  • The truth is, that short list that Variety put out, is appalling. Holland, Dickinson and Elordi are not Bond material. And I was one of the ones that saw DC as Bond immediately when they announced it, just by an interview he did alongside Nicole Kid…

  • Metro, Daily Mail, The Sun, Daily Express, The News International, and several other outlets are running with this headline: "Callum Turner 'tipped' to take the role". Probably the same bu** as ever. Although I'd be happy with the choice of the 3…

  • We don’t know the half of it. Can any of us say with confidence that, say, two years ago we could’ve predicted all that has happened since? We are not in the know. We are but spectators, and the curtain isn’t even up yet.

  • I like him as an actor very much, both as a stage actor and a tv actor. But he is no Bond.

  • I adore Surrender. That being said, I do like the three songs mentioned. But Surrender just sends shivers down my spine. Driving to it is bliss.

  • Sure, I guess both of you are right. One option is not antithetical of the other. But M_Balje did take the time to look, so one does respect that, immensely.
  • Cruise must reunite with the big boys again. Make a Scorsese film, a Fincher one, a Paul Thomas Anderson one, something like that. One in which he does not run!
  • Damn, I was hoping they'd go for Gone in Sixty Seconds 2 first. But I do like the first NT.
  • That's amazing, @M_Balje, you're far more prone to seeing these patterns than most of us, and that's incredible of you, well done, my friend. And I agree, DV's subconscious must've been very much influenced by these films he saw on repeat. Direct in…

  • Doesn’t Ralph Fiennes have a very young nephew who actually looks a bit like Bond should? Have no idea of who he is. But isn’t his name “Hero Fiennes” or something ironic like that? Edit: Found the guy: Good eyebrows. Have no idea if he’s …
