I also think that, keeping the brand fresh, they need some youth injected to the series. "Old dog, new tricks " is over. The "rebirth" of Bond needs to be new and distinctive and a youthful charm could be the way to go.

Another plus for Hoult is that , even though he has a relatively low profile, brands like Armani think he is worthy of using. We know that supporting brands is a key role within the modern Bond franchise so another box already ticked.

Please help me out here, did they pick DC on the basis that they had already decided on a more "rough and ready" Bond or did he effectively define the role once cast? We need to consider the direction that they want to take the character as that wil…

Is one of the issues we have is the increasing gap between real life, popular culture and the World of James Bond ? If you look at movie stars from 50s to 70s, glamore, escapism and star appeal were are the core of the movie business. Sir Roger star…

I didn't say I didn't care but, as DC has shown, there is flexibility in the looks department. Being Bond is as much about the "swagger", lifestyle etc as it is the pure looks. I dont think that the choice should be really narrowed by pure looks. If…

It's interesting that so many of you are basing the decision on looks when there are so many other factors. Based on that, DC would never had stood a chance but he's done a great job. It's so much more than looks IMHO.

Thats was 2 years ago. In another 2 to 3 years, he will be better.

Half of the cinema was choking up (including me) on the first viewing. Once the writers decided on a death scene, it has to be in a quiet place and the church worked well IMHO. The death by knife is symbolic of a key theme (old ways are the best and…

Its a shame the running time is so long as they could have considered a standard release via stream and an extended "directors cut" eventually when the cinemas are fully open. I get the feeling that plot is essential in this film (rather than just a…

I'm going to sell my copy of "James Bond Cars" and put it on Hoult at 50-1

Interersting that these talks have been leaked. Could it be that EON are testing the water with the media and the public reaction to the idea? If there was a huge backlash to the idea of Bond on the small screen, they can re-evaluate.
-
One of the ellements in play is possibility of another delay. If you look at the negative PR that EON got from the last delay (and there must have been internal stress/arguments), is another delay really an option? It would taint the brand and drag …

If you look at all of the ups and downs re the brand over recent years, surely, they need someone like the great Sir Roger who will be a reliable represetative of the brand. We live in a media world where just a small slip up (slit wrists) can be mi…

To steal a phrase from BJ we need an actor who is "oven ready".

Six months ago, I would have said hold out but. seeing where we are today, COVID is a long turn issue with no end in site. "There comes a time to turn Mother's picture to the wall and get out!" take the money and start doing background work on the n…

FatherV is spot on re his points. The younger generation has a shorter attention span. (MI and Marvel get this). EON need to cast and get a script ASAP (after NTTD release)and this IMHO would point to someone who is close to the finished article and…

Paddypower are offering 50-1 on Hoult - HUGE!!
-
There is a certain logic to at least offering to that market. You can only guess how much it will make in the cinemas at any one time (with huge variables) but its good to have a solid figure that you know is "on the table" re streaming.
-
The Bond series has a history of pretty dreadful or unimaginative endings IMHO. Unlike any other in the series, there are expectations concerning literally the last thirty seconds. It could make or break the whole movie. Goodness, I hope they get it…
-
Sorry, another point. To get so close to a huge starring role means he must have ticked so many of the boxes that EON need ticking. Obviously, he has to be right for the role but many of the boxes would have been about attitude, professionalism, dea…
-
The fact that Hoult went for the Batman role shows he actually wants to take the next step re top billing. If you are happy in the cape, you are happy in the tux? The pressures in both roles would be huge. He's ready.

Darth - the context you are missing is that Trump is deranged. Once you consider that, he makes perfect sense.

a comprehensive school in our town has had to close a year and bring in other measures after parents had their kid tested for COVID and then sent the kid to school! Test came back positive a few days later. Should be an offence IMHO (very easy to pr…
