The Bond in the books threw away his cyanide pills.
We're talking about a man who has faced and defied some pretty desperate situations. I really don't think some drug taking effect, will make him contemplate suicide. It would be a short-lived franchise. Moreover, I see no logic, reason or motive for him to contemplate suicide at that moment.
He's taking out his gun as he realises he's been drugged, because his instinct tells him it's only a matter of seconds before some henchman will take advantage of the situation.
I found her performance in NM to be inferior to her performance in Quantum.

Hiddleston has his fans, and I'm not against the idea of him being Bond, but he'd need to pack on some weight. He reminds me too much of Tim Roth.
I never thought that Bond might be attempting suicide. I've always taken it at face value, as the chloral hydrate is kicking in, Bond is starting to loose his co-ordination.
I agree with you on Turner, though. If Craig doesn't want to come back, then Turner should be cast for Bond #25.
Excellent show. Very tense start. Hiddleston was my top pick to take over from Craig before, and he has solidified that position so far. This man has the 'it' factor as far as I'm concerned. He walks with purpose, speaks in the manner and with the authority that one would expect, and has the height that a Bond actor should have. Those are just the physical attributes.
His acting is pitch perfect here as well. I realize he's not playing Bond, but he might as well should be because he is projecting Bondian characteristics very naturally from what I can see here so far.
Wait till you get to the last episode, he has a 'Bondian' moment there with a certain drink.
Craig I guess doesn't look the part either though.
I don't know. I don't have a favorite candidate yet.
Nail on head bondjames.
I agree.
As mentioned, my only major physical wish for Bond #7 is that he be a little naturally suaver than Craig, with a bit more polish, and a little taller.
Agree.
Most of us realize that this is probable. Anybody remember Clive Owen? :D
But to be fair Craig was the first unexpected choice for Bond, Moore, Dalton and Brosnan were expected for some time.
I'm not so sure EON will again opt for someone unknown as Craig was. They may want to have some level of star power, not too much of course, but Aidan Turner or Hiddleston would have that quality.
Dan Stevens (my favourite) is unknown.
Idris Elba or Tom Hardy or Fassbender would have too much star power I think. Therefore I don't believe any of them will be Bond.
Nicholas Hoult could also be a choice if Craig returns for one more.
Come to think of it, Connery was as well.
Interesting list, some I would have never considered.
Happy to be there. Thanks.
He's 39 at the moment, if Craig were to decide to leave, he's just within the right age.
I think its clear he could live with out the PR aspect of the job, it must be exhausting making the film then immediately going to out sell it to the world 250 interviews of the same questions. I would say I would rather I'd slit my wrist too, but once you recharge and reflect I think he realised as we all would that being Bond is the best job in the world and I think he will find it difficult to say no. I also think he enjoys watching all these names being linked, then he steps forward it's a reminder of just how lucky he is that he is envy of all male actors.
Two comments right at the end of the press run for Spectre.
Michael G "we think we've got him"
Daniel Craig "I might do another one, maybe another two, I don't know, now's not the time to think about it"
Dan has never come out after one Bond movie and said yip I definitely doing another one. He's more coy than that for an actor it's like saying "pay me less for the next one for the same work I did on this one".
Between October when both comments were made and now, I don't see Dan making the rush decision to quit. I highly doubt he would have rushed the decision.
Two things
Bond Sell's newspapers, New Bond actor stories is free work for the media to copy paste and sell.
Betting shops take a sudden influx in money on the next Bond.
It is both industries who keep this going between Bond films both making money.
So for that reason, Bond will be back, I believe Dan will be too.
I can.
Anyway, I agree he'd probably be great, I just can't imagine it happening. Probably too old as well.
