Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult screen tested for James Bond
The new James Bond should be Reacher. The new Batman should be Reacher. The new Anne of Green Gables should be Reacher.
Joel Tscherne14Reacher should also be the Speaker of the House and both the Senate majority AND minority leader.
Rustin Richtarik 🖖14The new Betty Crocker should be Reacher.
Tamazon ⁂13The new Mike Nelson should be Reacher.
Donnell Caballero9"Bond. James..." "Yeah, I saw you like 300 yards away. Holy shit you're massive."
Tibor Tiger7The new Mitchell should be Reacher.
Colin Duggan 🇨🇦6Anne of Green Gables was always Reacher
Dave Probert48I would pay many to see Alan Richardson play Anne of Green Gables with everyone around him not acknowledging it in any way.
optiMSTie32The new Rowsdower? You guessed it: Frank Stallone.
Mel Stefaniuk5“I’m not letting anyone bring smack into PEI.”
Protik Islam-Jakobsson3bring them all into the Brooklyn nine-nine 'verse
Sonic_Fried2A take so terrible he turned off replies
Ray Minehane2He would be spot on for Absolute Batman
nora-hakase (野良博士)2A man for our times
If Robert Pattinson can’t play James Bond then he should get to be the next Austin Powers
Dave Itzkoff149Get these FEMBOTS out of here
Magenta Rocks9He would be a good Bond villain though.
Lazear6I honestly want that more than bond. He already does weird, now let him use it for comedy.
Todd Vaziri5hear me out: Pattinson stars as Bond in a “Never Say Never Again” remake — get McClory on the phone
Eric Columbus3Remember when the current president was obsessed with him?
ushmel3Both movies at the same time, man.
Haydon, Thankfully11I tend to think that Robert Pattinson would approach both roles with the same level of seriousness and that’s fantastic.
Andrew Sehmann4I believe the true role for him is as the next Benoit Blanc
Mitch Wolfe2The next Austin Powers AND Doctor Evil.
Gear 🍉2I think he should be both
Protik Islam-Jakobsson2This doesn't have to be—indeed, should not be—an either/or situation
I don’t think Robert Pattinson would be a great choice for what I think of a Bond movie as, but I do think Robert Pattinson would be a great choice for Bond in my imagination of how a Bond movie would change with him being Bond (weird unsettling guy)
Brendel165Just from his relationship with Twilight and how he plays Batman I don’t think he’d settle at doing the Pierce Brosnan thing, I think he’d be a greasy little Bondman and we’re ready.
John Madden15i think a james bond that socializes by telling people he saw a clown car full of clowns catch on fire is long overdue.
Ian Rennie8James Bond trying to make a sandwich of uncooked pasta and sugar
dave wagner8i think this is actually a great idea
Imperial Minion 2nd Class6Yeah. I think the idea of Pattinson as Bond is better than a reality of Pattinson as Bond
Stoned Feminist6Whether he's good for the role is irrelevant to me. I just want him to do it for the press tour
🦖 la vaca jamiroquai8exactly we could get a great neurotic and slightly pathetic Bond that is working desperately hard to keep up the charming front
Mitch Wolfe5Robert Pattinson would do great in an A24 movie that's a subversive portrayal of what a real life 007-type intelligence officer and government assassin would be like.
Proven Winner4I will always hold that Bond, as written, is essentially British Patrick Bateman: a pretentious, deeply insecure psychopath with no friends.
Studio needs to either announce who the new James Bond is or shut! The fuck! Up! 👍
Jeff Van Gundy has emerged as a dark horse candidate to be the next James Bond, according to Variety.
Nicolas Hoult is too funny to be James Bond but also every James Bond movie is kind of bad so it might be good to try casting a guy who would be a bad Bond as Bond.
Alex von Tunzelmann11I think Bond is only fun when it is bad. Bring back Roger Moore in space and let him wiggle his eyebrows. Hardbitten humourless Bond is so dull and pompous
dw5This is how we got Dalton. (Full disclosure I've always enjoyed cheesy Dalton Bond)
Franklin D Roosefella3that's like roger moore, right?
The Lincolnshire Poster2Wasn't that the germ of the 1967 Casino Royale?
Fred Fine1I’m a Dev Patel Bond vote. Hell, John Boyega could be great. Nick Frost Bond. Fuck it.
i will be so angry if we lose dozens of fascinating years of robert pattinson to fucking james fucking bond. he already did his bond movie; he just wasn’t bond; it was better than every other bond movie i have seen combined into one. let my weird guy be weird.
emily blight 🍁🍂56the opportunity cost of that shitty fucking dogshit franchise was already like 5 potentially interesting daniel craig performances that had nothing to do with james bond and i paid it. I PAID IT.
Emmy Cumslutress8fr!! like look at how many fun roles daniel craig has done post-bond now that he's free!! don't stop robert from doing weird ass roles!
Kelsey K Davenport, Author2If it helps I feel like they screen-tested every white guy between, what, 30-45??
ScottChe1Tenet is one of those movies where every time I wonder just how the fuck did they do that, Pattinson was such a delight. I imagine they've auditioned Aaron Taylor-Johnson for this too: which would be another waste.
Brittany “God BLEXAS This Home” Marshall1No Robert! Ask Daniel, it ends up being a commitment that wastes years of your career
Pleased to see that the James Bond casting tradition of "film media just saying uncorroborated shit" is alive and well. It's a well-worn practice that dates back to the 1960s.
Loreley Weisel-Librizzi7I saw Goody Proctor audioning for the role of James Bond!
Omega Lairon5I heard all of LRR as a gestalt entity screen tested for Bond is that true? (It doesn't matter, I'm already reporting it as gospel : p)
SodaPaints4I learned about a lot of that from this cool podcast called From Rewatch with Love
Oggie1I honestly have no strong feelings on james bond, except to say- you don't really NEED a great actor, just great presence, because the entire premise is, well, kinda silly. He is the straight man in a stupid world. I think pattinson is a fine actor, feels an odd role but whatever (if it were true)
I don't think it could ever logistically work (there'd be too many leaks), but casting Pattinson as 007, very carefully wording all the PR to never explicitly call him Bond, and then having him be a villainous 007 who's the nemesis of the real new, unknown James Bond would be something.
Brian Phillips40This is a rad idea
