Midred Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Apparently Aaron Taylor - Johnson to be the new James Bond. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the character die a horrible death at the end of "No time to die"? Then they drank a toast to him after. That's going to be a bit awkward for them in the next film. I know quite a few actors have played the character over the years but it will be the first time after death! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Daniel Craig was shown getting his first (?) kill to make him a double O. Completely ignored Brosnan. Just restart the franchise again. The only shame is I liked Ben Winshaw, Ralph Fiennes etc who will probably be moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 (edited) Rather Henry Cavil. Fits the bill for a Bond and at the right age. The Aaron chap looks more like a junior agent. Could only work if it was more a prequel becoming 007. Edited March 20 by The Coach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 You also have many of the film titles having nothing really to do with the actual book apart from character names. Then there was the Thunderball court case which meant the co-author could claim rights. The result was the final Sean Connery 007 outing that isn't part of the Eon canon of James Bond releases. Sticking to some of the original book plots could be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong of course and we'd never know, but from what I've seen of Murphy in interviews and with his outlook on Ireland and the UK, it wouldn't surprise me if he'd turn the role down if offered anyway. Great bloke and a great actor, but Murphy and the ultimate British character? Not a fit that I could ever imagine happening.

Nah, George Lazenby is better , of the early ones Connery is 2nd. I kind of look at Craig's incarnation as almost a different genre , much more serious and my favourite of the lot.

Craig did the bit getting his double '0" , but they could go back as far as they want, even to where he was orphaned . It will be interesting , I loved the Daniel Craig version I just hope they keep up that standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
