Baz has been pretty silent over the past year on Bond related news, though I'm sure he's delighted to have you in his corner as his champion @bondjames. Of course, I partially agree with you. But I'll also add that Bamigboye hasn't been the only val…
-
So, you're saying Baz Bamigboye has debunked this story already? Again, I must have missed that. Do you have a link to his debunking? Or are you referring to the Nolan story and not the Boyle one? With regards to the "reputable Spanish fan websit…

I'm not so sure @Ludovico. I think finding a would-be "movie star" is far more preferable to that of having a serious "artist" in the role of Bond. I guess it all depends on one's notion of what a movie star is and what an artist is. Both of them ac…

Sure it's a rumour. Hasn't the majority of news or gossip been only rumours on this thread up until now? The thing to take into consideration when weeding out the chaff from the wheat is the source. Deadline.com has been pretty solid with its exclus…

Dramatic chops? Bond is Fleming, not Harold Pinter or Brecht. Hopefully, Broccoli will steer it away from trying to be a second-rate thinking-man's John le Carré and reinstate a lot of the Fleming flavour that's been exorcised from the series. Finge…

That's like saying Connery can't play Bond because he was an ex-body builder and he's too Scottish, @JamesBondKenya. Sam Heughan is about to appear in The Spy Who Dumped Me which might fit those that think it's a prerequisite that an actor must h…

I can't argue with your assessment @talos7. He's got a good deep voice and is 6′ 3″ and is still young by Bond actor standards. If it isn't Hemsworth, then it needs to be someone very much like him.
-
I don't think that it's prerequisite that an actor must have played a Bond-type role in a movie before being cast as 007. Roger Moore's The Saint wasn't particularly anything like Bond, nor was Dalton in Flash Gordon or Pierce Brosnan in Remington S…

So unless Hemsworth is in a surfing movie, he's completely miscast then?

Ha ha. That made me smile. Good one, sir.

Surely, no one can be that pedestrian, @Thunderfinger?

I didn't realise that you were a member of The Broadcast Film Critics Association, @JamesBondKenya. Who else don't you think can't act then? Out of curiosity, have you seen Chris Hemsworth in Rush?

Trouble with Richie is is that he reuses that same "toing and froing" technique as his protagonist tries to explain some event that's gone on before and thinks it's clever. It normally involves slight of hand or something that the narrator is withho…

That's called stereotyping, @Torgeirtrap. Admittedly, he does surf at Byron Bay in Australia, so the surfing mantle is half-right. I tend to associate "surfer dudes" as airhead, pot-smoking beefcakes rather than their sporting, athletic counterparts…

Cheers, @Birdleson. I'm not sure whether I answered the question properly, as I started to reminisce maybe too much as I was typing. It can be a little hazy around the OHMSS release as I can clearly remember wanting to see Where Eagles Dare also rou…

I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes of Ritchie's King Arfur. Admittedly, I was watching it on a plane to Dubai, but honestly, you don't think I'd pay good money to see another Richie movie in the cinema after UNCLE, do you? There were times whe…

I have a similar experience to @Birdleson with regards to the late Sixties transition period. But fortunately, I was taken to see OHMSS in the winter of '69, which was when my love of Bond was born. Subsequently, I caught up with all the past great …

Cillian Murphy looks, how shall I put it delicately? Odd looking. And yes, he's far too old already at 41. So by the time Bond 26 eventually cranks into production, he'll probably be 45 or 46! Hardly a suitable age to start your Bond tenure at. E…

To be fair to Dalton, I believe Bond 17 would have been handled completely differently to the LTK debacle. First off, much like TLD and GoldenEye, it would not have been pitted against that year's biggest blockbusters in an overcrowded summer schedu…

Part of me hopes that this rumour is true. Personally, I'm much more enthusiastic about Danny Boyle helming Bond 25 than shaky-cam Yann Demange.

That Noel Gallagher song has a little whiff of Bus Stop originally sung by The Hollies and written by the prolific Graham Gouldman of 10cc. Just saying.

Bad hair and puffiness aside, he looks quite short in those photos. But with Hollywood movie magic I'm sure they'll make him look taller and younger in the final movie.
