Quote from Wkpedia
"In Ian Fleming's stories, James Bond is in his mid-to-late thirties, but does not age.[26] In Moonraker, he admits to being eight years shy of mandatory retirement age from the 00 section—45—which would mean he was 37 at the time.[27] Fleming did not provide Bond's date of birth, but John Pearson's fictional biography of Bond, James Bond: The Authorized Biography of 007, gives him a birth date of 11 November 1920,[28] while a study by Bond scholar John Griswold puts the date at 11 November 1921.[29] According to Griswold, the Fleming novels take place between around May 1951,[30] to February 1964, by which time Bond was aged 42"
Given the current rate of production 2018 seems a bit optimistic for filming to commence on Bond 26. It would be great to go back to the times when there was a Bond film every other year, but it's more likely to average three years for the foreseeable future. It is considerably more likely that they will be looking for a younger (and probably less well established) actor to replace Daniel Craig.
Agree. The next Bond after DC will be an actor most of us have never heard of. With Henry Cavill doing "Superman" and now the "Man From Uncle" we can pretty much rule him out as DC's successor.
Henry Cavill thats a good thing he was awful in Superman, also wrong build for bond. Im not rulling out anything, Dan is such a good bond I dont want to concede he will leave after 25 and dont like to talk of replacements. I think Fassbender will be too old and well established for the role when the time comes. I would however like Barry Sloane he reminds me of a younger Daniel he has the soft dulcit tone to his voice and around the same build http://www.zimbio.com/photos/Barry+Sloane/Entertainment+Weekly+ABC+Upfront+Celebration/l-7wEg9JCN2 http://www.pinterest.com/pin/21673641931502261/

I've seen Aaron Taylor-Johnson suggested before, but he would have to show a lot more charisma and be a lot more animated before he would get my vote. He was such a cypher in Godzilla that I can barely remember any of his scenes! He was better in the two Kick-Ass movies, but still nothing I would consider to be Bond-caliber.
Perhaps he would be a surprise. After all, Craig surprised many people, including me. But Taylor-Johnson's lifeless performance in Godzilla doesn't inspire confidence. Although you point out that the monsters were the leads, they had very little screen time compared to the stars, and frankly Taylor-Johnson did nothing with the role.
Entire snow / ski sequence from" Inception " as inspired by the many
Bond films he'd watched. -{
You could have said the same about Mendes. He had done nothing along the lines of Bond before Skyfall. I reckon Barbs & Michaeal would welcome Nolan as a director. Eon under Barbs & Mike is all about modern reinvention so cant agree. If he is as big a fan as he claims to be I believe it will likely happen. I reckon the discussion he is saod to have had were to EON looking for a director during the period where Mendes was not willing to commit due to other comitments. EON eventually gave Mendes time to finish his stage production. It may even have been the case that Nolan was 1st reserve for Bond 24. I also think in a cinematic scale a Nolan Bond would epic.
No. Mendes is not a brand name. Nolan has the most rabid fanbase and is a name brand now. Mendes is not. Maybe earlier in his career Nolan woudl have done a Bond. Same as Spielberg. Will never happen now.
I wouldn't! James Newton Howard, perhaps.
I'm with walther p99 - I would love to hear what Zimmer would do with Bond -{
Be anything than subtle, sometimes it needs to be bombastic and blasted
Out.
Thought the music in Skyfall, with Bond climbing onto the lift sounded very
Batman ?
How can you say Mendes is not a brand name. American Beauty and Road to Perdition were hailed as Mendes's unique style of story telling. Nolan is the hot ticket now just like Mendes was in 1999 when American Beauty won 5 Oscars including best director. The Road to Perdition Won 3. A lot of people who did not enjoy bond films of the past but loved Skyfall, because they gave it a chance because it was Mendes's direction that made them see the movie.
After Bond 24 & 25 things will get stangant again. The only thing you can do it go bigger in a cinematic sense, Nolan does big.
Mendes is a gifted working director, and a more diverse one than Nolan, honestly. Nolan is some sort of cottage industry who makes not movies, but Christopher Nolan Films. If you can't acknowledge that much then I can't convince you.
