The most (and dare I say, total) Bondian he looked in any of his parts was in Haywire, from the suits right down the hairstyle, attitude, hell even had a drinking and smoking habit in it. If they get these elements strictly as they are incorporated into his Bond, suppose he's playing that is, I'm all too fine with it.
There is still something that puts me off from thinking of Fassbender as Bond and I'm not sure why.
Villeneuve would be my choice, with Joe Kraemer doing the score, and either Adele or Lana Del Rey on title song duties. I'd cast Emily Blunt as the Bond girl and Benecio Del Toro as the main villain.
Yep.
I don't think he would roll over in his grave with the way the series has become because it has made so much money, but I agree. If he was still running the show Craig would of been on his 6th Bond movie already imo
No. Just no. Not for Bond.
I think he's the only director who could bring back this 'zany' (to use @BondJames words) atmosphere that Guy Hamilton infused in his Bond films :-). Just look at "The Man From UNCLE" (underrated film!). As a matter of fact, Guy Ritchie basically lives the style of a classic Bond director :-).
Not sure I want zany Guy Hamilton style back in my Bonds ...
The problem is Guy Richie is all style and zero substance. I'd hate it if he was given Bond.
IMO the 'style - no substance' element truly kicked off with Guy Hamilton. So what's wrong with that? Hamilton didn't let Bond marry or let Bond's gf commit suicide. No, he thought bigger and larger than life, especially style-wise! For instance the torturee sequence in GF. He replaced the original circular saw from the novel with a fancy....laser. Just an example. Is that bad? I don't think so. Not if you love the Hamilton-Bond-films and his women-in-bikini's, crocs, a gadget-laden DB5, more lasers,
Just to give credit where credit's due, it was Richard Maibaum who first brought up getting rid of the buzz saw in Goldfinger and replacing it with a laser beam. ("The buzz saw must go.") It was part of a detailed memo Maibaum wrote to Broccoli and Saltzman. The memo was quoted in detail in the 1998 book Adrian Turner on Goldfinger.
I think Barbara is doing this play thing because she knows she has a limited time to work with. They can't afford to hang around, so she is doing all she can to try and get Craig back, but it has to be for a 2018 release.
