  • There is a huge difference in a character who is abusive and one who enjoys the non exclusive company of multiple, consenting, women. It’s all in the writing. I’ve always thought that a missed opportunity of the Craig era was not having the recep…

  • Right, but was it built, in part, by using an ancient artifact? That would tie in everything.

  • If this is the McGuffin, it’s ideal for an Indiana Jones story.

  • Interesting… (The conspiracy theory ) (Spoiler)
  • Part of Bonds persona has always been a playful, schoolboy quality; no matter how dire a situation he still has a twinkle in his eye and is enjoying himself. During Craig’s era that was toned down a bit; I would like to see it return.
  • I’m in the minority in that I strongly disliked “The Batman” ; it was a soul sucking experience and Pattinson’s performance complimented it by being relentlessly depressing and gloomy. I do no want this for Bond.
  • Connery / Deneuve, wow.

  • Who knows what reinventing means; it may be semantics, but I think reimagining would have been a better, less threatening words. I’m still high on Chris Hemsworth. He’s got a great look, yes , he would trim down fir Bond, a good deep voice and ch…

  • Don’t take the bait.
  • Oh I absolutely wouldn’t write him off. I do think he would need to put on a bit of quality weight. Before someone says ‘ no one should be cast because the resemble a previous actor’, that’s a given, but it also should not be held against them.

  • I know it’s unlikely but it occurred to me that the statement, “Nobody’s in the running “ could mean that they already have their Bond.
  • He is spot on … Actually, good point all around.

  • The writer must be a lurker on this board.

  • Pattinson, from his look to a tendency to brood in many of his roles, I am not a fan at all. He’s much of the reason that I found “The Batman “ such a soul sucking experience; yes I know I’m in the minority about that.
