Speaker 1: It's nice sign with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2: I'm will you easy Bond. James Bond is a subject
Speaker 2: of the hour. We've had oh good, twenty people call
Speaker 2: in with who they feel would make the next James
Speaker 2: Bond a solid choice. If you want to call in,
Speaker 2: I have a line available six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 2: ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two nine, ten thirty.
Speaker 2: There's a gentleman who's here with me. His name is
Speaker 2: Stephen Rubin, Stephen J. Rubin. He has done a number
Speaker 2: of Bond books, The Bond Gadgets Book, the.
Speaker 3: No No, that's not my book. My book is the
Speaker 3: main book is the fourth edition of the James Bond
Speaker 3: Movie Encyclopedia.
Speaker 2: I apologize.
Speaker 3: That's okay, there re.
Speaker 2: Plug somebody else's book.
Speaker 3: There are a lot of gadgets in the encyclopedia, as
Speaker 3: an encyclopedia should, so definitely you can get it on Amazon.
Speaker 3: Four hundred photos, lots of color. It's the It's the
Speaker 3: Bible of James Bond.
Speaker 2: Okay, And isn't there another one that you did?
Speaker 3: My first book was called the James Bond Films, A
Speaker 3: Behind the Scenes History, which was first nineteen eighty one,
Speaker 3: forty four years ago updates.
Speaker 2: Are you still there? Did we lose you? Oh? My goodness, Rob,
Speaker 2: if you can re establish contact and if you want
Speaker 2: to call in this room for you six point seven
Speaker 2: two five ten thirty or eight eight eight nine two
Speaker 2: nine ten thirty and uh tomorrow on the Morgan Show
Speaker 2: my first hour, give me a subject for trivia because
Speaker 2: the following week I'm going to do two hours of
Speaker 2: trivia on The Morgan Show. And you can tell me
Speaker 2: too subjects. My current guest, Stephen J. Rubin, suggested, I
Speaker 2: do bugs as an insects and flags and Steven, are
Speaker 2: you back?
Speaker 3: I am back. I think Specter got into the the
Speaker 3: electronics for a second, but I'm back on track.
Speaker 2: Oh, the adastardly, you know, the adastardly and didn't what's
Speaker 2: his last name? The actor Christophet Waltz. He was the
Speaker 2: best ernth starvar blowfouls for a while. I was not
Speaker 2: going to pick anybody else but Donald pleasants, but he
Speaker 2: out pleasant pleasants.
Speaker 3: Donald was not very pleasant and the oilf twice, that's
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 2: But do you feel that he did such a great
Speaker 2: job at being evil and current?
Speaker 4: O'donald?
Speaker 3: No, Christophe a little the role was a little underwritten,
Speaker 3: particularly in the last James Bond movie. But in the
Speaker 3: first time I was okay. I'm not a big fan
Speaker 3: of Spector Morgan. I thought Spector had a great opening
Speaker 3: and then kind of died on the vine. For me,
Speaker 3: it was a little too by the numbers Bond. Bond
Speaker 3: gets away too easily in that movie. Bond should have
Speaker 3: an obstacle course to follow, and you know that was
Speaker 3: not one of my favorites. The Daniel Craig bonds have
Speaker 3: been off and on the first one Casino Royale four
Speaker 3: stars out of four stars. Then you have Quantum of
Speaker 3: Solace for my money gets two stars, just bland. It
Speaker 3: was Skyfall back up to four stars, a lot of fun,
Speaker 3: great villain, and Javier bardein Spector gets two stars, and
Speaker 3: then the big question, no time to die. It's a
Speaker 3: real toss up because of Daniel Craig, and because Daniel's
Speaker 3: already always good. I give it three stars. But there's
Speaker 3: been a lot of pushback on that.
Speaker 2: And Daniel Craig won me over. I did not expect
Speaker 2: to place him as high of all the men to
Speaker 2: be Bond, and I put him behind Sean Connery, ahead
Speaker 2: of his Broston and Roger Moore is like fourth or fifth.
