I posted this the other day that if the Russo brothers weren't tied up to direct the 2 Infinity Wars movies then they'd have my full support and backing to direct Bond 25 but that ain't happening. Cap winter soldier, for me, is superior to the last 3 Bond films and cap civil war looks infinitely better. The Russo's know how to handle and manage action, drama and suspense and they don't ever waste scenes. Their background is predominantly TV work and prior to Winter Soldier they only had 2 movies to their name, welcome to collinwood and you, me and dup ree.....but the vision and passion they have they conveyed to Marvel and hit the job which ended up in one of the best action films ever made and they look set to kill it with Cap civil war.
EoN need to take more and better risks with the hiring of their writers and directors. People here can say they don't want a comic book director but that's missing the point. It's about who has the passion and the best vision for the job to bring these characters and world alive. Had I not seen GE or CR and had just watched GL, I would have bet and lost that bet that Campbell has never directed a Bond film. Personally I think EoN and some fans are creating and championing unecessary red tape, limiting just how great Bond films can be.
I was surprised by how bored by Spectre I was on 2nd and 3rd viewing - enthralled on first viewing. I think this was a big reason why.
Heavenly Creatures is a comic strip? Right.
Aidan Turner reportedly holding talks for James Bond role
Next.
yeah, Connery crossed with Dalton, I think.
If you squint you can see pinch of Bronsan too.
Turner looks like himself and doesn't need to have features aesthetic physical features that recall past Bond actors, just leave it at that and if he gets the role let his acting and the script do the convincing if he's Bond material much like the talent and skilled approach Craig employed.
There was a sea change in action films during the late 80's and Dalton unfortunately became Bond just as that was happening. If he had got in sooner, he may have had a chance to shape the role faster, and perhaps gained greater acceptance..
I've always felt that Brosnan in the mid 80's was far more impressive (in tv series like the Noble House for instance) than he was in the late 90's (when he was Bond). There was something about his younger self that I found more dynamic, confident and rugged.
After all the anticipation, Spectre has been and gone, and the internet rumour-mill now turns to the nascent Bond 25. Still officially the incumbent James Bond, Daniel Craig hasn't committed himself to returning, and it's possible to read the final scenes of Spectre as his bidding farewell to the role. And according to director Sam Mendes, there may be something in that.
"It did feel to me like Daniel was saying goodbye to Bond at the end", Mendes told Empire at the awards last night, "but there’s clearly a way he can easily come back. Bond isn’t dead! So that’s clearly Daniel’s call. But I think you’ve got to feel 100% to come back, and I think he knows that. He needs to have a break and do another role and see how he feels after that. I’ll be watching with as much interest as you guys."
Much was made last year of Craig appearing to say he'd rather slash his wrists than play Bond again. But his words were taken slightly out of context; he was talking about his exhaustion with the role having just finished a gruelling shoot. He didn't necessarily mean forever. So Mendes' words here leave us more or less in the same place, while confirming that Craig has been consciously given an out should he decide to take it.
Development on Bond 25 begins imminently. No cast, director or screenwriters have yet been announced, although Christoph Waltz' Bond contract was reportedly for three films.
