i see he was also in goldeneye, though not the brosnan version, but an 80's film about ian fleming - with charles dance as fleming, pre game of thrones.

by chance, was looking at this info the other day as watched the recent mini-series on fleming with dominic cooper as fleming. thought that was great fun though, unless you accept that fleming was pretty much behind everything that happened to win the war, a bit of boys own fun.

Stephen Hawking fancies himself as a Bond villain


Article%20Lead%20-%20wide6378243611yu5qi



English theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking would like a part in a James Bond movie.


"My ideal role would be a baddie in James Bond. I think the wheelchair and the computer voice would fit the part," he said.


Hawking is not only famous for making the obscure science of cosmology exciting to the masses but is also a famous and very successful author.



He has suffered from motor nuerone disease since 1963 when he was given only two years to live.


Hawking has recently become the subject of a movie himself, with the film The Theory of Everything taking his story to an even broader audience. Eddie Redmayne plays Hawking in that movie, a role for which he has been tipped to win an Oscar.


Details of the next Bond movie are due to be released this week, with the name of the 24th film in the long-running franchise due to be announced during an event to be broadcast live online from Pinewood Studios, which has long been the home for 007 hits.


Members of the cast will be present as the production team assembles at the studio to launch the follow-up to Skyfall at 11am GMT. Filming will begin four days later.


Director Sam Mendes, who was in charge of the previous film, was announced last year as director of the next instalment after producers agreed to fit around his other commitments.


Daniel Craig has also been confirmed for a further outing as Bond, while screenwriter John Logan is another who will return.

The team will, however, have their work cut out to match the success of Skyfall, which is the highest-grossing film of all time in the UK and the most successful in the Bond franchise globally.


The new film is expected to be released in October 2015, during what will be a busy few weeks at the box office, with the final Hunger Games film and the eagerly awaited Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens due out in subsequent weeks.

The Next James Bond Movie Is Called Spectre And Is Out 2015

uj9s6kvnyvxdqlyetyll.jpg

In a live online announcement event, director Sam Mendes has revealed that the next James Bond move will be called Spectre and hit the screens in late 2015.
Mendes explained that Daniel Craig will still play Bond, and will be joined by Andrew Scott (Moriarty in BBC’s Sherlock, playing Denbigh), Dave Bautista, Monica Bellucci, Christoph Waltz (playing a character called Oberhauser) and Léa Seydoux. While the movie won’t be a direct sequel to Skyfall, it will “live in the same world” — which means that Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, and Ben Whishaw will also appear.
Bond will drive an Aston Martin DB10 in the film.

The film, which goes into production tomorrow, uses locations including Pinewood London, Mexico City, Rome, Tangier & Erfoud, Morocco, Sölden, Obertilliach and Lake Altausee, Austria.
Spectre will premiere in the US on November 6th 2015.

Watch The First Behind-The-Scenes Footage Of The New James Bond Movie

Later this year, the 24th James Bond move, called Spectre, will hit the screens. In the meantime, though, you’ll have to make do with watching this first behind-the-scenes footage from the new movie.
While co-stars Léa Seydoux and Dave Bautista are interviewed, a moody Daniel Craig scuttles around the Austrian mountains, firing guns and punching people. Of course he does! That’s what he does best. There’s also a car chase across the snow — said to be one of the major action sequences of the movie. Spectre will be released in theatres in November.

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I ever since Sean Connery and Roger Moore played the part 007 to me just has nothing new and unique to cause me to reflect and want to watch the actors series over and over as an instant classic. Don't get me wrong, I think Daniel Craig has finally put something in it that TImothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan were missing but I don't think the series is quite back to the expectations that set 007 apart from other action spy flicks.

understand what you say but i wonder if it is more that the others have caught up. that said, the moore-era was very much a low point (in western civilisation). thought dalton did reasonably well but was horribly let down by a cartoon script for the 2nd one, licence to kill. never convinced by brosnan - as 007, he made a great remington steele - but he got a bit better throughout.

must say i have never ever been a fan of lea seydoux so a bit apprehensive about that. on the other hand, monica belluci can do no wrong.

Christoph Waltz as the rumoured Blofeld won't let anyone down, like Javier Bardem in Skyfall, I have every confidence that Waltz can pull off a borderline unhinged, maniacal, genius villain. Stephen Hawking as a Bond villain...seriously, they should do that. It would stand out and be memorable for sure!

waltz fine.

hawking. NO NO NO NO NO NO.

the 007 franchise went down the clowns-R-us route back with roger moore and then, as much as i love the guy, john cleese as R or whatever he was. cleese? in a bond movie? spare me. it was as bad as it deserved to be. that sort of crap is why the others have caught up and even surpassed 007. cleese is a genius at what he does. not at being in a bond flick.

i think daniel craig has done a brilliant job of putting the franchise back on track - well, aside from that truly dire 'Quantum'. what were they thinking? whoever directed that crap could not direct traffic.

and bringing in quality actors like fiennes and ben whishaw is inspired.

I think Licence to Kill is one of the most underrated Bond films ever. Yes, the writing could have been better but I still think it's better than some other bond movies, far better than Brosnans Die Another Day to say one. The difference in LTK is that Bond is really pretty much on his own taking revenge and tracking down people who hurt his friends. I personally didn't mind Dalton as Bond.

i liked dalton a lot and wish he'd done more. much preferred the other one he did. living daylights. thought it was right up there. he has done the personal revenge bit a few too many times.

for me, living daylights was a bit too silly. plastic sharks and the religious centre and so on. for me, too much of a hangover from the moore days.

i gather dalton was supposed to do another one - goldeneye - but the studio was involved in law suits and so it was delayed for years and he lost interest.

i would have had die another day as brosnan's best (certainly not least thanks to halle berry) but his was a low bar.

Agree about Dalton and License to Kill!