Speaker 3: My favorite no Roger was Bond Light, and I hesitate
Speaker 3: to say anything bad about Roger because Roger catapulted the
Speaker 3: Bond movies into another level when they needed it, films
Speaker 3: when they needed By the mid seventies, the series was
Speaker 3: tiring a little bit, you know. They fumbled a little
Speaker 3: bit with George Lazenby. Although that movie is a terrific movie,
Speaker 3: they couldn't get Connery back. They brought in Roger and
Speaker 3: By the Spy Me, followed by Octopusy and Moonraker or
Speaker 3: Moonraker and Octopusy, big international hits. I think the Bond
Speaker 3: movies really reached a much higher level in terms of
Speaker 3: a new generation of fans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will agree with that, and give me your
Speaker 2: top three actors to play Bard.
Speaker 3: Well, the rule of thumb is that you love the
Speaker 3: one you grow up with, so it'll always be Sean
Speaker 3: Connery for me. Daniel Craig is my number two, and
Speaker 3: I would have to say Pierce was my number three.
Speaker 2: And I agree with your one, two and three one
Speaker 2: play some show. I loved Pierce Bresdon and Daniel Craig.
Speaker 2: I think that extra film, Pierce Preston did four, Daniel
Speaker 2: Craig did five, and that extra film gave Daniel Craig
Speaker 2: to be in second place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, Daniel brought it and I think
Speaker 3: that we'll always treasure his Bond Residents because he really
Speaker 3: didn't flinch from the role. He worked his butt off,
Speaker 3: He got hurt several times. I think he knocked his
Speaker 3: tooth out, he broke his ankle. I mean, this is
Speaker 3: a guy who really brought his a game to the
Speaker 3: role and we were very fortunate to have him when
Speaker 3: we had him.
Speaker 2: And it's not an easy thing to do to make
Speaker 2: a movie, to make an action film. If you're making
Speaker 2: a movie like Lynn Garry Glenn Ross, you know, everything's
Speaker 2: all one set. You don't have any tricks to perform,
Speaker 2: so to speak. Okay, just act, just act. But if
Speaker 2: he's doing a Bond film, you got your hands full.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, we're to see the new Mission Impossible
Speaker 3: movie with Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is another actor who
Speaker 3: brings it to every film.
Speaker 1: Well he does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just accept getting old.
Speaker 3: Well, they say this is the last one, and of
Speaker 3: course we say yuck, yuck. I'm sure there'll be another
Speaker 3: Mission Impossible with another person. But this is an interesting
Speaker 3: point that the challenge that the Bond films face now
Speaker 3: is that they face competition from films like Mission Impossible,
Speaker 3: from The Kingsmen on a lighter level, from the Boorn series,
Speaker 3: from Fast and the Furious John Whick. There's a dozen
Speaker 3: franchises involving action and big international conspiracy movies. So to
Speaker 3: be fresh, the Bond Bond films have a great challenge
Speaker 3: to do, and it starts with getting the right actor.
Speaker 3: And I think with Daniel Craig, he was so good
Speaker 3: as Bond. I think he carried even the weaker entries
Speaker 3: in the series.
Speaker 2: All right, well we shall see. Let me take my break.
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones. After the break, we
Speaker 2: lost two of you. So if you want six one, seven, two,
Speaker 2: four ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two, nine,
Speaker 2: ten thirty. Stephen J. Rubin is my guest, and he
Speaker 2: would love to hear who you feel would make a
Speaker 2: good James Bond in the next movie. Time and Temperature
Speaker 2: eleven point fifteen seventy three degrees, No.
Speaker 3: Jimbo roll a little again from all wats his name?
Speaker 2: Tz jev? Yeah? What are you doing anyway? Manion Trees.
Speaker 2: I am not here.
Speaker 4: The CIA is no knowledge, no involvement, absolutely nothing to
Speaker 4: do with your insertion into Cuba.
Speaker 3: If you catch my drift.
