It’s not an honorary name though. It wasn’t bestowed upon him. Although I can certainly envisage a future Hollywood storyline where the name becomes honorary after Bond’s death, but that feels very contrived.

The 007 part is certainly flexible though.

Kept seeing new posts here and for a second I wondered if someone we were linked with is actually named Bond, James Bond.

You’re learning. Keep this mindset and you’ll go far. Laaaaaaa

How’s that Mar9 business going these days?

No idea what you’re talking about.

After weeks of watching Trossard, Merino and Sterling not willing to make a forward run, it was great to see Gabriel Martinelli back, no?

Was it fuck. He added literally nothing when he came on

I think I’m in the wrong thread :thinking:

So Denis villeneuve( dune, sicaro, blade runner 2047.) is the new bond director.

So got board and i asked chatgpt to cast a actor who fits the book description of james bond and then cast actors in their roles with Villeneuve in charge of the film.

Bond - James Norton
Bond girl - jodie Comer
Bad guy - Andrew scott
M - Charles Dance
Q - Matthew macfadyen.
Money penny- Claire Foy

Not a very impressive bond. The rest of the suggestions are quite good.

Henry Cavill seems like the perfect fit.

So this is the reason why it went for Norton


And here are the other options



And here is who shouldnt play bond

So it’s definitely going to be a reboot?

If it was down to me, I would set the series/new films in the past. I’d like a defined set of series/films that had a clear story arc from start to finish. I would also like to see all the 00s in the mix and being cast/used, which would give you the opportunity to cast multiple actors who have been linked with the lead, but in supporting roles.

I’m not sure about James Norton as Bond though. I think if they want to go with a young actor, I’d be tempted to throw Harris Dickinson’s name into the mix. Tom Hiddleston could also be good in the role. As a curve ball, I’d also throw in Sope Dirisu given how good he has been in Gangs of London.

I doubt they would make a film, but I’d love to see a series based around the young James Bond book series.

If you want a total reboot, then you start the new series when Bond is about to join the Royal Navy at the start of WWII, where he would eventually be recruited into the Secret Service.

Casually finding this out must be what pirates felt finding a treasure on a desert island.
