Her first episode pulled in (over a seven day period) 10.54M views, while her last pulled in 5.1M view. Though the lowest of her era, was one of the specials which had 3.4M, the lowest in Doctor Who history. The overnight figures are even worse (so it is being generous to look at the 7 day figures). Compared to her predecessor who had a slightly higher high, and not quite as low a low. The decline has been happening for some time.
If we get Bald Bond then they need to get a bald “badass” to play the part. I elect Jason Stathem for the first Bald-Bond!
Well, I suppose we've already had Sean Connery who was technically the first 'bald' Bond.
Yeah but they still gave him the toupee’s to wear on screen. Nowadays I feel like Bond has undergone so many different interpretations in and out of film that we probably could get a “Bald Bond” on screen at some point.
Well, in fairness I don't feel it's gone through that many interpretations in the grand scheme of things. But I think if a bald actor were to take the role they'd wear a toupee (and in all honesty I don't think it'd be a major point against the actor in the run up to the film, at least not compared to some of the other scenarios I mentioned).
I can tell you I'd react very badly.
Forgive my cynicism, but what I fear is that if we were given another GE or CR for Bond 26, then Bond 27 has the same unenvious task of following a high-bar film up. TND and QOS are films that I like now but struggled with when they came out because they weren't another GE or CR.
After the noble experiment that was NTTD (not as big a hit as they wanted or probably expected) I think they'll fall back on what Bond said in TND ("Give the people what they want!"). Smaller budget, leaner production, back to basics.
One hopes so, yes :)
When I was referring to race baiting, it was to do with 2 certain members earlier in this thread, who started accusing people who wanted a white actor to play Bond (or someone who matches Fleming's description, in my case) to be racist.
The chances are EON may be choosing a complete unknown, who is not on anyone's radar.
And in my opinion there are only 2 possible candidates that I would be happy with currently - Aidan Turner or ATJ.
Can you act?
Are you tall enough?
What colour is your hair?
Is your voice appropriate for the role? (Not like ATJ apparently)
If you can answer yes to all of the above, then you have a strong chance by the MI6 community to be James Bond. ;)
Acting is in my blood. I have grey hair. I can sing and I don't have a Welsh accent.
Every day I get stronger.
Does anyone know if Craig had dyed his hair at all playing Bond?
I think he specifically said when he got the role that he didn't want to dye his hair. His other contribution was suggesting he cut his hair shorter because his suited his Bond more.
I think dye may have been added in NTTD, as he is looking visibly greyer now, and there are certain shots when his hair has an unnatural brown/orange tint edge to it.
In Skyfall, his beard (and his hair) when he returned to MI6 was grey, but went back to dark for the rest of the film, so, possibly, there's some bits of dying happened in there.
In SPECTRE, I'm not sure, as it's not obvious (maybe due to his hair being blond as well).
But in No Time To Die, possibly not, as the film was intended to show Bond at his old age, so the grey hair really mattered in that film (and that's why his romance with Madeleine was all the more uncomfortable, because he really looked older in that film opposite Seydoux, the age gap was all the more obvious).
So, maybe in Skyfall.
His hair looks dyed here -
Then again, it was supposed to be set 5 years earlier.
Ah I get you now. I dunno, his hair's lighter anyway, his greying is pretty subtle, and there's stuff like lighting/colour grading in the film to account for, so it's a bit hard to tell. To be fair I noticed his temples looking a little greyer at times during the film, but it's quite subtle and he's playing a Bond in his 50s anyway.
It'd make sense if they did for the Matera sequences just to highlight the time gap maybe.
EDIT: Apparently no, he didn't dye it, at least for the majority of the film. In fact it was allegedly embraced due to the character being older in this one: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7793325/Daniel-Craig-James-Bond-grey-locks-No-Time-Die.html
This ^ Absolutely this.
According to that article, he dyed his hair in QoS. I can't say I really noticed.
