Exactly. As it has been said before, our future 7th Bond (007th) is likely a face we aren't remotely familiar with.
That's what I'm thinking. People like Fassbender would be cool - Hardy is a terrible choice, in my eyes - but it just isn't going to happen. Some of the others are a little bizarre; Jason Statham? Really?
Was that just a general sense of speaking, or did you switch your wording? I wouldn't think any of those four men are up-and-comers, especially Statham and Bale.
I am just saying that I don't think EON would go for the big stars that the ones I named have become, or even some who show potential that have been in a few films and have a decent word of mouth.
He'll be 30 in September- I wonder if he can act? By the look of him at least, he definitely has potential.....
Plus, i didn't see any movie with him, so i don't know if he can really act well.
Thirty is too young? :O
I know you didn't, friend, sorry for any miss understanding. I was just saying :)
Agreed.
To me, he looks more like Bond than Brosnan ever will.
Last time i saw a pic from him, was around '07 or '08. He was even more "Brosnanic" on the photo i've saw, as i remember.
I have no problem with a 30 year old actor playing Bond. IIRC Connery was 31 when filming DN, and Lazenby was 29 at the time of OHMSS. Even Brosnan would have been not too far off that age if he had been cast in TLD. And starting around 30 makes it less likely that we have an embarrassingly old actor in the role...
You may be right, but there is the thing of the maturity and class of the actor in role. I mean, a Young Bond wouldn't be wrong at all, however, if you see a bit more deeper, Bond wouldn't be able to learn everything that he knew in only 10 or 15 years. For a man like him, he'd need so much more time to get the training that MI6 would require.
Adkins has a small role in Bigelow's stunning Zero Dark Thirty, and definitely looks more along the lines of Fleming's idea than Daniel Craig
Weclome to the club. I've been suggesting Adkins as Bond since I saw Assassination games :) Great choice.
Nothing I've seen him in suggests that he has the "movie-star" presence to be Bond. He strikes me as a direct-to-video level actor.
alot of people are saying tom hardy and I agree with them, by the time craig has stepped down hardy will be approaching 40 a good age to take on bond, but I feel they should try a younger bond to appeal with the new times, but it is most likely that the new bond will be a small time actor that has done some roles and has all the bond characteristics, and whos says bond will carry on they may decide to stop it, or craig to continue. who knows..
