I like all the Bonds and all the films except the last one. No Time To Die showed Bond as jaded and in the opening scene that's supposed to pull you in to the story, he was arguing with his girlfriend. He seemed tired. I want Bond to be the cold, womanising, hard drinking killer he's supposed to be not some whiney bore in touch with his feminine side.

I'm not going to go through them one by one but, loosely, I can appreciate the Connery era for what they are (movie history), Moore is hit and miss though honestly I find them more boring than not (maybe I just find him boring :think: ) ... I enjoy the Brosnan era because it's all a bit over the top and cheesy but that's fun... obviously Goldeneye is peak. Might just be because of my age at the time and nostalgia I suppose. Casino Royale is a great film, Quantum of Solace LITERALLY put me to sleep, Skyfall was decent and I've not seen the most recent two.

All of that said - I've not seen any of the old ones for 15+ years and having recently rewatched a few older films that I wouldn't particularly have rated when I saw them as a kid/teen/20's, and found that I thought they were brilliant, so who knows. Maybe my opinion would be different these days.

For example; watched The Sound of Music with eldest recently, which my sister loved as a kid and I despised... discovered that it's actually a great piece of cinema. Shocked to my core with that one.

Little Shop of Horrors also (the 80's one) - I remember I vaguely liked it as a "silly weird film" when I was a kid, watched it recently, fkn loved it. Maybe I'll have to force myself to sit through a Roger Moore bond film.

couple of actors who'd make proper bond villains i think

- Rafe Spall
- Skeet Ulrich (i mean it would be nice seeing him playing a baddie again, a first since Billy Loomis in the scream franchise, also think he could pull off a similar psychotic villain like Carlyle's Renard)



and considering S.E.A.L Team has ended, how about David Boreanaz for the role of some CIA operative?



Henry Czerny would also be a good shout as he already has some experience with spy films like in Mission Impossible, and he played a bad guy before in Supergirl (The Toymaker)

Denis Villeneuve

He Directed the 2nd Blade Runner
and Dune films


Has been announced
as the New 007 Director.


Of course, the New James Bond
is still to come.


Ref:GMBHD itv

I hope that Pedro Pascal and Zandaya get cast as James Bond and Bond Girl.

I haven't seen them in awhile.:hehe:

Pedro Pascal wouldn't be a great James Bond actor though


although i could see him in another role :think: maybe in a similar role to Felix Leiter, but then a original character



out of these actors shortlisted for Bond, Tom Holland is the one with most experience i think, but Jacob Elordi would be a nice risk worth to take i think, considering his success with Saltburn


i'd say keep Ralph Fiennes as M, he did do a good job at that role so why not, i mean Judi Dench also had this role with two different bond actors (Brosnan, Craig)


and as the baddie, i kinda would love for Willem Dafoe to make his live action 007 debut, maybe also with a live action version of his video game character he voiced, we kinda need a bad guy as powerful as the likes of Robert Carlyle, Javier Bardem pulled off stellar performances, especially coming of the back of that iconic bad guy masterpiece that was Rami Malek's character


maybe also another female villain, i mean we have had fewer of those, Skyler Samuels :think: i mean she did a decent job as a supporting villain in The Meg 2

Pascal is not British, too old and way too stupid to play Bond

don't be ridiculous

and i think Amazon also needs to look at the actors who portrayed villains on Strike Back, oh and also one of the last main cast, Jamie Bamber i could see as a nice addition for another Mi-6 character


there are quite some among those who have Bond bad guy potential

Javier Bardem as another baddie, i mean he could play Silva's twin brother


and with his natural dark hair this could work obviously, considering he had dyed his hair blonde for the role of Silva in Skyfall ;)



i even know a storyline
:think:


i'd be an epic screenwriter/producer myself honestly

Henry Cavill would make a great Bond. Obviously Tom Hardy would make a better Bond but they probably couldn't afford him.
