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…

Yes, who knows who the next actor will be to have secretly filmed the gunbarrel opening? All rumours start off weak, imo.

I don't think they have a director yet. I think they want a big gap between killing off Bond and starting a new incarnation.

Nolan will be able to make whatever he wants at the moment due to his Oppenheimer success, the longer we go without hearing about the new Bond going into production the more likely it is that he'll start on a new project that will put him out of the…

I think the game will come out before the film.

Elordi doesn't do it for me, either.

I think he looks a little more bad-guy than Bond guy, but I did really like him in Tramps, and his resumé is very much in his favour, with lots of roles in prestige dramas suggesting he is an actor to watch. He's almost certain to get screentest I w…
