Aside form hearing Cavill's name in the run up to CR and knowing he was heavy favored before Babs midlife crisis, primarily what makes me think his is still in consideration if not the contender is he has never talked out of school about it. Worthington was quick to tell people how he lost out, according to him he was hired and going through SAS training when Craig replaced him. Pascal had favored Owen at one point and in the weeks before Craig was announced tired to get Brozza back. Jackman was approached at one time. We know most of this because the actors came forward after it was clear they lost out. To my recollection Cavill has yet to talk about his experience with Bond which means to me there may still be hope
Besides there is a history for a favored actor losing out then getting the gig next time around.
Anyway the Deakins interview show how far Mendes is going and how little there is actually happening in the way of script and money. Mendes has to make it happen or it never will, EON is a lumbering dinosaur of old Hollywood. They badly need to update and retool their operation.
Aw, you're so sweet!
EON really do need to update and retool their operation, it's getting so stale. And, I'm pretty sure there are things going on there that will force Babs to face a different future... Actually, Cavill did talk about Bond once in one interview, and that was the only time I heard him mention the Bond role, but it was because he was asked about ALL the roles that came very close for him. His sentence was "Superman yes, came very close, and Bond came very close as well". It's in this interview with a MORONIC lady who is not even TRYING to look professional. Woman, I am the first one to think he is swoon-worthy but for heaven's sakes, if I am working and interviewing I behave like a professional!!

That's the ONLY time he has spoken about Bond. And it was during s3 of the Tudors, so 2009, which means a LONG time after it all happened. I think his grace and politeness are very much appreciated by people in the business. I don't know how he kept being so courteous and polite with that woman. Good Lord. Would have been good to see Craig or Russel Crowe deal with her
I am patiently waiting for the next round of 'Lady Gaga in talks to preform the Bond 23 theme song'.
Speaking of tabloids I saw one of the girls we had talked about in this thread who would be good next to Henry in Superman had her name mentioned in the casting rumours. I wonder if we are not becoming a 'source' for some of these things.
stay assured they spy us
And since we have far better ideas than most producers, I think they're starting to notice that maybe it's time to use us as source, so that maybe those people get a clue!
UGH if Lady Gaga does a Bond theme song, LET IT BE for a Craig movie. Full Monty type of service in that case, I won't like anything about the movie, theme song included :lol:I honestly don't even want poor Craig to be dealing with something so bad as a Lady Gaga theme song. Puh-leeze.
Happy Belated Birthday Ale, for yesterday.
I should have remembered - you share the same day as my mother.....
Aw thank you Sweeney! Weren't you busy moving from continent to continent though? I think you have good excuses to forget things these days!
And, very happy belated birthday to your mom too!
Shaken not stirred... NOT TO WORRY, I don't exactly think true love spells Valentine's Day. And as I said, never cared about it since I have more important things to celebrate. But, you should make it a point to organize an evening with your friends when Valentine's day comes if you feel like others are throwing it in your face! It's a good excuse to celebrate, just with friends though, not as a couple! Which, will definitely be fun, no?
I'm sure Craig was busy with Weisz, and good for them... so long as she doesn't become a Bond girl because now that they are involved, I really don't think it's a good idea...
