EON would not have any difficulties to find a new actor nowadays.
While the methods of journalism and social media have changed since the 1970s the simple question of is this your last Bond film has been around since the beginning of the franchise. I agree that modern Bond actors have to deal more with the internet than way back but in the end the question remains the same - Is this your last Bond film?
Its the way the question is asked and reported that has changed during this time.
Indeed. But its always the same question for every actor who has put on the tux. Is this your last Bond? The next actor and the next after that will have the same question asked aswell.
I never get tired of watching those Roger Moore on set interviews.
Moore, Dalton and Brosnan are all gentlemen and quite level-headed.
Virtues and vices that are sadly missed nowadays.
I love the bit where Bazza says 'may be if you didn't bring up your supposedly bad acting all the time then no one else would either' and Rog looks like the thought has genuinely never occurred to him.
Rog is such a bright and entertaining guy - so quick witted. You can imagine him having done a whole range of things. This is not meant as a dig at all, but he would have been an amazing light entertainer/ TV host. I'm glad he chose acting and that EON chose him for Bond, but he is just so great to watch and listen to as himself.
Why is that racist? Because someone doesn't like that particular actor (I don't rate him as a Bond either) who happens to be black it's automatically assumed as racist?!
Sarcasm.
That, indeed, is just one celebration of Roger. Lovely clip.
Let's hope so.
=))
;))
Loved him in the Wire - his best role IMO.
Let me be clear, he would be a wonderful 007 agent, and he would clearly be the best actor the franchise ever got since Connery.
But I am one of those people who just don't want to have Fleming's Bond changed too much.
Daniel Craig was "bad" enough, blonde and short, but at least the directors knew how to hide that obvious flaw and Craig worked.
But it has to stop. The next Bond actor has to be British, 35 years old, dark-haired, tall, charming, suave, debonair and physically strong.
who looks and acts the part and carry on. I'll continue seeing Bond films, whether I like the actor playing Bond or not. If I don't like him, I probably won't revisit those films very often.
The occasional talk over Idris Elba playing Bond is just a way to keep things stirred up and keeping Bond in the news. I'm a big IE fan, but I don't think he should be Bond, as Bond isn't written as a black man, but then neither was Leiter, and Jeffrey Wright is a fine
Leiter. But if that's direction the producers go, not my decision, I'll still see the film.
With the success of the Bond and Bourne franchises, I am surprised Elba hasn't been tapped to play a Bond-like character in an original series of films.
Apart from the age bit, doesn't that description possibly fit Elba?
Sure, but I think it is clear from my post that I want Bond to be white as he is in the novels.
1) There's a groundswell from a faction of Neo-liberals and black activists, relentless in their blinkered pursuit of supposed 'equality'.
2) Idris would make a damn fine Bond.
My worry would be that in the twitterati skewed world we live in, two would be forgotten and one would be the predominant rhetoric surrounding the casting. There would be no avoiding the barrage of 'Black Bond' literature.
What would be nice is for someone like Idris to take up the mantle without the shrieking far-left falling over themselves to claim some sort of moral 'victory'. Not least because it would be the most patronising thing you could do to those you're professing to help.
Well said, agree with everything above.
She has already proven, she will cast anyone if she likes him. So if she likes Tatum Channing as she likes Craig, we will get Channing as the next Bond.