Speaker 5: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: Full Lines, Full Line, Morgan has full line sar at
Speaker 2: Nightside and uh, I guess Stephen, Jay Ruben Steven. Joe
Speaker 2: John Baker died and he had an interesting resthume because
Speaker 2: he did I think three James Barr movies, two where
Speaker 2: he was Barnes ally and one where he was the
Speaker 2: main villain. Yeah.
Speaker 3: He was Brad Whittaker in the Living Daylights opposite Timothy Dalton.
Speaker 3: He was very good. We all remember Joe Don Baker
Speaker 3: from his real star making role as Duford Pusser. Yes,
Speaker 3: in Walking, Walking, Tall, and he carried that piece of
Speaker 3: wood and he would talk about a kick ass guy.
Speaker 3: I mean, Joe Don Baker was just a real strong
Speaker 3: presence in cinema. I was just watching him today. I
Speaker 3: had had a movie on from nearly two thousands called Congo.
Speaker 2: Oh I love that movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Internet but played a big, big high finance tycoon,
Speaker 3: always good.
Speaker 2: Did you find my diamond? Did you get that Diamond.
Speaker 2: I can't do that voice, but luck, let's go to
Speaker 2: Robert in Boston.
Speaker 4: Hello Robert, Yes, it's good evening, Margin White and Stephen J. Rubin.

Speaker 2: four picture deal and we'll pay you seven million dollars

Speaker 2: We don't. I was just just a Joshua.
Speaker 4: Oh you were just kidding. But you know I was
Speaker 4: grown up in Okay. Do you want to know what
Speaker 4: Alia I did?
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 4: I did local theater, okay, always wishing that the critiques
Speaker 4: had come down. Try to discover me? Okay? Do you
Speaker 4: want to know any other things about what Areel was
Speaker 4: brought up in? In the Histeric Alia?
Speaker 3: No, I've got I got a question for you. I
Speaker 3: asked this a lot to all of my film film
Speaker 3: fan friends. If you were okay, you were stranded, if
Speaker 3: you were stranded on a desert island and you only
Speaker 3: were allowed to bring one movie with your video player.
Speaker 3: What movie would it be?
Speaker 4: What movie would it be? Uh, moon Raker, Moonraker.
Speaker 3: Oh, very interesting choice.
Speaker 4: So you like the space age bond, right, because they
Speaker 4: think the moon Raker Jaws, you know, went and became
Speaker 4: on games Bond sad he turned bond, Yes, and he
Speaker 4: became a word and I'd like the influence.
Speaker 3: And he wanted to become a good guy. No exactly,
Speaker 3: ja Jaws became a good guy. And in the last
Speaker 3: scene he turns to his girlfriend of Blue Blonde and
Speaker 3: says to us, is the only words spoken in the series.
Speaker 4: So it also showed that the well I want to
Speaker 4: say the right words, but that the underdog, the person
Speaker 4: that's not always the best looking person you know, can
Speaker 4: can become a good person.
Speaker 2: Well. Richard Richard Kyle, who played Jaws, he went all
Speaker 2: the way back to episode of TV in the fifties.
Speaker 2: He was in a twilight Zone to serve many famous
Speaker 2: He was in a couple of Wild Wild West episodes
Speaker 2: as Voltaire up to Mikolito, Ready for the Steven Mikolito Quixote,
Speaker 2: Loveless's henchman.
Speaker 3: Michael Michael Gunn, wonderful.
Speaker 2: Actress, great actor. Say that again, Robert.
Speaker 4: He was also in some Western movies.
Speaker 3: Yes he was, Yes he was, Okay, not not to
Speaker 3: be by the way, not to be confused with the
Speaker 3: actor who played Lurk on the Ted Cassidy who was
Speaker 3: in Bush Cassidy and The Sun Dance Kid. Some people
Speaker 3: think that was Richard Keel. It was not Richard Keel.
Speaker 4: It was not. And Steve, we can ask him no
Speaker 4: question than you go, how does how does a person
Speaker 4: get discovered? And you know, they try to be in
Speaker 4: a movie, They.
