Ralph Fiennes Thinks Idris Elba Could Play James Bond
Since the release of “Dr. No” in 1962, the debonair spy known as 007 has thrilled audiences around the world with his combat skills, and his skills with the ladies. I said what was on my mind.
The remit for Spectre was simple.
Is Spectre better than Skyfall?
Craig also addressed the issue of returning as 007 for a fifth movie, something which has been much discussed over the past few weeks.
From a brilliant first outing in Casino Royale, to Marc Foster’s somewhat muddled Quantum of Solace, things only improved once director Sam Mendes took the helm with Skyfall – a truly excellent film.
“We could work with a slightly different style from the other films I’ve done”. You’ll learn that Bond has a drink every 10 minutes, 37 seconds; that 2008’s “Quantum of Solace” had the highest average of alcohol units consumed; and that there are 58.9 kills on average in the films, with 16.65 of them carried out by Bond himself. “It’s a Bond movie”.
One attendee of another Bond premiere posted on Reddit that Ware wouldn’t have been able to gain access to the event using the method in his video. But its home country, the United Kingdom, already got a head start as the film already hit local cinemas on October 27.
“Skyfall was an entirely reactive movie, as far as Bond was concerned”.
Now Mendes and Craig reunite in 007’s next mission, Spectre, but is this fourth attempt as good as its predecessor?
The film opens with a lavish Orson Welles inspired tracking shot, that leads us through Mexico City’s Day of the Dead parade, into a hotel lobby, up in a lift, out of a window and on to the rooftops before finally cutting as a gun sights its target.
“Man of Steel” turned James Bond, who would not fancy that?
“I’ve just been allowed to be creatively involved with these films from the very beginning and I’ve continued to do it with this”, he said. “Don’t worry about it”, reveals the actor, who likes to keep the stunts “as real and fresh as possible”.
If “Spectre” sees half the success we’re expecting it will, those bosses at MI6 might be seeing a ton of applications. “I’m obviously the one that isn’t safe”, he adds with a grin. “But as an actor I don’t want to think about what I look like”. “And Bond is the opposite of that”, he says.
“It was the best contraception ever”, she jokes.
“Should I make another one or not make another one, I’m proud of the four I’ve made”.
