Indeed.
Isn't that part of the fun anyway? Right now we're in the mystical slipstream of Spectre, not knowing what might be lurking around the corner. That thrill is part of the spectacle, I'd say. I know I'm enjoying the speculation a little too much, hungry for the next article :)
Yes but to @Mendes4Lyfe's credit he takes it in stride.

Woah! 1/2 odds. Simply incredible. If it doesn't happen, this will be the closet any actor has gotten to becoming Bond, without becoming Bond. The public clearly wants it.
now where have I heard that.
Mendes' comments were quite enlightening because I always assumed that the distributor would need to be sorted before they could cast a new Bond. But if it's all on Barbara (I imagine MGW will have some input too but probably takes more of a backseat nowadays) then maybe we could get an announcement sooner rather than later. Or maybe that's wishful thinking on my part. I'd love it if it was announced next week though, and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for them to do that before the script, etc, was finished. The whole announcing everything just before production starts seems to be a recent trend. Can't really remember the behind the scenes stuff for the Brosnan era very well, but CR was announced quite far back in advance iirc. 2004/2005ish. So the idea of them announcing the next actor before having anything concrete locked down doesn't sound too far fetched to me.
Come on mate. I don't think you deserve a lot of the stick you've been getting but you don't help yourself with hyperbolic comments like this.
Not too shabby indeed. Turner is the man to watch right now. From an underdog position in Hiddleston's shadow to frontrunner. He could bring back 'classic' Bond as intended by the man Fleming himself. Dark, brooding and cruel good looks, with a twist. A rarity nowadays. A mix between Dalton and Connery. Yes please.
Brilliant. Takes it in his stride. He's the biggest twat this forum has seen in a long time and he's got you all in his pocket you sad little men. Enough for me. I'm outta here.

There's that, and there's also the fact that their entire "scoop" is based on the idea that a bookie has said there's an announcement coming. The same bookie that said Hugh Jackman was a 2/1 favorite to take over for Pierce Brosnan.
Chill. Just saying doesn't phase him. Or seem to.
Pretty much every British actor (and Australian, and so on) in their 20s and 30s was considered the last time, as they most likely will be this time. The list last time was said to have grown to over 250 names.
As far as serious consideration, like Craig, Cavill, Visnjic, and so on got, I don't think Jackman reached that level, given Barbara Broccoli's opinion of his being "fey".
I agree. As far as the "fey' comment, is that a fact or a popular story? He is incredibly versatile and I dare say when he is in "bad ass" mode is as, if not more, intimidating than any of the Bond actors.
Come to think of it, Hiddle/Turner are quite different as well.
But why do you take this so seriously? This is just a message board. Words you see on your screen, nothing more. There's no reason to get worked up over someone's forum posts. Just ignore him and that's it. That's what I do when someone irritates me.

Unless he's lying like any actor would in this situation, I suppose, he sounds pretty confident that it won't be him.
Turner could pull off the look of Bond the best. As for his acting credentials, I don't see anything impressive. I'm not really sure where I could see him going with the role, but I haven't really seen much of his work. In contrast, Hiddleston would probably give a solid Bond performance, but he would evoke a continuation of Craig's Bond more than providing a new adaptation.
If they had a very good character director and a good script, I would prefer Turner.
Then we'll get an actor some time after.
I don't think either is happening next week.
