James Bond 25 - Speculation and Anticipation Thread*

I wouldn't trust the above 'scoop' as anything other than hearsay and conjecture; other than the fact that particular 'newspaper' - and I use the term loosely - has never been reliable, it says that John Logan is involved and we know that's not the case... it's Purvis and Wade scripting again this time out.

When Craig is officially back, we'll know for sure in due course...

 

The cut/style of the suit isn't much different. Craig just wears his tighter. He works out so much more than Firth for this Bond gig that he can get away with it, where Firth would look absolutely ridiculous.

 

Nah. Besides, if you want headshots and death, get the guy that directed John Wick

 

The best bit about the possibility of Christopher Nolan directing is I think I once read that his favourite film was OHMSS. Man of taste.

 

Somebody needs to post a list ranking all the Bond flicks based on the tightness of his trousers.

Maybe Leggy Mountbatten should be picking the next Bond.

 

I have often said that the Bond steals in Inception were the most entertaining thing in the whole movie. It's not impossible that Nolan would consider directing a Bond film.

 

David Lynch. Kyle as a bad Cooper type as the villain

 

Nah, Laura Dern.

Dern: What did you say your name was?

Bond: Bond. James Bond.

Dern: F*** you, Mr. Bond.

 

Great news! I really love him in the role.

 

Actually, he can't. He constantly looks like a sausage ready to burst from its casing. We all know that this rather ridiculous skinny fit is fashionable right now (although it seems to be on the retreat somewhat), but that is the difference between fashion and style. The former is pandering to young men (and those who mistakenly consider themselves still a part of that target group) and looks absurd in a couple of years (if not already), the latter is timeless.

 

Craig ?
He should bow out he has so many other interesting commitments.

 

Craig is 50, 5 0.

Firth looks way more Bond,though admits he's too old for the part.

 

Craig can pass for mid to late '30s. More importantly, he conveys the gravity and maturity, as well as the physical demands to pull off the roll. Younger actors wouldn't be believable here, generally. His suits don't bother me; perhaps I'm not as focused on them. It is an updated look and feel for the franchise, whether we're talking clothes, technology or cinematography. The lack of absurd gadgetry is another welcome update.

 

Well the Bond producers agree with you. Nothing to complain about then.

 

hmmm..late 30s guy that almost look 50 y.o...

2012 pics (he was 44)





...this is Brosnan, 50 y.o. at the 2002 VH1 Awards. Brosnan is the one on the left side

 

I still find Nolan's thematic choices that arise from the script more entertaining than even his action sequences. For example, the imagery of his children, the voiceover about waiting for a train, the dream within a dream concept--those were what did it for me. I think all of his films at key points repeat imagery of children alienated from their parents to deliver an emotional wallup that is just absent in most directors' work.

 

Ladies man. Oh oh seven!!!

 

I wish they would remake the films in chronological order and set in the era they were written.
Great books.
I really enjoyed DCs Casino Royale , but then it went down hill. The short story Quantum Of Solace is 1000x better than the film.
Just my 2c

 

This.

 

Why did you post a picture of Remington Steele?

 

That would be a great reboot.

 

Next Bond after Craig. Place your bets.

 

Can't Daniel ever make up his mind about what he wants to do?

 

Who is he?
