(I have no idea, just passing along)
Worded as rumored ...written as assumption Bond going into production and a choice would have to have been made...
Headline sensationalism..
Of course I'm not a Turner fan so hope true lol.
And so Refn was offered at some point ...at least according to Refn ...well if true or at least partially true then kudos to EoN for thinking out of the box..
Ignoring they waited for Mendes whom never really seemed to show up.
Wish Refn had ...May have been such a better outcome.

So Hiddleston is too busy being Mr Taylor Wift and Adian Turner is too busy with Poldark to be Bond. At least according to the tabloids. All silly, made-up nonsense of course.
As I keep saying, Daniel Craig IS still James Bond. He still has the option on one more movie. He hasn't said he's leaving (or coming back) and neither have EON. When they finally have a script in place they'll be obliged to show it to Craig first. If the script exites him he'll be back. If not then he'll bow out. I really think it's that simple.
Right now he's working on other projects but that doesn't mean he wouldn't make himself available (maybe the end of next year) for shooting if the script excites him.
I felt the same way about Craig's interview antics as well though, to be honest (meaning I was displeased). PS: - I met up with my sister and brother in law the other day. I hadn't seen them for some time. First thing my brother in law asks me is about Craig: "So I hear Craig is out. So who's the next Bond? Apparently they offered him a s#!^ load of money and he turned it down? He's had enough". It was amusing to hear this because it's probably what most casual fans know about the current state of affairs, which is to say about as much as the rest of us.
Agreed. It's not the formula it's the execution that's under scrutiny.
Besides we have veered off the formula so much lately that a formula film done right is quite welcome in my book.
Quantum of Solace was a brilliant bond film and did this expertly.

Another day, another new actor 'hotly tipped' to be the new Bond. Betting has been suspended, blah blah blah.
Norton has the look. I think I could be convinced of his casting. He has that hint of roughness to him, however, I fear he may be too much of a posh boy. I haven't seen him act but from a few snaps I reckon he could work. He's slightly reminiscent of a young Daniel Craig...
Also the news that Turner signing to another series of Poldark rules him seems like tabloids fishing for a story. Bond 25 won't arrive till 2018 at the earliest. The second series of Poldark filmed earlier this year and arrives this autumn. Turner could still film Poldark series 3 at the same timeframe and make it for filming of the new Bond.
All this tabloid chatter and odds taking is doing my head in....just cast Tom Hardy already!
Though there is one name that odds-takers have that is intriguing....and he's available:

Little Jimmy Norton huh? Interesting choice. =))
I have to disagree with yourself and Ajay on this one. This may be one of those flash in the pan romances (likely) in which case it will probably have little bearing, but I don't think he has done himself any favours. The public buy into this bullshit and his personal 'narrative' will have a bearing on how he is perceived going forward, especially if there is any longevity to this relationship. We only need to look at Craig's infamous quotes during SP to see that these personal narratives snowball on social media and through click-bait articles. That's part of the reason I don't buy the Rog comparison. This is unnecessary baggage for any potential candidate. The public like their Bond to act like Bond, not someone who is auditioning for the latest incarnation of High School Musical.
I thought Hiddlestone might be a realistic choice but I don't think EON would be too happy with how he's acting. I can't see it happening anymore personally.
