Just how 'real-world' does everyone want the new Bond era to be? Are you in favour of larger-than-life henchmen with colourful names, or do you want more grounded enemies? Big Ken Adam-style sets, or more real-world locations? Tricked-out superca…

I watch a lot of subtitled film and TV shows, but the thing is knowing which of these great actors actually can act in English, as I don't think we'll ever get a Bond film with more than a few minutes of subtitles.

Yeah, Jamie Dornan was not somebody I ever considered until The Tourist came out. I'd kind of written him off as a sex-symbol-of-the-week, but after The Tourist and Belfast I think he has presence and talent. Unfortunately, I think that often by the…

When I watched that interview I felt Theo James was just playing cool about the part, because generally I think for all the crap that comes with it, the Bond role does give an actor opportunities and leverage to do films that they otherwise wouldn't…

I watched The Last Letter from Your Lover last night. Calum Turner is interesting as an actor, but I still don't know if he'd work as Bond; Joe Alwyn, occasionally mentioned round these parts, was also in the film and is much easier to see in the ro…

The only thing I've really liked Norton in is Joss Whedon's The Nevers, where he was playing a smug but charming roué, which he did very well. He was okay in the BBC's adaptation of War and Peace, but just okay, though it's worth watching to see a b…

I thought Theo James was very charismatic in Divergent, but he hasn't been as good since. Ironically I think it might be because he deepened his voice when he put on an American accent, I remember the theatre practically vibrated every time he spoke.

Lol.

Yes, and as I said, O'Connell is probably the best of age range. Bogart is arguably the definitive Philip Marlowe, and he's considerably shorter and slimmer than the character from the book, so it can work if you have the talent.

I'm a pessimist, but even I don't believe Barbara Broccoli has no intention of making another Bond. I'm sure a small hiatus was planned when they decided to kill off Bond, otherwise it just looks cheap and has no weight, imo. They didn't put that…

O'Connell is the most charismatic actor of all the new hopefuls, but he just doesn't look or sound like Bond for me. I would understand why they might choose him considering his talent, and of course actors are good at pretending they're something t…
