For what it's worth, I enjoyed the movie.

Many of those listed are simply going to be too old. As you say, drivel, but like us they have nothing concrete to talk about.

Hoult has a lot of female admirers. There are things I'm not confident about when considering Hoult as 007, but his attractiveness to women is not one of them.

It's interesting that they apparently had both a German and a Croatian actor audition. I had assumed they'd keep it to the commonwealth countries. I wonder if they were casting right now whether they'd be considering someone like Alexander (The Last…

Though I thought the trailer was bad, Leonardo has a respectable 7.1 at IMDb, with an interesting spread of reviewers giving it either very high marks or very low marks, with few in the middle. I'd guess that it's sort of shlocky and lowbrow, but wi…

I'm not a big fan of Richard Madden (really not keen on him for Bond), but with the Eternals teaser released today I'm wondering, will he be better positioned to take on 007 in the eyes of Eon if the Marvel film is a hit, or would it being a big suc…

^Yeah, the Prize (and Quickenings too, I believe) were not in the original author's script, and that aspect isn't well-developed. The series, though being pretty good, had similar problems with not really being sure what an immortal actually gain…

They need that Queen soundtrack or it doesn't stand a chance.

Cavill has been cast in one of the leads in the Highlander reboot. I think he's less and less likely to be a contender for 007.

There are obvious ones, like the first time Connery says "Bond, James Bond", any of the throwing the hat onto the hat-stand from across the room moments, “That’s a Smith and Wesson....and you’ve had your six”, Bond fighting Grant in the train carria…

I think Daniel Craig adjusting his cuffs in Skyfall is a good, quick moment.
-
One review of the film said he was miscast, another said he was good. No one thinks the film is much cop, though.
-
I think he'll do very well out of Masters of the Air, but he is so far removed from Bond in that clip I find it difficult to imagine him in the role. Definitely an actor who is going places, but I'm struggling to see him acing a 007 casting call.
-
Hoult is just getting into his thirties, looking too young will not be a problem, imo; whether he can look convincingly tough and have that cold intensity in the eyes that has made Daniel Craig's Bond so credible, now that is the question. And th…

Yeah, James Norton is not a good candidate, imo. He was just okay in War & Peace, and I really can't remember him doing anything with his character in the Flatliners remake. He is very much a TV actor, and I can't see him as someone suitable to …

I watched the first episode of Gangs of London last night - Gareth Evans definitely knows how to bring big action set-pieces to the screen. If you want some great hand-to-hand action in your James Bond, this is the guy to bring in (and yeah, if you'…

I think I mainly know her from the Netflix folk-horror movie Apostle.

I'm the opposite. I think the character is more important than the actor, or even the merits of an individual film. The actor should bend his style towards that of the character, and not change the character to fit the actor. Updating elements of th…

One thing we know is that Hoult will age. Whether he will acquire that harder edge... that's another matter. He's got a sensitive face rather than rugged good-looks, but I do think if he doesn't get the role now, in five to ten years time we might w…

The other guy is Aiden Gillen. Looking at the movie poster on IMDb, Nicholas Hoult gets second billing in the list of names (though Jon Bernthal gets the important 'and' designation at the end of the list).

That is a great mini-movie, and better than any 8 minutes that you'll find in Spectre. Owen appeared to be the public's favourite for the role (he was mine, certainly), but the rumour was that he wanted a share of the profits rather than the usual f…

The trailer makes me think of Stallone's Cliffhanger, though I'm sure this being based on a novel and having Taylor Sheridan writing/directing, it will be a bit more substantial-feeling.
