I do enjoy it very much so. :)
@IGUANNA, if you put Turner into a Bond fan-fiction, I'm assured I'll never be able to look at you the same way again.
Fassbender
Turner
eh.... that's it. I like Hardy, but I don't see him as Bond. I cannot stand Hiddleston; he is a major turnoff for me, for whatever reason. Idris would have been a great Bond, if younger; but he isn't, so that needs to just all go away. Any others mentioned seem so .... meh.
I would only assume that judging from Turner's past acting jobs, your fiction would have to portray him as shirtless more than half the time he's in the role to retain consistency, and that's just not the secret agent way.
Glad you haven't. :D
These would be my first picks, too. I wouldn't discard Hiddleston, though.
Given the uninspired remaining choices, I'm more open to someone completely under the radar. A relative unknown with the potential to breakout like Sean.
I just strongly would prefer that he be more physically in keeping with what I expect from film James Bond (dark hair, 6ft 1 or thereabouts, reasonably well built, have a strong & distinctive voice, and must look relatively rugged but also suave).
6ft is enough.
(That's my height, I like to think I'm Bond-like. B-) )
That's what Mendes hinted at and that's what I hope we get.
The one thing I do expect Babs to get right is the next Bond casting.
Of course she does also need to get a great writing team next time round too but I suspect that the casting of the new Bond is the first priority to then determine what direction they go in.
I wouldn't necessarily be displeased with Hiddleston but at the moment it seems too obvious, although that never stopped Moore and Brosnan being appointed.
The PM's. I sent you one PM with a warning for your comments. And to tell you that we've had complaints about your behaviour. Stop being so over dramatic. Posting across the forum like some school kid who's been told off by a teacher.
It's very childish @Mendes4Lyfe
This one made me laugh out loud:
I don't like the idea of Hardy but getting his last bond flick at 50 is not an impediment.
Brosnan started at 40 and ended at 49 while Craig he started at 38 and of its true Spectre was the last one he would have finished at 50.
Actually I still want them to keep going with 40 something actors but the next one just more conventionally good looking.
The more I think about the more I like Michael Fassbender. He is the most universally appealing
I bet he has supporters from all the fans of the previous Bond actors.
Hahaha! Just watched that first one. My favorite part was "...and action sequences that make you feel like you're playing GoldenEye N64 on Agent difficulty."
I certainly agree with this. I actually do feel once the next Bond is cast Eon will at least attempt to keep the films at somewhat regular intervals so a 40ish actor would be fine. Fassbender is cool....I could probably now be okay with Hardy as well. I personally want the next actor's last film to be when he is over 50 like Roger circa FYEO. Just to give his Bond some longevity.
Yes 40 years old or late 30s it's perfect otherwise they look too immature or green to play Bond.
Everyone whi is favor of a younger Bond mentions Sean Connery as an example but it was another decade.
Right now actors in their early 30s still look vey young, actually some 40 year old actors can pass as 30 something examples Chris Hemsworth and alexander Skarsgard.
So it's important to go for a late 30s the youngest.
Even Pierce looked a little too young in Goldeneye he barely passed as a 40 year old actors. In Tomorrow never dies he finally got fully into his Bond look so nooooo please no young Bond.
I agree with this. I don't see why we need a super young actor anymore. It's just a lot of old fashioned thinking. Bond should look weathered, and most 30 something year olds these days don't look weathered enough.
I agreed. I prefer a seasoned experienced Bond.
Most actors today don't get a lived in look until they are into their forties. These 30 year old candidates look like they could still be living at home with their folks and pretty much never getting laid. I want to believe instantly that when 007 enters a casino, oozing confidence that he can bed any woman there and fight and kill the henchman in the same evening. I don't want a James Bond that looks like he'd be more comfortable in his basement playing Guitar Hero.

Is Turner high-profile enough to be Bond? He dosen't quite have the same clout or the plaudits as Hiddleston or Elba.
Rumor, speculation, guesswork, that's all it is. Guess they have a 'Bond rumor' quota to meet.
