That's because of where the info has come from...people only have to read what the right people post - the info is all here for people to read for themselves -{

If DC isn't coming back (I hope he does) then I'll say it again;

Wes Bentley for Bond! As long as he can pull off the accent I think he would make the perfect Bond.

If Superman can be British, why can't Bond be American?

Tom has publicly said he wants the role...Eon would have to withdraw the offer at this point, I would think, for it to not happen.

They're even suggesting Rosamund Pike could play Bond... 8-)

Loeffelholz

If Jamie Bell were to be cast, after Craig succeeding Brozzer, they could could call 007 The Incredible Shrinking Bond. I reckon the logical choice for Actor #8 would be Peter Dinklage.

Just made a little video in which I share my thoughts on a female Bond. I'm quite conservative when it comes to this I guess...

There isn't much said in this video that I haven't already said here though

Have to say I am quite happy with Tom Hiddleston. Would have preferred Tom Hughes but never mind.in the coming Hiddlston war I will be on the incoming actors side, how things have changed since the craig wars of 05 ) ) just need a bloody good story with no personnel elements and M, Moneypenny ect just small roles and then I think I will be a very happy AJBer -{

I think Hiddleston is an incredibly charismatic actor. His Loki is probably the best villain I've seen in a movie in years.

I also wouldn't mind Philip Winchester from Strike Back

And I'd like to see them open up the franchise into an MI6 Universe film Like Marvel does with its super heroes. It could include M, Moneypenny and Q with a different 00 agent played by Idris Elba so Idris isn't tied to the Bond character development but can flesh out a new agent in the Bond world who can cross over into a multi Agent film with Bond so we can see these agents together.

And we could see a film in this universe every 1 & 1/2 or 2 years with Bond specifically in one every 3 years.

Thoughts?

Not a fan of it. Don't think it would work all that well. Focus n making good scripts and movies in the Bond Franchise.

Loeffelholz

Here's basically the same story as what I posted above (it IS turning up everywhere), this time from the same site who dismissed Tom two days ago for being too 'soft-featured':

http://www.indiewire.com/article/james-bond-tom-hiddleston-talks-daniel-craig-20160527?utm_medium=sailthru_newsletter&utm_source=iwDaily_newsletter

But once again, they (incorrectly) say that no offer has been made.

In the Internet Era, I believe a secret this size just gains mass and density until it can no longer be effectively contained.

For anyone who doesn't get this reference:
US actor John Gavin was signed to play Bond in DAF, but when Sean Connery accepted the unprecedentedly large offer* made to him by United Artists' David Picker then Gavin was quietly paid off.

* To Connery's eternal credit, he donated his huge fee to charity.

John Gavin


(Probably best remembered for his role in Hitchcock's Psycho)


And the implication is that should Craig change his mind, Hiddleston would be paid off ("pay or play"). This sort of technique is nothing new to Eon....

And I believe that history will have to repeat thusly for Craig to return...

Barbel

...which is not impossible at this point....

Loeffelholz

True...but I'm just not feeling it.

Barbel

Well, there is (sadly) plenty of time till they have to make an announcement.

Loeffelholz

I know

superdaddy

Perfect scenario, all confirmed that DC leaves and TH is cast by next month, 6 months getting great story, locations and rest of cast ( ahem.. Idris for main Villian) start filming January for November release next year. Won't happen though )

But he's publicly stated he would like the role...on numerous occasions...do you think he'd turn it down then ?
I suppose it's feasible a 'John Gavin' could happen...but that's as likely as you wearing decent footwear )

Don't be impressed by me, I'm merely repeating what's already been said on here...

I've been pretty clear that I wouldn't have a problem with Hiddelston but I just have this sneaking feeling that Hiddelston may be the Clive Owen of this Bond casting call...sometimes when things are just too obvious they just are. Maybe with the help of an all too willing internet we have created our own smoke and mirrors. Nothing would surprise me at this point. Hiddelston, Craig returning, Fassbender, Turner, a CGI version of Connery or someone not on the radar screen at all. -{

Daniel Craig is still James Bond. Anything else is just a rumour until we have an official announcement.

Stay tuned! This site has been known to slightly ahead of the 'common knowledge' curve from time to time. Indeed, Craig is Bond until he isn't. It's just that he'll not have been Bond for a while before public utterances confirm it to everyone's satisfaction.

He's officially still Bond. That's good enough for me.
