The Next James Bond

[ZariusTwo]

Looks like there may be an announcement coming in a couple of weeks for the next Bond following Daniel Craig's quiet departure from the role. Favourites for replacements have included the likes of Tom Hiddleston and, yes, even Gillian Anderson, but the favourite now is Aidan Turner.

I swear if it's a woman

They all seem like decent enough choices. I'm curious to see who is picked.

I'm still rooting for Gillian Anderson - Jane Bond.

Why? Why attach it to the James Bond name? Fine, go ahead and make a female spy in the JB universe. Give her her own villains, movies and characters, but not attatched to the 007 name. Have the two movie series run alongside each other. Whatever. Just don't take away a male Bond from me.

I'm glad I'm not a James Bond fan. It means I don't have to worry about them honestly making Bond a woman.

I don't think we should count out Craig yet. And I think it will be a lot longer than a couple of weeks before we know anything for sure. A lot of the "confirmed" rumors floating around now are just fan-made, or fans of certain actors' wish fulfillment.

Isn't Craig still under contract for one more movie?

I don't think he ever signed a multi-picture deal. If anything, he's probably just jockeying for more money with his agent to do the next one.

Kind of like how Michael Bay says every Transformers movie is his last Transformers movie. Just a ploy for more money.

isn't there some way to just make a clone of Sean Connery?

Hey, I'd be all for them doing some RDJ/Michael Douglas-like trickery and make a photo-real face-swapped Connery as Bond. The real Connery could even do the voice.

For that matter, I'd love to see that with Eastwood in a Dirty Harry 6.

[CyberCubed]

Female Jane Bond is next. Then a black British bond. Then an Asian/French Bond. Then a Hindu Bond. Then a transgenered Bond.

I think the time of James Bond being a British white guy is over.

I don't care who takes up the role of James Bond. I just want the portrayal of the character to be done right.

Which necessitates him being a dude.

[Andrew NDB]

Neither Gillian Anderson or any women or even any of the dude names popping up on Facebook are "in talks" to play James Bond. Stop believing everything you read on the internet.

Bullsh*t, because Bond is a guy.

By the original novels or the movies? Cause Bond's depiction differ vastly between them, and Craig have been the closest to resemble the original Bond.

That was the plan for Halle Berry's character at one point after Die Another Day came out, but the reception of that movie torpedoed any ideas.

Craigh has signed on for multiple TV show deals. He's done.

Rigg as Tracy......

[ObiWanFan4life]

I'd love to see Gillian Anderson cast as M.

[plastroncafe]

I'd love to see a director be ballsy enough to do a faithful film adaptation. So with all this modern takes, and bring Bond back to his roots.

I just want a new Austin Powers movie that makes fun of ultra realistic spy movies like Craig-Bond and Bourne


Mission Impossible is doing a good job of producing fun spy stories though
