Mine as well. Mentioned it before, but I can even picture him when reading the books.
Yeah, me too.
And a trilogy would be quite enough if they bring on the production quality from the Craig era. If we were in 1995, he'd be the front runner with only 41 years old.
Bond is a man, an experienced civil servant. One who has a penchant for doing things with style and panache. Not a kid, a green agent who fails constantly. So I hope they don't go for this, and understand that we live in precarious times, and that we need a one good film at a time approach, with no continuity, and a stellar actor as a lead.
That's James Bond right there!
Yep.
Very much so.
Completely off topic, but does anyone else immediately think of The Saint when you see that round light in the ceiling, right above Roger's head?
My favourite Moore era Bond girl actress. I really like both roles she played.
Now, it seems to be Bond has also been keeping it on the down low due to Covid. He certainly has adopted the Corona look, incognito if you will. A trip to the barber will do the trick I reckon.
He would have been a horrible. An average actor at best, with a weak voice and stiff mannerisms. He literally does not tick any box..
He does have his own Dick Wolf show now, so he hasn't really disappeared either.
Is that from the Leonardo show that Bond is doing?
Indeed Bond has some psychological issues as of late, the man thinks he is da Vinci reincarnated. Let's give him some time to get out of the Corona funk he seems to be in. ;)

Owen wasn't really a big star then, and he would have been a pretty poor choice too.
Other than those two, the only other names I recall seeing in the press, at the time, where Craig, of course, Henry Cavill (far too young at the time) and Eric Bana.
Now, Bana, if he could pull off an English accent, would have been interesting.
He's another who seems to have fallen off the map a bit in relation to where he was in the mid/late 00s.
Currently in Netflix in a very poor show with Connie Britton. From A-lister to...whatever this Fox wannabe show is. Painful to watch Bana doing this, specially because he doesn't seem to have aged a day.
Martin Campbell saw Cavill's potential.
The guy was a lead in many A-star films. He was Henry VIII, Hector, Hulk,... (btw, those are many Hs, coincidentally). Maybe he was never any director's Robert De Niro, like Russel Crowe was to Ridley Scott for a while.
I'd say he's too good of a person to be a real star, but I don't know a thing about him ;)
That being said, I do recognise that disappearing act pattern in the art industry. It happens, and sometimes for the right reasons too. Who knows?
That's true. Great movie. Great acting all around. Love Craig's character too. "Papa was a Rolling Stone..."
