I mean, it makes sense that ATJ would have a meeting or a dinner with the producers. He’s literally had his name thrown around for the last month about this role. Even if this meeting was just to break the ice and say ‘we’ve not made any decisions y…

I think another big reason why most of us tend to imagine a Bond actor when reading the novels (apart from the fact that most of us watched the films beforehand) is because it’s near impossible for the human mind to imagine/come up with a face they …

I do wish we'd have had Orson Welles as a villain in his prime. The way his career eventually went I don't think it was ever going to happen by the 60s in an official Bond film. Dirk Bogarde sounds like a strange choice, but probably in the context …

Elordi looks more like Superman to me than Bond, although this is on a very superficial level. I know he can have an edge when needed having seen Euphoria. That said I don't think he'll be our man ultimately.

I will say that while I don't particularly like Bond's death as a creative decision (nor the way it was done in practice) they did at least commit to it and tried to do it in a way that felt emotionally satisfying for that particular story as well a…

If they'd decided to have Vesper feature in Bond's mind before his death, I suspect they would have used old footage from CR or rendered a weird CGI version of Green rather than getting her back for a single shot. I can see why they didn't. I think …

Hoult is probably a bit too famous, but even that's only within the precedent of other Bond actors as opposed to something that will outright disqualify him. There's clearly something to him as an actor though. As others have noted he was in the …

The fight scene in the dancer's room in TMWTGG is pretty underrated in my opinion. Whenever I watched the film as a kid the moment where Rog grabs one of the goon's head and just starts smashing it against the wall always gave me a weirdly visceral …

To be entirely fair to Moore I don't think he was in quite as good health as the other Bond actors, even in his prime. I know he used to suffer a lot from kidney stones and had a number of childhood illnesses, so that might explain his general lack …

But did Craig even turn up to the audition with a Craig-esque body type? Like I said he bulked up for the role, and I might be wrong but I remember reading an interview where he said he wasn’t in the best shape before doing so. I don’t know if what …
