Might quit the series if it is Piddleston.
You're right, the Nolan Batman films were REALLY bad :/
Does your hatred for him really outweigh your love for the Bond franchise as a whole?
I said "might" :) There'll be other factors in play - director, story, supporting cast etc. And if they can put together a great trailer where they play the Bond theme over footage of Piddles and I don't cringe, then who knows! But right now I just can't summon up any enthusiasm for the guy. His look, his personality, his body of work, it's all offputting to me.
Like those Connery fans that never returned. Can't please everybody.
I'll stick with either way. If I can stomach SP I can truly call myself die-hard.
Edit: I Get the joke now.
I'm sure I shall continue to enjoy the performance of the next guy...... and the
Next ........ and the ............ :))
Yes it's a bit contradictory. I said I would understand it, but I wouldn't quit myself. I would certainly give the guy a chance, whoever it is. I hope it makes more sense now.

That's a very important point. If that's indeed the direction they go, then the search was short and couldn't have been going on as long as some would suggest. I would be very hesitant if they get both of them, as it just looks like they're trying to copy something that was hot at the moment they began the search.
Again, assuming that there's any truth to this. I'm inclined to take the source at their original stance of not believing it unless EON says it's so.
A studio would, certainly. And there is no studio yet. I still find it odd that they're apparently hiring a new actor before a studio, script, or director is in place.
Who says they don't have those?
I think the odds are in favor of them not having those things in place. Some kind of word about the deal would have gotten out if there was a deal in place, or if one was imminent. We've pretty much heard nothing about it.
Of course, MGM could have figured out how to keep everything under wraps, but given the outright incompetency of that studio, I would tend to doubt it. If EON was the one running the negotiation, then I might believe it a bit more, but not MGM.
Because it would have been reported (whether EON liked it or not). All of those things are very big deals, meetings would have been known about and discussed on deadline, Variety etc.
Not interested in the slightest in his Turner fluffing. Just thought it's rather strange that when some teenage work experience Jnr hack working for TV Quick magazine posts that a bookie in The Cook Islands has taken a 4p bet on Turner he's on here in 5 seconflat declaring it as fact.
But this, which is the closest we've had to a reputable source, comes out and he's nowhere to be seen. One might be inclined to think the guy is a worse loser than Ronaldo. Or has hanged himself.
If it turns out to be Hiddlestone I guess I'll be reasonably happy with it. He's the best of a mediocre field.
I'd sooner DC stay and would've preferred Fassbender, but if the change has to be made they could do a lot worse.
I didn't think much of him pre the Night Manager but I think in that he showed he had the suaveness and acting chops to do a reasonable job. Not totally convinced whether or not he can pull off the ruthless killer which I'm sure Fass could do in his sleep but I'm happy to give him a chance.
Deadline did mention this at the end of May:
There have been no negotiations on where the Bond movie will land (Sony or Warner Bros. are out front on this) and although it was thought that negotiations might start after the first quarter 2016, parties are not likely to engage in negotiations until later this year. There is no workable script yet and the creative elements have yet to come into place.
Yes I do agree that seems odd. Never happened that way before, but then we don't know all going on.
Maybe some spec script MGM on there on ...who knows, but a known actor may help.
Just out of order. How do you pitch a movie with no script, director, and just a star?
