    Take out Elvis and rewrite the Dominic Green character and QOS would be vastly improved. I wish Mathis had lived a bit longer as well.

    For your eyes only.

    In the real world the Craig era is a self contained series of movies set in its own time and QoS and SP are fundamentals chapters in this four movie attempt to “deconstructing 007”. XD

    BTW the new X-Men movie will officially come out the same day as Bond 25. Foolish move by Fox imo.

    Dark Phoenix? I believe it's scheduled for Valentine's Day 2019, not 2020.

    Not really. For a dude his age, he still looks pretty good there regardless. There aren't many people who look good in casual gear.

    Craig seems to be able to gain and drop weight pretty quickly. His height and general body shape help matters there. He'd be back in damn fine shape in 4 weeks if he went back training after the New Year. Nothing to worry about.

    You are 100% correct, but he’ll need a haircut. ;)

    Meh. I'd be fine with them abandoning the whole tight haircut thing for his final flick. He looks much better without the army crew cut.

    His cuts in CR , QoS and SP are not army crew cuts. I think he has a more commanding presence with a shorter cut. His look in CR , in M’s flat is on point.
  • Posts: 16,162
    I think he should go for the CR press conference hair cut, but spray it in place like Roger's in AVTAK.

    Forget the gym, eat more pizza, and lay off the arm curls for awhile. Go for the Sean in DAF build.

    Why break tradition by having the longest serving Bond actor in tip top shape for his final outing?

    In all seriousness, he looks alright to me, and I think he'll be fit by the time B25 begins filming.

    I wouldn't mind a return to the QoS haircut, though.

    Just finished Maniac.

    Pretty good show tbh.

    There's a sort of action scene in episode 9 which would be cool to see be done seriously (cause in the scene it was...I don't want to spoil) in B25.

    I feel better about Fukunaga after watching Maniac.

    On to True Detective....sooner or later :D

    Over the summer, he looked to be getting into pretty good shape. I am sure, with the delay(and the newborn) he has put the gym on the backburner. He'll likely get back to it next month. It takes him six months to get into peak condition.

    I think it’s a wonderful idea. I know some like a Bond that is superhuman and perfect in every way. But I like a human Bond. Maybe it would have worked better for some if there had been another movie between Quantum and Skyfall, but I have no problem showing an ageing Bond. I find it fascinating.

    Yes the jump between QoS and SF felt odd although I can see why from Mendes' perspective he's just going to go ahead and make the movie he wants to make and not be concerned about whether it's really the right time to do it. They then jumped back with SP to a more 'Bond in his prime' approach. Since I'm not really very interested in continuity I don't think it matters that much.

    I think from my perspective the end of CR and QOS suggested the next film would be back to business as usual. And then they played the same trick at the end of SF. That got a bit annoying.

    I am resigned to B25 not being just another regular entry though. The Craig era came as close as it's going to get to that with SP and most on here didn't seem to like it.

    Well QOS is perhaps my favourite Craig entry so I wouldn't swap it out. But I would have preferred if they'd taken a different trajectory afterwards. SF and SP are a dead end from my perspective. I hate all the navel gazing and self referential stuff although tbf CR and QOS had touches of that as well.

    It just always feels to me that from QOS to SF it's a different character. Rooky, angry Bond is replaced by cynical and burnt out Bond, with nothing in between. They can never get that time back.

    Skyfall could have been the best bond film if it was released now, now is when we need it. I don’t feel we needed it in 2012, it didn’t make sense right after Quantum. A stand alone Bloodstone style film would have been the way to go in 2012 IMO

    I like how SF turned out but I think you're making sense. I like this:

    Both released in February. Missed opportunity not having a film in 2007.
    .CR 2007
    .QOS 2009

    .INSERT COOL TITLE HERE 2012 (Craig's TSWLM)

    .Risico 2014 (Quantum returns but it's totally standalone)

    .Skyfall 2016 (same film but with the gunbarrel at the beginning)

    Craig leaves and we'd be getting a film in 2019 or 2020.

    Just a thought of ending B25. It would never happen but the towards the end Bond receives a message from Strangways about coming down to Jamaica to do some fishing and how he has a matter to discuss with Bond regarding a mysterious island.

    Full circle

    In my eyes the DC Bond movies are set before the Connery era.

    That would be excellent.

    Yes, but he certainly looks horrendous with that buzz cut thing that he had going on in SF. Bond should have a decent bit of length in his hair.

    Yes, Craig did look his best in those scenes in M's Flat. Also looked pretty good in the debriefing before the White interrogation in QOS.

    Six months? From the way he looks now? He's not that much out of shape.

    It takes me six months to get into peak shape going only three times a week. I'm sure Daniel would do it much quicker, considering he'll have a personal trainer to kick his ass and a proper diet plan.

    Craig looks fine.

    I’m most intrigued who Fukunaga will bring on to the film. He has worked with ‘stars’ throughout his career, so I expect a pretty glitzy cast. He’s worked with some big names, such as Michael Fassbender, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Idris Elba, Emma Stone and Jonah Hill.

    I suspect that he won’t go back to a past collaborator as he seemingly likes to work with new people for each project…

    I reckon we’re in for an A-list cast. The main issue now concerns which script they’ll go for. I really think it could be a massive boon for Bond if it were to cast a female villain and bring someone like Gal Gadot in. She’d guarantee that Bond 25’s box office would explode.

    Though, if they do go in the ‘Shatterhand’ route, they’d probably be stuck with Waltz. Though perhaps Kissy Suzuki (or whatever they call the character) could be played by Sonoya (who appear’s in Fukunaga’s ‘Manaic’) She's part Japanese.

    When do we expect casting news? Would it be too soon for Baz to start leaking info?

    I support that too. She was almost in QOS.