Speaker 3: Go to they go to acting school for a really
Speaker 3: long time and they perfect their craft and they start
Speaker 3: to do plays and they get the attention and then
Speaker 3: maybe get some TV rolls and you never know what's
Speaker 3: going to happen after that.
Speaker 2: And then you go to Swaps drug store and hang out.
Speaker 4: Information.
Speaker 5: My name Rod number.
Speaker 3: But thank you for the call, Thank you, Robert.
Speaker 2: Time to say good night, good night, Robie. There you go,
Speaker 2: all right, you want to call in take that line
Speaker 2: six one, seven, two, five, fourteen thirty eight eight, eight
Speaker 2: nine to nine, ten thirty Joe in Plymouth, you were next.
Speaker 1: Good eating, good evening. So I have two long shots
Speaker 1: and then I have a more likely and the long
Speaker 1: shots to Jason Statham.
Speaker 2: You know what, Jason Statham is a good suggestion because
Speaker 2: of the physical county of playing James Bard. I think
Speaker 2: he might be up there in age, but he doesn't
Speaker 2: seem to age no matter what movie we see him in,
Speaker 2: the Expendables or what what's the Transporter?
Speaker 1: He says a bunch of where he's this fourth you know,
Speaker 1: this fourth multiplier that he can just wipe out the
Speaker 1: bad people seehi.
Speaker 3: You know, Jason, Jason Statham is fifty eight years old
Speaker 3: boy and did not look at and I would say
Speaker 3: that Jason States is the closest we have right now
Speaker 3: to a steady freddy action star. Every time his movie
Speaker 3: comes out, his movie comes out there people want to
Speaker 3: see him. I don't think he wants to tie up
Speaker 3: with Bond. He's too old anyway, because because he can
Speaker 3: do anything.
Speaker 2: All right now, Joe, I'm gonna repeat what Steven had
Speaker 2: said like fifteen twenty minutes ago. Yet I know the
Speaker 2: people who have the Barn franchise, they will want somebody
Speaker 2: to sign up to do at least for maybe five
Speaker 2: separate films, and to do five films, you know, every
Speaker 2: other year they keep coming out with another one, so
Speaker 2: you're looking at eight, nine, ten years. So by twenty
Speaker 2: thirty five, what's Jason state, I'm going to look like.
Speaker 3: Look Grandma Moses.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Brandon SkELL And known in the The Yellowstone franchise in
Speaker 1: the nineteen twenty three series. He's only thirty four years old.
Speaker 3: It's funny. It's funny. You should mention him because this
Speaker 3: afternoon I looked him up. He's a American, and you
Speaker 3: would lose a lot of points by casting an American
Speaker 3: actor as James Bond around the world. So I would
Speaker 3: say that I like him. He plays the son of
Speaker 3: Harrison Porter's trying to make it back to Montana from overseas,
Speaker 3: and he's a fine action actor. I like him, but
Speaker 3: probably not a Bond.
Speaker 1: And the was the last one was oh okay, how
Speaker 1: can I forget me?
Speaker 2: You and Robert the last caller? Uh, you've got high hopes, the.
Speaker 1: Friend Martini Hicken and not stirred.
Speaker 2: You're right, all right? Then tell you what you've got
Speaker 2: the role. Just tell me the one James Bond movie
Speaker 2: where he said it backwards, I want it stirred and
Speaker 2: not shake.
Speaker 1: That was Doctor Pussy.
Speaker 2: No, it was a Sean Connery movie.
Speaker 1: Sean Conry To Live and Let Die?
Speaker 2: Uh, to Live in a Die was Roger Moore. You've
Speaker 2: failed the entrance exam. If you can't name the right
Speaker 2: movie in the right circumstance, you're not even going to
Speaker 2: be considered.
Speaker 1: Can I send you my work, my video work.
Speaker 2: You've already blown the game. You said a Sean Connery
Speaker 2: movie when it was a Roger Moore movie.
