I always loved the idea of Day Lewis as the OHMSS (literary) incarnation. I'm all for lesser known actors, but Day Lewis with long white hair and green tinted lenses conjures up images of a great Bond villain, and an authentic cinematic take on Blofeld.
Any return of Blofeld will require producers to re-ivent the character, he could easily be modernised, but in keeping with one of Fleming's descriptions i think you're right the long white hair and green tinted glasses would still work. One thing is for certain any return of Blofeld sends the box office through the stratosphere providing they get the right actor to make us all forget who came before him. I think producers want to do it, but still face legal challenges with the character which is a shame for us fans.
I nominate South African actor Arnold Vosloo (HARD TARGET, 1999's THE MUMMY).
I wish we had three Bond films with Dan to set up Blofeld as the Quantum head. One to introduce him, one for him to cause massive destruction to Bond, and a final one for Bond to have a big face off with him in one final brutal battle. I would love to see Bond have to take a team of SAS and shoot his way to Blofeld, and they would face off against he and the Quantum agents with guns. Bond and the team would blast and shoot their way through the defenses, where at the climax they have a brutal one on one fight. That would be the perfect send off to Dan's era, him being "the last rat standing" over his biggest enemy.
Love it :)
No double posts please.
What he said.
Beside, what kind of Blofeld do we want? A carbon copy of the past ones, with bald head and scar? Or a Blofeld we have not seen before? Like, I don't know, the one from the novels.
Do I detect Touchmybuttons is back?
I keep saying this, yet people insist on suggesting bald men as appropriate for the role. If, and that's a very big if, they ever being him back, he won't resemble any of the film incarnations whatsoever. They'll completely reinvent him.
I always wondered why people keep thinking bald actor=Blofeld potential. I mean surely the character is more than his spoofed image.
But I doubt Jean Reno can have another accent than a French one, and he is getting old and he is, well Jean Reno.
he looks like him though and he should retire ina few yers or months as he's 41
Oh, don't get me wrong, I prefer older, more mature villains, in general, for Bond movies. In their late 40s or early 50s, ideally. And as I mentioned, Jean Reno is Jean Reno.
Oh please! You are not serious.
I think the guy might be playing you Ludovico. In another thread he suggested Bond should drive that Aston Martin Cygnet which also seems like an attempt to wind people up to me. He also sent me an abusive e-mail when I criticised him so definitely needs monitoring.
Now Jonjo Shelvey as Blofeld I can certainly see in about 20 years! :))
On topic though, I'm no fan of Blofeld returning. I wouldn't want to cast him!
I myself find him to be a fascinating specimen. He appears to have undergone a lobotomy, yet is still functioning enough to type and form sentences, though the grammar is lacking. :-B
One of the things that goes with being the #1 Bond forum I suppose.
On topic, I'm indifferent for a return of Ernie.B.
He's not a character that needs to make a comeback. But it would put a wry smile on my face if he did methinks.
What message?And know I wasnt joking about the Cygnet I mean if it did happen he would be given it just to to through London but gets blown up and gets given a better Aston Martin like a DBS.
