Truth of the matter is, we don't entirely know under what circumstances Boyle made his pitch to Eon. I'm guessing that perhaps Craig bumped into Boyle at some social gathering whereby Danny told him of his idea and, to his great surprise, was encour…

I agree entirely with both @Birdleson's and @Getafix's assessments of Boyle's talents. Put it this way, I'm far more excited about Danny Boyle's involvement in B25 than I was at the prospect of having shaky-cam Yann Demange at the helm. The likel…

That's a reasonable question to ask @bondjames. I'm willing to take a stab at Boyle's longtime collaborator John Hodge being the main man that's pulling it all together, so I highly doubt that Boyle working on All You Need Is Love this summer will d…

I agree with @RC7. I don't see Nolan making anymore than one simple, standalone Bond picture for Eon, if he does indeed sign up for the next Bond caper. Back to Danny Boyle. Is anyone curious as to what Boyle and Hodge's idea might entail? It's m…

Thanks @peter. I think you've proposed an interesting idea for a new thread there.
-
Cheers @bondjames. We're most definitely on the same page. I'm not sure how accurate the reporting was but I seem to recall there were once rumours about Eon wanting to shoot both Bond 24 & 25 back-to-back, until Craig dismissed the very noti…

I don't know his age @Ludovico. I'm guessing very early thirties. bondjames wrote: » I agree with the continued issue of casting too old. In my view Craig was too old to be cast as a rookie. He was already showing unfortunate signs of aging by …

Looks nothing like Tom Cruise.

Okay, I don't know whether anyone has mentioned this Turner bloke as a possible candidate? And by that, I don't mean Aidan... I mean Jack Turner. I'll admit that I haven't honestly seen him in anything, so I don't know whether he fills my own testos…

I have to say, out of all the choices given here, I'd have to go for Pemberton. As much as I love Ramin Djawadi, I think he'll just be too busy for Bond 25. As @bondjames points out, Pemberton's scores can be a little intrusive, but that complain…

Tsk tsk @barryt007. It just goes to show how off base and fruitless these Elimination Games actually are then.

Yes, I agree with the sentiment of "sometimes the old ways are the best" - which was why I turned off the movie and stuck on an old Connery classic instead. Thanks for the tip, Moneypenny.

I'm still not convinced by anything this Reddit spy has been reporting. It seems that he's changed tack to accommodate the latest round of Danny Boyle gossip. Surely, if Yann Demange was employed in a similar capacity as Mendes was before Bond 23 we…

Nah, Hiddleston's too effeminate. Fassbender's a good choice, but he's too old now. Anyway, I've got to get ready now in my preparation for Wembley to watch a good man's game of footie.
-
Sounds like you're covering all your bases there @bondjames. I either think an actor is suitable or I don't. In which case, I don't think Hiddleston is suitable 007 material for the simple reason that he's just not macho enough. You won't catch me s…

Likewise @bondjames. And I encourage you to keep an open mind about Hemsworth, but I guess that's not going to happen either.

Yes, I've always been fond of Alex Garland getting involved in a Bond movie too.
