My thoughts exactly. Bean is a fine actor and always comes across as a decent guy off screen too.......so would have been good for 'the brand.'
Agreed. That was another one, along with cell phone & station break that was mentioned earlier. So this must have been their intention then....
It took some of the Britishness out of the whole thing for me.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is a station break called there?
A "Station Break" or "Commercial Break" is normally just referred to as '"Advertisements" or "Adverts", or more informally, "Telly Ads".
I don't live there any more so don't know if anything has changed, but both the term "Station" and the "break" were unusual and stuck out to me when I saw TND in the theatre for the first time. I remember thinking.....what's that all about?
Only problem is he would have been killed off.
Yeah, Brosnan became very irish when he did his "Bond, James Bond" line, almost like in my head after he says it I can hear Pan pipes playing.
Both will be far too old come the time. Likely 2019-2020 before they cast again. Sure EON will want someone who is young enough they can get 5 films over 10 year period. So I would say no older than 40-42 in the year 2020.
Roger Moore was in another time when they still could make a Bond every year or so. Let's not forget that he was meant to be replaced for FYEO and that he looked younger than his age. Just like Brosnan actually. If an actor wants to be Bond for a while he'll have to be cast younger.
I honestly think production will speed up in future after Sony are gone. Regardless for a Bond actor 5-6 films over 10-12 should be about right.
Fassbender has been my number one choice for a long time. He looks absolutely perfect for the role and is an excellent actor.
I suspect his chances will largely come down to timing. If DC wasn't doing another then MF would be a strong candidate, but as it is we'll have to wait and see.
Take over from Daniel.
Damien Lewis - No gingers please. An unsuitable TV actor with a very weak chin! Daniel Craig has a Steve Mcqueen look/ esqueness about him as per the pictures above. Lewis certainly doesn't.
yes but you fail to see the point, Moore made a movie a year. As fans we accept every 2-3 years. When casting now I think your looking at a Bond who will commit to an initial 3 films and go from there.
And most likely off the radar now.

His age may go against him. Age 44. I wonder if this news/gossip is leading up to Craig announcing SPECTRE is his final Bond film? Perhaps he's won't commit to five Bond films. My gut feeling is Lewis won't replace Craig. A younger actor will be the next James Bond. That's my guess. My other guess is Daniel Craig will quit after SPECTRE. Just a feeling I've got.
As for DC and is 5th Bond? I am pretty sure, ALL of those, who will decide on that, will wait for Spectre to happen and see how it goes. Inc.luding DC himself.
So, I am pretty sre, this is what the article says - an attempt to generate column inches.
Well quite.
