    I don’t know, I’m ready for a bit of a change. I wouldn’t mind a DAF type out of shape Bond. Something different and unexpected, especially for Craig’s Bond.

    If Craig in Bond 25 look anything like DAF Connery, I'll have a genuine laugh out loud moment! :D
    And Connery still looks more Bondian in that pic than Craig at his best. Just a testament to Connery being the real deal. Everyone else is an imitator. Only Moore can give Connery any serious competition when it comes to the ideal cinematic Bond.

    Moore is my favourite actually, and a big part of that is that he didn't try to copy Connery – he just went ahead and did it differently.
    Dalton is mine because he didn’t do what Connery or Moore did

    Shame he only did a couple of films!

    For me it’s really a toss-up between Connery and Moore. I guess it all depends on my mood. Though I’ll say that Connery in GF is the ultimate representation of 007, especially in that white dinner jacket. Will never be topped!

    Wouldn't argue with Connery being the ultimate representation of 007 in GF, but instead of the white dinner jacket, it's the navy blue suit he wears when he gets the Aston Martin that makes it the ultimate representation for me. Moore of course had the 70's fashion to "struggle" with.

    Makes me wonder how the tight-fitting suits of the Craig era will be looked upon in the future.



    Well with Dalton it’s a mixed bag for me his two films are near perfect but let’s look at the Craig era (or at least how I view it)

    Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace are top notch but Skyfall and Spectre are meh to worse true he could pull it out with Bond 25

    But the same thing nearly happened with Dalton

    I’m sorry but The Property of a Lady would of been abysmal Bond fighting a Sex-bot is all I need to know about the film to know it would of jumped the shark in a way that made Die another Day and Moonraker feel flemingesque

    @Risico007 the cyborg thing would have only lasted two minutes and there's a very small chance it would have made it to the screen. With that scene omitted and a few other things done a little differently, then Bond 17 with Dalton would have been a pretty fun flick. His GF or TSWLM.

    It wasn't called The Property of A Lady. That's just a public rumour.

    I wonder how that rumor got started anyway. I still like to think that would have been the title.

    I'm not convinced that Dalton could have pulled off a GF/TSWLM type flick personally.

    Even though I would have liked a third Dalton effort, to a degree I'm glad he stopped with the two he did. I think his era is internally consistent at least.

    How does Dalton usually do in more fantastical movies? I haven't seen The Rocketeer so maybe that would be a good indication.

    Agree. TLD is as balanced as a Bond film could possibly be. Another one like that would have been my preference.

    It's a good point and I haven't actually seen that film myself. I can see him doing the adventurer type well enough, but it's more the lighter humour and demeanour that usually accompanies these more larger scale efforts where I have trouble visualizing him being comfortable or a natural.

    I just have an image of him as Mr. intense Bond who can snap at any moment.

    Back on the topic of Bond 25

    I am assuming January is when we will start getting rumors and this is truely the calm before the storm so as we go into the season of Bond I would like to say thank you to everyone this ride has been probably the most intriguing of any bond film to date with rumors of a new actor rumors of different direction and then the same direction etc Danny Boyle in then Danny Boyle our and now something none of us thought we would see in our life time An American Director... (which I like to think made Spielberg slightly annoyed)

    Over all we can all say a lot of things but the last 3 years have been anything but boring

    It's the usual criteria of biased Bond fans shoehorning unused Fleming titles. With the available premise of Dalton's unrealized third film, there's no indication how the title would compliment that treatment or the topic of the script in any way.

    Well, the Bond franchise was about to become the 'Property of a Lady' and that's probably as good as it'll ever get :))

    Considering the lack of leaks/news, it's very hard to believe filming will start in just 92 days...

    I don't know about everybody else, but I'd definitely trade all of this drama and excitement (and I'm sure we'll have more, just based on evidence to date) for a film released on time and within a 3 year timeframe at most going forward.

    I know it would have been a left field choice (like Craig), but I sometimes wonder how Toby Stephens could have been as Bond (if not already having played a villain, of course).

    In hindsight, he would have ben a good choice and shouldn’t be judged by his role in DAD.

    I’m hoping we hear some info. this month. Hopefully by the end of December. Then again, with the holidays I could be completely wrong.

    Judging by Craig’s weight gain and the freshness of a new director I would say no news until March-May?

    Filming starts maybe in June? I think CF is used to the tv time frame so it wont take them long to film. We shall see..

    Valid point. I’m even starting to wonder if filming will be delayed a few more months.

    I think he did just alright i DAD. He played a nasty character just fine (and it wasn't that much to work with script-wise).

    Did he? Would have been interesting with a former villain actor ending up playing the hero himself.

    If it’s not effects heavy it could be a relatively fast period of principle photography, with a similar post production.

    Ultimately, he did get to play Bond, after all. ;)

    Just not on the screen.

    Filming is SUPPOSED to start in March. @CASINOROYALE may be correct in saying filming will start in June instead.

    I don’t see it being effects heavy, one thing I am worried about is CF’s lack of movie experience, especially with a huge budget. Hopefully he isnt overwhelmed. Storywise I am not worried.

    I wouldn’t be concerned; he has worked as a cinematographer and in other technical capacities. Jane Eyre is gorgeous. He’s a director with a strong technical pedigree.

    I think we should keep in mind that it's quite possible the budget will be significantly scaled down this time around. All of the directors they were looking at (bar Villeneuve) weren't so experienced with big budgets, including Boyle, Demange, Layton, Clarkson etc.
