    Its weird to think if we were on the 2019 release schedule filming on Bond 25 would have started and we would have had a press conference Craig doesn't look in shape yet he looks a bit rough

    When he was on Colbert he was in perfect Bond shape and plus all the delays and his new film probably required him to put on weight so he is not in his usual Bond shape.. He will probably just fast when filming is over.

    He'll be in shape by the time filming commences. A lot can happen in three months. A lot.

    Didn't Stephens audition for CR, as well?
    Did he? Would have been interesting with a former villain actor ending up playing the hero himself.
    Ultimately, he did get to play Bond, after all. ;)

    Just not on the screen.

    Of course – and he certainly has the Bond voice!

    As well as the look. I could easily imagine him as Fleming's Bond.

    No doubt about that. Is it just me, or did we have more potential Bond actors around the time Craig got the part?

    He plays a commando in Hunter Killer and was excellent.

    Yes, we did. By George, we did.

    I've been meaning to see that for quite sometime.

    If Babs & Co think they had it difficult replacing Brosnan – taking the franchise in a different direction, then they certainly don't have an easier job this time around.

    (which is why Bond 26 interest me a bit more than Bond 25, to be honest)

    The so-called "candidates" that I see today do frighten me big time.

    We're stuck with either nightclub bouncers or effeminate undergrown boy band guys.

    I don’t know, I’m ready for a bit of a change. I wouldn’t mind a DAF type out of shape Bond. Something different and unexpected, especially for Craig’s Bond.

    If Craig in Bond 25 look anything like DAF Connery, I'll have a genuine laugh out loud moment! :D
    And Connery still looks more Bondian in that pic than Craig at his best. Just a testament to Connery being the real deal. Everyone else is an imitator. Only Moore can give Connery any serious competition when it comes to the ideal cinematic Bond.

    Moore is my favourite actually, and a big part of that is that he didn't try to copy Connery – he just went ahead and did it differently.
    Dalton is mine because he didn’t do what Connery or Moore did

    Shame he only did a couple of films!

    For me it’s really a toss-up between Connery and Moore. I guess it all depends on my mood. Though I’ll say that Connery in GF is the ultimate representation of 007, especially in that white dinner jacket. Will never be topped!

    Wouldn't argue with Connery being the ultimate representation of 007 in GF, but instead of the white dinner jacket, it's the navy blue suit he wears when he gets the Aston Martin that makes it the ultimate representation for me. Moore of course had the 70's fashion to "struggle" with.

    Makes me wonder how the tight-fitting suits of the Craig era will be looked upon in the future.



    Well with Dalton it’s a mixed bag for me his two films are near perfect but let’s look at the Craig era (or at least how I view it)

    Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace are top notch but Skyfall and Spectre are meh to worse true he could pull it out with Bond 25

    But the same thing nearly happened with Dalton

    I’m sorry but The Property of a Lady would of been abysmal Bond fighting a Sex-bot is all I need to know about the film to know it would of jumped the shark in a way that made Die another Day and Moonraker feel flemingesque

    What?! :-O

    @Torgeirtrap There is an unused treatment for a third Dalton Bond film involving Bond fighting robots. This was news to me pretty recently.

    This is a laugh out loud kind of comment, but then you look at the names mentioned recently…

    If it’s not effects heavy it could be a relatively fast period of principle photography, with a similar post production.

    I don’t see it being effects heavy, one thing I am worried about is CF’s lack of movie experience, especially with a huge budget. Hopefully he isnt overwhelmed. Storywise I am not worried.

    This is my concern too. Even a film with half the budget of SP would be orders of magnitude bigger than anything he's worked on in the past. His actual skill at lensing, guiding actors, storytelling - none of that is in question. But his ability to herd cats and cut through all the nonsense of such a huge machine while focusing on the film . . . that's a different skill.

    That's why it's called acting.

    Craig was hardly a frontrunner when chosen. No need to worry. Enjoy B25!

    Please don't say such things. @PanchitoPistoles will descend upon this thread with his inexhaustible, hyperdramatic and irrational fear mongering.

    Sorry. It’s just hard to be anything but with the way this production has developed thus far.

    Yes, a chance. The working title is (was?) Shatterhand.

    Why? Just kick back and relax. Watch some Bond films, or M.I :-).

    I think it’d be more tolderable if there was a new video game. I used to love playing Bond video games.

    Or read some Bond stories, books or comics. There will probably be a new film around when you finally finish them.

    I don't understand the negativity, other than boredom or naysaying.

    The franchise is still in better shape than it has been in decades. Craig has reinvigorated the role. Mendes has stepped aside and we have a up-and-coming, young, dare I say Young-like, new director. I expect the mistakes of SP to be quickly swept aside and for Bond to get on with business, as usual.

    Because the era has been plagued by long years inbetween films. Especially when most people agree that two of the 4 are “not that good”.

    It's really the long gaps that bother me the most and lack of motivation to get the films back on some sort of reliable schedule. Makes me skeptical we'll even get another full era with a new 007 once Craig officially resigns.
