I think MGW is liking what he sees. Babs? Not sure what she's up to. Probably distracted trying to work the blue speedo into the story. :P
Fassbender seems to be quite popular as a new bond so you never know.
%-(
In truth Sam, I really don't know where to start...but I would ask that everyone cool it. I have scanned through the content of the thread andit would be best if we all take a deep breath. Opinions will differ, at least agree on that.
Or the thread.....will diiiie.
Well he did do four. I suppose four isn't far from six.
Not listening as your icon suggests on an internet forum would mean, to NOT read it. Try that and thus stay true to your little note above...
Daniel Craig lined up for five more Bond movies but is taking it one film at a time
Just the answer, he is always giving, but indicating, that another one would be nice.

True, but Cruise does looks much younger than Craig. I've not seen MI4 (i'll wait for the DVD), but from what i've seen of Cruise lately, I think he could pack in a 5th MI film in 3-4 years time. Craig, I can't see him making 8 Bonds (unless they kept throwing money at him, Connery style or he stops ageing). Honestly, I can't see him making 6 Bonds. I guess it'll depend on how he ages over the next 2 years, and let's not forget how badly Moore aged between 1979 and 1981.
:-@
I agree to 4/5, but he was hired on his rather lean Layer Cake body...so he didn't need them either. The bulking up was his own decision.
DC has had a rough 2 years - personally and professionally and in his face, it always shows, whether he is living his "bad boy" habits or not. Good thing though - in those 6 years, since I became a fan, I have seen him looking rough today and up to "hunk standard" the next. So - at this point, with personal life all cleared up etc - everything is possible IMO. He could continue ageing or just pause, where he is now and even get better. He looked great in summer, but then, he has had some hair. That hair is a bit of a killer. Hope there is a good reason for it and theys allow it to grow...
ML: "You're in the middle of shooting your third Bond. How's that going?"
DC: "It's going good, yeah."
ML: "How long do you have ahead of you?"
DC: "We've shot six weeks, and we shoot 'til the end of May... I can't work that out. It's a long time."
ML: "Staying true to the genre and what people expect?
DC: "Oh yes, and more so. A little bit more this time."

the vid included in case, anybody is interested.
But Craig looked older at age 38 in CR than Moore at age 47 in TMWTGG. So who knows how Craig will age... but he really looks old in some pics of SF filming...
However that might be and however that might develop, I am sure, he isn't the person, who would overdo his welcome. So, I suppose, the fans are save and won't see him clinging to his role, if his time is up - for whatever reason. He'll step back gracefully...
Sky News seem to be working on this idea too. Nice comment from MGW towards the end of the article too around the 'feel' of Skyfall. :-)
Craig is more rugged yes, but he still looks about his age, early 40s.
With the massive scope of these productions being what they are it seems to me that just 2 more movies is a big deal. When Brosnan was still being considered for Bond 21 it was announced that the earliest it would be released was November 2005. Assuming Bond 22 with Brosnan would be released in 2007, that would mean he was cut off by 5 years. That seems like alot to me. And I think that he really wanted or atleast expected to do even more than that. Possibly even break Moore's record. Brosnan stated in an interview on TV that with DAD he was "just getting the hang of it". Saying that after doing 4 films already told me he had no plans of going anywhere in the near future. But Im glad they dumped him for Craig. The Bond series is much more interesting without him.
True, your level of insight is so spot on it's frightening. I wish I could think on this strategic level.
I saw him just yesterday in Bag of Bones and he is WAY past his point of Bondian glory. IMO he was beginning to look too old in DAD. A 5th film would have been pushing it. I think the mandatory retirement age of a Bond actor should be 50. With the exception of Roger Moore who must've discovered the fountain of youth as he still looked great at 51 for MR. But he must've lost it after FYEO as his age quickly caught up to him after that.
You really should go see it in the theater if you can spare. Its a very very hood theater expirience.
Out of interest, was Bag of Bones any good?
Nowadays they fix it in post like it meant nothing. ;-)
Which is actually a scary thought...
I didn't care for it. It just seems that Stephen King's material has lost it's stride. Brosnan wasn't bad though.
