(Yes, I am aware that Connery is 30/31 in Dr No, but he looked much older)
Okay, fair enough. I don't know him at all. But I did say "sort of stupid if he already knew" the answer which is what other people here were saying.
Hello there! :) No offence intended on my part (see my comment above as well), I assumed from what others said that you already knew the answer to your question. Additionally, I have extremely little interest in clothing brands (and have never even heard of the names you just mentioned), and I hate shopping for clothes (sometimes one just has to endure it). I could talk with someone days and never even think of asking about such stuff. Clearly it's something that fascinates you, though, so why not ask about it.
I'm sure it was a great experience to have been there, glad you enjoyed it and also got a reply you were happy with. And welcome.
As far as I know, Brosnan had a very good working relationship with EON. Different to Craig, understandably, but then Craig stands alone in that regard (and I include Sean and Roger in that).
I think I'm in the minority but I'm not impressed with DC at the moment. I don't get the feeling he takes Bond very seriously. True he's part of the family, true there are accounts of him being extremely devoted, but I'm tired of Craig's laissez-faire teh-hee I got a free Aston Martin attitude. He just never gives me the impression he really cares about Bond. Maybe that's a good thing, to have someone a bit dispassionate. All I can say is Daniel Craig has been increasely disappointing me outside of Bond, I wish I knew as much as back in 2006.
I would be willing to believe there's more true teamwork than in other "Hollywood Connections" that portray themselves like it.
Anyway - I don't see any Bondfilm in 2017 so maybe by next year we will be talking about real progress.
Isn't it unbelieveable how many classics they put on the screen in those early years but in such a short period of time? The movies have been BIG in their production, good scripts were required and sets built and stunts coordinated ... It definitely came with a price tag especially for Connery ... But just astonishing having movies like DN, FRWL, GF and TB all just one year after another!
I'm not saying he didn't, just that in many ways Daniel's relationship with EON has led to a more involved partnership between Barbara, MGW and their Bond actor.
True. Also these are different times than the nineties or early 00s.
Nowadays it's almost normal for actors/actresses also being producers, producing the movies they star in. It happens all the time. So Craig being a co-producer in Spectre is nothing extraordinary.
Agreed.
+1
Turner is fantastic. I did know this since 2008 when Being Human aired its first series. But since seeing Poldark it is obvious he is perfect, even as young as he is now.
EON for sure is having him on their short list. How could they not. In the end various things will decide who will play Bond next.
Turner may not even be available when the time comes. The same goes for Hiddleston and Fassbender anyway.
Aidan Turner channels some serious Connery nowadays and I'm pretty sure once he is going on 40 he will look fantastic and be the closest to Fleming's vision since Dalton.
It is fashionable to naysay Turner on this forum. Out there Turner is noticed, even here in Switzerland where my work colleagues frequently ask and tell "have you seen Poldark the new series, that Turner guy looks like James Bond!"
Hiddleston on the other hand still is viewed as Loki here as his other stuff is not known very well in the German-language region.
The Night Manager went more or less unnoticed here sadly. Poldark on the other hand will pop up on Netflix Germany/Switzerland and then have an even more huge audience that it already has on free TV.
Exactly! Turner is in that delicate sweet spot between being unknown to the public and being too famous to be any use to the franchise. He's just what EON will being looking for once Craig leaves, if he already hasn't.
Yup :/
Certainly, it's a sign of the times.
What about ghosts?
