The Guest sure is the movie to go if you want to get to know him.
Dan Stevens was also a regular on the very successful television show Downton Abbey during the first two years of that show.
After over 50'000 votes it stands as follows:
Top 3
1. Benedict Cumberbatch 8313 votes
2. Tom Hardy 7773 votes
3. Idris Elba 6245 votes
Knowing such polls get hundred of thousands of votes in Germany it will be very interesting to see how this progresses!
I can provide the link if anyone is interested, but it's all in German...
Another case (for me, anyway) of: fantastic actor, not fantastic for Bond.
Of course EoN doesn't pay any attention to those rumors (thankfully) and it won't be different this time. It will be a newcomer.
I thought this would be very much common knowledge by know?
Roger moore was only a small tv actor,
Same for Brosnan (probably even smaller)
Lazenby was a nobody.
Dalton was far from being well known or a star (still is)
Craig had a handful of movies, but mostly support roles.
Even Connery was a blank slate.
They will always go for the newcomer
Oh yes, a good actor for sure, but absolutely not for Bond.
He is with Marvel now anyways. So zero chance of becoming Bond
Of course it's just fun to see such polls, not that I would take those seriously. After all they have thrown in David Beckham as well (for fun) and he already has more votes than Eddie Redmayne or Robert Pattison for Christ's sake :))
True, i think they were even spreading that stupid rumor that Catheine zeta jones would become the next Bond, while Brosnan was still doing it... Somewhere around TWINE.
I know someone did, but i don't remember who.
Back then it was "the female" Bond, nowadays it is "the Black" Bond. Can't wait for the Asian Bond rumors to come along. That will keep The Sun and the BILD occupied for weeks
It is common knowledge to anyone who pays attention to this stuff. But there's a new Bond movie coming out, and it's an easy story any website/paper can run - "Is (currently hot actor) the new Bond?", without having to provide any sources or proof, they can just cite random rumors and/or "buzz", and it'll generate hits and comments.
Funnily enough I was watching the documentary on the DAD bluray, and there's a part where the casting department shows some newspaper clippings saying Clive Owen and Jude Law are rumored to be the new Bond. 13 years later, another Bond actor is on his fourth film and it's the same nonsense, different names.
Made you feel it, did he?
;)
This is the guy, he's perfect.
Also it seems like he is getting the Bond question more and more in interviews, and he definitly seems interested.
'More or less certain that he will quit' Dear God..even the Germans who are known for level headed practicality are reading between the lines, and incapable of understanding the point Craig was trying to make.
My advice to you Jason, is ignore the newspapers, relax and just I enjoy the new film when it comes out.
Dan Stevens is the man to go with.
I'm glad finally someone agrees with me :P
Natural appearance is the way to go. This bond comic strip looks like John Hamm. But he's American so that's out anyhow.
See, clever use of his surname there. =D> :P
I need to get out more :(
The bloody constant swearing will get Craig into deep trouble one of these days.
It seems Craig has lost quite a bit of respect in the last few days. Shame.
As long as Craig delivers another great Bond performance in SP I think the respect his fans hold for him will be more than in tact. And he still has more than a few interviews to go. By the time the film opens his image in the media should be just about where it always is before one of his Bond films open. At this exact moment it's just more of a pain for us fans to wade through till pending day.
Every same old, generic candidate, most of whom are well over 40 and will never even be considered by EON.
Wow. If this true I can't imagine Barbara Broccoli would ever consider him. Barbara Broccoli was seriously sexually assaulted in her youth, sadly. This was disclosed in an interview a few years ago but it's not widely known/mentioned on the internet.
If there is any truth about Fassbender, I think he's a total no-no for Bond. Scratch him from the list!
I've been mentioning Stevens as a possible for years on here.
Need to check out The Guest.
