  • 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 …

  • I do wonder how much the next actor will lean into that sense physicality, or even if they’ll prepare in quite the same way Craig did. I mean, a part of the publicity for Craig’s early films was the fact that he got bulked up and had a handful of sc…
  • I'm honestly fine with P&W staying. Not an opinion I always had but one I've come to over time. One has to remember that scriptwriters on these sorts of films are subject to the demands of directors and producers. DAD, nonsense as it is, has som…

  • Not a fan of Cavill in general, much less his version of Superman, but it does seem a bit of a mess getting him back only to have the new heads tell him he's out. I suppose it makes sense - they want to reinvent the franchise without the bad tast…
  • Oh, didn't realise he wasn't actually Superman anymore. Yes, I think he'll get some rumours about this in that case. His agent needs to keep his name in the press after all... Have we had a proper Harry Styles rumour yet? Seems overdue if not.
  • Perhaps instead of predicting who will actually be cast as the next James Bond we can instead try and predict who will be the next actor to be rumoured for the part? None of whom will get the role, of course. Kit Harrington perhaps?

  • I’m really enjoying the split opinions on this, haha! To be fair it is genuinely interesting in terms of how we culturally see James Bond and how the next actor will fit into this. For what it’s worth I don’t think our hero’s appearance is as fix…

  • Anyone have any picks for a female villain/henchwoman? I know it's been discussed a bit in the Bond actor thread but it's probably worth bringing up a few names here too. Only reason I'm posting is because after watching Titane recently I can ima…

  • Yes, must admit I did think of SF too after reading that. I think it'll be interesting not only seeing how much action is in Bond 26 but what kind of action. One of the issues I have with the last two Craig films is that it didn't always feel lik…

  • To Moore’s credit, he was a very human Bond, arguably more so than Connery and even Craig at times. I can’t imagine Connery, for example, giving the same genuinely hurt expression when Anya references Tracy in TSWLM. Moore certainly brought that ext…

  • I'm not a fan of 60fps personally nor do I think it adds anything. That said it's interesting to think about. I mean, the only reason why films use 24fps is because of a long process starting from the silent film era where filmmakers assumed it look…
