I'd prepare yourself for a different type of film entirely.
According to insiders, Rami Malek was being eyed for the villain role..."
That second dash is very confusing because it reads like the "mystery woman" could be the Bond villain. But then they say Malek so I guess the main villain is male?
I'd give the dash more credence (call it "Dashgate") if they didn't blatantly misspell "women."
He looks like a Dominic Greene clone to me.
This drives to the central and crucial point….how much of the Danny Boyle/John Hodge script has been kept?
At the moment we don’t really know if the villain will be male or female. The Variety articles talks about a ‘mysterious female’ role; this could be a fleeting cameo (like Severine or Lucia Sciarra) or perhaps the lead baddie.
Otherwise, the three actors rumoured for a villain roles (from Boyle to Fukunaga versions) are Rami Malek, Tomasz Kot and Said Taghmaoui. None of these actors are in the Oscar-winners league we previously had in SF & SP – though Malek looks sets for a nomination this season.
Are/were all three considered for the same role? We know from Taghmaoui that there was some internal debate at Eon whether they wanted a Middle-Eastern or a Russian character. I suspect Fukunaga decided on Middle Eastern if Malek is the frontrunner.
Personally, I hope the new Cold War angle hasn’t been dropped – it genuinely had me pumped for Bond 25.
Also, I’m really down for the Malek casting. He has a terrific look – that jawline, hair and eyes – and his performance in Mr robot has been consistently fantastic. He’s captivating in the same – even if series 2 and 3 weren’t as good as series 1. I’ve yet to see his Freddie Mercury.
He looks like a Bond villain.
Especially because
1. Those lines weren't spoken to the villain
2. The great line Bond delivered to the villain in SP was, "Well, get on with it then.
Nothing can be as painful as listening to you talk." Classic.
I dislike SP as much as the next guy, perhaps more so, but I think that line is not too bad.
That one I don't like.
Blofeld - "so many years up there alone silent building momentum until it choose to make it's mark on Earth, an huge unstoppable Force"
Bond- "Except it did stop didn't it right here"
Bang. Done
It was the delivery.
I didn't care for DC's delivery of either of the big lines to Le Chiffre: "When I start weeping blood" and "That last hand nearly killed me." It was a little too self-assured and cocky. But I can see why that appealed to many fans.
His best line ever is "I got a little itch. Down there. Do you mind?" The lines and the delivery were perfect.
If he has turned six, he will resent that remark.
I'm reminded of Robocop 2. :))
Indeed, he looks like a potential Bond villain - in about 15 years.
Granted, he IS a good actor. I'm just struggling to see him opposite Craig. I can't see it at the moment.
Blofeld raises him and pits him against his biological father. Now, he's known as Dr. Noah.
I wouldn't mind if this movie decides to use her. An actress like Gwendoline Christie can convincingly go toe-to-toe with Bond.
You guys are funny. Rami is 37 years old, Lea is 33. While Lea can be Daniel's gf Rami can't be the villain ...? hmmmm
