    @MSL49 you have been asked numerous times not to double post.
    Also asking when someone was born is clearly spam. You can easily look up the birthdate of Jack Lowden.

    I watched American Horror Story Season 8 recently and I was blown away by Cody Fern perfomance as The Antichrist. The character was incredibly complex. He was charming, aristocratic and mysterious. I was absolutely fascinated, only to see in the next chapters his troubled past, as a abused foster kid, which he played masterfully.

    He was shown as scared, depressed and vulnerable. That wasnt shallow. All that range came from within. Honestly I dont see any other actor with such wide range and depth a mile away

    Another point most "experts" forget: A major breakthrough movie needs a relatively unknown cast. Otherwise, you wont see the characters but the actors. Can you imagine Gladiator played by Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt? No, and why? Because you would be non stop comparing it with his previous roles. Thats why when you watch Gladiator you only see Gladiator

    I see a lot of people here talking about Henry Cavill. Although I like his work, and he was great as Superman and The Witcher, he has too much baggage already, and Cavill has a fraction of the range of Fern. Henry Cavill would be at his very best the second coming of Pierce Brosnan

    The 007 Franchise is down not because they dropped a bomb on James Bond. The moment they put a small frail comedian as the Ultimate Villain Boss, a cheap copycat from Bastard Inglorious to money trap the masses I knew James Bond was done. James Bond was never about the masses! That was so horrible that made Skyfall looks good

    We need to bring back Casino Royale. Possibly the team as well, at least partially. Casino Royale was Perfection. Quantum of Solace was good. Skyfall could have been great if wasnt for that unnecessary Queer of a Villain with that fake hair and mommy issues. And that deformed face cliche was terrible (OFC they had to repeat that in Spectre). But Hans Landa was my personal "The Sum of All Fears". That was my worst Nightmare. And I knew they would do it

    In the lowest moment of my life, when I lost literally everything and I mean everything, I watched Casino Royale and that was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. The scene when he got his Aston Martin I promised to myself "I will fight to the end of my forces to be like him". Thats how much James Bond means to me.

    The 007 Franchise is dead not because last movie Bond got Nuked. The moment they put a small frail popular comedian as the Ultimate Villain Boss, cheap a copycat from Bastard Inglorious to money trap the masses I knew James Bond was done. James Bond was never for the masses, That was so horrible that made Skyfal looks good

    We need to bring back Casino Royale formula. Possibly the team as well, at least partially. Casino Royale was Perfect. Quantum Solace was ok. Skyfall could have been the best if not that unnecessary Queer of a Villain with cheap fake hair and mommy issues. And that deformed face cliche was terrible (OFC they had to repeat that in Spectre). But Hans Landa was my personal "The Sum of All Fears". That was my worst Nightmare. And I knew they would do it

The Moment he got his Aston Martin I promised to myself "I will fight to the end of my forces to be like him". What Im trying to say is this Franchise is very very dear to me

    James Bond needs to be built from Ground Up. Only a totally new face and team with massive talent will do the job
