I would have had the same hadn't it been for ROTC in high school
They both have Fleming's Bond's cruel mouth, they have similar smirk.
Thank you my friend @Venutius
People who are as good-looking as Cavill *sometimes* can get through life without trying too hard...
He is the devil we know. ;)
He seems like a nice guy actually. Just not the best option For Bond. Nothing against him.
I think he's an actor with charisma. Without that (and some sense of acting ability) you wouldn't get the roles he's had, even if you're good looking. But ultimately it's just about finding the best fit for the role. Often he's not been that fit. It is what it is.
I guess something like this:
Wasn’t Napoleon Solo technically an Ian Fleming creation?
Since 2016 we've had as many indiana jones movies as we have had Bond movies.
And this is bad in what way?
You seem to forget that during that time the world went through Covid, and then the writers strike, where most of the film industry shut down. It still hasn’t fully recovered yet.
But of course making movies is as easy as just dressing up what worked before and getting on with it.
What are EON thinking? It’s so simple.
Yup, too far fetched. I think it's positively science-fiction to believe the U.K. government would go against America on this issue, even in secret. We ought to go for something more realistic, like Bond fighting Spectre werewolves on the moon.
But tons of MCU films! Since you value quantity over quality, you're in luck: they squeeze them out like milk from a fat cow. I'm told that the third Ant-Man film rocks. Have fun.
Well we had more Indiana jones stories as we had the amazing video game
But for me i just want them to cast Cavill and give us a trilogy
Yes, Fleming came up with the name Napoleon Solo and spent time during "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."s early development in New York with producer Norman Felton. Harry was so angry with Ian's involvement that he "twisted" Fleming's arm to quit the series and even changed the name one of the gangsters in "Goldfinger" to Solo in order to curtail the release of "Solo", the original title of the series, from being released.
Cavill's was interesting, though I still think he should've gotten a Bondian haircut and wore something else. Anthony Starr I see more as a Felix in the John Terry mold.
We can't have quality if they don't make movies.
Funny that Craig was at the time of these auditions smoking a rollie and eating a bacon bap. Rebel.
We can't maintain quality if they rush production while also needing to find a worthy replacement for Craig and navigating a standoff with Amazon. But even setting all that aside, what’s the point of repeatedly posting, "Since No Time to Die, we've had..." as if that proves anything beyond the simple mathematical fact that it's been 3.5 years? It's the entitled fan's equivalent of "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
We are hearing from myriad sources that Amazon MGM Studios will be launching an international theatrical distribution arm for its feature slate moving forward.
The studio’s current foreign theatrical output deal with Warner Bros. ends at the end of this year.
This is a big step for Amazon, which has re-embraced the theatrical window since acquiring MGM. Their first big box office release was 2023’s Creed III, which had a franchise-record $58.3M opening and went on to gross $156.2M domestic and $276.1M worldwide.
With its own foreign distribution division, that puts Amazon MGM Studios in the pole position to handle international on its crown jewel franchise, that being Eon’s James Bond series. There were reports of late that 007 producer Barbara Broccoli was upset for myriad reasons with Amazon in regards to their approach to Bond. Perhaps Amazon MGM Studios having full hold on the global distribution of a future 007 movie would assuage some of Broccoli’s concerns. MGM Bond marketing vets remain in place Amazon MGM Studios that being Gerry Rich and Stephen Bruno. The last Daniel Craig 007 film, No Time to Die, was released before Amazon took over MGM; that pic’s foreign handled by Universal with $613.2M at the int’l box office and another $160M-plus U.S./Canada/
