We’ll see what it’s like for the next actor, but I think nowadays between the tabloids and people on the internet in general it’s never easy for someone taking on a part like Bond. Just looking at the last few years/other franchises, Robert Pattinso…

I wouldn’t call Cavill wooden, but he’s a limited actor. I do think he has natural charisma though, agreed. Just not strong acting instincts. I view him similarly to ATJ in that way (although he’s a more boring actor with less charisma).

Safest choice is probably the better term. Out of the options they had anyway. Again, there’s risks to any creative decision, but I can’t think of any candidate with less baggage/downsides. Often the best man for the job is the safest option. I d…

They had about 200 names at one point apparently. As for Craig, I believe that while he was a favourite of at least BB (I think she legitimately looks for actors even when there’s an incumbent Bond and seemed to notice Craig as early as 2001) it’…

I'd say he's appreciated by a lot of fans. Maybe a lot of us here could be kinder to him, perhaps including me (he was Bond for a long time after all, and many grew up with him as the character). But I think it's also somewhat unfair to compare the …

I remember an interview with Debbie McWilliams (the Bond casting director) a year or two ago in which she gave a bit of an insight into what they look for in Bond candidates. The word she used was 'gravitas'. Interestingly no mention of look or what…

In that case I look forward to seeing the Bond 7 audition tapes 20 years from now where the 2020s actors have mullets and middle partings.
-
The issue with Cavill I find is that he’s got the ‘look’ I guess (although to me he looks more like Action Man/Superman than what I’d say Bond is fundamentally) but between seeing him audition here and in films like UNCLE and Argyle, it always feels…
-
I think there’s some potential in all of these auditions. It’s less a case of finding which actor puts in the most polished performance but what natural qualities they’ll bring to Bond. It’s then a case of the producers deciding whether that approac…
-
Yeah, it seems like they slowly wrote out the 20 something year old Bond aspect to CR. Personally I think they made the right choice going with Craig and depicting Bond as a seasoned professional rather than going younger or ‘Bond begins’. It adds l…

Nice find! I think these are early ones (from what I understand they’ll have over a hundred or two of those auditions from various actors early into the process. It’s mainly to give an idea of what they’d do with the role. After that they whittle it…

The amount of day counting and arbitrary doom deadlines from this page is incredible today! It’s ok guys, just relax. For obvious reasons there will be a delay, but none of us know 100% what we’re taking about when it comes to predicting Bond’s futu…

I can’t find any reference to such a contractual obligation. I don’t know for sure but unless EON don’t deliver after the film has been commissioned/scheduled (short of anything beyond their control) I’m not sure if such a lawsuit could happen in th…

Bond's had a funny history at times in his cinematic form, but overall I think they've done a great job at depicting his vices along with his virtues, especially in recent years. His womanising, gambling, love of cars, and drink are on one level all…

Finally watched Queer (and for the record I can't say I'm a fan of Luca Guadagnino's films, or even a huge fan of this one). I refuse to believe that Daniel Craig didn't deserve an Oscar nomination.
