Why would you think Bond diehards wouldn't like a return to the time period in which Ian Fleming set his books? Bond is directly a product of the Cold War. Who are these "diehards" to whom you're referring?AliasMan02 said:
A return to the Cold War Bond with Nolan at the helm would be very exciting, though I'm not sure the Bond diehards would like it.
I want to say that phrase was used in another Bond movie, perhaps Octo*****?G Martin 87 said:Aggies76 said:
The post Casino Royal stories are not from source material. I believe Flemings actual material was exhausted long ago.
There are four short story titles that haven't been used yet. "Risico", "The Hildebrand Rarity", "007 in New York", and "The Property of a Lady". But I think the situations in all 4 have shown up in the movies by now. The auction in "The Living Daylights" was based on "Property of a Lady", for example.

Just saw someone float this idea online and I'm curious to hear TexAgs' reaction...
Nolan was recently quoted as comparing the casting of Harry Styles in Dunkirk to that of Heath Ledger in TDK, saying, "You can see the potential." Given that Styles is A) getting great reviews for his performance in Dunkirk, and B) is British... if Nolan were to take over the Bond franchise after is Craig is done... could you accept HARRY STYLES as Bond in, say, six or seven years?
Granted, none of us have seen his performance yet, and there are so many years/variables between now and then, but it would certainly be a headline-grabbing choice...
Google said he's 5'10, same as Daniel Craig.schmendeler said:isn't he tiny?TCTTS said:

ordinarily, no. the traditional notion seemed to be that you need a big name to play an iconic character. Marvel has debunked that notion quite successfully and I'd say Nolan has earned the same benefit of the doubt.TCTTS said:

You clearly didn't pay close enough attention to The World Is Not Enough.dallas ag said:
