  • Competition is good for Bond, don't ya think? I reckon so. Keeps EON from getting too complacent. Daniel Craig isn't as crazy as Tom Cruise so I don't expect him to do all of his stunt work but if the Bond producers see Fallout and are impressed …
  • Tom Cruise's height is never an issue. That's why he was ideal to play Jack 'six feet 5 inches' Reacher.

  • I won't put the link up here because it's about another spy film - Mission Impossible: Fallout - but it's a New York Post lamenting the current style of Bond films. I think it's worth checking out because it's does discuss the current state of the B…
  • I feel the topic link below could be worthy of a new thread! WHY MISSION IMPOSSIBLE KICKS JAMES BOND ASS https://nypost.com/2018/07/25/why-mission-impossible-kicks-james-bonds-ass/ Like no franchise other than, perhaps, “Star Wars,” James …

  • I dread to think what Tom Cruise will do in the next MI film! Strap himself to a nuclear missile? Tom: "I discussed this cool idea with the director. I strap myself to a nuke and it's launched at the enemy. Just before it hits the ground I jum…
  • His reaction here is a bit awkward: "Er.. well yeah, I'll be Bond if they want me" kind of response! I guess it is a bit awkward discussing Bond when you're promoting a rival spy film franchise! I love how he used the word "impossible" - I du…
  • I think he is too stiff. Some people thought his Superman was too stiff or underused. Would you say that Henry Cavill's stiff portrayal of Superman is ... https://www.quora.com/Would-you-say-that-Henry-Cavills-stiff-portrayal-of-Superman-... 1…
  • Nah, mentioned it many times in his career. 2016: https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2016-03-24/superman-henry-cavill-really-wants-to-be-the-next-james-bond/ 2013 "Of course I would be... amazing opportunity."
  • bondsum wrote: » Cruise and Cavill are, which was the point of Cavill’s comment, Giminlady, but as some of us have already taken pains to point out: Cavill wasn’t being discourteous, he was simply giving Eon a reason to hire him after Craig stands…

  • The Bond race hots up!
  • I reckon Bond will be depressed, washed-up, out of the service. Perhaps Brexit resulted in most of the closure of the 00 Division and Bond has no purpose in his life. He splits up from Madeleine Swann. "She was no swan," Bond remarks. "More like a d…
  • Regarding countries for filming... Australian and/or New Zealand would seem obvious choices. Commonwealth countries, speak English and QBranch wrote: » That cat on Mark Strong's back... Is that the same cat from Spectre? It looks like the exact s…
  • His stuntman can do the walking, running and stunts. The close-up shots of Ford talking - I think he can do that. Just about. :P

  • The only problem is Solo underperformed big time with a new actor as Han Solo so Disney might have major concerns about recasting Indiana Jones and a potential new rebooted Jones movie underperforming too. If Harrison Ford is the only actor people w…
  • Harrison Ford will be even older! How old will he be? 80? LOL Oh well, let's hope ILM can de-age him a bit!

  • There's a recent item on Forbes website about the potential box office for Fallout. https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2018/06/29/mission-impossible-fallout-may-propel-tom-cruise-to-new-box-office-heights/ Having said that, many ente…
  • On the subject of hair - or lack of (!) - it's doubtful it would be a major issue. Sean Connery wore a wig for all his Bond films. A future balding Bond could wear a wig too. I suppose if the actor were dramatically short of hair before he were c…
  • I guess that rules out Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson from becoming the next Bond! :)
  • How about Felicity Leiter? Felix's daughter. She's followed dad and works for the CIA. Bond seduced her and Felix is not happy. "James, how could you!"
  • It would be hilarious if England won the World Cup - not because we're any good but all the other teams - the better ones - get knocked out! Portugal out. Germany out. Argentina out. And the best team is out - San Marino! Man, legends in their own h…
  • And don't forget Henry Cavill's moustache ruined Justice League. They had to remove it and many DC fans couldn't bear the CGI effect. I think that's reason enough to boycott Mission Impossible: Hair Fallout!
  • One day a movie's end titles will be longer than the actual movie! :P
  • There was this guy called Net Geek - used to post on IMDB during the early years of Craig's run as Bond - he posted a photo and he looked like a younger James Bond. He wasn't an actor but he used to say EON should find someone like him. A total unk…
