  • I don’t think there’s a chance in hell in that EON would choose an actor for Bond that would present any risk of reputational damage to their commercial partners. The last thing they need is some idiot getting caught behaving badly by a tabloid or g…

  • Personally, I would like to see a break from ESB and not just ‘ignoring the tropes for the first movie and then reintroducing them bit by bit’ but an actual break from ESB, the DB5, the bad one liners etc. They really just felt bolted on and unneces…

  • 007ClassicBondFan wrote: » I think the notion that Brosnan is somehow a “lesser” actor than Craig is a bit silly, and it’s one that I’ve seen floated around on here lately. You can’t blame an actor for the failings of the direction and the script.…

  • mtm wrote: » Another Baby Driver? That's an odd choice. I remember enjoying it enough but not loving it. Weren't there problems with the star? Has he worked much since? I think at least three of the cast have been accused of sexual assault.
  • Thanks for the update @peter - I was not aware of that. Hopefully his Running Man is better than Wiseman's Total Recall (which ironically, I have Zero Recall of). I am in the minority of those who enjoyed Baby Driver, so I’d be interested in seeing …
  • My comment regarding Egerton reflects my preference for a return to something like TSWLM for Bond 26 and the next era. I would prefer a return to a lighter tone and a preference to leave the cinema punching the air, rather than scratching my head. T…

  • I am sure that reference (from the April article) to Egerton being ‘favourite’ is baseless (coming from an interview with a gambling site) but it allows my dream to Live Another Day. He remains my number one choice for the role.
