'He's landed a shared main role'
So 50% of the lead.
And the film hasn't even been released yet so not sure how you can tell? Henry Cavill has been cast in the lead in MOS and UNCLE and is terrible so just because a casting director says so it doesn't make you leading man material.
But by all means keep believing.
Lazenby: 1
Dalton: 2
Brosnan: 4
Craig: 5
Connery: 6
Moore: 7
Therefore, Bond #7 might do 3.
People associate him too much with Viserys Targaryan I suppose. To be honest if I'd only seen of his face in his GoT character I'd laugh at the idea he could be Bond. But without his blonde wig he sure looks Bondian to me. And he has the perfect age.
Taylor Lautner and Hayden Christensen have led films, too. Doesn't make it a good idea.
I'm still indifferent regarding Turner because I've yet to see him in anything but 'The Hobbit,' which didn't give me a proper look at how he may handle Bond.
Yeah but did Henry Cavill play the historical role of the man who killed Hitler and THEN Bigfoot?
I'm more curious whether Turner shares lead status with Hitler or with Bigfoot...
They wouldn't have Bigfoot against Turner because Bigfoot has far more charisma and that would be detrimental to Turner.
I don't know how seriously Hardy expressed interest - he said something not dismissive when asked, but I don't know... but maybe he actually is interested.
Okay, I haven't seen any potential so far, but I haven't seen the Christie thingy.
I'm always extremely suspicious of unconfirmed comments famous people have presumably made about other famous people (or about anything else). Basically, if there's no proof and enough context (a partial quote, even if correct, can be completely misunderstood when taken out of context), I consider such claims meaningless.
How can you be sure he would? I can't speak about Fassbender specifically, I don't know anywhere enough to even guess, but every actor wouldn't want the role even if offered. He's doing fine as it is (he gets enough work) and may not want to be more famous etc.
Fassbender not so sure but I wouldn't be surprised if he took it. Yes he's successful but Bond would keep him amongst the A-list for another 10-15 years. A canny actor knows that would allow them to do a whole load of other stuff in between esp. if EON keep up the long breaks
But they risk having him up against Hitler?
Hitler had the charisma of a sexually impotent tyrant. Bigfoot is a cool wild beast.
I'm sure any of the names bandied around in here, along with some that haven't have been in the EON radar.
The casting of a new Bond is a massive event. When they need to re-cast I'm sure they won't do it on a whim.
To be fair he's supposed to be quite good in that Irish serial killer thing, and I saw him in a film on Netflix recently called The Siege of Jadotville and he was quite good in that. So I think 50 Shades is probably a case of the material letting him down, which is a shame because he's going to find it very hard to escape that imo (certainly won't get Bond now). But to be fair I'd imagine it was hard to turn down given how well it must pay.
That was the single worst acting ever hyped on this planet. They could've had an Orang Utan play Gray better than that. At least the 'masculinity' would've been covered. It goes to show you can sell anything if the marketing budget is big enough.
I wonder which part of the marketing was effective. I only saw the trailer - unfortunately multiple times - when going to see other movies, and it was really boring, bland, uninteresting, and with zero chemistry, and it seemed to suggest the movie was going to be really boring, bland, uninteresting and with zero chemistry. So I wouldn't have bothered to go even if given free tickets. I guess there must have been some better marketing somewhere.
I think it's a very good discription of the film. I had to sit through it because my then girlfriend wanted to go and I had to make up for something, which was paid back in full by watching the first two minutes and if I were still in contact with her she'd owe me a lot for the rest!
Anyway, the book was poorly written too a.f.a.k., but it all played into the 'housewife fantasies', which says a lot about the people actually going to the film. The advertisements were, again to my knowledge, aimed at this group of people, especially with 'specials' in appropriate magazines and so on and so forth.
