He meant me, I believe!
I'm sure you would knock either candidate out of the park.
Yep, Joe in A Fistful of Dollars
Manko in For A Few Dollars More
and Blondie in TGTB&TU
The Man with No Name was a publicity stunt done by the Americans when the films were released in the USofA. I prefer The Dollars Trilogy if they have to go under a name.
Wait a minute he was up for bond in 05 but was passed over as being too young... Yeah maybe
Maybe ..maybe not as far as numbers. Personally I'd rather slit my wrists than see him play Bond.
I could only stomach about 5 minutes of Hawaii 5.0 and that guy whatever his name is totally forgettable.
He makes ... what's his name...??? The superman guy?? ..whomever ...well THAT guy look entertaining.

It wasn't cool.
Well I thought everyone would like to see a more professional take on the Bond suggestions.
but no, the thing is the media's opinion on Bond its very much like your average joe.
Unless the writer says he is a huge Bond fan they have the more common concept of the character.
So you're saying that Emilia Clarke wouldn't make a good Bond? ;)
I recently discovered a book written by two casting directors who worked on CR. Its' called "A Star Is Found: Our Adventures Casting Some of Hollywood's Biggest Movies. The women behind it had a hand in the worldwide search for the new Bond in TLD, GE and CR.
Some of the revelations they make about CR are really interesting. For instance, the initial plan was to case someone in their mid 20s - however, they would settle for someone in their mid 30s.
Alex O'Loughlin was a big contender, but his age turned out to be an issue. There was a general consensus that he would be a good Bond in a few years.
Henry Cavill, at 22, was seen as masculine but lacked sense of mastery required for the part of 007.
Cavill then:
Cavill now:
What is most interesting is the revelation that Ewan McGregor screentested for the part! Here's a photo of him circa 2005:
Also there is confirmation that Orlando Bloom and Heath Ledger were mentioned as possibilities. Both Karl Urban and Julian McMahon withdrew themselves from the process.
The most feasible candidate today would be O'Loughlin. He's got a bit of edge to him, he sorta remind me a little of Tom Hardy.
* If Craig quits, of course.
Hiddleston's voice captures the Eton-esque/ Fettes (Public School boy) tone (and English charm) that will work for Bond (which an American audience will love). Turner....well.....doesn't.
Indeed. I'd much rather have Craig stick around. Looking at that picture of the 22 year old Cavill, I can picture a scenario of him having done, CR. Then Brosnan returning Diamonds Are Forever style for the 2008 follow up as the Cavill CR turns out to be an embarrassing experiment. By 2012 we would have had a new Bond for the 50th anniversary.The film we all know as Quantum Of Solace simply wouldn't exist in this universe.
hit the nail on the head... they all seem so blah...
