Look if Amazon goes to the straight white man I can see them casting someone like Theo James. I wouldn’t mind even tho he always looks like he just finished shooting a perfume commercial.
Turner would be great but I feel they will go to a better known face. The safe choice is obviously Cavill but I hope for something way less lazy.
Interesting response from Theo James, I'd be happy if him or Aidan Turner were cast
Well he's Scottish and his mother is French Swiss, so more Celtic than Anglo-Saxon.
While I want the actor to be British, where his ancestors came from is irrelevant
Plus Fleming's Bond wasn't from 100% British blood himself, like a lot of British people, and wasn't English. As you say, it doesn't matter at all. I'm not convinced by Theo but I'd hardly rule him out just because of his lineage.
The vid Jordo posted above is interesting because he's not saying no at all, and neither is he saying he desperately wants it, which is kind of the right way to pitch it if you're in the running and not averse to the idea.
It's a great point, he is unbelievable.
He can't lose if he never had a chance.
That almost sounds like a Bond film in itself!
Yeah, but we could really do better.
Oh, I agree.
Dude have you checked Cavill's age? Also, Turner has strong ties to Amazon as it stands. Also, Cavill has WAY too much exposure to be an interesting Bond. Turner is known just about right but hasn't starred as Superman, for example. His cards are way more favourable.
I don't think Turner has any cards.
Of course you'd say that. It holds however no value, so it's ok.
@Mendes4Lyfe Cavill is such a dull actor, no range whatsoever, so catharsis or not, it'd be Bond for the clueless masses. Dull, watered down and no edge to it. I'll pass
@Benny Right on the mark, the wrong path to take imo.
Conservative?
Populist. Uninformed, ignorant populist. Which is always in favour of a conservative outcome, yes. Give the people what they want, right? Not what they need. Same old, same old. State of the world, I’d say.
But… if that helps Bond retain some of its heritage and traits, at this shifting point, I would prefer it to absolute decharacterising changes.
People here wanted Martín Campbell last week.
AIdan Turner is one of the few who falls sweetly in the middle, where he has both the looks and the charisma that can't be taught, but also enough dimensionality to make the role his own.
But… can someone post a vid of Moore demonstrating some great acting skill?
PS: love Roger, but had to say it.
If cast as Bond I don’t think there would be any more depth than we’ve seen before from him.
It would be a safe choice, but I feel the wrong choice.
He’s just not a very good actor.
