Tom Hardy.

To carry on with the black guy as Bond, I think Chiwetal Ejifor would be superb. He's been brilliant in everything I've seem him in, from a brash transvestite in Kinky Boots, the dignified bandleader in that Steven Poliakoff thing, or the Samurai assassin in Serenity - not seen the Slave thing. All very different roles and in Serenity he certainly conveyed quiet menance which would do well for Bond.

That is that is the issue for many films, do you write a script and (shock horror) actually stick to the original book and characters, then cast an actor to fulfil that role by acting?

You mean like casting Tom Cruise to play Jack Reacher?

Why don't we just drop it, wipe the ghastly crap from our collective memories, grow up and never mention it again?

you miserable thing ! Even the weaker ones ar bloody good fun, apart from maybe the very worst.

My favourite is Russia with Love. The fight on the train, and Lotte Lenya with the spiked boots

It’s a self-serving sexist fantasy posited on privilege, the innate superiority of the English upper class and the need to defer to social superiors. It´s top-down class warfare. But you try burning down a cinema in response and see what happens.

He was a little "short" when it came to the author's description of his character


6'5", 250 lbs, 50" chest...

Not at all... That is the cinema interpretation, NOT the original Bond

After all these pages of reasoned argument and debate, as far as I have heard, Daniel Craig has already signed up for the next bond movie. It was mentioned on the radio this morning.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Bond is a money-making franchise and a huge box-office success. Which is why the next Bond won't be black. Money talks.

Strange then that the original (and the best) James Bond was a SCOTSMAN.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Wasn't Colin Salmon suggested/hyped before Daniel Craig?
