Henry VIII, last seen in Wolf Hall has been linked to the 007 role, although I can't think why his selection would cause great upset among the millions, if not Billions of 007 fans other than the fact he isn't Loki.
It wouldn't cause an upset which is why it's not him. Sgt Brody is a definite A lister. It's clear that the new Bond is going to be pretty obscure to many fans across the world.

Prince Bolkonsky has some advantages - young enough to do the stunts and stuff. But he feels a bit obvious, a bit safe. I wish they would take a risk with one of these movies cast someone genuinely unexpected or different.


I would have loved Luther but he's probably only good for one or two movies same I would have said for Henry VIII.

And? It's the Fail why should i believe that. They were probably paid something to write it.
I wasn't saying if it was right or wrong , just that the story has been out in the open for years so it's hardly breaking news and he was named back in 2007

I just hope he's ready for the jump to A list. I think it's hard to imagine for actors until it happens even if they've seen it happen to others. Daniel Craig never seemed happy with massive stardom.

Suspicious betting patterns led the bookies to believe it's the man from the river channel that is in a very good mood. Linky if you're stuck.

I've seen reports that it's between Loki & Jack Huston

You might be right about the man from the Boardwalk Empire. He'll be better known to an international audience. I should have checked the latest odds. Paddy Power have him at 2-1 favourite ahead of the Happy Valley guy and Poldark who are both at 9-4. Loki is 6-1 and I'm sure it's not him as his appointment wouldn't be seen as a shock.

Definite no to the first one for me. Don't know the second one.

There was a bit of a when it was know the producers were in talks with Billy Elliot. They loved him it seems. So I bet that one would cause a real sh*t storm! Billy Elliot is 007!

They might not go with Huston considering the epic failure Ben Hur looks to be.

Lacking perhaps the sophistication that would make him look at home in a Monte Carlo casino.

Most people don't even know that there has been Ben Hur remake. Poor decision to make it.

Only after Poldark was ruled out. It's pretty obvious no one has a clue who its going to be yet.

He's about 5 foot 6. He'll never be Bond

I wonder if it's Vlad from Dracula Untold. He would fit the part.

I think he is too young personally

So does Billy Elliot. How old are they wanting this Bond to be? 30 seems far too young. I can see why fans would be up in arms if this is the route they are taking it down.

He's 33 Loki is 35 Craig was about 37 when he took over the role so they're probably about the right age

But he has a young face whereas Craig ( no disrespect to him at all he is a good looking chap) has a more lived in look, and to me Bond needs to look a bit experienced and weather worn.

Rereading 'the role' blind and our discussions, to seriously annoy fans it would have to be an actor they know well (rather than a more obscure one) but do not consider to be at all right for the role. You know, someone like Ron Weasley or the Billy Elliot!!

How about the previous Doctor?!!

I know for a fact that in every film Tom Cruise was in, the cameras were positioned at least a foot below him, in specially excavated ditches if necessary, pointing upwards. Used to cause havoc with interior scenes, especially love scenes, because of all the shite lying around from excavation etc, but because Cruise was such a big start, the Church of Scientology used to insist it was added to his contract. In Top Gear, for example, they used to have the camera hanging beneatch the plane his was in just to make him look talller. Bizarre? Yes, but that's Tinseltown for you.
