Isn't she like 50 already? Hard to do many stunts unless you want to look like Diamonds are Forever with how staged it was.

effectual posted:Gillian Anderson rumored to be a possible Bond replacement I wouldn't say she's rumored, so much as she posted a fun fan made poster on her own Twitter, and it started people writing pieces about the possibility. The main rumors seem to be coalescing behind Tom Hiddleston.

I really don't think an American born actor/actress will ever be seriously considered. Even more than casting a woman or a black man, I think people would be up in arms if an American were cast. I know Anderson is like half British at this point and seems to be totally assimilated, still it would probably be a huge controversy.

Yeah but in Hollywood a 50-year-old man is still ripe and fresh for action movies, while a 50-year-old woman is only allowed to do motherhood or businesswoman roles that don't require her to get out of heels. See the ages of the Avengers: Iron Man: 51 Captain America: 34 Thor: 32 Hulk: 48 Hawkeye: 45 War Machine: 51 Vision: 45 Falcon: 37 Nick Fury: 67 Black Panther: 39 Winter Soldier: 33 Ant-Man: 47 Spider-Man: 20 Black Widow: 31 Scarlet Witch: 27 You, uh, may also notice another trend with the Avengers roster. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Jun 1, 2016 |

Cnut the Great posted:She's....also....a woman? With her and Emilia Clarke both saying recently they'd be interesting in playing "Jane Bond", the discussion of what a "female Bond" would be like has spun up again. It could be an interesting take, but one I in no way see happening any time soon. Anyway, it's probably going to be Tom Hiddleston. Which will be interesting, because I imagine they'll make him somewhat less rough and tough of a Bond than Craig. I can see him more dark like Dalton? Or possibly early Moore or early Connery?

And let's not pretend that Roger Moore's age in the later films hasn't been a punchline for decades. It's all just social media talk anyway. Nobody involved in the actual decision-making process is interested in taking any big risks with their billion dollar film series.

After The Night Manager, Hiddleston strikes me as a Bond who would absolutely lose the brutish aspects of Craig and Dalton would be his closest analogue.

MorgaineDax posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_actors_considered_for_the_James_Bond_character I want to know what Terence Stamp's "radical" ideas were. I also didn't realize that Reilly: Ace of Spies was what led to Sam Neill being considered, though it makes sense since it's pretty clearly influenced by the Bond films (and pre-GoldenEye Martin Campbell directed half the series). Also had no idea that Colin Salmon was actually considered for Bond, I always thought he would have been a good Bond. Interesting to consider that potentially Dalton could have taken over the role in 1969, and then got replaced by Brosnan in 1987.

On a train at the moment from London Euston to Manchester. Two kids sitting across the carriage from me, look about 7 or 8 years old. Boy: Did you know they're thinking of making a new James Bond film? Girl: Really? How many James Bond films do they need? Boy: Well, one more apparently. Later on if they get bored I'll interrogate them on Gillian Anderson's credentials and who should replace Sam Mendes and report back.

Honestly I am more concerned with who will take Mendes' place than who will play Bond. Its been such a pleasure to watch these past few that Mendes directed, from a visual standpoint specifically, it would really bum me out to lose that aspect. I hope they choose another director who really has their own visual style and doesn't fade into the background like a lot of mediocre action directors do. Who directed John Wick? They should get that guy. Or maybe Gareth Evans.

Ah so he's one of the guys who became a millionaire because Keanu decided to give the stunt people like half his salary? John Wick is an incredibly impressive movie for a stunt double to have made as his first effort. Aside from the fight choreography, which is unsurprisingly fantastic, its got a ton of style to it.

JW Pepper is only one of several awful choices in that movie. There's the infamous slide whistle, but also stuff like the gratuitous kung fu school sequence and the other desperate pandering to the martial arts craze of the 70s, just like how Live And Let Die was desperate pandering to blaxploitation, Moonraker was copying the popularity of Star Wars (if I remember correctly EON even stopped production on a different Bond film to switch gears to sci-fi while they still had the chance), and Die Another Day had all the "xtreme" and crappy CGI of contemporary action movies.

Fangz posted:I can't imagine a Spielberg Bond. Indiana Jones is basically the result of Spielberg not getting to direct a Bond movie. I'm sure a female Bond would have Ian Fleming rolling over in his grave (a black Bond too, but probably not quite the same amount of rolling) but a female director would be a nice way to pivot the franchise in a new direction although I don't see them abandoning the more traditionalist take the last two Craig films took right away.