Speaker 1: I'm six feet one half inch.
Speaker 2: How old are you?
Speaker 1: Well? My my new miracle age, ye, my biological age
Speaker 1: is forty two.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll keep that in mind. Say good night, Joe,
Speaker 2: bye bye. Okay, all right, click, all right, we've got
Speaker 2: to take our break at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 2: Give you a little bit of news if you have
Speaker 2: and heard the Celtics are out of the playoffs. Heavy
Speaker 2: sigh six four thirty eight, eight, eight, nine, nine, ten thirty.
Speaker 2: You want to make a bond suggestion to Steven J.
Speaker 2: Rubin and me here Morgan's filling in on the Dan
Speaker 2: Ray Show. Please do time and temperature eleven twenty nine
Speaker 2: seventy three degrees night side with Dan Ray on WBZ,
Speaker 2: Boston's news radio. Rob, do you have another drop in handy. Okay,
Speaker 2: then never mind, we have only twenty two to twenty
Speaker 2: three minutes of show to go for whatever reason during
Speaker 2: a break, it does happen when people hang up because they.
Speaker 3: Don't Morgan, I gotta. I just want to throw something
Speaker 3: out for you before the end of the show. I
Speaker 3: will give you some of the choices for Bond that
Speaker 3: I have discerned from my research.
Speaker 2: All right, and we've only got two names that got
Speaker 2: more than one vote vote, Henry clove L and Hugh Jackman.
Speaker 2: I think those are the only ones that got a
Speaker 2: minimum of two votes on the show. So if anyone
Speaker 2: out there wants to call in, the lines are wide open.
Speaker 2: Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten, thirty eight eight, eight, nine, two, nine,
Speaker 2: ten thirty. Who do you think would make a good bond?
Speaker 2: And nobody has called in? With an actor from the past. Well,
Speaker 2: we did get Ray Fines, but Ray Fines has another
Speaker 2: job in the franchise, playing m last couple of movies
Speaker 2: he played M let me and.
Speaker 3: We Got, and we Got and we Got John Boyd,
Speaker 3: and John Boyd would have been good. Back in his heyday.
Speaker 2: He would have been Let's go to Nashville, New Hampshire
Speaker 2: and speak to Paul Paul. Yeah, who do you want
Speaker 2: to say?
Speaker 1: Sammwigan. He was in the movie Despite the Do Be
Speaker 1: with Kate McKinnon. He's a bonneted guy.
Speaker 3: He's also the star of the Outlander TV series on
Speaker 3: on uh. I think it's on Stars. It's a wonderful
Speaker 3: time travel series. He's on my list too. I think
Speaker 3: Sam Hugen is a very charismatic actor. I think the
Speaker 3: ladies love him. I think he was my wife's hall
Speaker 3: pass for a few years.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, thank you, that's.
Speaker 2: All you want to say. Okay, good night. Let's go
Speaker 2: to Franklin, mass and speak to Steven Steven, Hello, who
Speaker 2: do you want to choose?
Speaker 1: I'd like to He's I think pronounced Nicholas.
Speaker 2: Holt, Nicholas la Yes, I was hoping, what's Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, no, Nicholas Holt.
Speaker 2: Steven, do you know who Nicholas Holt is?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking him up. Nicholas. I remember he played J. R. R.
Speaker 3: Tolkien in a movie about the writer of the Lord
Speaker 3: of the Rings movies. He's He's a classic British actor.
Speaker 3: I'm looking him up right now.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: In the menu.
Speaker 3: He was in Mad Max. He's let's see, he's thirty
Speaker 3: six years old, so he's in a good range of acting.
Speaker 3: My question about Nicholas is can he throw a punch?
Speaker 3: That's one of the key factors about Bond and having
Speaker 3: been in Mad Max, perhaps he's already fulfilled that.
Speaker 2: All right, Stephen, anything else, that's it? All right, thank you?
