The Golden Globes invites some of the biggest stars, so it makes sense that they would invite both Daniel Craig and Idris Elba. Just like Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie or Taylor Swift and Kanye West, you will want to keep them apart.
Why? Well, Daniel Craig is the current James Bond, and Idris Elba is his rumor and anticipated replacement. Only thing is Craig has not hung up the tux yet. Therefore, imagine how awkward it must have been when the two of them met. I mean, Idris has pretty much been gunning for that job and Craig still has it.
Maybe, all was good between them and they shared a Martini, shaken not stirred, together; and Craig gave Elba advice on how to play one of the most iconic roles in Hollywood history. That is when he is done with being 007 of course.
For months, there have been rumors and campaigns trying to make Idris Elba the next Bond, James Bond. Yesterday, while he was walking the carpet for his directorial for the movie Yardie, Good Morning Britain asked him about it.
First, they handed him a martini and asked him if he likes it shaken or stirred. He told them, “stirred fry.” Then she asked him, “Am I looking at the next 007?” As he walking away, he told her, “no,” and laughed.
This is the second bit of bad news for the franchise in 24 hours. Yesterday, Danny Boyle dropped out of directing Bond 25 and now this. Maybe it is time for them to hit the pause button and reevaluate how they move forward with other Bond movies. What do you think?
It has been 3 years since we saw Daniel Craig as Bond, James Bond and looks like we are going to have to wait a little longer to see him play the spy again. That is because today, he along with the movie’s producers announced a big change behind the scenes. The statement reads, “Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig today announced that due to creative differences Danny Boyle has decided to no longer direct Bond 25.”
No word who will replace the Oscar-winning director for Slumdog Millionaire or if his departure will affect production. The film is expected to start filming in December and set to be released November 8, 2019.
They should give it to J.J. Abrams because they give him everything.
It has been rumored that Daniel Craig will only do one more James Bond film and then he is done. Since that rumor, several names have been thrown around as a replacement and the latest one might be a little shocking. Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Michael Fassbender and Luke Evans all seem logical, but what do you think of Harry Styles? That’s right, Spectre film editor Lee Smith told Daily Star, “Harry could do it. If they wanted a younger Bond then why not? He has got it.”
Lee believes this because Styles and Christopher Nolan, who is set to direct the next Bond film and worked with the One Direction singer on Dunkirk, worked well together on the war film.
When it comes to Styles as Bond, James Bond, I just think he is too young. As sexy as he is, he is a cute sexy and not a manly sexy. The spy has to look like man and not a boy. What do you think?
Daniel Craig has played James Bond for times since 2005, and the actor told Stephen Colbert yesterday on The Late Show that he thinks the 5th time will be his last. He explained his decision as, “I just want to go out on a high note and I can’t wait.”
When it comes to his previous comments of that he would rather slash his wrists than play the part again, he said that question was asked to him 2 days after wrapping up Spectre. After working on an action film, you can understand why he would say that.
Are you shaken or stirred that he is leaving the franchise?
