  • In a recent interview Martin Campbell confirmed that 8 actors were actually screentested for CR; we know, obviously, Craig and Cavill. He also named Sam Worthington and Goran Visnjic. Who are the other 4 to actually be screentested?

  • Having seen recent interviews with Campbell, the age issue is irrelevant; he is fit and energetic. And as far as the ‘ his non-Bond films are hit and miss’, I don’t care. He gets Bond;that’s all that matters. I would love to se him return.

  • Thunderfinger wrote: » Brosnan was nowhere near as famous or popular as Moore. Fame is relative; the bottom line is that none of the actors were boxoffice draws, with Moore and Brosnan being primarily known for their work in television.

  • DoctorNo wrote: » Agreed. Spielberg did a terrible job with Crystal Skull, it was not all on Lucas. Exactly, which is why I welcome Mangold taking the reins for this entry; I don’t think Spielberg’s heart is into this type of film anymore.
  • I have a bigger problem with the ridiculous “ Nuking the Fridge “ than I do the aliens storyline, not the to mention the amphibious boat over the waterfalls and the monkeys.

  • Things have gone quite; the most recent photos showed Ford cycling and looking fit. Has he returned to filming?

  • I predict an announcement of a new Bond within 3 years and he will be between 32 and 37 years old ; so actors now in their early to early/ mid thirties are now in the pool. Lowden and Hoult are my top two…. at the moment 😁