Speaker 2: Excuse me. I've got a guest. Something he said made
Speaker 2: me think of this person because he was good in
Speaker 2: his heyday in the nineties on a TV series Jonathan Franks,
Speaker 2: who played Lieutenant Will Riker. He's got the height. He
Speaker 2: has done action scenes, a many of action scenes in
Speaker 2: Star Trek Next Generation. What do you think of him now?
Speaker 2: He's too old now, but maybe if we could have
Speaker 2: gotten him off of his heyday of being on Star Trek,
Speaker 2: what do you think about that?
Speaker 3: I remember him being very charismatic. I think it's if
Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken, he's become a director. He has, he has,
Speaker 3: he's let's see, he's I think he's an American though,
Speaker 3: so they would have been disqualified. Oh yeah, all right,
Speaker 3: so yeah, so he's yeah, he's uh from eastern Pennsylvania,
Speaker 3: so you know, there are a lot of American because
Speaker 3: I always joke and I have said this a thousand times.
Speaker 3: One of the first persons they considered was Jimmy Stewart.
Speaker 3: And can you picture Morgan him introducing himself, Mama giants Bond,
Speaker 3: you do that very well as Jimmy Stewart.
Speaker 2: Harvey. Let's go to Pennsylvania and speak to Junie Jony.
Speaker 2: You've called in who do I have one?
Speaker 4: I have one?
Speaker 5: He's an American, but he first has a te NEETs
Speaker 5: into the Bond the rock his grandfather was. It was
Speaker 5: in the Bond movies playing one of the villains.
Speaker 2: Which one.
Speaker 4: He played?
Speaker 1: Odd job?
Speaker 2: I think no, Harold Sakata played odd Job.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 5: I think Peter Lavella was also in it too.
Speaker 2: Peter my Via was in You Only Live Twice. Bond
Speaker 2: and Peter mcvea had a fight in uh the office
Speaker 2: of Tanaka at the top of that building.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 3: He was a big, big guy, the big Japanese kind
Speaker 3: of sumo type of guy, right.
Speaker 2: That's right, And James Bond had to hit him with
Speaker 2: a couch and finally hit him with a small statue
Speaker 2: across the top of his head and that knocked him
Speaker 2: out killed him as a matter of fact.
Speaker 3: But what was the name of them?
Speaker 1: I didn't get.
Speaker 5: I think the Rock the work on the absent. I
Speaker 5: think he beats he would be that he would be
Speaker 5: the first, might be the first. I'd say it first,
Speaker 5: flat bag that I think he could do it.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry because I misunderstood what you first said.
Speaker 3: I thought you said kid Rock, the Rock, the Rock, give.
Speaker 2: Us the right name. If you're going to make a guess, Joni,
Speaker 2: help us by giving the right name.
Speaker 3: You know, the Rocket the Rock is one of our
Speaker 3: most physical actors, and I think that he's he's probably
Speaker 3: too big a personality to be James Bond. And he's
Speaker 3: let's see, his real name, of course, is Dwayne Johnson.
Speaker 3: He's got the hype, he's got the height, he's got
Speaker 3: the fists, he's you know, he's about as close as
Speaker 3: you get to a real movie star because he has
Speaker 3: a huge following. Now let's see, Dwayne Johnson was born
Speaker 3: in seventy two, so James Bond, Dwayne Johnson is fifty
Speaker 3: three too. Yeah, it seems that you can't start your
Speaker 3: Bond career over fifty. You gotta start it. Probably the
Speaker 3: latest is forty five, I would think, right, do you thank.
Speaker 2: You, Jony, Jony, don't hang up. Do you think the
Speaker 2: rock is attractive as you watch a movie? Do you swoon?
Speaker 5: I think he thoughts are.
Speaker 2: Okay? Does he make you swoon?
Speaker 1: No? No way?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, there it goes Juny and Steven. You
Speaker 2: had three names you wanted to read.
