BONDSTON

He looks a great deal more like Ian Fleming, a classic Brit, and a WWII era Brit than any other Bond I’ve ever seen. And having watched him as Loki and Henry he’s certainly crafty enough.

“The Night Manager”

Tom Hiddleston is having quite the year with starring roles in Ben Wheatley’s “High-Rise,” about a tower block stratified by class that devolves into chaos, Marc Abraham’s “I Saw The Light,” a Hank Williams biopic, and the AMC limited series “The Night Manager,” based on the John le Carré novel of the same name. Now, BMD reports that a source has confirmed that Tom Hiddleston is in talks to replace Daniel Craig as the new James Bond. Though no official offer has been made, Hiddleston is interested in the job and the relevant discussions are under way. Indiewire reached out to a Sony representative on the matter and they had no comment.

If Tom Hiddleston were cast as Bond, he would be the eighth actor to play the role after Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. The Bond film series kicked off with “Dr. No” in 1962, after which Bond films were released at steady clip until 1989 when a legal dispute stalled the series until 1995 with the release of “GoldenEye.” In 2006, Eon Productions effectively rebooted the series with “Casino Royale” and Craig who portrayed Bond much closer to author Ian Fleming’s vision of the character. The last Bond film was “Spectre,” which received a mixed-to-negative reception.

SPECTRE

The first poster for the next James Bond film ‘SPECTRE’ has arrived and to say it’s not giving much away would be like calling 007 a “civil servant”.

As several commenters online have already pointed out, the costume worn by the moody-looking Daniel Craig appears to be a nod to Roger Moore, as it bears more than a passing resemblance to the rollneck/gun holster combo sported by Bond in ‘Live and Let Die’.

As well as the teaser poster above which first appeared on the official @007 Twitter account, there also appears to be a few subtle variations of the design kicking around too.

One key fact it has divulged though is that the 24th film in the franchise will be getting an IMAX release when it hits cinemas later this year. ‘SPECTRE’ follows in the footsteps of ‘Skyfall’ which also got a release on the super-sized screens in 2012.

‘SPECTRE’ is coming to cinemas in November, 2015.
