We need news.

[univex]

Desperately, yes. Then again, we´re just not used to waiting anymore.

I imagine all these studio and actors meetings taking place in a spectre like board room.

The reports are hinting that Craig is done period and doesn't wish to do anymore.

[Odd Jobbies]

Don't if any of you are familiar the scurrilous online gossip mongers Popbitch. Best read for laughs, rather than insight, but it sometimes transpires that there's some fire to their smoke. The latest edition suggests that it's not Hiddlethumb, but Aiden Turner that's in final negotiations. Means no more than the rest of the hogwash at this stage, but it is a Monday!

[thecasinoroyale]

What does my head in with rumour pieces of tabloids, is they always have a picture of the actor in a dinner jacket with slick hair and sometimes smoking, like they are trying to be a 60s Bond, or some pastiche of what the character was all about.

 

Just because people smoulder in these set-up photos, doesn't mean they should be "the next Bond".

Emilia Clarke is another who dreams of being Jane Bond.

Emilia Clarke is Khaleesi. Not Jane Bond. But she can be a Bond girl if she likes   I would imagine her to be feisty like Natalya. 

 

Aiden Turner looks a bit like a Who from the grinch... anyone else see this??

[DamnCoffee]

Not at all against a female Bond. 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful and incredible actress who totally plays against female stereotype. Could totally see her as Bond, maybe it's just me though. 

 

 

Can totally handle herself, too.

She's wonderful. How about a henchman though, I know she is kinda one in Star Wars but more of an adult villein, sleeping with the enemy and then fighting 007?

 

I just would not like a woman 007 because it would add fuel to the fire of the code name theory.

love this, just rewatch the Bean series a few months ago.

lol that would be the ultimate MGW cameo ever!

At the risk of being categorized as somebody unpleasant, which I am not, I happily say that Bond should be left as a white, blatantly heterosexual male of British citizenry (though the actor can be from abroad or gay, so long as he can play the part properly). I simply want Bond left largely as he's always been, and I've never understood the desire to make him a different gender or nationality or skin colour. There are plenty of strong and interesting characters of other genders, nationalities, and skin colours, not to mention endless chances to create new ones. Why does anybody feel Bond should be used to empower anything other than what he already is? I'd no sooner want a man to suddenly turn Ellen Ripley into Alan Ripley or a white man to be the next Shaft or Blade. Nor, for that matter, would I enjoy seeing Chewbacca suddenly become a three foot tall, hairless alien with a perfect English dialect. Some characters are better off left as what they are, and what they've always been. And if proponents of differing groups want a strong, Bond-like character, I suggest they create their own - there's plenty of room for it.

 

And I hope Craig returns for at least one more.

I agree with this point. He is what he is - and if people want to change him then they should write fan fiction. We love a character because they are precisely that, a character. I wouldn't want to see Lara Croft turn into Larry Croft either...

[S K Y F A L L]

I feel as if it would be like having the first male Wonder Woman.

 

 

But if Bond went undercover as a woman...

[Dustin]

Well, if Lorenzo Semple jr. is to be believed (http://www.the007dos...nterview-Part-2) Bond very nearly would have been a woman from the go, at least on screen...


But I agree, rather than a female Bond I would like to see a proper adaptation of Modesty Blaise, also because it's a distinctly different character.

[Syndicate]

So what are the official news, what just a guess(that might be right or wrong but not trash) and what just trash that not true at all at this point on Daniel Craig. I still hope he will still do the same amount as Sean Connery and Roger Moore. just that it will take longer for the next Bond movie to come out each time, and he might have time to do other kinds of movies and also relax.

 

I still don't want a female James Bond, it be like having a male Black Widow, female Jack Ryan and female George Smiley. IF it was to happen.

[sharpshooter]

I've given up on that happening, to be honest. I'm guessing they wanted a fifth Craig film and hoped a money offer would do the trick. But alas.

 

SPECTRE has all the necessary ingredients to make it Craig's swansong. It brings all the previous three films into one cumulative showdown. And you could view the last two scenes as Craig's coda. The whole "and besides, I've got something better to do" comment, which Mendes thinks is Craig's farewell remark to the series. And the final scene with Q is basically an epilogue. "What are you doing here? I thought you'd gone?". He has. He's just picking up his old car before driving off into the sunset. Which isn't a bad ending. It's more or less how I would've preferred Moore to end with Octopussy.

Just so. I'm fairly convinced Craig is done with the series. He is already in a number of projects for the future and he doesn't seem to hesitate when accepting new roles; nothing to indicate he would think '...but I've got to be free for Bond when they get going.'

You could argue it's the only proper goodbye for any of the Bond actors.

[SecretAgentFan]

Well, Connery was on a cruise ship with Jill St. John, Lazenby ended up a traumatized widower, Moore got Tanya Roberts in a shower, Dalton jumped into a pool for Cary Lowell and Brosnan got diamonds & Halle Berry...  

 

Yep, I´d say Craig had the nicest ending.

[sharpshooter]

By a long shot.

Agreed.

 

I just meant Craig was the only one who looked like he might have finished as 007 at the end.

[SecretAgentFan]

Absolutely.  And I do believe that was a clear intention known and supported by everyone involved.  Giving Craig the associate producer-title was another hint, a goodbye-present.
