  • I've never seen Bridgerton or heard of this actor, Corey Mylchreest, but I came across this interview and have to say that, in an interview he impressive; he has a great voice and conducts himself well. He also has a strong "Conneryesque" brow game …
  • I have always thought that there are 3 Bonds; I base this on the age of the actors and the fact that the movies are set in the present . Connery, Lazenby and Moore are the same Bond; so the Bond in Dr. No is the same as the Bond in AVTAK. The next i…
  • Thank you @peter ; the Dominican Republic was incredible. The beaches and waters are gorgeous and our resort was fantastic. I have to also how great the citizens are. They are warm, friendly and do their best to make you feel welcome.
  • There is no right or wrong when it comes to bringing back an actor, or actors from previous incarnations; it’s a matter of preference. My preference in this case is a clean slate. More than what had been done previously, Craig’s era is truly its own…
  • Clean slate…
  • In Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic. My girlfriend and I both turn 60 this year so thought we would do it right. When I took the picture of the beautiful beach and ocean I was listening to Barry’s Bond music; it doesn’t get any better.

  • I can’t understand how some dismiss the importance of a strong voice ; it’s such an obvious quality for the character.

  • I also take the “ making it up as you go” but I do think MacQuarrie is a master of of adapting and pivoting during a production and keeping the storylines fairly tight and plot hole sparse. I’ve often thought that I would have loved to have seen the…
  • The powers that be be behind the next incarnation of Bond could learn a lot from Picard season 3 and Top Gun: Maverick.; strive to tell new, exciting stories, but respect your origins.

  • You fellows can start a HoultNotBond.com site. 😁
  • I have to say that I prefer the look of the Enterprise E but I do think the D has more effect for this story.
  • Hoult has continuously grown into his looks and matured as an actor; he would be 35ish when Bond 26 begins shooting. Over a 10 to 15 year run, a youthful appearance will be beneficial. I think he can pull off the physicality and would bring a light …
  • Nicholas Hoult is being mentioned as a potential star of Clint Eastwood's next, possibly final film, "Juror No. 2". I actually think that he has the perfect level of fame and accomplishment to be the next Bond; he's well known but not a mega star. T…
  • The more that I’ve seen him on Picard , Ed Speleers absolutely deserves a look; he’s charismatic, has a strong voice and holds his own next to Patrick Stewart.
  • In anticipation of the next entry, I’ve recently rewatched the MI films; for Bond 26 I want Rogue Nation. It really is an awesome film that balances all of the ingredients beautifully. The tone is perfect, with just the right amount of comic relief.

  • I have to say that Phoebe has great screen presence.
