    I think both Hiddleston and Turner could do the role, although it's hard to know what any of the contenders would actually be like in the role. If I was BB and MGW I would be asking potential candidates what they would want to do with the role, how they'd approach it, what direction they would envision taking it.

    Just hoping it is not Hiddleston, who does nothing for me and I cannot for the life of me see him as Bond. Turner may be fine. Somebody else not on radar still a possibility. And still possible Craig comes back for one more. So .... no real news yet. Same situation.

    Yes, they did say that. He had the potential to be the best Bond, because he had the looks and a combination of Moore/Connery. GE was a cautious & unsure, but promising start.

    Sadly, it all didn't come together like some (especially myself) hoped, and by the end of it all I welcomed the reboot with open arms.

    I hope Hiddle can live up to my expectations, if he is cast. I hope he will will make the role his own, like Craig has done, rather than trying to imitate his forebearers, like Brosnan did.

    If it's Turner, I'll be ok with it too. Fassbender would be great. Craig again would be great too, if only a placeholder for one film. Bell is a no no.

    Well i think he did. Sure his films didn't have the greatest scripts but still were great action/adventure flicks to spend some fun hours they never promised something more and while i loved the Craig flicks as and had better scripts i perfer the Brosnan flicks which respected the formula better.

    They stayed under the classic formula with a modern style.

    The Craig films are a completely modernized films and spectre having the vibe of the classic Bond but still is not the Classic Bond.

    Woow I love both tenures( Pierce Brosnan's and Craig) but in a whole different way

    may just have the charm of Moore combined with the harder edge of Craig?

    This is roughly what people said about Brosnan, isn't it?

    I don't think so. Craig wasn't on the scene when Brosnan was cast.

    No but with Brosnan people said he had the charm of Moore combined with the hrser egde of Sean Connery.

    Yes they did and they were wrong. GE was a good debut, but the film's that followed were disappointing. Brosnan was neither as charming as Moore nor as hard as Connery. In answer to the current debate i' ll answer; Hiddleston yes, Turner No ( lacks star quality), Fassbender ok.

    It some ways it more worrying that Craig has a hand in writing/producing these films. At least with Peirce he was a complete victim of circumstance.

    I've not had a problem with Craig's performance in any of his films, although SP was the one I've liked the least to date, because I don't think he does the nonchalant Bond as well as Connery/Moore or even Lazenby.

    I'm afraid I can't say the same for Brosnan. So the scripts are but one aspect of this discussion from my standpoint.

    Having seen the current buzz on the internerd, I'm going with two choices as the next Bond...

    It's Aidan Turner or...

    A complete unknown that no-one in the media/on forums has mentioned.

    Unless some new guy wows Barbara Broccoli before summer 2017, I think Aidan Turner will be the next James Bond.

    As long as not Bell. Wooden Cavell would even be better ...at least I wouldn't have to squint to see him on the screen.

    I put together a collection of interviews. Who will it be, Hiddleston, or Turner?

    On my local radio station they said the statistics from Google on the next Bond.
    The two names most searched for were, no surprises Hiddleston and Turner.

    The one thing I do not hope for is for EON to pick their candidates based on the media's favorite lists.

    I think he's just repeated what he's said before but he doesn't give the impression he's a major candidate for the part. The risk for Hiddleston is if he keeps saying the same thing it might

    A) become a bit boring

    and

    B) make him sound too desperate for the part.

    My gut feeling is if an actor comes across too desperate for the role EON might not pick them! Idris Elba came out with the line 'I'm probably the most famous Bond actor in the world and I’ve not even played the role."

    Nothing like a bit of hubris to turn the producers off you, Idris! ;)

    Aidan Turner as Poldark, had a great episode in which he had to outwitt a card cheat
    Who was cheating many local small businessmen. It was very tense and reminded me
    Of the fantastic bridge game in Moonraker. :)

    He told the MEN: “It’s not true - not unless they want a bald Bond, which I very much doubt.

    For all those who disliked Pierce Brosnan's voice , bask in reverence at David's
    falsetto tones uttering " My name is Bond ... ? Eh ! What's the line again Victoria " :))

    Q:"Here's your new gadget, 007, adjusted to your athletic skills specifically."
    Bond:"Balls, Q?"
    Q:"Bolas, 007! Now pay attention... You just kick it...!"
    Bond:"Oh, I hope not in the nutters. It hurts, you know?"
    Q:"I give up!"
