I suspect at this point there’s many potential actors, and a lot will be tv/indie types rather than more established ones. A fair few might even be more left field to give them options. They’ll bring in some of the more unknown/untested candidates t…

I think it’s incredibly difficult, if not impossible, having a Bond film that doesn’t touch on anything in our real world and make some sort of point about it. Yes, these films are about escapism and spectacle. But they’re not pure fantasy, they’re …

If it’s him, hats off to the guy. But I think there’s a very big list and his name is one of many. Statistically (and frankly from what I’ve seen of him) I’ll say it’s unlikely to be him. But you never know. mtm wrote: » 007HallY wrote: » …

Maybe I need to watch some of his films. I’m just not seeing it… a sort of budget Steven Seagal/Bobby Cannavale mix. Honestly though, if he had the charisma and swagger in his roles I’d say audition him at this stage… it’s tricky gauging him just…
-
Might just be me, but I really don't see much Bond in this guy. Is it a 90s thing? Maybe I just don’t have that connection to his films… Again, looks like Bobby Cannavale’s brother to me. Pretty generic looking American tv star look (he’s British th…
-
Yes, he wouldn’t have even been a potential Goldfinger. Great actor though. Very similar to Orson Welles as ‘what if’ EON Bond villains (both played Le Chiffre and I guess were on more downward parts of their careers by Bond). .
-
It’s weird - he looks his most aged in DAF and yet I’d argue he has the best toupee in it. The one he wears in NSNA is pretty bad to be honest.
-
I always think Adrian Paul looks like Bobby Cannavale rather than Bond or Sean Connery. To be honest I can’t say if I’ve ever seen him in anything nor do I know how much of a potential he was. Anyway, an actor’s the full package, and what they look …
-
The casting process will be a whole thing, for sure. They'll have some sort of list of potential actors (which can plausibly be up to 200 actors). Then there's contacting them/their agents. They'll likely get most of them to read a bit from a previo…

I mean, ultimately whether it’s Bond, Batman, Sherlock Holmes, or indeed Hercules, or any other character you can argue has a fundamental core to their character that’ll always shine through, a writer has to tell the best story possible with that ch…

I’ve discussed it before, but generally Bond tends to have obstacles - personal and professional - rather than outright ‘changes’ within each adventure. Even if he has a crisis of confidence, is physically injured, and temporarily decides to go off…

Maybe this is controversial, but I think it’s a bit condescending dismissing the early Bond girls simply as beauty queens and models (and arguably in its own way sexist, even if I can understand the point trying to be made!) They all had more film e…

I suppose all this shows just how important picking a strong lead/personality for the next Bond will be. A weak lead has an impact on the film.
