern audience’ piece, foretelling doom for the franchise. I think they’ve been saying that since the Sixties. The basic fantasy of a guy going out into the world and having adventures has worked since ancient times, there’s really no reason it can’t work now that I can see, provided it’s done well. Brad Pitt’s new film is doing well, and that’s about a guy making a living driving in circles; just make it exciting and it has a good chance of selling.
Jacob Elordi has a Brosnan-esque look. Just a natural leading man with the square jaw and angst to book.
