    Don’t know where all this skepticism on Craig is coming from. He looks great.

    I don't understand it either. Also, if he has a haircut of a similar style and/or length that'd be a bonus too. The extra bit of length suits him.

    He’s looking great! There are some who really must be disappointed with this since just weeks ago they were calling him old and fat. Most have been appropriately silenced.

    However, there were others that knew that this guy is not only a professional, but an individual who’s always been lean and athletic. We were guessing he’d be in shape within eight weeks... (and how many more weeks does he have before principal?; he’s a beast).

    Now there is just one who sees a gut that no one else can.

    Bring on B25.

    DC-he's looking great leave this handsome man alone ;)

    Rami Malek- might also very well be another Mi6 agent, suitably so...

    I just re-watched the CR, and the shower scene.. wow... what a delight. One strong scene and it completely catapults Bond & the "Bond girl" relationship on a whole new level (which was missing in Spectre with Madeleine). I'm personally hoping to see this kind of moment for a final DC Bond outing (alongside awesome action scenes - hoping for an underwater scene (!!!))- multiple layers and depth to play with for a great actor of his caliber. And not necessarily with Madeleine. A scene like this shows masculinity at its max ... very Bond'esque in a modern sense.

    I decided to look it up:

    Rami Malek: 37 (turns 38 in May)

    Robert Shaw: 36 during From Russia With Love. (Yes, I know he was a "physical villain.")

    Joseph Wiseman: 43 during Dr. No filming, turned 44 shortly thereafter

    Gert Frobe: 51 during Goldfinger.

    Donald Pleasence: 47 during filming of You Only Live Twice

    Adolfo Celi: 43 the year Thunderball was released.

    Telly Savalas: turned 47 during filming of OHMSS

    Charles Gray: 43 when Diamonds Are Forever came out.

    Yaphet Kotto: 43 when Live And Let Die came out.


    The point being that Malek isn't that much younger than many of the Bond villain actors in the early films. Plus, with good makeup, it's not that hard to make somebody look 5-10 years older. Don't take this as an endorsement. I'm just saying Malek isn't a kid.

    I have to say that I always look forward to seeing what your next reference will be.

    That shower scene was the best part of CR and one of the very best moments in the DC era.

    It’s not an idea I’d be super happy about but could Malek (if cast) play Blofelds son? Out to avenge his father.
    There is a 25 year age gap between Waltz and Malek. It would also tie in to SP without having to use Waltz it they didn’t want too. Again, just a thought.

    It's interesting that this is being mentioned because I was just thinking about this scene today when commenting about film length. This scene is so simple and yet effective in conveying the feeling between Vesper and Bond. It's really all that's needed to suggest that this is going to be a more indepth relationship for the viewer. The whole section after Le Chiffre's death doesn't have the same resonance for me, although that is where they establish the importance of the relationship. For me as a viewer, the pivotal moment to convey the essence is the shower scene. The rest is filler.

    Similarly in OHMSS, it's the scene at Draco's birthday between Bond and Tracy. Simple and effective. However, in this film they move swiftly and directly into the montage sequence, which quickly delivers the courtship without filler, all to Louie's song. More effective in my view due to the brevity of it, but I can understand how this can't be repeated.

    It would be brilliant if Bond’s first introduction to the villain in B25 would be in a game of chemin de fer. Similar to the scene in Thunderball where Bond meets Largo.

    Wasn't he also playing chemin de fer in his introduction scene in Dr. No?

    Bond plays chemin de fer numerous times in the films, most recently in GoldenEye, I believe.

    There’s something so very Bondian about him playing the game.

    John Gardner influenced perhaps? Tamil Rahani? For Special Services/Nobody Lives Forever?

    Agreed. It may be a very simple game to some, but I'd rather watch Bond elegantly dominate the entire table with his suave and sophisticated demeanor than get stuck at a blackjack table.

    Having previously taught Texas Hold 'Em and chemin de fer to people, they inevitably prefer the latter. Mostly because it's new, I suspect, but still.

    It’s odd that Kimmel put him so abruptly on the spot like that. No wonder Malek floundered in response.

    Interestingly, Kimmel seems to think that Malek’s casting is a done deal by his response. I’m unsure if that is entirely the case yet. Though I suspect he can do it. The ‘Bond
    villain’ role is a supporting part and could film around his Mr. Robot schedule.

    Plus, anyone who watches the show will know that while his character is the ‘lead’ of the show, the series has become more ensemble in nature with all the characters getting significant airtime (in fact, his character is often not the focal point of an episode – the recent ten episode third season had two full episodes with either no Malek or barely any).

    I don't know anything about Mr. Robot but I am guessing the producers would be happy for one of their actors to also appear in a Bond film and would try and accommodate this if possible because of the massive free publicity it would give their show. They would just write and schedule the actors part around his Bond schedule.

    With the growing awards buzz around Malek as Freddy Mercury you can also see why EON want him.

    Bobby Cannavale would be a perfect villain in my opinion, he played in HBO's Boardwalk Empire

    This. A bit longer hair makes Craig look younger, IMO.

    Craig & Viggo.

    I would rather Viggo going up against Craig's Bond than Malek, Malek is getting cast if he does because he's one of the hottest actors around.

    I've not seen him in anything but I think it stinks of trying to cast the flavour of the month.

    Whereas Viggo would have no problem being menacing and charming.

    Those 2, the chemistry between them would be great.

    That would work nicely.

    The tabloids are picking up on Craig’s change of appearance. Apparently, he is on a ‘Bond regime’ to get fit for the next film:
    https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/daniel-craig-skips-booze-rich-13835084.amp

    Which he really should. I mean, it’s his last movie as 007 and will instantly become part of cinema history - watched for decades to come. He owes it to the part.

    However, I did see him having a beer at the Globes......



    I’m kidding, he still looks great. I always thought he looked the most Bondian in SP in fact.
