    In a perfect world, Craig makes one more film titles 007 in New York.
    Him and Madeline move to New York to get away from the spy life. She's kidnapped, he enlists Felix for help..
    He travels to some exotic places, saves Madeline at the end, blofeld officially dies, Craig's series is over... We get a 3-4 year gap and a new actor is chosen for a reboot.

    Another option would be to get an actor who is 35-40 ish. Set the film in the 60s-70s, put some gadgets in it, a bunch of super hot actresses, bring blofeld back (new actor), new cast, and try and re vamp the series.

    I want to see something different for once. Don't copy the originals but if you set it in the 60s then that could bring back the Connery Bond vibe.
    Reuse some of the old soundtrack too.

    Just tired of seeing the same old lets cast a 30 year old, he's Bond for 10 years, makes 3-4 movies and they try and aim for a super serious film.

    Craig has been amazing but they kept venturing farther and farther from how bond should really be portrayed imo..

    So many ideas I could easily come up with and yet we have "professionals" who can't come up with anything.

    No world where a Bond film is titled 007 in New York is perfect.

    I agree we need fresh but I respectfully disagree with that approach.

    Agreed.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Bond head back to New York, but 007 in New York would be about the worst title they could choose for a Bond film.

    The press would be laughing their collective asses off. i can already see the memes which are basically the cover of Home Alone 2 with Craigs face plastered on

    So if this Aiden Turner has already met with Bond producers in LA like the reports are claiming, is it safe to say he's officially replacing Craig?

    No it's not safe to say that.

    It's not safe to say that he's replacing Craig.

    EON isn't going to cast the next Bond until a distribution deal is in place, and it sounds as though they are a long ways off on completing that deal. Any talks with any actors, aside from Craig at this point, is just a case of EON doing their due diligence.

    Think about it for a second and you'll have your answer.

    Only if Lewis Collins was bond in for your eyes only and James Brolin was 007 in Octopussy

    Hardy is a strong contender for a Bond villain.

    I don't see Hardy ever being Bond. He just... doesn't look the part. And he's as good as a henchman in a Bond film.

    Funny reading here that Craig has 'no charisma'. He's got buckets of it. Most US & British actors would bite your hand off for half of Dan's wit & charisma.

    Don't compare him to Sean. His career was built on his gigantic charisma. He didn't even need to act (although he wasn't too shabby).



    Craig's dry sarcasm tends to fly over people's heads sometimes.

    Or another way to look at it is that it comes off as affected and unnatural.

    Indeed, @haserot.
    It is symptomatic of modern pop media - all the 'stars' have to be 'nice' and pre-approved so that they are bland, repetitive and gushingly 'PC' and don't offend anyone or, heaven forbid(!), actually take a sarcastic poke at something that is silly to begin with.
    At least Craig has some balls on him and doesn't feel the need to pander to the masses.

    But why should it bother you one way or another how DC handles himself in the media and whether his sarcasm is forced or not, @Birdleson..? You don't need to share a pint with the man.

    While I don't think Hardy will ever be Bond Post inception I really got on the Hardy train. to me he looks a bit like Connery and his 007 in my opinion would really match early Connery in terms of style. I doubt that many will agree but it is what it is.


    So basic question for everyone when will we hear the next bond 25 rumor?

    I simply cannot believe what I just read. It'll take me a long time to get over this:

    Press Release: Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, EON Productions; Gary Barber, Chairman & CEO, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; today announced that Daniel Craig will retire from playing Ian Fleming's James Bond, 007.

    Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and SPECTRE took in a combined gross of over $3 billion, were among the most critically successful Bond films, and immediately proved to both critics and fans that the franchise was in yet another golden era.

    Commenting on the announcement, Wilson and Broccoli said, "We are thrilled to have had such an extraordinary success with our last four films. While we are saddened that we will no longer be working with Daniel, a close collaborator and friend for over a decade, we look forward to working alongside another extraordinary actor to once again take the reins of Ian Fleming's ingenious creation.

    Barber added, "We consider ourselves privileged to have worked with such a phenomenal actor, and to have shared his chapter of Bond with audiences all over the world. Daniel was an integral part of this great franchise, who added a whole new layer to Bond, a side of the character we hadn't seen yet." He added, "We look forward to the future and to work alongside a new talent for years to come. Without a doubt, as evidenced by the phenomenal success of our last collaboration with EON Productions, the incredible legacy of this 54-year-old franchise will continue to amaze."

    No actors, director, screenwriter, or release dates have been announced at this stage.
