Both MGM and Eon are equal partners, though Eon does have the upper hand. There's stuff going on behind the scenes that none of us are privy to, and probably won't be for a very long time, until perhaps one of the producers decides to write a biogra…

That's probably a bit harsh, @ClarkDevlin. Don't forget Eon are also in the middle of negotiating distribution rights' as Sony's deal has just expired. This was meant to have been sorted out by Easter, but clearly something is holding this up. I sho…

He's probably contractually obliged to say only good things.

No thank you, @BondJasonBond006. I'm sticking with Aidan Turner. I like to back a winner :D

The real irony here, @BondJasonBond006, is that Simon Pegg made a CGI appearance in the worst Star Wars movie of them all... The Force Awakens.

Well, there's probably a good reason for not to putting Sonny Robertson on the list, @M_Balje, as one: he's resume points to the fact he's an American and two: he's not an actor anyone has seen yet as he only has one (minor?) role and that's in the …

Robert "Bob" M. Peak's posters always looked classy. I have both Trek and TSWLM original posters in my vintage collection. He also did Our Man Flint and Modesty Blaise movie posters long before he did the Bond ones.

I think Vanilla Sky and Open Your Eyes are the rare exceptions where both were pretty much identical, almost right down to Penélope Cruz reprising the same role. I was quite surprised I enjoyed Vanilla Sky as much as I did because I had already seen…

I like Jack Huston as an actor, but he's an American. If you open the casting door to Huston then you have to open the same door to every other American actor as well. There's a strong rumour that I prefer bagals to toast for my breakfast, @fanbo…

I'll go see it. Looks OK to me. Still don't like the Beastie Boys song in a Trek movie, it would be like having Gregorian chanting as James Bond's favourite music of choice in this century. Why wouldn't Kirk have a more modern song as his favourite …

I agree, @00Agent. That might be the reason why Turner flew out to LA for a meeting, and not for the Bond gig interview, which would have happened in London anyway. So you think there's a possibility I'm on their list, too? :))
-
Yes, I read that too, @00Agent. It appears now that Bond's biggest threat isn't SMERSH or SPECTRE, but Disney/Marvel. Pretty much any available and suitable rugged, handsome actor out there is going to get snapped up for a future superhero franchise…

Fassbender would be the safe bet, he's popular, plus he's an ideal Bond candidate. He's also incredibly productive, knocks out movies like there's no tomorrow. He gets on with everyone, he's not a prima donna, and if he was a decade younger he'd be …

Let's put this into persepective. Sir Roger has simply said: "until he says otherwise." That doesn't mean that the rumblings of behind-the-scenes aren't true, only in that there has been no official statement from Craig saying that he's quit. So I a…

I hear what you're saying, @bondjames, but I'm not quite on the same page with you regarding Hiddleston and Turner. For me, and some others here, Aidan Turner more than held his own against Charles Dance, Toby Stephens and Sam Neill in And Then Ther…

That's very funny, @dinovelvet. You made me chuckle to myself reading that. I'd also add that Connery was firmly established as a TV actor prior to Bond in the UK. Anna Karenina (a big BBC production), Macbeth, ITV Play of the Weeks (4 in total) plu…

I've just been reading some of the comments here on whether Turner has the "It Factor" and also have to question why Hiddleston has been garnished this "It Factor" praise by some members here. I seriously don't think Hiddleston, good actor that he i…

I see the movie I rated highly last October has finally been released in the US under the title of Kill Zone 2. It was originally titled "Sha Po Lang 2: A Time for Consequences" when I saw it. If you like the martial arts genre go see this movie.
