    You said the hair there is too long, and the only long hair I saw was on Rachel, so naturally I thought you were talking about her...

    Hopefully this is how Craig's hair will look in B24.

    I've always though that Craig's best look was in Casino Royale, specifically in the scene where he has broken into M's flat. While I don't think his hair should be black or brown , I do think that it does look better a bit darker than his natural color. I also think he has a better appearance when his eyebrows are a bit darker; it gives him a more refined look.

    I know a lot of people find talking about an actors hairstyle silly but all elements contribute to a character and film. How much work was done on Sean's grooming when he was at his peak as 007? casino-royale-trailer10_zps2827c057.jpg

    It's certainly not silly, but I would say some people get disproportionately anxious. Craig has looked great in all his films, different, but great in each. If he suddenly went all Donald Trump my anxiety levels would naturally rise, but I can't see that happening. I'm sure whatever style they go with he'll look bad ass.

    old DC has aged a lot since CR. when cast he was in his prime but he's now clearly middle aged. I know it angers some people to hear it, but he does not look anything like as good as he did in 2006. the change between the photo above and now is quite striking. he's gone from very youthful looking to quite drawn and jowly - may be he's too thin? having said that, we witnessed Sean, Rog and Brozza all age before our eyes during the previous movies. it's not ncessarily a bad thing. I wish DC had got to do another one in the last nine years though. shame so much time was lost between QoS and SF. In my view he hasn't aged as well as Rog, but probably looks better than Sean did at his age. Two more films in him, I'd say (including B 24). I cannot see him carrying on to 50 and beyond. Having said this, I would not be that surprised if Craig or EON decided this one is his last.

    And I've said this a few times elsewhere , but I really wish they'd kept the whole ageing Bond thing from SF until a later film. SF should have been more about Bond in his hardened, post-Vesper professional, ruthless prime. B24 or 25 would have been the time and place to explore those ageing themes.

    off topic, but it strikes me that Dalton was looking a lot better at DC's age. He could have still just about pulled Bond off into his 50s, as Rog sort of did.

    Still, Craig is a decent Bond and I'm happy to see him continue as long as he wants. I can't see any obvious contenders in the wings, apart from Fassbender, and he too is ageing. Dalton bailed out when he easily had one film left in him and Craig could certainly do a B25 if he wanted. A sixth film would really be pushing it a bit though and straying into AVTAK territory.

    Whether or not i agree on this and I do partly, I find it strange to sort out Dalton for the young looking example. To me he looked already quite old in his first film.

    As for DC, he aged, yes, but he never looked "youthful" even in CR he seemed to look different ages all in one film, as he does in most. Probably due to all the craggy.
    But he did look really, really good in the promo for SF, which shows, he still can.
    You are right, that he needs some meat on his face bones, otherwise he will look haggard.

    Whether or not he will do 25 IMO totally depends on how it will be received. He will be the first to let go, when it doesnt do well enough and when people clearly find him too old.

    On the other hand, he has tons of charisma and else to make him convincing. I say, in contrast to SF make him look.as good as possible and, for f..... sake, give the man a decent hairstyle and we have a deal.

    Craig is under contract to do Bond 25 so there's no ifs or buts about that, the question is, if he'll go on to do Bond 26 at least and I think he can. Craig can continue upto his early 50 and then leave but time will tell.

    I personally think that Bond 25 will be his last movie as Bond.

    It very well could be and as it is, contractually speaking Bond 25 is his last movie. I just hope Bond 24 and 25 rock my socks!

    I think Dan did actually look quite youthful in CR actually. My point about Dalton was not about how old he looked, but how his face aged. Some good looking guys have a good middle aged face and others not so much. Not to say Dan looks awful or anything. I'm sure I'd be happy to be in his condition at 46, or whatever he is. Some chance! Any way, I was just saying that he has not aged as well as Roger and Tim. Tim looked older in TLD than DC did on CR, but ten years later, I think Tim had aged better.

    Tim was an anomaly. He always looked 10 years younger than he was.

    So, is Dan gonna have hair in this one, or is he gonna get even closer to the Blofeld look?

    Scary prospect - for the first time the next Bond is highly likely to be younger than me. That will mean my chance to be cast has finally passed!

    Seeing so many of these photos of Dan in this thread reminds me of what an ordinary looking bloke he is. If you pass him on the street you'd probably miss him. Much more ordinary looking than any of the other bonds IMO. It goes to show what an exceptional actor he is to actually play James Bond and bring him convincingly to the screen given his average looks.

    I saw him in Betrayal on Broadway with Rachel Weisz last year and thought the same thing. Ordinary looking fella but man can he act.

    Anway my choices:

    Connery -FRWL - thin as it was, I liked his real hair. A little height suited him better compared to the flat toupe he wore from Thunderball onwards. When wig technology improved so he could convincingly have the height in his hair (around the time of The Hunt for Red Ocober) his career improved as well
    Lazenby - N/A - only one to pick from
    Moore - TMWTGG -thought he looked great here but anything from LALD to MR was the best
    Dalton - TLD - it had thinned a lot by LTK so they had to go for a new look which was less than impressive
    Brosnan - GE - that's the Brosnan I knew from the 80's and the one I liked the most. He does not look good with short hair IMO
    Craig - CR - looked great here and in that promo photo with the PPK. I did not mind SF either. Don't like him with longer hair (like his intro as Bond event in 2005) because it's too thin

    In YOLT he had a great toupee, I mean, Shatner great. TB's was good too IMO. You need to watch these films again IMHO.

    Shatner great. LOL.

    I just looked up some images of him on google in TB. You might be right.

    I just remembered his hair being flatter once he went the toupe route. Maybe I'm selectively remembering the awful bangs from that Japanese thing he had going in YOLT.

    I haven't seen TB in a few years. It's one of my favourites, so I'll make time for it during Christmas.

    Anyone want the beard back? I certainly do. Craig's Bond should be rugged. I don't even mind more leather jacket and casual wearing as well.
  • bondjamesbondjames You were expecting someone else?
    Posts: 23,883
    I'm a little less happy about the leather jacket look (although it suits Craig very well he's a little thuggish to begin with so it may go too much in the casual direction).

    He does look good in casual short sleeve shirts though. I remember thinking he looked very similar to Connery in TB when he wore those Sunspel short sleeves in the Bahamas in CR. Very casual and yet very Bond. He has the physique and muscles to pull that off very well. Brozza, Tim & Rog couldn't do it so well since their arms were too skinny IMO

    His hair is still better than Brosnan s.

    I don't know if it's been mentioned on the forum but his hair is...........

    darker!

    http://www.imdb.com/media/rm203815168/rg3404765952

    Major change in hair colour. I wonder if Eon read some fan comments about his hair and decided to change it?
