He's taken the 007 role quite seriously, and, if BB offers him another producing credit, I just have more faith now that he'll come back. He'll be that far more removed from SP, rejuvenated in being gone awhile and playing other diverse roles, and will tackle his fifth Bond film with vigor.
Like you, just a feeling I have (and still feel that EoN would allow their man to wander off for a while (as they did with Mendes), and would let him star in a potentially acclaimed series from the revered novelist Jonathan Franzen; this project is, once again, potentially, more rewarding than say something like C&A, and they let him do that (and that was supposed to spawn a franchise)).
Untill tomorrow when Fassbender is announced as the new 007 lol
Oy vey, this baselessness again...
Not to be offensive here, but reading your posts sometimes can be like reading the comments of an eight year old. So quick to believe, despite everything to the contrary. Your reaction to this Turner business, no disrespect to the man, is like watching a kid rejoice on Christmas Eve, shouting "Santa was here! Santa was here!" while all those around them just let the kid believe, instead of crushing his dreams and sharing that they were the ones who actually got the presents for him and ate the milk and cookies meant for the big man.
I can't help but get a headache from it all, really. It is very much like watching a gaggling group of teenage girls talk about a boy they all like, or bigfoot hunters trying to persuade the world that their life has been spent in pursuit of something real. Every day, someone, usually you, makes a comment about how things are really moving and EON are getting out Bond 25 at lightning speed, but with absolutely no information/sources other than rag journalism to rely on (let's not forget, these same people were pushing Damien Lewis). Getting by on hopes, dreams and faith may work in the movies, but in the real world it has no practical place. Things don't just happen because you desire them to. Certain factors must fall into place, like, say, a distribution deal. You know, the thing many here with their dream castings fail to realize is still an issue, a roadblock in the way of their chosen actor realizing their Bond destiny, yada yada yada.
It's going to be very hard for me not to say "I told you so" about a million times in a post the day it's announced that Dan is signed for Bond 25. I'm really going to do my damnedest that day to resist the temptation, but I'm certainly not daring enough to make any promises.
Ha ha, glad it's not just me who's bored of the pre-school nonsense.
Cleary you need to remain the man of our trust - to behave like a gent - always. ;;)
I'll do it for you. My reputation allows some nastyness, I believe. B-)
Hold on a minute, though...
All I said was he was the favourite. If you look at the odds, that is the case. If you think the information is incorrect or misrepresentative in some way, direct your frustration at the poster of the article, or the writer of the article itself. Don't blame me for any mistakes.
Perhaps that could satisfy everyone and still allow healthy discussion to continue here, because until we are told otherwise, all we have really is rumour & opinion (which as I've said before, I personally don't have any problem discussing), and Craig is still the incumbent.
It's not voting, it's betting. Slightly different.
Yep. Cuz honestly this is the only fact we know for sure. He's still Bond. Period. End of story, that's that. And most would agree he is in fact contracted for a 5th film. Done and done.
True
Hold on a minute, though...
All you said was...
Exactly. Have you read the article yet? He is the favourite. I didn't have a hand in those numbers.
The funny (there's a far more honest world I'd like to use) thing is, whether Turner was the leader of the pack or barely holding on to the rankings by his fingertips, you'd be reacting in the same exact way. Hence people's confused reactions at this continual celebration for Turner winning the role by some here. It borders religious worship, and I hate to say it, but Turner isn't Jesus.
I don't dispute the information as much as I laugh in its face. This is all glorified dream casting where no choice will ever matter, because, once again, Dan is the incumbent Bond and nothing has shown us that he isn't coming back. And, the chances are far higher that he is for those who understand the man.
And that's exactly what makes him so popular. It would be wonderful.
Tom Hardy has been the favourite, Idris has, Hiddleston has, if IRRC Turner has been a previous favourite back in the new year. Nothing is 'happening'.
I'm happy for you. I like Turner as well.
What sense or reason would be against Turner as Bond exactly?
He is not worse or better than Hiddy, Fassbender or Hardy.
All I want is for them to sort out the darn distributor thing, get a kick 'a' director, a superior script, devise some stunning action scenarios worthy of Bond, and move forward quickly with a new film, ideally for a late 2018 release.
That's really all I want.
