No they played with the idea and people werent on board with it. As we all know, Hollywood likes to virtue signal but if it comes to money, they usually dont fuck around. As for Craig, if he really isnt happy playing Bond he should really step down. I mean how many millions does one person need?

That's great news. I hope Craig does at least 2 or 3 more. He's the best Bond.

Only a hater of Bond would type that filth.

2 or 3 more? Daniel Craig is already too old, they may as well pick the person in your avatar.

Meh. I see ancient geriatrics cast as detectives and feds in movies all the time. Isn't Liam Neeson still doing action films? He's 67 IRL.

Amanada Seales and Monique were both candidates for the role. The former walked off the set when she learned A)that sex scenes just don't work without the actors actually touching one another and that B)a fifteen minute lecture on the pernicious social malice that is catcalling doesn't fit into a megabudget action flick.

The latter had less of qualms regarding the script, but was never able to understand: The tailors on Saville Row can't fit you with a suit unless you lay off the neck-rolling for at least an hour

It's true. They're notoriously difficult to work with, if they even show up to work.

That's totally fine for a d ick or fed who doesn't have to actually do chase scenes or stunts.

Is he? He seriously can't be doing too much action- stunt double.

There is a scene in his last Taken film where he is supposed to jump over a fence. The shot is probably around 10 seconds long...it has like 6 different edits in it! So yeah, hes pretty old and cant do much.

Craig is only 52 and in shape. They have Pierce Brosnan and Neeson doing crazy as/s/ stuff into their 60's.

He's looking pretty good for his age. Here are some recent photos (scroll down).

Yes his body does look pretty good for a 52 year old, and there is some filtering/photo shopping involved as usual , the fact remains he is still NOT a young man anymore. IMO too old for Bond. Get someone young and fresh faced.

...and they all too old to make believable action movies- even with the stunt double it's still unbelievable.

Roger Moore was 57 during the filming of A View To A Kill in 1984 and its release in summer 1985. Accepting that a lot of the action would be done by stuntmen and not Moore, he could he could have done one more Bond film age 60? I reckon so, but it was time for a new younger actor and along came Timothy Dalton.
