Cyber warfare, attacks, hacking, are essential plot elements in future Bond films. Long gone are the days of a plot like TLD, sadly.
It got me thinking if perhaps the plot could revolve around a 'bad apple' within the American 'Deep State' (meaning the Military Industrial Complex including CIA/National Security Affairs etc.). This is quite topical given what's going on in the US lately, and could also be a way to bring back Felix (perhaps he is framed or compromised).
That would be a hero.
I've always asserted that Craig will only come back if he gets to work with a director he likes. Maybe they just can't find someone who can come on to finish things off, who is of the calibre that Craig wishes to work with. Its always seemed fishy to me how this distributor business has been hidden, as if it does not influenced any of the decisions being made.
Yes, I've never felt like Craig has been that interested in telling a conventional Bond story, which is what we would get from a workman director. It's a type of creative ADD that many in the industry have. Unless they are pushing the boundaries in one way or another, their heart just isn't in the project. Honestly, I feel he would just be bored making a traditional Bond film. SPECTRE is probably the closest we will get to that from Craig.
I'd welcome this
Where do you get this strange sense from? Seems only to be from your desire to see a Latino looking gypsy win the role.
The distribution business is not fishy, it's just complicated and cant be worked out on a whim. Time and again you read far too much into something that isn't unusual.
If Turner is the Brosnan equivalent, then if I was Pierce, I'd be insulted.
Pierce is a leading man. Turner is a nothing. A TV star at best. Outside of the UK, few have heard of him. Not something or someone a studio backs to take on one of the biggest film roles in history.
That s a new one. First write the song, then spin the script around said song?
Craig,ala Connery,is moaning about the golden chalice that he is holding...once Bond goes you dont get the role back,look at Lazenby to see the regret than can appear if you go.

Yeah I heard that story on the radio too the other day.
Agree with you on Turner. There are actors other than Turner in the Hobbit movies alone that would be better suited for the role.
Where exactly does one hear Craig moaning about a golden chalice? I have never seen anything other than a man absolutely thrilled to be doing what he is doing, and who throws himself at Bond with everything he has, injuries or not. Just because Dan hates being asked stupid questions in interview junkets, I think this false narrative of him disliking his work has been propagated to disgusting levels. Dan likes the work, not the shilling in front of cameras, much like Sean and Tim in that manner, as they both had a similar distaste for being wheeled out and used for promotion and exploitation. I feel sorry for those that can't properly translate his refreshingly dry humor on press interviews, or who miss the times when he does go in deep on what Bond and Fleming means to him.
If Dan wanted out of the role, he'd be out, but he clearly gets amazing fulfillment from the job. It's just that, like Sean, he sees the downside to the job in how it takes him away from his family a lot and has made him unable to simply go out to the pub and have a drink without being swarmed by people wanting to use him for an autograph or picture. Those things are simple aspects of life, but things us "normies" do take for granted. Many view the role of Bond in a very glorified manner, but it's got pains to match every pleasure, and the actors have felt that intensely and more than anyone ever could. The decrease of privacy with each increase of fame, the cutthroat media storm that lashes at them between films, the legacy they have to face and accept, and the personal liberties they let go along the way. Dan, like us all, just wants to be respected and treated like a regular personal with human freedoms.
I'm sure I'm not winning any friends here by saying this but I'd love to see Luke Evans in the running to replace Craig when the day comes.
To me his look is much more Bond than Tom Hardy or Fassbender, and much, much, much more than Hiddleston or Turner.
Although between Beauty and the Beast and The Hobbit, etc., there isn't a huge amount of his acting chops on display though...
Remember seeing The Great Train Robbery a few years back, thinking that Evans could be a possible Bond actor. Still not to old to do a few films, either.
Haven't followed this thread for quite some time. Can anyone provide some information on what we do know about Bond 25, if there is any?
Seems like a great guy too. Being interviewed by Jack Whitehall will enhance his Bondian qualites, too, haha! :D
Nope you haven't missed a thing. Sadly even that long ago you had been on it till now and still nothing. All we can do is hope now
