I love Roger Moore as Bond, and while he hasn't truly been replaced for me personally, I can't deny that the series has continued on successfully without him. We all have our favourite Bond actor that we wish could stay in the part forever, but the fact is they can and eventually will be replaced.dirtybenny wrote: Her remark that Craig is the "ultimate Bond" and "the series wouldn't be the same without him" speak volumes to back up my claim that Craig and EON believe he's bigger than the role, which is laughable because if Bond can survive Connery's departure he sure as can go on after the door hits Craig on the way out.
You are right,Saint. An actor who plays Bond is never more important than the character itself but it seems that Barbata thinks that Craig is the most important factor here,not Bond.
This franchise didn't start with Craig but it could be said that the franchise we all know and love ended with him. Of course,I am hoping someday I will see a movie with James Bond in its title that actually feels like one but I am starting to loose hope.
I don't know what will happen when Craig leaves and because of this fiasco that moment should happen sooner than Barbata wants but what will be her move then?
