That would be the most likely scenario. A damn shame albeit understandable if true, though.
TLD was the last Bond movie with no direct personal element @shamanimal. My bet is that it'll carry on after Craig whoever replaces him.
I really hope he does, but I’m finding it unlikely. We should know in a month or so.
It's all coming together, folks!
Brilliant casting.
And at some point in one of those articles they state Fukunaga's script was great and that no significant rewrites were made to it. That, if true, is stellar news.
I'd love to see him and Lupita in the film. Magnussen I'm not too sure about though.
The other casting roles do intrigue me. But Malek being a near-lock is my favorite news so far for today. I know not everyone’s a fan of the idea but I’d like to see a younger Bond villain.
My feelings exactly, @FoxRox.
Also, don't rule out a Leiter return just because they are casting a 'CIA agent who crosses paths with Bond'.
Agree.
And add me to the list of those happy with Malek. Thrilled, even. A young, intriguing actor with incredible screen presence at the top of his game - literally days off his first Oscar win. If the Bond brand needed at all to make a statement about its clout in the business and its relevance in a crowded field of competition, it's done it definitively with that single bit of casting.
The great Barbara Broccoli, indeed.
Exactly, Beam and Leiter both appeared in QOS. Beam being someone who was against Bond, whilst Felix remained an ally.
Would really like Jeffrey Wright to return, he's a great actor, and one of the best Leiter's we've had. Also has good chemistry with Craig.
Malek being cast would hardly be a surprise, but most welcome.
I can agree things are finally getting excited. The delay destroyed all my excitement for a while but for the first time the film really seems to be taking shape.
AVTAK 2020 incoming! :-D
YES!!! I hope!
Wouldn't go banco on that "blind villain". I think they took that out from the Never Dream of Dying/Shatterhand rumours from last year.
...and people probably know how much I love that film and Sylvia Hoek's character.
Me too! We need an exciting adventure this time around.
I'm very happy with the news that they got Rami Malek. Amazing actor and a real talent. I'm very hyped that he will be Bond 25's villain. This is a huge upgrade on Christoph Waltz and equals (perhaps even surpassing slightly) the hype of Javier Bardem.
Billy Magnussen is a very left-field name. Maybe with America being less than trustworthy on the world stage, they have a sleazy and corrupt CIA character in the film. I've only ever seen Magnussen play 'bros' in films such as Ingrid Goes West and Velvet Buzzsaw. He's the guy who provides comedic relief and is usually fairly unremarkable. He's doesn't inspire heaps of faith, but clearly has a relationship with Fukunaga.
Yes. Basically Burns is polishing Fukunaga’s script.
So the drama regarding Burns rewriting the whole thing was just pointless. Especially because you can’t rewrite a whole script in just one month. Glad to know they were satisfied with Fukunaga’s work.
