I'm not gonna lie, that's one I haven't actually watched, haha! I'll definitely get round to it now though.

Oh, that's a Jo Nesbo adaptation (he's a Scandinavian writer who wrote The Snowman if anyone's seen the film version with Michael Fassbender. A masterpiece of editing/filmmaking...) Never read that particular book, but from what I've read of him …

I'd have personally rather had Connery for all three. Lazenby as Bond for more than one film wouldn't have proven good for the franchise I suspect. Hunt being hired would seemingly have happened with or without Connery anyway, and thus many of the m…

I think a lot of it has to do with filmmaking and creative decisions. It’s true, Madeline’s much more icy in SP and the plot’s much more pressing, so they can’t quite lean into it as much as they do with NTTD (where we do get stuff like the soft foc…

I think usually with Bond the ‘romances’ are sexual/a bit tongue in cheek at that, so you rarely need that sense of raw sexual chemistry. I don’t, for instance, get anything particularly ‘steamy’ from Bond and Patricia in TB (and it’s not really mea…

I’m not sure how separate storytelling and characterisation are in practice. Not that either are well defined in this instance. You don’t have good storytelling you can’t convey a character’s conflicts or even who they are just fundamentally. You do…

I think what it comes down to is just trying to find the right person. EON have said they’re open to considering non-white actors (they’ve seemingly been cautiously open to it in the past. I remember reading they weighed up the hypothetical scenario…

Think it’s my number 5. It’s just a classic, one of those Bond films you come back to. Connery’s at his best, the rest of the cast are spot on, and it even improves on the source material. The barn and Kentucky scenes are the only main issues I h…

I think for a cinematic James Bond set in the 21st Century a non-white British actor could play the part and do so convincingly as a version of the character we know. Just depends on the actor in question.

Yeah, I think all it comes down to fundamentally is getting an actor they find interesting and has the gravitas/potential to play the role. They'll want someone with plenty of charisma and screen presence after Craig, but I don't think they'll go in…

Yeah, I think it's very unlikely that a young actor with predominately theatre experience will get anywhere near Bond. The fact is it's a film role. Part of the gravitas needed for the role is essentially screen presence. It's not something that alw…

I suspect Craig was always a bit more keyed into the production for Bond and is a bit more straightforward speaking than Brosnan. So Craig it is.
