The Craig era more closely followed the spirit of the books. Including the torture scenes.
Bond was not witty. Bond was not suave.
In Fleming’s own words:
"James Bond is a blunt instrument wielded by a Government Department. He is quiet, hard, ruthless, sardonic, fatalistic. In his relationships with women he shows the same qualities as he does in his job, but he has a certain gentleness with them and if they get into trouble he is sometimes prepared to sacrifice his life to rescue them. But not always, and certainly not if it interferes with his job. He likes gambling, golf, and fast motor cars."
Ah, just get one actor with the right physicality, use deep fake technology to put Sean Connery’s face over him, and cast another actor (if needed) to supply the right voice.
My work here is done.
I wonder how far away we are from this...? Star Wars did it with Grand Moff Tarkin, but it was relatively limited....
Someone did a portrait of Bond just based on the descriptions in the novels and it actually looked quite a bit like Roger Moore funnily enough.Ah, just get one actor with the right physicality, use deep fake technology to put Sean Connery’s face over him, and cast another actor (if needed) to supply the right voice.

Bale would be a great pick, although I'm sure Bruce Wayne comparisons would certainly be made.Would've loved if they'd picked Bale instead of Craig. Always thought he's that stiff British arrogance in person and he's pretty good in transforming his physics.
Hiddleston would be an excellent choice. He's got suave, confidence, and can hold his own in a fight. And he looks damn good in a 3 piece suit.If I had one to pick nowadays, I think it'll be Hiddleston. Don't know why it's him but this guy is just a great actor and I kinda like him as a human being as far as I can judge from in front of the screen.
No way he looks like some dude that works in a funeral home, not Bond!
