Whether Craig looks too old is, of course, highly subjective. I happen to think he does. That doesn’t mean I think Bond 25 can’t be a classic, and it doesn’t mean Craig looks bad. It’s not black and white. I would just prefer an actor in the 30-45 range in the role. That’s where Fleming put Bond. I don’t think its an unreasonable opinion.
I think Craig looks much better now then he did in Spectre, especially during filming in Jamaica. Probably because unlike Spectre (besides the brief shot in the intro) he'll probably have shirtless scenes again.
The Mail's next headline: "Man Looks Slightly Older Than He Did 13 Years Ago Shock"
Have to say the Daily Hate’s coverage of this film so far has been awful. They’re making out there’s some sort of curse on the film, with Grace Jones’ alleged exit being the latest such evidence...also if I have to read that alleged quote one more time... “well polished sh!t show”
Japanese proverb say, "Bird never make nest in bare tree".
Whether Craig looks too old is, of course, highly subjective. I happen to think he does.
Curious, how old are you? I honestly can't see how anyone older thna 30-35 could think Craig looks too old right now. He looks great for over 50. I know many 30 year olds who look worse.
I also don't think even if Bond looked like he was 60 would be too old. 60 isn't as old as it used to be and many are still spritely. 70? Yeah that's pushing it. I didn't think Indy was too old at 65, but I do think 75+ is too old.
The article also says that an 'evocative' train station in the town of Gravina has been of particular interest to the Bond25 location scouts. How they know is anyone's guess. The only train station I can find in Gravina with the help of Google maps is not at all evocative, but there is a nice Church opposite. https://goo.gl/uuav2a

Will be there in a couple of weeks. Will keep my ear to the ground and report back if I hear anything :007)

I am 33. And notice I did not say that I thought Craig looked bad. He looks better than many men of his age, including Connery and even Roger when they were of that age. His physical condition would be the envy of about 98% of the male population of any age. I guess that’s not really the point. I just happen to find a younger Bond to be more compelling.

I get your point. Obviously, Bond 25 was written for Craig as an older Bond.
Going forward for Bond 26, it would make sense to do a soft re-boot and cast a younger, early to mid 30's Bond.
I think Craig looks great and is looking Bond ready at 51 going on 52......Bond 25 will likely do huge numbers at the box office and I think people will be begging for DC to stay on for one more.....I think he should return as looks wise he can pull off at least one more after B25.
The guy is looking in super shape (QOS and Skyfall) esuqe and has lost a good amount of weight.....going back to a Bond who is in his early to mid-thirties would not be that great...just my two cents.
Daniel's face has looked much different at various points of Bond 25. At the announcement of the film in Jamaica he looked fantastic. But alongside Prince Charles two weeks ago his face looked hardly an different that Prince Charles'. So I don't even know what to expect. But I do expect he'll be wearing a lot of sunglasses in this film to help him look younger.

Not looking to pick a fight here, but with all due respect, I think we all can agree that the craggy Craig at 51 is no baby face but you are either grossly overstating to support your opinion or need to see an opthamologist re Craig and Prince Charles. 8-) ) -{

"Take the low road... Not that low!"
I've read there's a car chase in Matera, Southern Italy for BOND 25's opening sequence. Perhaps it'll take in these locations. Hope 007 goes a bit faster though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh5kvV79Kqs
It looks like we are going to see Q's cats after all as the Daily Mail reveals that DC and Naomie filmed in south London outside a "terraced house" and they were visiting Q.
DC is still in his M meeting outfit and so is Naomie, but the jacket looks different to the one that can just about be spotted on the back of her chair in her office. So, I guess they have just come from the M meeting. As we've seen DC film his arrival at Whitehall, I think we can safely assume that they are visiting Q after the meeting with M. I'd imagine this shoots down my theory that Q is the kidnapped scientist.
Got hand it to the Tabs, they do have great tenacity when it comes to reminding everyone of all the "disasters" that have beset this "cursed" and "doomed" production. 8-) )
PTS is Bond marrying Madeleine and then OHMSS like she is killed. I think the DB5 chase is this. Maybe we'll see some imaginative use of the original Goldfnger DB5 gadgets during the chase.
After the credits the film moves to Norway, maybe the scientist's family, as it can't be a Madeleine flashback if she was murdered in the PTS. We see the scientist's daughter running from Malek's villain. I can only imagine that the Madeleine look-a-like casting call was EON disinformation or just bullshit by that casting website. I assume that between the PTS and the film's move to Jamaica, Malek's villain gets hold of the genetic technology McGuffin that is so important.
By 30 minutes we are with Bond in Jamaica seeing his life as a widower, spear fishing, on his yacht, etc.
At 45 minutes Bond is in Jamaica and he meets Lashana Lynch in a night club. At some point about now he should be meeting Leiter and Magnussen's CIA agent.
At one hour 10 minutes Bond is in Cuba and this is probably the scientist rescue attempt that goes wrong. He'll meet Paloma in Cuba. I guess she gets killed quite quickly.
Bond returns to Whitehall and has the meeting with M between 1 hour 30 or 1 hour 40 minutes into the film and Lashana Lynch is with him. The Household cavalry, as their based in Whitehall, might have just been an establishing shot for Whitehall, and not the Mall for Buckingham palace.
And we now know that Bond goes to see Q with Moneypenny after the M meeting.
We know the Vantage Volante is Bond's car and so it must be him in Norway with the Range Rover chase. I assume that Q somehow helps and Bond goes to Norway on the trail of the scientist he fails to find in Cuba. Bond could be in Cuba by the one hour 50, 55 minute mark, and the final, 20-25 minute, third act will be in Norway, for a 2 hour 20 minute movie.

I must admit, this sounds accurate as to what we've seen and sounds like a terrific film and would be excellent! Excited to see the Matera filming as this will be a big PTS for the franchise if it plays out as expected above. The DB5 chase and use of the original gadgets would be great!
All in all a mouth watering film if it goes as per this prediction, i would be 1 happy fan -{

A while back I found this Italian news article which says Gravina might be in the film.

Yes, the Daily Mail story about Naomie Harris.

Think Cary was on record saying there is a lot more to her that he wanted to explore so hopefully he is not referring to her Corpse.
Im hoping instead they are reunited later in the film somehow
My money is on this. I’ll be very disappointed if they bring her back just to kill her off.
