Craig may not have been the frontrunner but he still looked the part in some way that today’s actors don’t.
He worked with Judi Dench on an adaption of Jane Eyre a few years back. Though, I suspect he's in London on Bond business.
Since at least 1971, every other Bond film has not been very good: DAF, TMWTGG, etc. So this isn't exactly a new trend...and I still think Craig's four are better than any four of Moore's, or Brosnan's four. Connery's first four are tops, but they had full novels to adapt back then. And they had Maibaum.
I maintain that Fukunaga will find a way to have Dench in B25. Some way, somehow.
They are keeping a very tight lip on it, Trust me everything is going ok.
@DonnyDB5 same here I miss the video games too
Which two have we agreed are not that good?
It's a combination thing. Some will say the Mendes flicks, others, QOS and SP. Me, I find merit in all of them. As well as flaws. And i do appreciate Sam Mendes contribution; they were very fun times to be a Bond fan.
So Craig is 3 of 4 for me.
Or, if they do, they can't agree which two. ;)
Can't see it listed on there.
I'd say CR & SF are seen as the hits in the public sphere and the other two are generally seen as misses. Craig pretty much ensured that lasting narrative about SP at least with his now infamous remark about 'a high', which I've always found strange from a PR standpoint.
Not since Oct. 3.

I'm still waiting for word on who he'll hire as his DP. Does anyone with film business ties know who this'll be?
I love Judi Dench. Craig always said her sense of humor on set of Bond was great. Apparently she tells very dirty jokes, and swears like a sailor.
This isn't a bad idea. The comics put out by Dynamite in recent years have been terrific. They're not films but work really well as para-texts...a la Spider-man into the Spider-verse.
I just looked and there is no mention of Bond25 at all in November. I'm not worried, more intrigued. Seems to fit with a more tightlipped approach to production.
Madeline is Bonds foster sister
Hinx is Bond's real brother.
...as I've been saying for years.
Haines should have been C.
1. Casino Royale: Here, Bond is an idealistic rookie who fails to comprehend the big picture. He has his heart broken and learns the hard way that the world is not black-and-white. Also, he someone who struggles with decisions he’s made, especially killing people.
2. Quantum of Solace: Following the events of the last films, Bond is angry, cold and isolated. Is he looking for revenge or closure?
3. Skyfall: Here, Bond starts the film as wiser and more self-assured. However, he quickly becomes older and more antiquated. 007 is very much a seasoned vet who is past his peak and growing obsolete.
4. Spectre: After proving those who doubted his competence wrong, Bond is back in full-form and more driven than we have previously seen. He falls in love again and doors that he previously thought closed are reopened. He is content to not kill the villain (the ‘bigger picture’) and retire with beautiful woman (the exact inverse of CR).
In many, Spectre was an ‘ending’ of sorts. It closed off the Craig films.
However, since Craig is coming back. I think we’ll almost certainly see an older and more grizzled Bond. Someone on his last legs. If all rumours of Boyle’s exit are to be believed, Bond will die. I can imagine that Craig will aim to give an Oscar-worthy performance as Bond. It’ll be that kind of movie. We’ll also likely see the end of Whishaw, Fiennes and Harris’s tenures. This will work as a finale on the Craig era. Then we reboot with a new director and perspective.
For naysayers and people who disapprove of the more angsty Bond. His death won't be permaent like say Luke Skywalker's and canon hardly matters with Bond films. You can rejoice in knowing that the series will reboot with a more ‘fun’ approach. I think Eon will steer clear of doom and gloom and get a Christopher McQuarrie/Edgar Wright-type for Bond 26. The Christopher Nolan-Bond has already been done with Craig.
