I liked Brosnan but he simply couldn't bring that intensity to the role Craig has bought, so i just couldn't see him playing Bond in the Craig films. He does suave brillantly but when it came to the dangerous side of Bond I just didn't believe him. His films were dumbed down entertainment and his Bond suited that. But he doesn't have that dark edge to him that Connery and Craig had. But he does look good on that Skyfall Poster.
Where iam wait on be Thomas Crown Afair 2, if Eon make this one of there unbond projects that be fine. Now iam very curious to November Man for next year with Olga Kurylenko, this of course wil mabey also created some funny new fanarts. Because of his daughter death he whas not seen in Percy Jackson 2, but i hope he wil return for the other movies if that be the case.
Amen.
I'm a Brosnan fan and I agree.
Not all Brosnan fans are delusional, and I guess every change of actor brings its share of blind nostalgics.
He could easily play an older spy (and has done) but it wouldn't make sense in the Bond universe and would ultimately move the series backwards.
And obviously, he does not have the same status as Sean Connery, so coming back does not make any sense.
Quite true, he doesn't have Connery's status or even remotely close to that, at least in my eyes anyway. It was a novelty to have Connery return in 1983 even if it was an atrocious unofficial third rate remake that doesn't belong in the Bond canon. Ultimately though, he came back for the same reason he did in DAF, it was about the money. And unfortunately, helping McGlory stick it to Cubby while he was at it.
It saddens me, @Matt_Helm, that you struggle so much with the popularity of Daniel Craig that you have to produce such a provocative post.
All the "Craigativity" and his negative remarks have long been grating to me, period. Just read his last 25 posts and you'll see the common thread running throughout, if it isn't SF then it's Craig. But it's opinion, and you can't take that away from him as long as he follows the rules. It reminds me of a passage in the Godfather when after Don Corleone tries to be reasonable for hours with a notorious strong-arm and fails, he finally throws his arms up in the air and says "But no one can reason with this fellow!". I won't be addressing him directly any longer on this, it's a waste of time and breath.
And people accepted Connery back, at least in DAF and he was the logical choice if one wanted to create a competing franchise, so it made sense to re-cast him. Brosnan does not have the stature of Connery, the supporters and moreover audiences have moved on from his Bond, so this is a ridiculous idea. And this is even regardless of his age, a reason enough in itself to disregard completely the hypothesis of the OP. I mean he is older now than Moore was when he left Bond. And some people think he could play after Craig's tenure? What's he gonna fight? Arthritis?
Sorry you see it this Way. I was merely making a joke regarding my opinion on the possibilities of a Brosnan Comeback (and an acceptable good one I think ). Also, not even SFs supporters deny,that Craig looks really quite old with this beard/stubble/whatever. Not that I'm aware of,however.
No he is 60! There really is no pushing about it!
Read my amended post above.
@Ludovico- if I understand those including my late wife and very much alive children who don't like my cigars, he may also be battling halitosis as well :))
So can he do one more Bond after Craig's tenure? I am somewhat skeptical about this.
No you should be more than skeptical? He really cannot return to Bond. It's an absolutely appalling notion to even suggest it. Hell, why not bring back Connery on that basis?!
You musht be joking laddie! I'm retired, you know ;) I wouldn't pay to see any of the older Bonds come back after the results of NSNA. And DAF wasn't so hot either.
