Oh now I know who he is now... sort of.
No no no ....please no no no nada no
Lol ...btw nice avatar. I now have the Ghostbuster theme in my head.
Thanks. :P
Elba, great actor, race less and less a factor, but too old
Hiddleston, good actor, but not macho in person (comes off fey in interviews)
Hugh Jackman, too old
Worthington, Cahill; dumb as lumber in interviews. Doing Bond is 50% promotion.
Damon Lewis; too old, too homely
Hardy, great actor, beyond doing Bond no matter what he says
Fassbinder; great actor, perfect looks, but serious personal issues will kill any chance that Babs would ever hire him.
If Craig doesn't return, and Bond 25 opens in 2017, I'd put my money on Hunnam. He's bigger, and more conventionally handsome than Craig when he cleans himself up, and his career has a similar trajectory to Craig's, but then objectively, his resemblance may kill off his chances.
British TV spy series about Mi5, called SPOOKS, don't know how many series he was in, but pretty sure he wasn't in the recent film.
Direct quote from a recent article.
“It feels like I’m campaigning, and I’m not. At first it was harmless — oh, I know, wouldn’t it be great? — and now it’s started off racial debates. I’m probably the most famous Bond actor in the world, and I’ve not even played the role.”
Sort of glad he will never be Bond. Let's get off this now and not worry about the next Bond till we know for sure that DC has left the role - so after Bond 25.
Yes, I can understand he's fed up with it (aren't we all), and you can't be a 'Bond actor' if you haven't had the role, perhaps he meant 'actor talked about for the role', doesn't trip of the tongue so well though! There is too much media BS about, an unfortunate sign of the times.
Born: March 21, 1974 in Oxford, England, UK - 41 years old probably going to be too old now.
he has a bit of Dalton intensity thing about him.
Elba is so 'Mr Big'.
Ha...he looks a bit TOO much like Dalton. He would probably play him if they made a biopic of his life!
Although I actually prefer an actor in his 40s.
Agree ..plus 40 is the new 30 :)
That's just something older people say lol.
[-X ...be nice to your elders. :D
This is true because society is generally different now. By that I mean that people in their 30's are less mature than the generation before (grow up slower), because there are more choices in life. So the mature Connerys and Lazenbys at 30 don't really exist....People just look and act younger now....generally.
Quite true. People mature later. Or may be they stay younger longer...
Hopefully the next Bond will be as under the radar as Craig was when he was cast and will surprise audiences by being a great Bond.
If you have seen the film, Stonewall, Jeremy Irvine gives a career ending performance there. The film was a pile of garbage, granted, but man was he horrible.
Him, along with Jamie Dornan (who gives a similarly terrible performance in 50 Shades)...what ever little chance they might have had...I might recommend saying your goodbyes now.
Also, there is no way EON is going to double the risk of recasting by hiring someone who could be will be into their 50s before their 4-5 films are up. They are not going to be able to go back to having stunt doubles do all the stunt work. The audience will expect the next Bond to be credible in the action scenes. They need someone younger to deal with doing most of their own stunt work, and also to appeal to an ever younger audience. I'd bet the next Bond is going be young (30s) or even younger (late 20s)and all the actors in their 40s the press keeps yammering about haven't a chance.
Yup. Look for little known British actors with strong screen presence and decent athleticism that are about 26-28 years of age right now, the next Bond will be amoungst them somewhere...
Too fey. Can't see him in the role at all.
