I’ve kinda gone off Lowden after watching some of Slow Horses weirdly. That’s not to say he or the show aren’t great, it’s just that I can’t quite picture him as Bond (or at least as the best option). I don’t know what it is specifically (perhaps th…

Yeah, Turner’s growing on me a lot as well. Definitely a plausible choice.

Yeah, Keoghan won’t get the role (I think he’d be too busy/a touch too famous for it). But he’s actually not a bad choice per say, just a very unusual one. He’s the right age, and he’s a solid actor. He’s actually a good looking guy when not play…

I will say ATJ’s doing well for himself, regardless of whether I think he’s right for Bond or not. May even be a case where career-wise it wouldn’t make much sense for him to audition even if offered the role. Still not fully convinced by him, bu…

Malek’s weird nowhere European accent is quite funny, I have to admit. But then again his character’s name is Lucifer Safin so perhaps you can argue it comes with an element of silliness anyway. I mean, had Malek leaned into that a bit more perha…

Honestly, I’d say something like Following or Tenet are the best options for a remake. Following’s got a high concept premise and as a film is a great slice of late 90s London/low budget filmmaking, but I can easily see such a story about that type …

Yeah, it’s all very common for biopics. Stuff like references and big name actors in cameos popping up every so often. I’m in the same boat really - I don’t think it’s a film I’ll revisit soon. I didn’t mind it though and would say it’s one of No…

Part of me thinks if May ever makes an appearance in a film it’ll be through dialogue only. Kinda surprised this wasn't done in the Craig era during SF or SP - I dunno, someone mentioning Bond’s housekeeper kept his flat in SF, or she let Moneypenn…

I think (although don’t quote me) an early draft toyed with the idea of Bond getting captured and brainwashed to kill M. So effectively it would have been about him proving himself to MI6. I’m glad they went in the direction they did though. They…
-
Well, presumably he’s had missions offscreen… it’s not just his third. And like I said, Bond’s older age compared to the first two is there. But he’s basically in his early 40s (maybe). It’s not NSNA or NTTD territory.

I'd be surprised if the next Bond was more a theatre actor. No doubt theatre experience is good, and many actors have it, but Bond is primarily a screen role, and I think as a performer knowing how to convey those nuances for screen is important, co…
-
Perhaps. But in fairness I'd argue his age isn't really what Bond struggles with in that film. It's certainly not the reason for his problems. At the beginning of the film he's arguably at his physical peak before getting shot. Again, he's not a 'ro…

Difficult to say. Cubby wasn't beyond turning down strong/specific candidates. I don't think he much liked Sam Neil even if he was quite popular with the rest of the team.

I suppose until auditions are underway there’s not really a crop or choice as such (and we certainly won’t know of them until later), just all the male actors of a very broad age range/physical description. I’d say there’s probably just as many soli…

Oh yeah, there’s a lot there. I suppose much like what we got during the Craig era and those Fleming novels, Bond in the next film will be a character who lives in a world where he knows that the enemy/the way they operate are different now, that…
