That should be the motto, I think.
Title changed.
This is an awesome trailer
In his day, I'm sure Cubby wouldn't stand for it. But the film industry is now a very different place with some of the more exciting roles on TV rather than film. The usual "rumoured" suspects Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Tom Hiddleston, Damien Lewis and Adrian Turner are all successfully juggling both TV and Movies without problems.
So far BB has done no wrong at all in that regard.
Since GoldenEye Bond has seen only success.
This is a non story.
The reason he is now favourite is because in a desperate effort to make his increasingly irritating 13-year-old-girl-at-a-One-Direction-concert fantasy of Turner as Bond become a reality @Mendes4Lyfe has just remortgaged his house and is touring round every Ladbrokes putting £5k on Turner which has sent his odds tumbling so that at the bookies, at least, he is now favourite.
It's all irrelevant as the only favourite that counts is in Babs opinion. And we all know she's almost as bad as @Mendes4Lyfe when it comes to regressing into a trembling teenager when Dan walks in the room.
The difference is that Babs is in charge of hiring Bond not @Mendes. Thank Christ.
Hear f**king hear.
I'd much rather have this than Jamie Bell or Theo James as Bond.
According to this Hiddleston is the front runner according to this article even though it means as much as what flavor of Ice Cream Daniel Craig likes.
If I'm honest I never doubted Craig as Bond, always thought it was inspired casting. All the comments about his hair and his life-jacket were just ridiculous.
Dire Another Day
Just looking at that trailer you can see how he changed look of Bond like no one else has since Connery in 1962.
I thought he was more than likely gone now I'm not so sure, as it has already been said shopping around for other actors is nothing new look at Moore later era.
One thing is for sure if he returns they have the material for an extra for the Blu ray and DVD for Bond 25 about the speculation of whether he would return or not and the actors that were mentioned and touted but Craig came back.
If Craig does return for one or two more it's likey that Hidds & Turner will be off the table by the time Craig does retire and they'll be on to the next up and comer for the role.
I know what you mean but I think you can't compare a painter to an actor when it comes to how one looks. I think for an actor, especially for a role like this, looks are quite important. You simply can't have a "dwarf" Bond, even though his acting is excellent.
This is ludicrous. Are people really suggesting a dwarf could be a credible Bond merely as long as his acting was up to scratch?
Or do some people think we should have a separate ParaBond series to give everyone a chance? Dwarf Bond, prosthetic leg Bond, wheelchair Bond, blind Bond, deaf Bond, cerebral palsy Bond? We wouldn't want to live in a society where being quadriplegic holds you back from achieving your dream of playing Bond would we?
Inclusivity is one thing but some people were born never to play Bond.
I am never going to play for England due the cruel hand fate dealt me of not being good enough at football. Life is harsh - get used to it.
I have cerebral palsy. I fully agree with you. Thanks for giving me a laugh.
I bet this title will be better than ever?
EoN makes some great calls and some bad calls. I just am not convinced their vision of the future of Bond is the same as mine.
Just saying. Not saying in a disrespectful way either.
I guess the ones betting on Craig staying are his fans( the fans who have him as his number 1 Bond) everyone else can think of both scenarios but I understand the Craig fans i didn't want Pierce to be replaced after DAD and refused to accept another actor in the role.
Maybe its part of why it took me some time to like Daniel as Bond.
Id be happy if he stays. how sad it would be that now i liked him he leaves but i wouldn't be surprised if he is replaced, i just hope to like the new guy from the beginning of his tenure I don't want to get into a vicious circle that i like the actor who is about to leave.
With Pierce i started late in the franchise, with Craig at first I didn't like him so really I don't want this become a vicious circle.
I share these sentiments. Craig is most likely the last Bond actor who is older than me as well. I kind of would like the next Bond actor to be more or less around my age (same age as Tim in Daylights). But please at least TRY to go back to every other year!
I agree, the Casino haircut looked great on Daniel. Actually his hair-do in Spectre wasn't that much different from his first outing. They should go back to that if he returns.
Craig and I are the same age.
Die Another Day "more intense, more real"..? Is Brosnan referring to the original script before Tamohori changed it and messed it all up?
Bond's "inner demons" in GE? When they referred to increased characterisation in a Bond film prior to CR, they meant about 60 seconds of dialogue or facial expressions turning a one dimensional character into a 1.2 dimensional one.
