I will say, the way it was done was probably the best case scenario. I'm not sure if YOLT would have aged as well had Connery been put in Mickey Rooney-esque yellow face make-up.

Both were very close in the last ranking I did for these forums for what it's worth. But they're actually both similar films in terms of style/theme in many ways. Ie. there's a tinge of exoticism/supernaturalism to the villain's plot in both, Bond i…

Yeah, likely the extent of it will be a public congratulations when inevitably asked about the new actor. There’s really no reason for Craig to be anything other than positive about it, nor for him to be any further involved.

I don't see why Craig of all people would have anything to do with the next Bond films. From a simple career point of view, he's a famous and acclaimed actor - the most so in post Bond terms since Sean Connery in fact - who can now basically do proj…

Yeah, weird article. I don't think the writer understands the character or the films despite sprouting off very generalised facts here and there (I don't actually mind if people have criticisms of Bond, but they do have to show they understand the c…

Veering away from the topic a bit, but I think whatever way the next actor is going to get some sort of internet (perhaps even public) criticism about something superficial to do with their personal life that’ll clash with Bond in some way. I mea…

I don’t suspect it’s a deal breaker, unless he develops a really bad reputation in terms of behaviour that makes it known he’s difficult to work with, or publicly becomes known as a drug addict. This doesn’t seem to be the case at the moment. I mean…

I’m sure Craig’s got better things to do honestly. And I suspect BB would more readily take into account what the Casting Director, the director, and the rest of the producing team have to say about contenders. Perhaps on an informal basis he mig…

But he didn’t criticise anything about traditional heroism in that interview. He just talked about German guilt around the war, how that compares/is different to American and British movies, and wanting to show this. I don’t get the sense he was loo…

I mean, SP is the most lighthearted Bond film of the Craig era and it’s by no means its most successful. I’d even argue it veers too light at times. Then again it really depends. I don’t think there’s an appetite to have a completely lighthearted…

Shouldn’t the title be ‘least gentlemanly moment’? Or ‘most ungentlemanly moment?’ Anyway, for me it’s the Solitare moment in LALD. Very weird scene.

Kelly Marcel would be a bit of an odd choice considering she’s only directed one film, but I like her as a writer (yes, even with 50 Shades, the first film of which has its share of competent storytelling).
-
I don’t think Bond’s death in NTTD will make any difference to Bond 26, but I agree, I don’t think it should be referenced either. Generally the goal for every new Bond is to make the audience forget about the previous one - to make them truly se…

I like Mescal. Actually a really solid actor who has a lot of presence and can play older than he is. I don’t think he’s necessarily the most likely option for Bond, but I’d understand any hype around him (more than ATJ to be honest).

Can’t say how reliable World of Reel is one way or the other. I know Berger was mentioned as being on some sort of list ages ago (again, can’t say how reliable that was). He’s got a couple of thrillers coming out this year/in the future which may…
