Silent Partner is a movie I've been on the lookout for. Can't remember having seen a young(er) Christopher Plummer in any films before!
It's on my list, so I will definitely try to find it!
I also saw The High Commissioner years ago too but don't remember much about that.
I was sorta lukewarm about Charlie Hunnam before. But now, after seeing Lost City of Z, I think he is primed and ready to take this on. He can be both rugged and charming. He is at the top of my list to succeed DC. Tom Hiddleston would be my #2. .
I thought he was the one thing that dragged an otherwise enjoyable film down.
“I was about to do X-Men 2 and a call came from my agent asking if I’d be interested in Bond. I just felt at the time that the scripts had become so unbelievable and crazy, and I felt like they needed to become grittier and real. And the response was: ‘Oh, you don’t get a say. You just have to sign on.’ I was also worried that between Bond and ‘X-Men,’ I’d never have time to do different things.”
Hugh could have been good I think. I disagree with Babs, who allegedly considered him 'fey'.
That's why I hope they don't think too much about longetivity/how old the actor is. Give me two or three films with Fassbender over five or six with Aiden Turner or someone off Game Of Thrones any day.
There is something to be said for maturity though certainly. I'm currently watching Berlin Station, and Richard Armitage definitely has the height and looks for the role along with the maturity. He's another one that could have done it if cast earlier but at 46 he's too old for it now (he looks very good for his age though).
Personally, I think actors should do three to four max and then get lost. Keeps it fresh and they normally peak on their third anyway.
But to be told 'you have no say' would put anyone off with his calibre.
And I think Babs has a lot to answer for re the situation then AND now.
How times have changed now eh ?
Mr Craig - Co Producer and major input.
It's not only you: I always said the pool circa 2005 was overall very interesting.
Regarding Jackman I think he was too associated with Wolverine at the time, otherwise he'd been good. That said I sort of understand what Barb meant when she said he was too fey: outside his role of Wolverine I always thought he looked rather soft.

EDIT: Tom Holland reiterates his strong desire to be the next James Bond. Now that the height restriction has been removed anyone can apply it seems. 'James Bond: The Young Years' anyone?

*Cue James Bond Jr Theme*
Indeed, this is the big reveal to me, too. X-Men 2 began filming in summer of 2002, well before DAD was even released. What's interesting is that even as late as March 2004, MI6 was reporting that Purvis and Wade were writing with Brosnan in mind: https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/event_purvis_wade_talk.php3?t=bond21&s=bond21
Richard Madden
Theo James
Nicholas Hoult
Richard Armitage
Dan Stevens
Aiden Turner
Henry Cavill
Dan Stevens has potential, but I find his acting a bit theatrical and overplayed. Lacking in subtlety.
Not too keen on the rest I'm afraid.
Luke Evans however would make a terrific Bond.
I've mentioned Evans before, which got shot down quickly because he's gay in real life. Those who disagreed apparently don't understand what acting is.
He is nearly 40 though, and I figure they'll go for someone mid-30's when the time comes.
