Great pics MBE. I love to see the gang all getting together.

I'd like to see someone do a photoshop of all six actors together, in their prime as Bond. It would be nice to see them in tuxedos (not sure if Lazenby ever wore a tux). Not sure what the best way would be. I'm sure it's possible though. Any takers?
*sidenote I don't own photoshop. If I did, I'd attempt this myself.
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
My guess for the date of the first b&w photo would be around the early 80s, perhaps during the OP/NSNA build-up or actual filming. Great photos, MBE, thanks for posting them.
While we're at it, I will stick this one in of Moore and Dalton. May as well keep this thread as a little gallery of the boys. It was taken during TD's Rhett Butler days.
Re reading this thread, I do find it amazing that this has never happened. To not have a proper pic from the BAFTA show is ridiculous. I suspect the only way it would happen if it was for a Vanity Fair cover or charity .
DC has only been photographed with Pierce as far as I know.
If there was a daltonnotbond site, I'm sure that pic would be on it. It reminds of that 'colonel sanders' pic of Pierce Brosnan awhile back!
This look .... may as well add this to the gallery as it has Pierce and Daniel Craig together, though its not a great pic of either of them.
MBE is right, facial hair was very 'in' in the 1860's
As for the Tim Dalton and Roger Moore pic, I have always just assumed it was during the Rhett Butler days. Even though this pic is easy to find and appears on the net from time to time, no one seems to know where or when it was taken.
I wonder if that's the only time two Bonds have shared the cover of a non Bond orientated magazine cover, or even one where they weren't photoshopped together.

Wow..I never saw that come out last year. Craig actually looks good there!

Lovely stuff- I've been looking for that for a while. I remember it came out just as the Craig rumours were going; it was quite fun to see them together. I'm not convinced they aren't photoshopped together, though: neither of them looked like that at the time and I don't think it's too easy to get all of those in the same studio at the same time. Might be wrong, but that would be my guess.
great topic... verry weird pics ( i must confess, is n´t something you find every day)
Ok, now you´re talking about bond actors connected in not bond events... i think it might be good try to find movie connections with some actors ( i don´t know if there is some topic about that, if thre is, send me there but NEVER CLOSE THIS ONE)
i don´t wanna lost this pics..
EDIT: didn´t find pics... but if you find them... i appreciate
Example: Brosnan worked with Geoffrey Rush (who i´ve alwais thought look like fleming) in " the tailor of panama", who worked with Craig in "Munich"

I think the entire cover spread of the magazine opens up to three panels of all the GQ Men featured in the magazine. (I don't know since a friend in the UK scanned it for me and she just scanned the top cover and the Pierce photos) They could have all posed together or it may be photoshopped. I can't tell from the photo. Though logistically photoshopping does make much more sense.
But they did look like that at the time the GQ photoshoots were done in the summer of 2005. Pierce's spread inside was done in July 2005 (when he cut his hair very short) and it's the same look. Craig's long hair I think was for Munich.
Johmss, there are a couple of topics on Bond actors sharing co-stars. I think they'd be somewhere in the off topic section.
I think on this one we're forgetting just how fragile the male ego can be - 3 big time movie stars - and one who's known for being an unsuccessful 1 movie actor (to the general public that is - not us that like OHMSS) - no wonder this hasn't happened.
Speaking of some of the Bonds being "together", I found this on YouTube the other day. I am loving YouTube, so many great clips on there to find..so little time.
Watch this. it's quite clever...it's almost as good as ieu2d's:
Top notch work, everyone. Its great to see photos of the 007's together. The more photos the merrier.
By the way, I' m convinced that the only way to get the 5 Bonds together is for a photo shoot for a magazine. Vanity Fair, GQ and Esquire seem the likeliest candidates.
This is not just Bond history, but movie history as well. A golden opportunity will be lost unless some enterprising young editor (who happens to be a Bond fan) realizes how cool this particular event would be for the magazine.
As I said at the beginning, the House Of Bond will truly be in order when the 5 Bonds shake hands and give their blessing to the newest member in the most exclusive club in the history of movies.
Once again, Roger is the lynchpin. If Roger sends the invites, everyone will appear. How do I know? Take a look at every photo of Roger. He looks like the happiest man on earth, sharing time with his fellow Bonds. And Roger is one of those men whose charm is infectious. Have you ever seen Dalton or Brosnan in a better mood?
Believe me, fellow Bond fans, what we are talkng about will turn out to be, in the long run, perhaps the single most significant photograph in the Bond universe. A snapshot in time. perhaps, but a moment that needs to be chronicled. This is about closure and, with it, a new beginning.
This topic is so ancient it predates CR... but I maintain that one single photo of six actors together would make every Bond-fan in the world jump for joy.
Isn't that enough? Just to say thanks to the fans.
Eon is really fumbling the ball on this one.
If you can get the surving memebers of Led Zeppelin to reunite then anything is possible in show-biz.
Six actors...one photo shoot...laughs all around...a few dollars for charity...a lasting image which would spell tradition and lineage.
Is that too much to ask for?

