True. I can't picture and don't really want to picture a Bond actor known for 2 major film franchises. Might lessen the value, IMO.
I'm not saying that Bond shouldn't be heroic, but if you remove self-preservation entirely then there is no fundamental tension at the heart of the character. There has always got to be the risk that the very nature of being a spy has the potential to corrupt him. But at the end of the day, he is still the "best bet" in this business known as international espionage, and that's why he is Bond. That's an idea that they really have to address soon - the idea that Bond is subject to the sames temptations of the Bond girl, Bond Villain and Allies.

According to imdb he's only 1 inch shorter than dc.
Do you think that's too short still ?
When Maibaum set out to adapt or write Dr. No, FRWL, GF, TB, OHMSS, FYEO and LTK, was the direction from Cubby to mainly focus on the political landscape, or was it to focus on Ian Fleming?
No prizes for guessing it is the latter, and which makes my blood boil at the way Bond films have been produced since Cubby's death - shying away from the untapped material and focusing on new ideas which are mostly awful.
Fair enough, keep it relevant to modern times and styles. The Bond films have always done that, and this can be worked into the script too, but the focus should be on Fleming first and foremost, and then work in some relevant political ideas later.
This ain't rocket science, yet with those two morons in charge of the script, you think it was brain surgery they were been asked to perform.
Is that a serious question or are you just spamming?
Hmm, Interesting...
on the subject of the next actor, in quite a few previous posts on this thread I have suggested Fassbender, Alexander Scarsgard, Hiddleston, Turner, Scott Eastwood, all of which I though would be good.
Scrap all that, I have just seen a movie called The Guest starring the next Bond...Dan Stevens.
The right age, the right look, good in the action, can act, just enough under the radar. I'm off to William Hills.
At 35 he'd be a great age to start his Bond tenure. Even with Craig appearing in Bond 25 he'll still be a good fit. He's 6' which put him in the 'yes' category height wise.
One of his co-stars in Beauty And The Beast struck me as being a little like Brosnan in his performance and mannerisms was Luke Evans. Another Six footer and at 38 he displays potential. Not saying I want either of these two to take on the iconic role.
Just mentioning names.
But as a matter of casting an "open" actor in a role like Bond, for an international audience where foreign has become more important than ever, I would find it hard to believe that Broccoli and co would ever hire an open actor.
In the scheme of things, talents and looks, I'd consider Luke Evans way before Huddleston and especially Turner!
It's moot anyway because I don't think he's under consideration by EON. I think they've got a few people they are looking at, and that's it.
Exactly. Something is definitely going on, we know that much.
There's only one reason why there's been no announcement regarding the search for a new 007. It's because DC is the man in the tux.
On top of that, if the powers that be know that DC is truly gone, why start a script? What's the rush to get one going?
If you know you're re-casting, why not announce this, do the search, choose the fella, and build a script/story around that actor's strengths?
Why bother getting a script going now if not to get it in the hands of the actor playing Bond, Daniel Craig?
