That's what I just said.FormerBondFan wrote:Not just that. It's about increasing his reputation as an actor and that he is not defined by just James Bond, especially when it comes to action roles.John P. Drake wrote:To promote his own name to its former glory he had in the 'Bond' days.
I think there will be some people who will be drawn in by the promise of seeing Pierce's return to the spy genre (in fact I know there will, because most of us here are in that category), but I think the era of actors being able to "open" a movie through name recognition alone are over. Will Smith and Johnny Depp were perhaps the last genuine movie stars in that respect, but both of those have had high-profile flops in the last year or two.Blowfeld wrote:I hope Pierce has a well made film that garners attention to his skill as an actor as well as offering a new series for spy movie fans.
I'm not sure what kind of box office his name alone is capable of drawing. Far better for him to make a great movie that speaks for itself maybe wins awards than try to compete with 007 movies that automatically make $600 to $800 million no question.
This would depend on how well his upcoming movies do critically.Blowfeld wrote:I'm not sure what kind of box office his name alone is capable of drawing.
I don't think he would make movies to win awards or at least get nominations.....something the b1tch does nowadays. But I do hope they don't fall under radar, and he's been underrated for TOO LONG already ever since after GE.Far better for him to make a great movie that speaks for itself maybe wins awards than try to compete with 007 movies that automatically make $600 to $800 million no question.
Pierce doesn't make film for money like the b1tch does. All the b1tch cares about is power.Blowfeld wrote:I think it's far easier for Pierce to make a critically well received masterpiece so to speak than try to match the 00$ franchise pound per pound.
The minions have bashed Pierce ever since after dismissed by EON, and one of them went as far as considering him as worst actor in the world, even worse than Fat Seagal.People view of him has deepened with his roles since his last 007 outing in 2002.
I have never been a fan of Brosnan as a Bond or actor in general, but I was genuinely surprised by him in Bag Of Bones.FormerBondFan wrote:His return to TV with Stephen King's Bags of Bones was no different.
So you watched Bag of Bones?Daltonite Toothpaste wrote:I have never been a fan of Brosnan as a Bond or actor in general, but I was genuinely surprised by him in Bag Of Bones.FormerBondFan wrote:His return to TV with Stephen King's Bags of Bones was no different.
It would have been a bit tough to be surprised by Brosnan if I hadn't watched it.FormerBondFan wrote:So you watched Bag of Bones?Daltonite Toothpaste wrote:I have never been a fan of Brosnan as a Bond or actor in general, but I was genuinely surprised by him in Bag Of Bones.FormerBondFan wrote:His return to TV with Stephen King's Bags of Bones was no different.

FBF, your thoughts? Drake? Kris? Big O? Where's the Sweeney? Under radar, this movie is.John P. Drake wrote:I personally thought Brosnan's best performance was in Butterfly On A Wheel.

Nicholas Hoult should stay from the Bond franchise since he has darker hair and the height of 6'2''. Babs screwed Pierce over so she should consider anyone but Hoult along with other tall and dark-haired actors.
........high temperature here will be 33 degrees,only once, on Saturday, over the next 7 days to boot ........wind chills below zero ...........more snow forecasted for Thursday, Saturday and next Monday with the Superbowl only 12 days away and ony 25 minutes from where I live........brrrrrrrrrrrr. I hate winter.......MP, are you basking in the San Diego balmy weather? FBF, is your California weather nice by you? Is the UK nice? "Nicholas has been building up quite the reputation in recent years and he is proving that he has what it takes to mix it with the best in Hollywood. By the time Daniel Craig does decide to move on from James Bond, Nicholas Hoult will have come into his own and will be approaching the perfect age to play the character. Add the fact that he is English into the mix and Nicholas Hoult could easily be a future James Bond." FBF, does this threaten your predictions for Gold Dust et al as Bond with this guy mentioned? http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BM ... SY720_.jpg I wonder if Ale now feels threatened with Cavill competing against this guy for a potential Bond portrayal after the 'egg rots out of the role in 4 years. http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BM ...

Yes, this does threaten my predictions on future Bonds are not tall and dark-haired. Based on the way Pierce was treated and the fact that SF got recognition and success in a nonsensical way, Nick should just stay away from Bond. Period. We rebels should not support James Bond anymore. He's dead as a zombie on steroids, and Drakes knows it. Support Pierce's upcoming actioners instead or even Tim as the new Alfred (if you're up for Ben's Bat).bjmdds wrote:"Nicholas has been building up quite the reputation in recent years and he is proving that he has what it takes to mix it with the best in Hollywood.
