  • I think casting Craig was the first time Eon consciously went out of their way to break the established Bond mould. Craig's success may mean they will be bold again.

  • So sad. He went peacefully in his sleep, which, his wife says, was his wish because dementia was taking its toll on him. Watched DN and FRWL yesterday. How superb he was as Bond - still the best. Robin and Marion and The Man Who Would be King today.

  • Denbigh wrote: » I personally can’t stand Hiddleston. I think he’d reduce 007 to someone slimy and quite unlikeable. Agreed. He's so, so wrong for Bond.
  • Ah, I stand corrected. I remember now; we used the same Dalton live action take (I'm pretty sure of that), but re-shot the optical because we needed the white dot to move into the right position so it would open and be centred on the radar plane. So…
