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.
-
I thought he was actually good in Man from UNCLE, and kind of charismatic in The Witcher, but Night Hunter was frighteningly bad. In other news, Nicholas Hoult is in the trailers for Angelina Jolie's Those Who Wish Me Dead playing a bad guy/hench…

We've talked about him before. I like him, I think he's very handsome and has a certain amount of presence, and I think he's going places. I certainly see why he's mentioned as a possible Bond candidate. I still think Hoult is going to be the guy…

I'm another one for Fassbender.

I rewatched The Ipcress File again the other night. Everything about it is great - the camerawork, the soundtrack, the performances, the script... it all works so well. I think it's my favourite spy movie of all time. I then listened to the comme…

Sword of Honour was the main place I knew him from. I thought he was a great actor, but just didn't look like my idea of Bond.

I saw John Hodge as the writer and thought "Shallow Grave!" Then I remembered all the other crap he's written. It could go either way.

The Ipcress File is one of my favourite films, but I know the original book is quite different. I've listened to the BBC Radio audio version a couple of times and... it's just doesn't hold the same magic for me. And I've not been particularly impres…

I quite like him, but I think he's a little too old and his resumé is a little underwhelming - Outlander is popular and has won him some awards, but he's another Aidan Turner in that he's done a popular TV show but doesn't have such an impressive fi…
