  • Diane Lane is great in anything.

  • I still say news by May. I'm hopeful for surprises after the long wait but also somewhat resigned to more of the same. I have a theory on this and May/June will give me some indication if I'm on the right track. The news of Hodge doesn't surpr…
  • @thelivingroyale I read an interview at the time of SP's release where he was smoking along with the interviewer while it was conducted. I will try to locate it if I can. EDIT: Here it is. Interesting read. https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/fil…
  • The obvious advantage of a relative unknown is that they will be more readily associated with the character. It's certainly not necessary to cast an unknown though, if the script and film are good enough (public perceptions can be molded) as Marvel …
  • @Agent007391 true. I suppose Coogler's statements about what he was going for prior to release plays into it a bit also.
  • These Oscar people aren't very objective, that's for sure.
  • I can't say I'm too impressed with the recent suggestions by the Express. Too young imho, unless they are planning on casting for Bond's long lost daughter. https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/films/926643/James-Bond-25-Cara-Delevingne-odd…

  • I'm not really a fan of the 'Shannon as Bond villain' idea. While he's undoubtedly a great actor, to my eyes his appearance make him too obviously villainous.
  • TND vs AVTAK (both near bottom of the pile but at least overly smug Brosnan is credible as Bond while Moore, sadly on account of age, isn't). OP vs DAD (didn't even have to think about this. What should have been Sir Rog's glorious exit from the …
  • After recently viewing Red Sparrow, I'd be happy with any of the below as a chief villain. All brilliant: -Jeremy Irons (I've always thought he would make a great Blofeld) -Charlotte Rampling (made for Bond) -Ciaran Hinds (if they decided to br…

  • I hope you guys who intend to see it enjoy it as much as I did, and I hope I haven't raised expectations too high (if so, please temper them). I forgot to mention that the fantastic and charismatic Douglas Hodge is also in the film. So is Mary Louis…
