The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

Multiverse Bond. It opens with a flashback to the climax of NTTD. As Craig-Bond looks at the missiles raining down, portals suddenly open. Brosnan-Bond, Dalton-Bond and Lazenby-Bond appear and pull him to safety. They go on an adventure to find a new James Bond for a reality that lacks one.

That's a really long way around only to have someone point to Brosnan and say to Lazenby "This never happened to the other fellow!"

That is a very interesting album, I always really liked the Propellerheads version of the OHMSS theme.

 

[Commander Troi]

Interesting. What's the name of the album?

How many here do not know right from left?

I do because I am always right

It's surprisingly common.

It's surprisingly common.

Yes. Not even Oscar-winning war movies were immune from this dilemma.

Anthony Starr (Homelander in The Boys) auditioned for Bond and the footage has now made its way online. I love him in that role but, while it’s hard to really judge from grainy footage where he’s got a scruffy haircut and off the rack suit, I’m not really feeling it here:

OMG! He looks like a teenager!

Yeah, when I watch that video, I just see Homelander impersonating Bond.

Well in my defense, I'm misty and too much in love.

Did nobody bother to get a haircut for it or was scruffy Bond the mandate?

I did have that thought, but OTOH, you get a very specific look for a part that you MIGHT (but probably won't) get and now you don't look right for any of the other jobs that you're in the running for (or even actually working on).

It's not like he had a mustache.

Your reminder of what Brosnan looked like the day they announced he was the new 007



And talking of Brosnan, watching those audition tapes Brosnan was on another level, admittedly he had a whole lot of takes and looked like Bond, and perhaps Starr and Cavill were told to tone down the humour in the performance, they were looking for Daniel Craig at the time after all, not Pierce!

Maybe it's just me, but of the two I could see it more with Starr. I like Cavill, and wouldn't be opposed to him playing Bond now, but heck he came off a little wooden. He was quite young and inexperienced of course, what was he, 22ish? By my reckoning Starr was around 30.

I would literally kill to see Craig's audition tape! (I mean maybe not kill, maim though)
