I can definitely stick up for Die Another Day if need be.

I think it's awesome!

Go on...

Would that be for Halle Berry in a bikini and a tight leather outfit? :lol:

I got Google for that! And it doesn't take 45 minutes to get to there.

It's kinda scary you know the length of time you know when Halle Berry appears in a bikini, you been secretly.watching that when your wife isn't around :lol:

Well, I mean, it's not like... LOOK! A UHD OF GOLDFINGER! [runs away]

I must be dreaming :pound::pound:

I don't like 'Moonraker'!

Every other Bond film is (reasonably) believable, but that film is science fiction Bond and (for me at least) it doesn't fit in with the others

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is being tipped as the next James Bond as he has reportedly filmed a version of the 007 films’ iconic gunshot opening.

The ‘Kick-Ass’ actor, 32, was said on Sunday (11.12.22) by The Sun to have shot the sequence, with Eon Productions set to reveal the spy franchise’s new star in March 2023 after Daniel Craig, 54, quit the Bond role.

It comes after The Sun said Aaron had finished a “top secret screen test” for the part at Pinewood Studios.

A film source told the publication: “Aaron has impressed bosses so much that he has filmed one of the franchise’s famous gun barrel teaser scenes, something all the Bond actors do. That move takes him a step closer to signing a deal.

“Bosses at the brand were really impressed with his unique blend of acting intensity and his impressive back catalogue of action films.”

Aaron, who has starred in ‘Tenet’ and ‘Bullet Train’ is now at 4/5 odds will bookmaker William Hill to be named the next 007.

I was chatting to a mate yesterday. Why does the new James Bond have to be someone we know or a big name?
What happened to the days when a casting call went out and tons of people went for a role, and someone got the role because they were the perfect fit for the role, looked the part and sometimes an unknown.

To me Taylor-Johnson isn't a 'big' name. In fact i had no idea what he looked like.

Plus it's still only tabloid rumour that he's even got the part. It wouldn't surprise me if all the final candidates filmed the 'gunshot opening' as part of their audition. I mean, he has to look right moving as Bond as well as dialogue wise.

Daniel Craig was far from a big name when he landed the job either, he was known for some indie UK films and TV, nothing huge, not like Dalton and Brosnan before him.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is an interesting choice though, but I will admit that I skim read the beginning of the article and though it said Anya Taylor-Joy and I did a double take, I'm not against a lady 007 at all, but Anya wouldn't be it :D

Me too! :rofl:

I was going to buy the Moore bond collection on blu ray but there is only €2 in the difference to get the whole lot now on Amazon might grab it the weekend the car is going into the garage Thursday so I maybe on the noodles and bread for the next week :lol:

I'm loving catching up with them all in HD. I watched The Living Daylights last night again. Cracking film with excellent gritty action sequences. It'll be License to Kill next week.

Rumour has it... (according to the Sun via Sky News)

Aaron Taylor-Johnson chosen as next James Bond
