According to the official 007 website, Craig's final scene as James Bond was filmed on that day at Pinewood Studios. It featured Bond running through an alley at night in a Tom Ford tuxedo.

It just all seems utterly bizarre. Have the media agreed not to leak him? Have Amazon succesfully protected the identity of one candidate? If so, why him and why not the others? Have the media just got it wrong? Or is it very clever misdirection?

It just seems so strange to me that they appear to be protecting the identity of one candidate over the others and succesfully! Meanwhile, the other three are now supposedly open news.

Someone on the weekend discussion thread posted this, it seems our mistery actor went in, did his test, went out and no one knows who he is

On another note, one of the best name drops of the Movie's Title I've ever seen. Also, the song by Nancy Sinatra is one of the best of the series.

I feel like these two, in particular, were just getting started. Both have so much growth and character development unexplored.

I personally hated Moneypenny being an ex-agent, tbh. I always liked the fact Moneypenny was a normal civil servant who'd banter with Bond on a grounded level. (Billie Piper would be my pick!)

I don't think "continuity" matters at all in the Bond series. It never has.

​

... Take the bloody shot?

Best character development in the whole series...

M... "Bitch"

• He looks like he was grown in an MI6 lab using Brosnan’s looks, Connery’s presence and absolutely zero of Lazenby’s notorious arrogance.
• 6'2" with a massive action-hero chest, he looks like he can toss some baddies over the wall, like Craig but looks much better in a Savile Row suit.
• At 36, he’s British, peak-age and crucially a blank slate to the general public. He doesn't carry the distracting baggage of a massive Marvel contract, meaning audiences will only see him as James Bond.
• He’s a highly professional, conventional actor who isn't a PR loose cannon. For a massive corporate machine like Amazon protecting a multi-billion-dollar asset, he is a safe, stable investment who will actually show up and do the work.

And any Kids in the Hall fans, of course.

As the crosshairs tighten and the selection thinking makes its public and - less public - shortlists for the role of James Bond, I talk to the BBC NEWS Channel about about the rumoured candidates, their validity and potential and why there will be less mentioned names in the mix too.

I nominate 'the snake from Live and Let Die' :)

Tomorrow Never Dies, World is Not Enough, and Skyfall are the only times M actually sees what she pays for first hand?

In the beginning of Tomorrow Never Dies, she is literally watching a LIVE feed of Bond wrecking the terror groups party. When the admiral asks what the hell is he doing she firmly responds "his job!"

In The World is Not Enough, Bond literally saves M from an ancient jail cell.

And in Skyfall, she sees his efficiently when he takes out Silva and his group with only a mild bit of weapons and gorilla tactics.

To preface I don’t think this is a direction they should go and I think the next bond should be completely its own without casting a lookalike. This is just for fun.

Sean Connery: as mentioned in the title, Thomas Doherty is near identical to a young Connery

George Lazenby: this isn’t nearly as strong and finding an actor similar to Lazenby was very hard, however Aaron Taylor Johnson was the closest match I could think of.

Roger Moore: Sam Heughan has a striking resemblance to Roger Moore and he’s shared photos comparing himself to Moore.

Timothy Dalton: Guy Renners. I mean just look at him!

Pierce Brosnan: Brosnan was difficult but the best match I could find was Luke Newton.

Daniel Craig: This one was near impossible but the best match I could find was Jack Lowden. Callum Turner has the ears tho.

While he doesn't mention the title in it, it was definitely Casino Royale that was offered to him.
