Agreed, I always got the sense Craig’s glibness (and to some even arrogance, if you can call it that) was translated through the character of Bond in his interpretation. Part of that may have been consciously in the writing but much of it is Craig c…

Yes, I don’t quite get it either. Like, surely if you dislike it it makes more sense calling it NTTD rather than Bond 25. By calling it the latter you’re basically admitting it’s still an official Bond film/that’s how you see it rather than somethin…

I mean, the initial impression I get is that if they wanted a more serious, brooding Bond, then Turner naturally might be a consideration amongst others. But they’ve never really approached casting Bond with that solely in mind, even with slightly d…

I think if they’re looking for a Bond different to Craig’s Bond simply in terms of style, then I’m not sure Turner’s the guy. His strengths seem to be in his intensity as an actor, similar to Dalton in a sense, albeit more subtle (and honestly, I do…

Indeed. With ATJ to star as the Bond girl.

Turner’s got sharp features and is good looking in a classical sort of way. So yeah, it’s a plus for him I guess… That said I actually remember when Craig was cast and seeing his photo in the news. I think they used a rather unflattering headshot…

I might be missing something. I presume whatever this guy is going to reveal (whoever he is - never heard of him personally) is, for all we know, just a general movie/Hollywood scoop and hasn’t been specifically said to be about Bond? So I presum…
-
Well, they’ve lost the plot unless he’s not available to audition, or outright turns down the role, or if they’re prioritising specific types of actor (certain ages etc), or simply if they don’t want him because they don’t think he’d be the right fi…

I actually think the promo shot is quite cool, especially considering it's supposedly a candid set photograph. MakeshiftPython wrote: » Fire_and_Ice_Returns wrote: » A remnider of how awesome Cavill's Superman reveal was as a comparison... …

My weapon of choice would be a gun cane personally. But in this case I'll go with the bowler hat. Have never had to wear braces but I guess the steel teeth would be a much more cumbersome version of those, which doesn't appeal to me.

Yeah, I think the casting will create a good amount of buzz. Even off these forums I noticed the reaction to the ATJ rumours got a lot of people interested.
-
I suspect the name of the actual actor will be brought up more closer to the time regardless (this was the case with Craig). Not sure whether it’ll be leaked or anything like that one way or the other.

Well, for what it's worth I'm not entirely sure whether those things were finalised when they were reported on in those outlets (especially Craig's casting, and I'm pretty sure inconsistencies between what he's said/the tabloid rumours about him get…

I suspect we overcomplicate it actually. The Bond films have always kept themselves modern/relevant in some form. It comes with the nature of making these films contemporary, and indeed drawing on contemporary ideas for each new story. The 18-25 …

Brandauer’s performance is a weird one in NSNA. I’ve seen many people here praise it, but honestly, I think he’s one of the worst things about the film! It’s not a bad or even un-memorable performance as such (the latter being what Von Sydow’s Blofe…
