So here is how I would cast a new '007' movie.
The really new scenes are still embargo'd for the immediate moment because they're in front of some major people right now.

| This is 'Bond.' Shaun Evans. The other guy, the one 'they' want, the one that recently played my relative 'Stephen' the osteopath in the Profumo thing, is not 'bad enough,' not dark enough. Evans is dark enough. |
But the basic intro scenes are here for your pleasure and entertainment...
Now, though, before you rush headlong into any of this, let me point a silly little trinket of 'info' out that no one really, has considered over the past few years of all this 'excitement' with Miramax and Harvey Weinstein...
Certainly you are personally entitled to think whatever you like, and come to your own conclusions no matter how wildly implausible they really are (although I know at least one of you out there will always default to that one, because it is the 'MSM-proffered typical BS position on everything that reeks of the underhanded...').
But, in the cause of 'high fiction' we might do worse than go back to the 1974 masterpiece, written, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola 'The Conversation,' which was about, as you will recall, a surveillance expert (played by Gene Hackman) who comes across some rather dark audio tapes, and these combined with his own personal demons, leads us through an interesting couple of hours.
Someone who has spent a lot of time listening into the private affairs of New York hoods, though, knows what happens when someone becomes a 'made man.'
And you're entitled to believe that ye olde Harvey Weinstein gets to rub shoulders with, nay, actually be agent for, OJ Simpson and Frank Sinatra up in NYC way back when Harvey was not long out of short pants - because it's all just an accident, right?

| It's what you don't know, that will kill ya. |
But I will tell this for no money: you start 'pricking your thumb to let the blood flow, and then drop it onto pictures of saints and stuff, and burn those with fire and so on -,' and next thing you know, we're talking full-on spirit possession, voodoo, zombification (LOL - was the kind of phrasing the media used to joke about during the Granada War; which the US actually won, you will also recall).
Yeah, Harvey got to where he got to (at the high end of his life) through smarts and hard work and some luck and fortunate accidents, right...
...Lucky I got a better gun than most.
Lucky you just can be on the side-lines and throw jaffas.
By the way, it's time I said this, I got a lot better gun.
I just don't show it at all. It's never going to appear here on these pages.
What'll appear is the digest version of everything. Like this:
So that is a couple of tear sheets featuring who I would cast.
I have to put all this up here right now because there's a couple of, um, Arab sheikhs with cash looking for a movie to make, schooling around like sharks.
Read this, watch the video clips that will come here regularly now - do not waste your money going to Bond 25.
Unless you feel like being sick.
You don't need to be doing that!
People want something nice, and cute, and charming, and little bit, well, swish swish.
This video clip below is a track rejected by the producers @Bond24.

| Her husband wants the Bond role. I don't know Orlando. Maybe. Maybe. |
Now seeing that Kevin MClory - who invented the whole damn 'Spectre' thing - was a relative of mine (or at least, my dad's because they're all that era that has long gone now), I think I can do what the bloody hell I want with some of the basic ideas, if not the actual nomenclatura now, since the main Studio people did a settlement deal with McClory; and then he died!
It's what happens around Bond though; people die. LOL Bond never dies - even though the studio is really trying their best to mortally knife him right now.
Someone should tap them on the shoulder: 'it doesn't work like that guys - Bond was not ever actually alive or real to begin with.'
Bond is, to paraphrase Joe Biden about these kinds of things, just an idea.