I think it would make for a great one-hour (or 90-minute) TV special---and the ratings would be through the roof.
Think about it: a short bio of each actor, intercut with the logistical challenge of getting all six actors in the same room...a 'mixer'-type sequence, where the fellows sit around, in an elegant room somewhere, perhaps have a drink or two, and simply chat, sharing their experiences...and finally, in the last five or ten minutes, show the photo session.
Not only would it make a superb special feature for a future Bond entry, it would sell as a DVD on its own---to say nothing about matted and framed "official" editions of the picture...$$$$
Admittedly, it's quite a pipe dream---with personality and ego (on one or two actors' part :v ) probably far out-stripping logistical headaches as a roadblock to getting it done; if Sir Sean wouldn't sit to do commentary tracks on his pictures, he certainly wouldn't sit for this. Lazenby, on the other hand, would probably do it just for the face time )
It's a pity. These gents aren't getting any younger...

Once again, Loeff, you have hit the nail on the head.
I would be satisfied with a simple photo, but your suggestion for a larger format would be a delight to Bond fans everywhere. And then some.
Logistics would be a major problem, to be sure...but we are talking about the posterity of movie history...a little bit of an effort for all concerned is not an impossibilty.
Perhaps a photo of six actors doesn't seem that important in the big picture but, believe me, the lack of one single photo of the six Bonds together is a black eye for the Bond universe.
Its time for all the slights and differences to be set aside. These six gentlemen are the only actors to know what it feels like to portray the most poupular character in movie history.
It is the most singularly unique club in show business. And posterity is required. Period.
Not only is the time due...it is way overdue.
So much time and negative energy is spent on something like craignotbond.com that it truly boggles me that there hasn't been a concerted effort made by the worldwide Bond community to create a buzz that would require these six gentlemen to stand together for one day.
I maintain that, in the long run, it will stand as perhaps the single most significant photo in Bond history.
Bond, in essence, is one man...with six different faces.
If you get 5 out of 6 of them to show up...fantastic...but the image would not be complete. All six are needed.
For you see, fellow Bond-fans, the only time we will ever see the complete face of our favorite hero is when six gentlemen look at themselves...and us...in unity.
And, lets face it, everybody would have a great time. Just look at those pix of Sir Roger with Pierce and Dalton and tell me these guys (and the others) would waste their time sobbing in their drinks.
Forever united...but always seperate...perhaps that is only way our six Bonds can exist in our collective imagination.

I've been wondering why SC decided not to record commentary tracks for the Ultimate Editions. Anybody know why? Still trying to distance himself from the character, perhaps?

Thats because EVERYBODY loves Roger

It's not exactly a gallery of alpha males, is it?
Roger Moore 1927-2017
Darenhat, that's no coincidentce, the Civil War era loved their facial hair.

Using my patented Roger-dating system I'd say that was 1980-82

He's just an inch away from a mullet!
Roger Moore: Most actors wouldn't go by on a conveyor belt for their colleagues but mine would because...
Timothy Dalton: Eeeeeeeeeeeverybody loves Roger.

Anyone got Vanity Fair's number handy?

"Bond."
I wish.
The assumption here is that no one has tried to get them together. I really cant believe it hasn't been done without good reason.

Actually I think there's more chance of him doing something like this, a one off historical photo, than a run of the mill film commentary.
Just dont stand him next to Pierce
It's a shame David Niven and Barry Nelson aren't with us anymore. They deserve to be in the group as well.
