Like Moore?
My mum said Jeremy Kyle 😂 😂
Just watched Margot at the Wedding and found myself mesmerized by Ciarán Hinds—he has that ineffable quality that could have made him a great James Bond. It got me wondering if he was ever considered for the role back in the ’90s. He had the gravitas, the charisma, and that slightly rugged allure that’s vital for the part. Imagine a Bond with a hint of poetic depth—Hinds would’ve brought that in spades.
A quick IMDb dive revealed that Hinds is playing the older version of Jacob Elordi’s character in the upcoming Narrow Road to the Deep North. That caught my attention because, while Elordi’s still a bit untested, this project seems tailor-made to showcase his range. Plus, it nudged me toward realizing that Elordi might just edge out Harris Dickinson as my current pick for the next Bond—though it’s close.
Agreed the guy has got something. Hes almost the opposite to Craig, laid back and unbothered. Gives me Lazenby vibes, strangely.
Anyone else team O'Connor?
He is of course nearing the cut off to play 007, but I’d say he still has time. He looks good.
O'Conner, talent-wise, career-wise, demeanor, is much more what I want from a Bond actor. Though he isn't perfect for it either, but in a way that would make it interesting and not just heartthrob bullshit.
That show was terrible and him in it as well. He is so far from Bond it's not funny in my book. What a wimp, totally failed to sell me he could kill. I thought the wife was like, a fake out, the acting was so bad.
Being handsome is the best weapon the next actor can have.
The issue is that Elordi is not handsome enough.
Yep.
Have a strict trilogy of films released over a nine year timeline. That would make him 44 on debut and 53 when he finishes. More of a believable age to be a Commander in the Navy, and still young enough to still be playing Bond when he finishes.
Three films only over nine years. It’s possible.
Think about the potential of this, what better time for an adaptation of Moonraker with Gala Brand? It's one of the last great Fleming stories left, with a great ending for Bond in the modern age, to be left high and dry by the Bond girl and is mystified by it. I think that would have people leaving the cinema with loads to discuss and digest. That's a somewhat personal stake, which doesn't involve Bond cradling a dead friend, or going rogue/into hiding.
MR has been adapted over and over again. Or rather elements of it.
The thing is that the novel as written has no space element to it at all. That was the invention of Eon when they came to adapt the novel many years later. Moonraker the novel was solely concerned with a ICBM type missile honing in on London.
Exactly. A private space company could do exactly what Drax had in mind.
The story Is ripe for adaptation.
