Maybe not a missed opportunity as he simply wasn't available (arguably they could have delayed the film which of course would have had a knock on effect, most likely in terms of Moore returning) but I think not having someone like George MacDonald F…

Ironically MGW is slightly incorrect - Bond has a naval background, not an SAS one (as I said I think it's a subtle but telling aspect of his character, even if he's presumably done some sort of training under them, and I hope it's something they do…

I think it goes without saying we’ll get a younger Bond than the last. Craig was after all pushing 50 by NTTD, and it was consciously about an older Bond. That said, I’m not sure if I want a ‘young’ Bond as such. I mean this in the sense that I d…

-
We’ll never know the actors who are the ‘missed opportunities’. Nor does it matter either. In some ways I think it misses the point of how a Bond actor is cast. It’s not a case where any of them were born to play the part or ‘the chosen ones’ (natur…

I think with a Charlotte Rampling or a Faye Dunaway we would have potentially gotten a much colder version of Octopussy. Adam's version of the character seems to genuinely care about the girls on her island while still projecting that sense of tough…

O’Connell’s one I’ve noticed crops up again and again here. He’s very high on my favourites. And regarding his height I’d put it like this… Is he a good age for the part? Yes, definitely. Even if the next film were not released until 3 years from…

I don't know, I'm not sure what's gained by making Octopussy the villain in this particular film. If anything I find it more interesting that she's a morally ambiguous jewel smuggler who, while competent and relatively powerful, is essentially being…
