    In this article from yesterday’s London Pride, CNN tells us to take a closer look at one of the flags because it looks like Isis has infiltrated the march.

    In fact, the banner, apparently spotted by Lucy Pawle was a flag adorned with black dildos on a white background.

    More useless press speculation

    :)) :)) :)) Can't see Isis supporting that. :)) in a similar vein
    The wheels Clarkson had on his 4x4 last night were very interesting. ;)
    and keeping the Bond theme, didn't Grace Jones take a"Toy" to bed for
    a laugh with Roger ?

    Yes I saw an article along those lines a little while back. It was calling for a female Bond and suggested Rosamond Pike in the role :)) :)) . Now I love Rosamund, but I mean honestly, spare me!

    The odd lazy journalist, I think just Google's an idea and gets loads of
    Hits for old ( long discredited stories) and simply republishes than as
    " news" :D

    Well it got me riled up :)) Some outlets are now changing their tune and are suggesting that Daniel will play Bond until 2020. They are fickle!

    The Silly Season is on again! According to this article from Tumblr, David Oyelowo has been picked by Ian Fleming Productions to read the next James Bond audiobook. OK, so does the Tumblr author simply acknowledge that a talented actor with a good voice has been chosen to read an audiobook? No--in this gossip-driven age, this is pure, undisputed evidence that David Oyelowo has been tabbed to play Bond after Daniel Craig. You can read it all yourselves. . .

    I think we can apply our usual principle: If David Oyelowo himself confirms it, it's true :007)

    I know this post may be a little ranty, but I'm thoroughly sick of all the media hype regarding Craig's replacement and the future of the series post-Spectre. I mean, the cameras haven't even finished on Spectre yet, Craig is still contracted for a 5th film after Spectre's release, and the main focus of the media is on his replacement and not the upcoming Bond film. Now I enjoy the Bond actor speculation game as much as many other fans do, and there is nothing wrong with posting suggestions and chatting about possible replacements. However, considering how Craig is under contract for another film, and is very much our current 007, I find it a little disrespectful on the media's behalf to be indulging in this topic so much. It's almost as if they're trying to get EON to show him the door.

    Anywho have a look at this article, I think it really sums it up well, and it's nice to see a media outlet criticize this media trend.

    It's mostly just to have something to talk about, but at the same time, because the production side is so slow, it has been 10 years since Craig was announced as Bond. by now, he should have made 5 or 6 films instead of only 4.

    Quality over quantity perhaps ? ;) :D

    I think Dan will make 6 films
  • eric7064eric7064 USAPosts: 343MI6 Agent
    If I had to put money on it I'd say he'd make 5. Not 6.

    That's the general consensus, and what his contract is supposedly for. Before Spectre was announced, people were always asking me what I thought about James Bond being finished. They asked me if I was going to continue my blog because the James Bond series was finished. They thought when Daniel Craig became James Bond it was supposed to be a trilogy, like many of film series. Or they thought the fiftieth anniversary meant it was the end. Then when Spectre was announced, again, people were all telling me the big news because they were so surprised there was another James Bond film.

    That's interesting. I'm surprised so many people thought that. Bond is not going anywhere. Yet whoever is picked after Craig will have the most pressure put on then any other Bond.

    Yes I know it's open ended. And I've also heard in many interviews and pieces that it sounds as if Dan is getting very close to the end of the line. Obviously if he's offered an insane amount of money and a good script he could very well do 6. But my opinion is he will do one more after SPECTRE
  • lotuslotus englandPosts: 292MI6 Agent
    Well time will tell
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    If he does six, that's very close to Roger's seven ? Might the
    Temptation to equal that be too much ? :))

    This is the pain that is the James Bond news cycle. As soon as cameras start rolling, the press starts printing how producers are already looking for a replacement. Actors start putting their hands up claiming they've been tapped just to get some publicity. And it goes on and on. Instead of celebrating the film, I have to hear from my friends how Henry Cavill is the next Bond because some trash paper said so.

    Yes it's shocking isn't it 8-) I for one hope that big Dan is around for a while longer. Apparently he's contracted until 2020, which would mean that he'll definitely do one more, and perhaps another, depending on how quickly the the next one is produced. Although there are so many rumours flying around it's hard to know what to believe :D

    Not going to happen... as soon as there is a new actor, Craig's critics will take over, just like it happened before.

    Ohhh disagree. I thought Moore's best were actually his early few.
