The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

Pattinson is all wrong for Bond. He looks like a wanna-be-weird Goth guy working in a tattoo shop, then visits dingy clubs at night, watching hack cover bands of The Cure.

Correct, our forum's Q! He is 40 as well so Aidan Turner is only 3 years older so the notion that he is aged out by the director when a 40 year old is now in serious consideration is ludicrous. Let them make the offer to Aidan and let him turn it down, but seeing where this is going forget it.

--he is having FUN with choosing 5 clowns?

Apart from Aidan Turner and presumably Henry Cavill, who would be on your shortlist then if you were in charge? Or is it a case of cast Aidan Turner or end the franchise?

Aidan Turner did an interview several years ago in which he said he wasn't much of a Bond fan and wouldn't enjoy a part like that because he likes his privacy and doesn't want to become too famous. I'm not sure he ever wanted the role.

Theo would be better than any of the 5 clowns and he is only 1 year older than Edward Cullen!

Bottom line there a SEVERAL better choices for actors in their late 30s-early 40s to choose from other than romper room rejects.

How do you know they haven't already?

One advantage of casting Pattinson is that it would make yet another rookie Bond origin story less likely. I'm waiting to hear how they handle the reboot as much as I am the new casting. Villeneuve is said to favour a return to standalone stories, and I'm hoping this is the case. Ideally, I'd like a soft reboot that allows us to believe, if we so wish, that this is a return to the floating timeline that existed before Casino Royale, and that the Craig films exist in their own parallel timeline.
