  • We've seen Campbell's take on the franchise. For the next film, we need something new and exciting. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Villeneuve get the gig, though.

  • Very much agreed, @peter . None of this gets done until there is a distribution deal. Until then, it's all media reports and agents trying to get their clients' name out into the press.

  • Thank you, @Murdock. :) Photoshop is not my forte, but I thought it turned out reasonably well, even if its' just a simple swapping out Roger Moore's head for Friend's. ;)
  • In an admittedly vain attempt to get this thread back on track, I'll contribute my mock-up of Rupert Friend as Bond.
  • Thunderpussy wrote: » Aidan Turner, ( Before anyone else ) ;) Now that the question posed in the thread title has been definitively answered, what now? ;)
