Let's steer the conversation towards possible casting suggestions...
What direction do we think Eon will go with the female MI6 agent? There is certainly an argument that the agent should be younger (especially, if she doesn't have a romantic relationship with Bond). Could they hire an actress in her 20's?
Let's assume that Lupita Nyong'o was up for the other role in the film - as she's a Kenyan-American actress - and this role is likely looking to cast a Brit. (Though, the same was the case with Vesper Lynd and they cast a French actress.............)
There are numerous interesting young actresses from the UK who could nab such a role if they went younger. For example:
Naomi Scott
Sophie Cookson
Herminone Corfield
Ella Balinska
Florence Pugh
Anya Taylor-Joy
I have a personal preference to Naomi Scott - she's a star on the rise with some notable projects in 2019.
If they went a little older, they could gun for a bigger name. I suppose someone who we haven't mentioned in a while is Emma Stone. Who after The Favourite proved she could do a great English accent, plus she has a connection to Fukunaga. Now with Waller-Bridge's involvement and the more modern approach suggested, someone like Stone may be interested.
There's also, the thought that they may want an actress who is better suited to Craig's age. Though, she is still younger than Craig, someone who seems tailor-made for such a role (and would likely win over even the most unhappy of fan) would be Emily Blunt. Though she may be as painfully obvious a choice as Christoph Waltz was for Blofeld.
Personally, I think Rachel Weisz(who has had a social media renaissance this Oscar season) is the perfect candidate. Though she may not want to work on such a high-profile film with her husband. Though she needs to be a villain at some point in a Bond film - perhaps when the memory of Craig is further enough way.
Have to say she excites me in many ways, more than any of the ones posted above (though they would all do a good job of any role in a Bond film, for sure). James was great in Baby Driver, and was a decent Cinderella too.
Then Bond could take the bloody shot.
+1
I suspect Bond will have @fanbond123 view as well in the actually film. The new 007 will tell him to get over it and assist on the mission.
Much in the same way that M called out Bond as a sexist dinosaur in Goldeneye.
Bond, as a character, won’t all of a sudden be “progressive”. He’ll have his antiquated view questioned by others in the context of the story.
Naomi Scott would be great as a new spy
She’s waiting to become a movie star
Anything printed 007 trademarks don't matter to James Bond I guess it won't happen end of story let's discuss something else.
I had to google Perdita Weeks, and I don't see it. I do see a vague resemblance between Perdita Weeks, and Kelly Brook, though.
We'll start going off topic here, but...Most of CR is filmed indoors on sets, some of which look awful. The embassy explosion scene is the most dreadful-looking set in the DC era, by far, with fake painted trees in the backgound. Exterior shots are few and far between and standard stuff--except the overhead shots of the construction site. To me, great cinematography usually comes from the exterior shots; art direction is the signature of interior shots. CR is solidly in my top 4, but it isn't a well-shot film by any stretch of the imagination.
Sorry to disappoint you but your fantasy won't be happening she is just there to add humor Anything printed 007 is a gimmick I guess it should say James Bond instead. People don't have to accept your opinions because what they will be ridiculed to death for they believe. Leave others opinions alone I'm sick and tired of coming on here and having to repeat this seems like I'm the only one who keeps having enforce this. @Pierce2Daniel
True but I said 'IF' but we will see
I agree but the shots of Montenegro are as beautiful as any other entries even better than skyfall I believe sometimes.
The embassy exterior is indeed pap, but it’s still a very well lensed film on the whole, albeit falling short of the technical excellence of Deakins’ work. The action is magnificently covered - parkour being the standout, but Miami and Venice are really well framed and choreographed. I’m a particular fan of the torture scene.
I mean, I’m not forcing my view on anyone in the comment you quoted. Merely suggesting a possible story point they might utilise.
Also, if you believe the Daily Mail’s report about Waller-Bridge’s involvement, then you should give equal merit to their claim in the same report suggesting there will be a female 007.
You can’t just cherry-pick parts of the news that suit your own view and ignore or deny anything you dislike in the same story.
Otherwise, you’ll only listen to the stuff that suits and props up your own opinion.
And the shot of Valenka coming out of the water with the sunset is more beautiful than anything I saw in SP.
I don't look for gloomy looking film in Bond.
You know what I'm talking about stop saying people have to "just accept it" people don't have to accept anything. I respect your opinion and everyone else's. I'm not suggesting anything maybe the daily mail is true we don't all we do know is that they don't have a good track record besides Baz. We will find out I have more faith in the truth that is the guardian or any other trustworthy organization and they say it has nothing to pretty much do with the daily mail article. There for I'm not cherry picking my own needs I'm stating the facts and the overall likelihood. @Pierce2Daniel
I'm not saying people "just [need to] accept it". Read my post again that you quoted initially.
In actual fact, I'm quite enjoying the debate it's sprung up. I don't want to force my opinion down any one's throat, I kinda like the conversation that we are having on this forum currently. It's way more interesting than arguing over whether you like David Arnold or CR's cinematography for the 10000th time.
(Also; The Guardian article directly quotes the Daily Mail.They are still the source on this - and I agree that is unfortunate)
And imo its way more interesting than people talking about who will be next bond girl, we could at least talk about sandgren cinematography for bond 25 because he is already in it, actress you mentioned are yet to be confirmed, so with all due respect when you use words like my debate is more interesting than yours, it speaks volume.
Amen.
It’s no doubt believable.
(Still can't get this BB code editing right)
But here:
(It might be just your opinion here though can't tell though) "The new 007 will tell him to get over it and assist on the mission."
Here: What's most hilarious about your comment is the general distaste of Waller-Bridge based off the fact that she is popular and having a zeitgeisty moment.
Clearly, you haven't seen Killing Eve.
Here: There i also a school of thought, that you can't be racist to a white person. Whislt there are flaws to the argument. Much of it holds up.
Here: Complain if you feel offended. i'm just trying to speak about this intelligently.
in the meantime perhaps read this article:
Here: (Maybe here)
I’m just pointing out that there is a clear bias – which comes predominantly from white males – to maintain tradition. Mainly as tradition as institutionally protected and preserved this group.
Any perceived threat to this tradition is instantaneously treated with contempt and is outwardly rejected.
It’s clear that Bond 25 needs to disrupt the status quo. Waller-Bridge is only doing a polish of the script. Nonetheless, she’s an outwardly feminist writer who has openly spoken of “female rage” influencing her work.
Especially here: People need to get over the fact that a woman can write a Bond film and that there can be a female 007. I'm already bored of reading grown men trying to justify their misogyny with arguments of 'it's not Fleming' or 'goes against tradition'.
Fleming never intended for Bond to be an ageless miracle man who someone gets younger every decade. Yet, we not only accept it, we welcome it. Tradition would dictate that we'd never get a film as bold as CR or SF. Yet we are overjoyed when we get a great new film.
Time to accept change.
Still is when you start pushing the race thing for your agenda: Did I just make every angry white guy cry? (All qoutes from you)
Just a few there don't know how you couldn't remember all that? Like I said I respect your opinion and you can have an opinion but don't push it on people. And don't call me cherry picking I'm just going through some of the comments and if you still don't believe me ask the moderators because they called you out on it so so as other people on the thread.
