In this episode Griffin (@griffschiller) and Brody (@brodyserravalli) discuss the following:
Tomorrow Never Lies
* Henry Cavill as the next James Bond
* https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a22560302/henry-cavill-next-james-bond/
* Mission: Impossible Fallout is now in theaters, opening to much critical and commercial acclaim, and one man in particular is being especially praised for his work in the film…yes Tom Cruise, but we’re referring to Henry Cavill in what could arguably be his best performance to date.
* As many of you probably know, Cavill was almost cast as Bond in Martin Campbell’s 2006 Casino Royale before losing out to Daniel Craig.
* While making the rounds around the press circuit for M:I6 (HA PUNS) a question regarding Cavill’s future aspirations to play James Bond came up during an interview with Yahoo! Movies, to which Cavill said the following:
* I would love to do it of course. I think Bond would be a really fun role. It’s British, it’s cool. I think that now that I have my Mission: Impossible badge we can do real stunts and really amp it up as well.
* Not to say they weren’t doing real stunts I’m just saying it would be fun for me to actually take what I’ve learnt on this and carry it through to a movie like Bond. I’d love to play a Brit. I don’t get to play a Brit very often. So yes, I would love the opportunity and if they were to ask I would say “yes.”
* With Bond 25 set to release next Novemeber, EON and Co. no doubt are having initial discussions about who they’d like to have as Craig’s replacement.
* DISCUSSION TOPIC: Does Mission: Impossible Fallout further prove that Cavill should be the next James Bond and what are his chances of landing the coveted role?
* Bond 25 Casting Call DAS RUSSIA
* https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/bond-25-casting-call?t&s&id=04406
* With pre-production on Bond 25 ramping up, the casting net has been thrown open for leading roles in the upcoming film. Several details on the casting notice confirm what we already know: the film will be directed by Danny Boyle and shooting begins in December 2018 and will run for 5-6 months.
* When a similar casting call was made for SPECTRE, it accurately revealed the character for 'Hinx' which would ultimately be played by Dave Bautista.
* Although this time there are no character names in the role descriptions, it appears that Bond 25 will feature a Russian male villain, a Russian female (likely be the villain's partner and a 'Bond Girl' part), and a Māori henchman. This also indicates that the new script by John Hodge is in good shape.
* The roles are as follows:
* Male Leading Role
* Playing age: 30’s - 60’s
* Russian. (Also open to suggestions of actors from the Balkans or similar) Must speak fluent English.
* Characteristics: Charismatic, Powerful, Innovative, Cosmopolitan, Bright, Cold and Vindictive.
* Female Leading Role
* Playing age: 30 - 45
* Russian. (Also open to suggestions of actresses from the Balkans or similar) Must speak fluent English.
* Very Striking. Strong Physical / fighting / stage combat skills required.
* Characteristics: Intelligent, brave, fierce and charming. She's witty and skillful. A survivor.
* Male Supporting Role
* Playing age: 35 - 55
* Maori.
* Advanced physical / fighting / stage combat skills required.
* Characteristics: Authoritative, cunning, ruthless & loyal.
* SPECULATE!
* New Production Designer for Bond 25
* https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/bond-25-production-designer-mark-tildesley
* The 25th James Bond film will have a new Production Designer in charge of the art department. Mark Tildesley, a frequent collaborator with Danny Boyle, will be charged with designing the film's look. The pair have worked together on six features before, including '28 Days Later' (also with Naomie Harris), 'Sunshine' and 'T2 Trainspotting.'
* Dennis Gassner was expecting to work on Bond 25 and had started preliminary work on a script by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. Gassner took over from retiring production designer Peter Lamont after 'Casino Royale' and took charge of the art department on the last three Daniel Craig outings.
* Jeffrey Wright returning as Felix Leiter in 25
* https://www.esquire.com/uk/latest-news/a21943421/cia-agent-felix-leiter-might-return-for-bond-25/
* As is always the case during the early stages of production, the rumor mill is running rampant and this time the speculation is on Jeffrey Wright’s return as CIA agent Felix Leiter.
* During an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, Wright was asked: "Any word on the next Bond? Have you been approached? You’re a fantastic Felix."
* Wright played a pretty straight bat to it, replying: "It's possible. Thanks."
