Tom hardy and Nolan doing bond. Would definitely watch that.

As crazy as it may be...

Tom Hardy may one day be bond. He is british, has the charm and is in the age bracket.

One thing that really intrigues me is the casting of Ben Whishaw as Q. He's an excellent actor and it's an interesting tweak to make Q a young character. I know it won't have much influence on the overall story but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

I'm a fan of Mendes and the film looks to have an excellent cast so I'm actually really looking forward to this installment of the series.

I'm thinking Hardy is a long way off.

It's been said before but Clive Owen will probably be next to step into the shoes.

No, I think Owen's chance at Bond is gone. He's older than Craig and his star status is rapidly dwindling. By the time Craig retires from the role no one will remember who Owen is.

Really? Last thing I seen him in was Trust and that was good.

**Sad Professor** · 27-02-2012, 16:12

Trust ended up going straight-to-DVD. Intruders was unceremoniously pulled from Irish cinemas after a few days and it's only getting a limited release in the US before it goes straight-to-DVD as well. The same faith probably would have befallen Killer Elite if not for De Niro's presence. I'm pretty sure one or two of his previous films were straight-to-DVD jobs as well.

The guy might be a good actor, but he clearly has no pulling power with audiences which is pretty essential in order to be considered a movie star. He's close to being box office poison at this point.

Does anyone know what the next Bond Song is going to be ?

Filming has only been going a few weeks, the song (or indeed the artist) usually doesn't get announced until much later in development.

Please god no!

Nolan already did a Bond film. It was called Inception. Plus, there's plenty of Bond influences in his Batman films.

Bond movies aren't full of flashbacks and manboys asking questions every 2 seconds

No idea. But, I'm just hoping it'll be voiced by Annie Lennox.

Yes, but there is no guarantee that Craig will be signed up for more Bonds, this is his last film on his current contract.

A furthur 5 films with Craig are under review but i'm not aware he signed any contract as yet.

I don't mind if he gets it, I think he has been excellent in the role. When you factor in 2 years to make each film he will be early 50's by the time his final film comes round which isn't too bad. Though i'm guessing audiences might be a bit tired of him at that stage.

Really looking forward to this. I know a lot of people think the new movies are just Bourne clones and they do owe a lot to that franchise but I think the Bond series needed to go in this grittier direction. The last films with Brosnan (who I actually though was a great Bond!) were awful!

I wonder will they ever get around to finishing off the Casino Royal/QOS storyline? I know plenty of people here hated QOS and I was'nt too impressed at first until I sat down and watched them back to back. Id really like to see it tied up in the future, though it seems unlikely

Ive high hopes for Skyfall. It has great people involved on the project and im thinking this may well shape up to be my favourite Bond yet, Goldeneye is my favourite currently!
