Maybe something else to consider about Bond's vices is that the character is usually the underdog. I mean, we're used to the typical Bond vs henchman fight in which Bond is in some way at a disadvantage physically (we see it in his fights with Od…

EON need a director who can handle character drama, but I think the next director also needs to be adaptable and competent at balancing different tones and even genres. I'm personally of the opinion that it'd be beneficial if they had experience in …

I personally find Villeneuve's films technically competent, beautiful to look at, but for some reason downright boring to experience (with the exception of Prisoners which I'm a big fan of). I'm just not sure he's got the right flair for a Bond film…

I don't think Bond was meant to come off as sophisticated in the first chapter of that book either though. He's a man who's just killed (something he obviously feels conflicted about), could have died, and wants to block the whole thing out by going…

Maibaum's adaptations of the source material are pretty good, especially when it came to changing aspect of the story. I'd go as far as to say GF and even FRWL are arguably better than the novels.

I suspect they'll go for someone as young as mid-20s or as old as someone in their early 40s if they find the right candidate. It really depends.

There's definitely something to that in terms of Bond's appeal. I said this on these forums a while back, but James Bond is a very distinct character from the likes of Jack Reacher or many other American action heroes such as Jason Bourne. The latte…

I think it's up to the reader whether they think the series is a genuine precursor to Fleming's novels or just Bond in another timeline. Personally, I never got the sense that the character from the Young Bond series would have grown up into Fleming…
