Mark Strong's comments aren't anything revelatory but just tie in what Craig and Mendes said on completion of SP, giving everything they could and being spent forces. If there are enough things of interest to entice Craig back for one more it'll happen.
In some respects SP could have been the perfect closure for Craig but given the mixed critical reaction perhaps he could be convinced to come back and do a more compelling closure to his tenure.
Well they were spotted together at Global Citizen Festival last year. Obviously it doesn't mean they're BFFs, but clearly they still hang out together.
The only word to trust is Dan's, and until we get that there's no sense in getting in a tizzy wondering about his choice.
This time could be much better spent repeatedly moaning about the lack luster SP disc release, a hobby I've apparently taken to recently.
I agree too. :x
I like where your head's at.
Then, here's to Keeley. :D
I can't see them keeping Naomie on after Craig leaves. She'd almost certainly be older than the new Bond actor.
Indeed, in particular Britain doesn't seem to want Elba, he has had mediocre results in fan polls and surveys.
Ha! What does that have to do with anything? Maxwell was older than Connery and Lazenby and had 8 months on Moore. Besides, unless the new Bond actor looks like 6th form student chances are Harris will look younger or about the same age as whoever gets cast. I don't see Fiennes, Harris or Wishaw leaving even if Craig does tbh.
Idris Elba is too old to play Bond now. He's in his mid-forties and you do not recast without thinking 3-4 movies in advance. I am a fan of his work but seriously, he will not be Craig's successor.
This is true, but it feels like the media et al are trying to push the idea of a black Bond, not because they feel it's the right thing to do, but just to stir up controversy for the sake of it.
As you say a great Bond film is priority, and so is a great Bond. Eon won't cast a black Bond just because they feel they should, they will cast the right actor for the job. And that is how it should be.
Amen to that and I hope you're right.
Casino Royale/Quantum of solace (basically cover Fleming's bond from Casino Royale - Diamonds are forever)
Skyfall (give us bits of Fleming's Bond from From Russia with love - Goldfiner)
Spectre (gives us the first half of the spectre trilogy)
Bond 25 (2018) should gives us elements of OHMSS and You Only live twice
Bond 26 (2021) should then give us elements of The man with the gold gun (along with For Your eyes only compendium and The living daylights/octopussy's compendium)
As for Craig "looking older" again with the rise of films like Taken Run all night Non Stop and that Sean Penn film that came out 2 years ago whose name that I can't remember, an older bond wouldn't be a bad thing and craig still looks good enough that he could get girls half his age (heck my wife has a crush on Paul McCartney and he is old enough to be her great grand father at this rate lol)
with bond Number 7 who I hope to be Hiddleston Honestly with the way Russia is I kind of would like to see a rogue Russian General (General G perhaps or maybe Colonel Von Hammerstein) Create their own new 21st century of Smersh for a Smersh trilogy (though I would like him to do 4-5 films)
Death to Spies (2023)
Smersh (2025)
Midnight among the worms (2027)
and then two stand alone films... but that is getting WAY to far into the future..
right now Craig I believe will back for bond 25 and until I see something official it is what I will believe.
2. I am also thinking that with storylines in place, Blofeld is back. And if Blofeld is back, so is Waltz, and (in turn) so is DC.
3. Anyone else think that the "Craig is done / Craig is not done" discussion is all part of a larger marketing scheme to keep everyone hyper-focused on Bond 25? It seems as though Eon and DC are playing the media like a piano concerto.
If Mendes doesn't return, I have no problem seeing Alex Garland direct and/or write. He is more into Sci-Fi, but so what? I loved Ex Machina and thought the film's setting had a Bond-lairish (is that a word?) feel to it.
