  • Welcome back @Tyler_Durrane Hope you got all your work sorted. In future we have a dedicated thread to announce if we're going to be away from the forum for a period of time (more than a week or two). And of course, to let members know of our…

  • Not Rosa Klebb @R1s1ngs0n , but thanks for getting the round started.
  • Thanks @thedove Named EON character with dialogue. 1. I have many questions. 2. I guess I’m satisfied. 3. I'm multi-lingual. 4. I'm good at doing as asked. 5. I have a strong attachment to an item. 6. I’m well looked after. 7. I’m seen u…
  • The auctioneer at the Sothebys auction in Octopussy?
  • I still think Aidan is in with a chance. If he was offered and if he wants it.
  • It goes to show how big Bond is though. With no film in the pipeline or any news to speak of, a story that concerns a former Bond actors new role can still get attention by being on the cover of a newspaper. James Bond, can get peoples attention c…
  • Wasn’t too sure where to put this. Just an observation I made on the cover of the Sunday Times here in Perth. Daniel Craig makes the cover, four years after leaving the role of James Bond behind, to look at his role in Queer that is a world apart f…

  • Suave, charming and ready to go. Sadly it probably won’t happen, but Bond #7 is available right now.
  • I think a fresh set of writers is required, and something of an overhaul of the behind the scenes crew. Purvis & Wade have been writing for 25 years now, I think new blood is needed. A real shake up of the character is likely based on Barbara …
  • Anymore late 2024 entries? As it stands Roger Moore had the most views with 73, followed by Sean Connery with 66 views. Close behind was Daniel Craig on 54. Pierce Brosnan and Timothy Dalton ended with 26 and 23 views and one and done Bond, Ge…
  • Despite being in his 40’s Turner is still youthful enough to play Commander James Bond in a far more believable way than some of those suggested. With a trilogy of films, he could round out his stint without aging out. Whilst Josh O’Connor is undo…

  • Aidan Turner would be a very good fit for Bond for a three film stint. They don’t have to follow a story arc, just three films starting in 2027/28 and ending around 2036/37. It’s unlikely, but it would be a safe option. If not Turner, I’d be ha…

  • All of this should be covered here… https://www.mi6community.com/discussion/12609/where-does-bond-go-after-craig#latest Thanks
  • Get Aidan Turner for a 2027 debut. Have a strict trilogy of films released over a nine year timeline. That would make him 44 on debut and 53 when he finishes. More of a believable age to be a Commander in the Navy, and still young enough to still b…
  • I’ve just been watching Rivals with Aidan Turner. I think he’s really quite good in it. Certainly has enough acting talent to be a potential Bond. He is of course nearing the cut off to play 007, but I’d say he still has time. He looks good.
