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

A crazy thought but since Craig hung up his PPK we're now had three new Doctor Whos :lol:

Tennant
Gatwa
Piper?

I wouldn't put us having a fourth before we get a new Bond.
Of course, when Craig was cast in October 2005, Tennant still had to make his first full appearance in The Christmas Invasion, while NTTD came out 2 months before Jodie announced she was leaving, and over a year before her final full appearance.
 
Yeah and you're going to have a bigger turnover of actors in Who as opposed to Bond. Just feels more obvious at the moment!
The coincidences that have always struck me are firstly that Dalton and McCoy were in a stage play about 1985 and apparently spent some time lamenting the insecurity of the acting profession. Within a year, each was the lead in a long-running franchise - but each of their roles were put on hiatus by 1989.

You then have the two gritty incarnations, Craig & Eccleston, appearing in 1996 (the year after Goldeneye and the same year as the DW tv movie) in Our Friends In The North; I think if anyone had said at the time that we were looking at the next James Bond and Doctor Who, they would’ve been laughed out of town.
 
In much the same way there are some people in Britain known to display pictures of the current monarch in their home, with some also including the picture of the current Prime Minister, or people in the US displaying a picture of the current President, I wonder if there are those who display pictures in their home of the current Bond and the current Doctor? If so, the picture of Craig must be hella faded right now while this weekend they just swapped out a new picture for the current Doctor.

Or is the frame for the Bond photo currently empty to reflect that with Craig's era over and a successor not cast, the Bond franchise is currently in a state of interregnum?

I'm just hoping that someone who has had a string of pictures, from Boris Johnson to Kier Starmer, is getting the help they clearly need medically.
 
Is it just me or in the first reveal of his face does Bond look a bit like a cross between Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Daniel Craig?

Probably just my imagination, but I do wonder if they consciously put little bits of previous Bonds into the likeness mix. I guess we'll know more once they announce who actually played him in the game. For all I know, this is what the dude actually looks like. :D

Bond is probably played by Patrick Gibson, who played Dexter in 'Dexter Origin Sin'. black actor is Lennie James, who played Morgan in The Walking Dead TV series for years.
