This excites me. Imagine a Turner/Campbell Bond 25 ticket. The film of my dreams. I-)
I hope Babs has had the good sense to at least audition potential actors by now.
Ugh, the gentleman Bond thing again. The boring soft version of the character.
If by Craig style you mean tough and cool, I'll take that any day of the week.
By the way, even though this is the Next James Bond thread, I am surprised that nobody is adamant that Craig should return. It almost feels like it really is a good time for a change of lead actor.
nope I am Adamant Craig should stay!
About the Craig/Hardy comparison it was, indeed, not a bad thing but I feel like we should have something different. If it's too close we would say "Yeah it's like Craig he doesn't bring anything more/new" But it's just my opinion :)
I don't recall. Looking at a couple of lists it's all a bit hit and miss. Some of these people aren't even actors, and even the ones with high odds are they seriously being considered one has to wonder.

Seem to be the bookies favourites. But are they on EON's list. That I suppose is something we'll just have to wait and see. Craig was a shock casting when he was announced, maybe the next Bond will be as well.
As to whether Daniel Craig returns as Bond I think it's a 50/50 bet at the moment. With little news on Bond 25 it's easy for tabloids and forums to run rampant with speculation.
No harm in guessing and a little fun to pass the time.
DC was cast to reboot and to make a marked change from the past. That was the whole point of him. He was a big risk and bet.
This time around there is no reason for a big change. In fact, they may want continuity of sorts with the casting (in terms of character if not physical attributes). So less risky moves this time imho.
How about Adam Ant?
Of the recent names Aidan Turner is the best. I would not mind him as Bond.
Hiddleston is ingrained in Marvel. And he doesn't have the rough quality to be Bond. The others are too old to start being Bond except for Norton since he's thirty, but I would take Turner over him.
He was brought up somewhere in the pages buried beneath here so I'll bring up Oliver Jackson-Cohen again.
With the advantage that he is relatively unknown and isn't ingrained in other roles.
Faster is his critically less-well received counterpart to DC's Layer Cake.
Still don't think it'll be any of the names mentioned, unless they blow EoN away in a screentest...
I don't think, his decision will have to do anything with more money. He gets - and knows that - his fair share already. And regarding schedule. He knows, they will have to start end of next year. There is nothing to negotiate.
I think I understand that Craig has an option to do a fifth.
Would be troubling if he drops out because of script even though I don't always agree with Craig's vision of Bond.
I'm afraid not.
I don't expect a sign of life from EON before Autumn 2017.
What makes you think that? I think, its save to say, there is a big chance, they will start shooting by then. So if they take their time, autumn 16.
WTF?! That's insane. EON, stop sitting on your thumbs please, thank you.
Some one wake me up when September comes. (:| I-)
If Craig stays the next Bond movie could be announced somewhere early next year.
2016 is somewhat unrealistic.
they announced the first set of writers for Skyfall july 2009
I suspect this summer we will get something regarding bond 25
I-) ...! :-O wow, that was quick.
Unless, they already know exactly who they want and have already contacted and locked in that actor, likely, no, but possible
Seems like a plausible choice.
Skyfall was originally going to come out in 2011 though. So on that basis we should get that sort of info around summer 2016 assuming a late 2018 release.
