I can definitely understand perhaps they'd be looking more for higher profile actors (not A-Listers but those who have been more in films/higher profile stuff and have some level of recognition). Suter's CV is a wee bit thin if I'm honest, and I can…

Really? I guess it depends, but people can be in excellent shape in their late 30s and for many it’s their peak (and after all we’re not talking about real life but fiction. One can argue gravitas is more important than being a very specific age wit…

Maybe, maybe not. I won’t hold my breath in order to avoid a repeat of CinemaCon, haha.

Must admit, I've debated this a bit, but I unfortunately don't think I can participate in this one. I don't think there's a definitive Bond, and while I think there are preferences on this site/away from here, I don't ultimately think it's fair w…

The way I see it is this: there's such minimal effort involved in finding this theory nonsense (as said it makes little sense). But it takes an incredible suspension of disbelief and even thought to make the theory work, especially considering the f…

He's better in that trailer than anything else I've seen him in, I must admit. I'm still a bit skeptical, but what will be will be, and I'd be happy to be surprised.

I remember reading an interview with Peter Hunt where he talked about his time on those early Bond films. The interviewer says outright that TB wasn’t one of the best Bond films despite its success, and Hunt just flatly agrees and says ‘no, it wasn’…

He'll probably have shot the gun barrel by the end of the week. That's before he's even been signed. Anyway, I think he could be good. And he's not an unrealistic option. The rumour mill churns out so many different people as Bond I don't think t…

Yes, I suppose. I mean, I think this film will be a modest success overall, but a success nonetheless (if it isn’t already). I do get the sense expectations for this films were a bit raised and may not have panned out as well as some viewers thought…
