    We want the freshness, the presence and impact of a new beginning. Bond would go big.

    Bingo!

    He's got a Jensen Interceptor. Which is the same model the previous screen version of Inspector Lynley drove so I don't know if it's mentioned in the books or something. Although I think he then drove a Bristol in later series so maybe the Jensen in this one is just a nod to the old series.
    One of the continuation novelists gave Bond an Interceptor: I think it was William Boyd in Solo?

    Thanks! It might have been in Solo, yes. I don't think I've actually seen a Jensen Interceptor before, it just happened to catch my eye when watching the trailer (hard not to, obviously!).

    They are supercool, aren't they? Sort of similar to Aston's DBS / V8 and the AC Frua.

    Yes, very much so! Did an image search right now, and the Interceptor looks so much fun. Wish cars had designs like these types of cars today…

    I would understand any argument against him as Bond, but right now, Theo James would be – by far actually – my favourite choice for the role. I admit of course, that the direction we might be heading with the next Bond movie would suggest an actor with a different kind of standing or personality – in lack of a better way to put it.

    Could be a strategic diversion if he's smart, but Holland says he wants to take an acting break after Spiderman in 2027, which is probably when Bond would be filming?

    I hope he's a man of his word...

    Although, must say that the only one in that list that I can see in a Villeneuve film is Callum Turner. And I’m a big Theo James supporter.

    I understand what you're saying, but I've learned to be cautious about assuming how a director may approach a project or who they may cast in a given role.

    When it comes to Bond, casting will be driven primarily by two things, the script and what Amazon's overall plan is.

    With this in mind, prior to having these two things established, I may have a favorite candidate, someone who I think would be a great Bond; then I read the script and see the screentests. Suddenly one of my "lesser" candidates may leap out as the obvious choice and my favorite may reveal himself to be completely wrong for the role.

    The process will play itself out. I like what I'm seeing so far.
