I agree and can't see them going wit an unknown.
If it's to be, now is the time for Fassbender.
Yeah they would have to get their act together soon.
If I were him, I would concentrate on trying to make a success out of Spidey first. He may want to purchase a set of lifts too (I realize that Craig's casting has moved the benchmark but this is getting ridiculous).
Idris Elba
Or
Toby Maguire
Maguire.
What made audiences love James Bond was how cool, but cold he was under pressure. People admired and looked up to Bond for that. That's what makes Bond cool, he can stare into death's face and would smile back. Think of Craig laughing at Le Chiffre during the torture scene, or Bond's smile when the bomb goes off in the Soviet consulate.
IMO that's why Timothy Dalton never really caught on with the general public. He wasn't cool, he cared too much & always looked stressed. When Connery, Craig, Moore walked into a room, you knew they were going to get something done and done their way.
On the other token, it's possible for this to backfire and then you get something like Diamonds are Forever. Honestly I think it's all about having confidence mixed with a high dose of testosterone.
IMO the only actor that could qualify for this right now would be Fassbender. His performance in Inglourious Basterds was pure FRWL-style Bond.
100% I think he will make such a good bond in fact that I don't see why we are waiting for Craig
All racial considerations notwithstanding he's too old now and he was too old already when mentioned.
Both Roger Moore and Daniel Craig have proven, you don't have to be like Sean Connery to succeed as Bond. You can throw Pierce Brosnan into that lineup as well.
This!
Certainly, there isn't that many actors who have all these qualities. Very few indeed.
This would also allow Dench one more go as M ;)
I've seen worse suggestions. I'm not sure his acting career is one that has a lot of history.
I have to ask why he would be suggested. Seems like a nice enough guy, and exudes a confident Bondian style I guess.
I'm afraid I agree.
Just had to double check my last page view wasn't April 1st.
