Wrong colour. Blofeld should never be sort of pale green
Good call on Brent Spiner - he hadn't entered my mind - that pic looks like he would be a great Blofeld.
I still stick by Gary Oldman as a great Blofeld for a Nolan directed Bond film.
Look at the - not perfect - edition i made on his face:
Lol! Nice job!
Anyway there are plenty more options. as above listed, Brent Spiner's a good one.
Mikael Persbrandt could be a great Blofeld - given that he is a bit younger than in the older Bond films.
And he looks more like Ralph Fiennes in that shot.. Hahaha!
Just my idea, but I think Michael Fassbender, in this sense and in my idea, would make a good Blofeld
Fassbender would make a better Blofeld IMO than a future Bond.
Great call!
I was thinking recently that Tom Hardy would actually make a brilliant Bond - and Fassbender would instead make a great rogue agent turned bad guy!
I'd make Blofeld a man of action and a pseudo-terrorist as he was in OHMSS, but keep the sinister aspects of his nature from YOLT as a man who has become the head of one of the arms of Quantum or some predecessor to SPECTRE. I'd also keep his origins ambiguous making his intentions even more ambiguous also e.g. he could for instance talk in stark received pronunciation and yet openly show contempt for England and MI6. So I'd cast someone who is a chameleon actor - so someone like Gary Oldman - though if I was directing I'd get him to get fitter - perhaps a younger actor could be cast.
Furthermore wasn't he killed at the end of Diamonds are Forever, or if not that, then For Your Eyes Only ?
The guy's having more comebacks than Frank Sinatra it seems, but it's something I hope never sees the light of day
Personally I cannot wait for the return of Blofeld and SPECTER in the Bond franchise because they are as timeless as M and Q. What I do not want though is a meager Donald Pleasance with a scar type Blofeld, but rather a return to the original as he was described by Fleming in Thunderball: tall, heavy, strong, black cru-cut hair, and with features like Mussolini. That said, I would like the character to be re-imagined a bit as well. For instance perhaps he could be Russian, or even American. At any rate, he needs to be a physical match for Craig’s Bond, despite being probably 10 years older.
He did something similar in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (BBC) when he played Karla, which isn't a rejection, just a trivia.
Craig's timeline is separate to the previous 20 films so would therefore make it theoretically possible. Whether it's a good idea remains to be seen. I can't see them doing it during his tenure but perhaps if they need a great hook for the next actor and have a decent reason for it, then I'm all for it. At the end of the day, the mere mention of the name would suffice.
exactly!!! :) I feel the problem is that Austin Powers and Dr Evil have sort of whitewashed the character of Blofeld and painted him as passe or pastiche in peoples minds. For instance; if Myers had done a parody of Batman, and portrayed the Joker as a character called The Evil Clown, and then embodied the character with all the shallow elements of what the Joker has e.g. laughing, evil, dressing as a clown etc then maybe he would have tinted that character with a sort of air of passe-ness. Whereas Nolan has taken the likes of Scarecrow, the Joker and Bane and transmuted them into a more complex set of villains.
I agree with this as well...sorry to double post
I want Blofeld to return, but I don't want SPECTRE back unless they ditch Quantum. No point having 2 evil organisations.
So either ditch Quantum or have Blofeld working solo.
I would reintroduce Quantum and show that the organisation has expanded and infiltrated MI6, as well as co-opting many crime syndicates and reinstating them under Quantum's leadership.
But then I'd show that there is a large group within Quantum who want more overt action and want a dangerous criminal called Blofeld to lead Quantum.
I'd explain via flashbacks how Blofeld tried to stage a coup, but the heads of Quantum had him taken out of the picture by having him shot, and imprisoned in a large Quantum complex (why they wouldn't just kill him, I haven't quite worked out lol). I'd iterate that Blofeld was so dangerous even the head figures of Quantum feared him and his ever increasing brotherhood/following.
Then I'd have a core of Quantum operatives storm the complex where Blofeld is held and set him free - freeing Blofeld to take over Quantum, ultimately making Quantum in to the larger organization SPECTRE.
I'd have Blofeld as more of a terrorist than a scheming Dr Evil-genius - I'd cast Gary Oldman/Daniel Day Lewis as a balding Blofeld who commands more like Telly Sevalas or Bane rather than sat in a chair stroking a cat. Though I would have Blofeld still have a cat as well as other strange eccentricities that mystify those who follow him. In all...Blofeld would be rather a Hitler-esque figure mixed with Bane's terrorist sensibilities.
You had me at "reintroduce Quantum"! Brilliant suggestion. Not sure DDL would ever be interested but perfect casting if it ever happened. They could call the film " The Spectre of Quantum"!
