Classic Bond Forum

METRO: Aidan Turner "had talks" with Bond producers about taking over as 007.

Right now Turner seems to be in the Clive Owen postion before Casino Royale. It's been heavily rumuored that producers meet with him and they couldn't reach a deal before they went with auditions for the role that ulitimately lead to Daniel Craig getting it. Right now Turner appears in that Craig spot. Based on what we're hearing it's Turner's role to lose right now and that's a good thing.

You think he'll be the only actor or there may be a few more?

Yeah looking that way. So, if it's 4-5 more we're looking at 5-6 total. Turner.....care to take a stab at other 4-5?

Craig's new replacement: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/52 ... ject_tweet

Timothy or Pierce was the FIRST choice in 1986?

Who do you see as the biggest threat to outperform Turner in a potential screentest?

Friend and Turner two great chouces......still watching out for Tom Cullen might sneak in this.

Instead of hoping for the traditional classic tall and dark-haired Bond to return, we should feed those minions that anybody or anything can be Bond now based on the nonsensical popularity of DC's corrupted Bond. I've said this before, and I can repeat this a billion times. It's time for those creatures to feel how we feel when DC was cast. If they can accept an even less Bondian looking actor (even more than DC), good for them. If not, that's when they'll feel our thoughts on DC's Bond. This is what we want. If you guys are not with me on this, just go ahead and add Spectre into your collection. You might as well be a Pro-Craig minion.

Spectre is in my collection as is every Bond movie. of the officiall series

Then you should consider that Bond can be anyone or anything, not to say that the character can be played by an actress.
