  • It's crazy that after 60 years, there's still so much buzz around bond and the next films. Die hard will forever be tied Bruce Willis, Indy to Harrison Ford, Jason Bourne to Matt Damon, MI to Tom Cruise, etc. Bond is one of the only few brands that …

  • Does anyone else think Dalton Aston has the potential to become the new DB5? Seeing that again in Bond 25 got a massive reaction from fans, and even though the DB5 got overplayed in recent years, bond still needs some kind of signature vehicle which…
  • Because I don't count Casino Royale 67 or Never Say Never Again as "official", since they weren't produced by EON productions. If you include them, maybe it's bond 27?

  • It's still crazy to me that the time from Casino Royale 2006 to Bond 25 is the same as Dr No to The Spy Who Loved Me.

  • The true arch villain of certain prolific procrastinators at EON headquarters.

  • Henry cavil is uninspired, ATJ is just a solid choice. I think he could prove himself to be a brilliant bond, and he certainly has more of the enigmatic quality of brosnan than Craig did. If these rumours persist, EON might find themselves in a simi…

  • People love comparing any actor they aren't keen on to Clive Owen, it's always a blast. :))
  • "ATJ hasn't really stood out to me in the past" surely that's the best place to be for a potential actor. You want bond to make the actor, so the public forever associates them together. The last thing you want is people saying "oh yeah, that guy."
  • Even if the Sun article is 100% made up and just for "clicks", that still doesn't mean he won't eventually be who EON choose.

  • Yes, the pieces are all there. EON's unexplained silence from 2021 - 2023, Villeneuve suddenly having a secret project which has to happen quickly (why would it be a secret if it was an original concept of his and not some kind of franchise) ATJ spo…

  • I've honestly never really thought about ATJ for Bond much before this, but he does cover alot of bases. Young, fit, handsome, good actor, a lot of charisma and screen presence. I think Criags casting might have trained some of us to be on the look …

  • Even if ATJ doesn't end up becoming bond at least we have a clearer idea of how far they are from production getting underway. Auditioning actors means there is a script of some kind floating around. I think there could be more updates coming before…

  • Firstly, we haven't seen a foot of film with him as bond yet, probably best to withhold judgement too harshly one way or another. I see where you're coming from, but there's a lot of WORSE choices out there too, and there's nothing worse than an …
