  • Very cheeky to give Craig credit for being like Fleming when Dalton did it first. I am rereading the novels and don't picture Craig. Connery /Dalton is yes. Those deep sighs Bond gives in the books after a tense situation Dalton did. Craig is …

  • bondjames wrote: » @acoppola, there was a reason they took such a risk in 2006 (reboots were all the rage opening the door to this sort of thing, they had an origin story to tell, and they seemed to be drifting without direction). Critically and f…

  • bondjames wrote: » @acoppola, yes, I know it was in the leaks. It was shocking nonetheless. He's a very good actor, and highly charismatic, but too old for the job now imho. I'd prefer Bond remain white personally. Not a racist position however &a…

  • @bondjames Me neither regarding Connery. Was a nice try though! And we will see whether he gets to do one more. Barbara may want him, but the former head of Sony Amy Pascal wanted Idris Elba in her email leaks. That means that it must have been u…
