The current Omega line, nice though it is, is becoming overly stylized imho. Fashion for the sake of fashion. Moreover, changing the watch every film seems a bit overdone. I even liked how Brosnan wore one style consistently during his tenure.
Still, like you I'd still prefer Rolex due to the connection to Fleming, the novels and the early Bond films (up to LTK with some digression for the chintzy quartz Seikos and Citizens during Roger's middle tenure).
Sorry, what is nonsense? I state that it's likely to be 5 years between Spectre and Bond 25. This is very likely. I said Danel Craig appeared burnt out. His "ennui" is very, very well documented. I state that action franchises John Wick and Mission Impossible have continued momentum and are entertaining action fans (much in the same way that Bond films of old did). Do you dispute this? I talked about escapism and the historic and important role Bond has in keeping us all entertained. Is this not also true? And lastly, I talk about my disappointment that we, as fans, are not served as well as we should be. The gap between movies is too long. This is my feeling as a long time Bond fan. And, as it's my opinion, which I am entitled to, it's hardly nonsense.
I also agree that the gaps are way too long these days.
But why is it 2 years starting from now? We already know EON have met with actors so why is the process only just beginning?
@dominicgreene I want to see that, badly. But based on what I've heard of the film, I would definitely consider the possibility.
At this point of time I am convinced again that Craig will make his final movie starting this year. They have all chances to pick the best things from all his Bond movies and end on a high note. Spectre cooled my enthusiasm a bit but since I know they can do better I am sure next time they will do so. And maybe keeping things quiet is a good thing to do and avoid leaks like the last time.
I love your enthusiasm, and I hope you're correct.
Stephen: Now you just did a play -- you did a othello with Daniel Craig?
David: I did, here in New York.
Stephen: Okay. Now, he's no longer going to be bond, right? We don't know who the next bond is going to be.
David: We don't know that?
Stephen: What? I heard he's not going to do it anymore.
David: Really?
Stephen: That's what I heard. I know what I heard, David Oyelowo.
David: Well, I don't know. I have been in a dressing room for him for three months, so I don't know about that.
DC was in great shape in 'Othello', so in that regard it would make sense if he did Bond 25 before 'Purity', but obviously somany things seemingly have to fall into place in such a short amount of time.
Guys, this is huge! This is the closest we've come to any confirmation Craig will be returning. David practically confirmed it right then and there.
"We don't know (who the next Bond actor will be)"
Then David tries to cover up what he said by saying "Well, I don't know."
More so the comment: "I've been in a dressing room with him for three months, so I don't know about that." I think the implication there is that he's not so sure Craig is retiring the role after all.
He wore the Submariner in LALD but also his Hamilton Pulsar, and various Seikos. His best one imo was his AVTAK Seiko.
It would likely be his last and you can just imagine all the pathos and angst someone like Mendes would love to pack into the film.
Noooooo thanks.
One more would hurt Craig's tenure. Considerably.
Off the top of my head:
Clive Owen (old)
Tom Hardy
Henry Cavill (would be bland, yes)
Michael Fassbender (perhaps too small)
