Like I said it's such common practise that I don't know why it's considered particularly problematic with Nolan. Also, Nolan mostly does that with supporting roles.
Besides, would a director really have that much to say about the Bond actor, anyway? I certainly wouldn't think so.
A part of me really hopes Turner is cast as the next Bond just so that all your broadcasting is worthwhile and also because seeing you so obstinately stick by your hopes in the face of so many doubters would be a huge victory of "I told you so" for you.
Mendes said in 2012 that Skyfall was inspired by The Dark Knight.

Silva was similar in personality to The Joker, with a bit of Two-Face thrown in (when he took out his dentures).
Newman's score in parts of Skyfall (such as Bond hanging below the elevator) are similar to Zimmer's scores for Nolan.
As for Nolan and Mendes, never saw it at all. Except some plot points that were "inspired". That doesn t make them similar, as @Creasy47 said.
I do feel a few things should be followed that Fleming put out though
1. Bond must be contemporary: Fleming himself always tried to keep bond of the times hence Ursula Andress showing up in On Her Majestiees Secret Service. IFP should take note of this (as the last few peirod bond novels were well quite bad although I haven't picked up Trigger Morris but after Solo I don't know I am very afraid I will drag through another bore fest)
2. Bond must be entertaining: again even though Goldfinger (both novel and if I am being honest film in certain parts) is boring Fleming still tried to be entertaining (something that can't be said for Boyd) the novels and films were well entertaining
3. Bond must be somewhat serious: even Fleming had some goofy characters and demises of characters (death by guano how the Moore films didn't touch that one is beyond me) but at the core of each novel was a serious down to earth plot that I feel the film makers lose from time to time (if I never have another world domination plot or satellite weapon in a bond movie I will be quite happy)
4. But don't forget to have fun: again even in fleming's novels the Spang brothers the death by guano as mentioned earlier Fleming did have fun with the character and so should the film makers
I wish :)
Seriously though I don't believe Turner is the next bond
Agreed. If Turner gets it, it'll have been the result of winning out in a multi-tiered search for the next Bond, with a list of, at the very least, tens of actors if not hundreds. Then there'll be the screen tests , if he's so lucky as to be invited to do one of those. We are a long way from that point, especially only 4 months after the home video release of the previous film and no distributor moving forward
He could get the part, but it won't be because ofanything that the tabloids have said thus far, most of which has been based on the musings of a bookie. We're still very much in the opening stages of a long process, if there's even a search being conducted at all.
:-&
Seriously, we're still falling for this stuff? In a world this dangerous, only proven by what's happened in Orlando, any stupidity or naivete on the borderline of stupidity must be crushed out. We've got to be on guard, folks, no matter if its regarding national/world security or Bond, and those who believe the word of bookmakers don't fit that ideal. Now, I'm not proposing a Hitler-like response where we wipe them all out; let's not get crazy here. I'm simply suggesting that, how about, every once in a while, we push a book their way?
So Turner is NOT a Nobody in comparison to DC in 2006. Interesting.
And He is the one, WHO will bring back the excitement gone since CR days.
Your absence for a while hasnt made your posts any better. Still the same """"". IF by all means you cant help but be all over Turner spare uns the stupid remarks directed at DC AND others just to make your guy the shining saving grace of the franchise. Its ridiculous and nothing worthy of applause.
...and of course, Nolan would be over the Moon to work with him. Lets See your crystal ball
Which there is none of. Over the last few months, I've started to sympathize and agree with those that called for this thread to be shut down until the real news and developments started pouring in.
A bookie said so. Must be true then.
What about it?
Very few of the links to news in the 253 pages of this thread has been 'actual' news. Let's be honest.
