If Villeneuve plays along and stays on with any of these he's lost all credibility; Amazon will have gained none, and Bond in general is straight up done.

I liked Elordi in Saltburn and Priscilla, and I also enjoyed Dickinson's performances in The Iron Claw and Babygirl.
Truth be told, I'll be okay with this if he grows his beard out.I really hope it's Tom Holland![]()

Na.. all bonds were close to 40.. perfect age to start. I really dont want a young "im learning the traits" bond.Dudes in his 40's. Unless its a Timothy Dalton type stint, he'll be in well into his 50's by film 3 or 4. I think they'll go for someone younger. Bit too similar in style to Craig as well for my liking.
Thing is they are past it before they start. Doesn't need to be learning his trade in his late 20's early 30's. Think Tom Cruise (34) in the first MI.[

That being said i wish they go for some obscure actor to be the face of bond and nothing else, and god please stay away from "moderm" tendencies
Well he was a very physical bond ... the first one really... so maybe this time they go for the classic one.. who knows. I jsut want a classic good bond movie because the last one was a travestyThing is they are past it before they start. Doesn't need to be learning his trade in his late 20's early 30's. Think Tom Cruise (34) in the first MI.
Gives them plenty of time to spend in the role should they want to. Didn't Craig say his last 2 films completely fucked him Physically?
Craig was hit and miss form me. I enjoyed Casino Royale and Skyfall. Everything else not so much. Brosnan's only decent effort was Goldeneye.Well he was a very physical bond ... the first one really... so maybe this time they go for the classic one.. who knows.

Roger Deakins as done bond before (Skyfall) and Villeneuve has worked with him on Blade Runner and Sicario, so I can see it happening.Roger Deakins is one of my favorite in regards to cinematographers. He did fantastic work on Assassination of Jesse James, No Country For Old Men, Jarhead and other movies. He would be a great choice and I hope they are able to get him for this movie
Who would you have picked, if I may ask?It's truly over
Who would you have picked, if I may ask?
Spielberg?? As much as I love the guys films I wouldn't want him anywhere near Bond tbf Nolan would be the only other choice other Villeneuve, possibly Guy RitchieLiterally anyone else but ideally, Spielberg
He always wanted to do it and probably still does
danny boyle was close to doing one but dropped out. i bet florence pugh is going to be the bond girl. denis villanueve could do a good metal gear solid movieSpielberg?? As much as I love the guys films I wouldn't want him anywhere near Bond tbf Nolan would be the only other choice other Villeneuve, possibly Guy Ritchie
Spielberg??

Now I'm gonna be spending the next week thinking up male sexual innuendo names....If these twinks are the options they are looking at then I'd rather they go ahead and make Bond a girl.
At least we could have some fun with the names of the "Bond guys"
Completely agree with you r.e. Spielberg being an absolute legend of cinema but I don't see him as a fit for a Bond movie tbh not to mention Spielberg don't answer to no one and you know what Amazon are like, also I didn't know he's tried 3 times to do a bond movie?? Really??Boyle Bond I would be 100% behind
And technically he already did it

He's arguably the most talented living movie director and I would be incredibly excited to see what he'd do with Bond, given that he's tried three times to break into the franchise.
Of course, there's a world of difference between making a Bond movie in the late '70s/early '80s and today, especially under Amazon's watch, and whether he'd want to do it under those conditions really is the issue. I'd love to see him try though.
also I didn't know he's tried 3 times to do a bond movie?? Really??

"Swing Low"
"Richard Long"
A female "Jane Bond" would be the largest disaster in entertainment imaginable. Literally ZERO people would pay to see it
The thing is Bond doesn't join MI6 and becme a 00 straight from college. He has a navy career and attained the rank of Commander, which is usually 15+ years of service (though maybe you can swing it and he is just a Lt. Commander) which still puts him in his early to mid 30's. I'm not 100% on what all Bond could do within the context of the Navy (versus the Royal Marines, SAS/SBS, etc) and still be a Commander, earn the high level awards usually attributed to Bond, etc, within a modern setting but his prior military service is a pretty key element to his backstory IMHO. I'm sure the Royal Navy is out there fighting pirates or having showdowns with Russian ships in some capacity which would allow Bond to distinguish himself in combat which then leads to the 00 path. I think a key element to Bond is that he is NOT a "Jack Ryan" type analyst or spook who just happens to do some killing, he is a fighter first and is sent in to do wet work. The purpose of the 00 agents and their role in the larger British intelligence community is often glossed over in the films.I wasn't completely serious in suggesting a female Bond but having wimpy guys like have been suggested in media articles is not the way to go either.
I can accept Tom Holland if they're doing a movie adaption of James Bond Jr. But as proper banging broads and getting blitzed on martinis during missions James Bond? Nah
Don't some of these MI6 missions take place on a school night anyway?
lol, that's the only cinematographer anyone ever knows. I mean fair enough, he's fantastic but ask people to name 3 others and they draw a blank.This man knows his cinema.![]()
lol, that's the only cinematographer anyone ever knows.
Which newer "32 and under" actors do you think would fit the role better?I wasn't completely serious in suggesting a female Bond but having wimpy guys like have been suggested in media articles is not the way to go either.
Danny Dyer would be better than him.I just hope they don't choose Tom Holland.
Which newer "32 and under" actors do you think would fit the role better?
I think the idea is they have to have a certain maturity (perhaps look and mannerisms) and they need to keep Bond around a long time for the audience to follow them from film to film, finally aging out just before 50. 32-50 is realistically the best years an agent of Bond's caliber would have anyway in terms of physicallity. Then they would go behind a desk. (Bond in the books in fact spent most of his time in an office). Missions were not one after another and more occasional than the movies let on. Also, after a mission he would typically get 6 months leave due to injuries and the healing process involved.I don't know. Not really up to date on the "32 and under" of Hollywood cause Hollywood's been pretty stagnant for a minute.
Is there a reason they'd have to be under 32? Or just to keep them onboard for several sequels?
Is the plan to do a reboot? Cause I don't think we need to start over, we all know who James a bond is.

Then they would go behind a desk. (Bond in the books in fact spent most of his time in an office). Missions were not one after another and more occasional than the movies let on. They want to keep a continuity they can work with for years (at least a decade) and switching Bonds too often they feel would really backfire.
As for a reboot, it's inevitable since Bond dies in the last one.
I think we want to pretend, but is Amazon just going to ignore it? Well, Sean did die in the beginning of You Only Live Twice, to be brought back after the opening credits so I guess it's possible. LOL!!!I thought we're all going to pretend that last one didn't happen.
