I get they wanted to give Craig a big send-off but...

But there was zero need to kill him off to make room for a new actor. Audiences are accustomed to getting a new Bond actor every few years. Like Dr. Who.


If there's one franchise that can get away with it, it's James Bond. They might have actually pioneered that type of re-casting of the title role or at least were the first ones to be so successful doing it.

Looks great! Dead by Dawn Aug 14, 06:20

I've liked it for awhile now. I also feel Aaron can get the James Bond role. Has that queit intensity. VictorY Aug 14, 06:53

James Bond died. To lots of people it felt like the cinematic death as well. That series feels pretty over to me, and i'm a forever fan. goodvibe61 Aug 14, 07:51

I'm with ya. Having Bond go in that way doesn't sit well with me either. Bond doesn't give up.. Ever. Deserved a better end. VictorY Aug 14, 07:54

Also they pretty much are forced to recast 100% the supporting roles too, not just Bond. RamsFan2004 Aug 14, 08:31

I'm pretty sure Craig made it a point as part of his agreement to do it, he really hated making them. {nm} notfabio Aug 14, 08:57

But why insist on killing Bond off? Does he have a grudge against the character now? Craig wouldn't be back once they re-cast. {nm} RamsFan2004 Aug 14, 09:03

This was public that it was Craig who pushed for this Moviesnob Aug 14, 09:29

+1 for the article link. Strange how he's acting like they could have forced him back as Bond in the future. Does he not have free will? {nm} RamsFan2004 Aug 14, 09:39

no, he just didnt even want to be asked. He broke his leg during SPECTRE and nearly got divorced. When they asked him back he basically said Moviesnob Aug 14, 09:50

That helps me understand what happened. Thanks. And you're right about recasting Bond - some choices have been controversial (like Craig) {nm} RamsFan2004 Aug 14, 10:09

What're they gonna do, try to go back BEFORE Casino Royale? Sorry; there IS NO Bond before that. That's the first Bond book. it's stupid . {nm} goodvibe61 Aug 14, 15:43
