Also, roughly three Bond movies come out in a decade; if every "tenth anniversary" were to be celebrated, one movie out of three would be a new "Die Another Day"-like full of self-references, shout outs and mythology gags. No thanks.
Yes I know. But in 2007 and 2011 the wait was slightly less exhausting really. What the hell are those guys at EON up to. Producing a film that's even better than CR and SF :-P :-P?
My first guess is that it's Idris Elba, who would be an amazing choice.
How do you know it's going to be better than CR and SF? Have you already made your mind up, written the review, awarded your 5 stars to a movie that's not even in production yet? I know you're a big Nolan fan also... have you already decided that Interstellar is the best movie of 2014?
Bad idea IMO, his fans and he probably himself want to see him as Bond (baaad idea) and that would only raise unneccessary "unhappiness"
He aaked a question. Why do people keep on bashing the guy? Are you also bashing all those predictable negative people? If you do that, ignore my post, but i doubt it.
Interstellar is not doing too well on RT though.
For God sake, I am asking a QUESTION. How the hell do I know if Bond 24 will be better than CR and SF? I'm just being sarcastic, about the lack of "Bondleaks" on the Web. I always hope that the next one is better than the previous one. If you can't stand my excitement for movies, than take a fu#@#?ing (censored myself dear moderator!:@) hike and go to another topic where I'm not present. Sjee man......are there more people who criticise happiness and excitement about movies :@???
My first choise would be Michael Kenneth Williams
Like I posted before.....the schedules of all Bond villain potentials:
And in case we get a full-screen female Bond villain, then perhaps these actresses?
Nonsense. How many fans does Elba has to begin with? What percentage of his fans do seriously believe he has any chance of playing Bond in the future? Your comment simply doesn't make any sense in any way.
Idris Elba has absolutely no chance of playing Bond in the future. Do you know why? Because he is 42 years old already. The first Bond movie with the next actor will be released around 2020. By that time Elba will be 48.
I really wish people stopped this "Elba has a chance to be the next Bond" nonsense. Don't get me wrong, I think he is an excellent actor and I would be very happy with him playing the villain in Bond 24 but there is NO WAY he will ever play James Bond.
Idris is too old to be considered for the next Bond; even his strongest fans probably realize that. But for me he is wonderful and I'd just enjoy him in a Bond film - ally or villain.
In all honesty, I think there's no way that Barbara & Michael will release Daniel Craig after his 5th Bond film. I can imagine that they will pay Craig a shit load of money to do a 6th. And in all honesty, I WANT Daniel Craig to do a 6th, like Connery. Let people fantasize about who's going to fill his footsteps after he retires. But that will be after 2021, when Craig's 6th outing as Bond hits cinemas (Bond 25 I guess will premiere on November 2018).
On top of that...look at Tom Cruise. He's even older than Craig and he still rocks as Ethan Hunt. Moreover, we need to get used to 3-year gaps between Bond films. Considering the fact that EON wants to take their time to make a high-quality Bond film.....and not a formularic one like those entries from the 1990's.
I think Idris Elba is great actor with lots of charisma.
He is more than likely completely aware of the fact that he will never play Bond.
While it's more likely than not they'll continue on a three year cycle, they could quite easily get a production out in two. It really depends on when and if they can lock down the key players. The Mendes debacle is the key reason we're not avidly discussing the new entry right now.
While they absolutely shouldn't rush, there's only so long a movie can gestate before creative talent becomes weary and a little bored with the process. Reading between the lines I wouldn't be surprised if this is what happened with Logan.
Yeah, but Cruise also looks about 10 years younger than Craig!
About this quality issue - well, all those years they had extra for SF resulted in the WORST ( = illogical ) script the franchise ever had, so I see this argument of yours as a case of non sequitur.
Wow wow, easy now. These are sheer hyperboles from your end if I may say so. A screenplay consists of several elements: Dialogue that enhances the roles, the characters and the overall plot. Now I agree with reluctance that SF had a "shitload of plotholes" like so many point this out with nuances. But how...."illogical" the screenplay may work out, the screenplay worked perfectly on the elements of characterization and drama.
Secondly, Mr Craig looks like an old twat nowadays? Well, most likely this ordinary Brit doesn't visit plastic surgeons in Hollywood like Mr Cruise is doing. Anyway, that's besides the point. Mr Craig is physically more fit than Mr Moore and Mr Brosnan (look at Brosnan's absence of ANY 6-pack in DAD) at their age. I think that's what should count.
Mr Moore looked old in AVTAK yes, but then he didn't do a shit of stunts by himself. And Craig hasn't arrived to that age yet.
Craig needs to stay, regardless of wrinkles.
I'm a fan and do not want him as Bond. As a Bond villain on the other hand, he would be great. I think he's a far better choice than tjene soft looking Ejiofor.
Or, more recently, like when several people said that the rumor of Lea Seydoux in Bond 24 was a hoax :) You arrived on the forum after that, but when Schmoes Know said they had a reliable source about her casting, some would-be experts here "proved" it was nonsense.
We'll probably never know half of what happened really in the preproduction of past Bond movies, and some seem to think they know already what's happening in the preproduction of the next one ! Just hearing here the French actors who had a part in a Bond movie, or went to the casting of a Bond movie and were not cast, already produce some anecdotes that are nowhere to be found in the Bond litterature. I expect in a few years Lea Seydoux to talk very freely about what it was to play with Cruise, Craig, etc.. :) She already caused quite a stir while talking about what happened on the shooting of La Vie d'Adele !
A good script develops a "natural" flow to reach its conclusion and doesn't bend every event in the story towards the means it wants to achieve. Besides, I'm still at loss about that character arch Bond is supposed to have during SF. A little whining about some unsolved mummy issues doesn't make the cut in my book.
Regarding the age thing - well, according to a teen boy living in my house (with which I had some chat while standing in line at the supermarket ) Ethan Hunt is quite mega cool to him and his girlfriend, while Bond is kind of an old bag to them. Considering,that the lions share of box office results is achieved by folks under 25 this certainly is something to consider for producers.
I do not think Léa would say anything bad about filming with Cruise or Bond because the director is not Abdellatif Kechiche! I think Léa was right to speak out about the director as he wanted it to look real and made Léa repeatedly slap poor Adèle who also cut her hand on a door. She was bleeding everywhere but the director made Adèle carry on with the scene. Léa said of this, (if this would have been filmed) 'In America, we’d all be in jail'. This is getting OT but if anyone wants to read the article that started the whole polemique/war of words on the director The Daily Beast