Speaker 3: Well, I've got a few. I'll tell you the first
Speaker 3: of all. Last year the British newspapers announced that they
Speaker 3: had cast the Bond, and of course it was way
Speaker 3: too premature. They went with an actor named Aaron Taylor Johnson. Now,
Speaker 3: if you google Aaron Taylor Johnson, he's recently was in
Speaker 3: a movie called Crave in the Hunter, he was in
Speaker 3: Bullet Train, He's in Nonsparato. He's kind of similar to
Speaker 3: Daniel Craig. He's relatively unknown to the American audience, but
Speaker 3: he he is a British actor. He kind of looks
Speaker 3: Bondie and he could be the next Daniel Craig. Now,
Speaker 3: we mentioned Sam Hugan, a gentleman mentioned from Autlander. We
Speaker 3: mentioned Henry Caveoll, we mentioned Tom Hardy. There's another actor
Speaker 3: from the Game of Thrones, which is his name's getting
Speaker 3: thrown around a lot, no pun intended. Richard Madden, who
Speaker 3: played Rob Starr. He has a charisma that could work.
Speaker 3: Another actor from the Game of Thrones is Nicholas Coster
Speaker 3: Waldo Waldo, who played Jamie Glanister, is interesting. Then you
Speaker 3: have Paul Muscal who just starred in Gladiator two. He's
Speaker 3: getting some attention. Somebody mentioned Sann Murphy, who is obviously
Speaker 3: from the Oppenheimer movie. I don't see him as Bond.
Speaker 3: Somebody mentioned Charlie Hunhum from Sons of Anarchy. Here's an
Speaker 3: interesting choice. Tom Hillston, who's forty four. He has been
Speaker 3: he has been on a spy series, I think it's
Speaker 3: called a Night Agent, and he's been very good in that,
Speaker 3: and he could be an interesting Bond. It's in terms
Speaker 3: of a character. And then this morning I said to myself,
Speaker 3: what about Chris Hemsworth. I mean Chris hems Yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean Chris Hemsworth has established himself as a big action
Speaker 3: star with the Thor movies. But it's not it's not
Speaker 3: impossible to think that Chris could be groomed to play Bond.
Speaker 2: That's probably one of the better suggestions I've heard.
Speaker 3: Very charmatic and fun. You know, I think the thing
Speaker 3: that I mentioned earlier, the control of the Bond series
Speaker 3: is no longer with Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson. They've
Speaker 3: handed it over to the Amazon creative team. So there
Speaker 3: the people who did Bond were very close to the
Speaker 3: best people, and they didn't like to work with big
Speaker 3: named directors. They usually went with directors who were not controlling.
Speaker 3: Now all the bets are off, it's not inconceivable that
Speaker 3: they can convince Quentin Tarantino to do a Bond or
Speaker 3: Steven Spielberg or Christopher Nolan. I mean, it's possible, and
Speaker 3: then they might go for a big star.
Speaker 2: I could see Quentin Tarantino. Uh looking through that when
Speaker 2: I high up it in the air director's camera, I
Speaker 2: can see that could be.
Speaker 4: Could be.
Speaker 2: Now, before I take my break, I'm going to give
Speaker 2: you a question before the break, you mentioned one of
Speaker 2: these films. Spider Man is such a strong character cinematically.
Speaker 2: They've given three of his villains from the comic book
Speaker 2: their own starring role in a feature film. You think
Speaker 2: of that while we do commercial break and Kathy and Somerville.
Speaker 2: You'll be our next person to suggest a James Bond.
Speaker 2: All this after these words of importance for you, time
Speaker 2: and temperatarrey eleven forty five seventy three degrees. This never
Speaker 2: happened to the other fella. You're on night Side with
Speaker 2: Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news Radio, Steven. We only
Speaker 2: have about eight to ten minutes of show to go
Speaker 2: and I have two people online. Is there anything else
Speaker 2: you wanted to say about this?
Speaker 3: I was just going to say that my hope is
Speaker 3: that Amazon does not dilute the Bond franchise by green
Speaker 3: lighting a lot of TV series. You know, I think
Speaker 3: of it as kind of a joke to do a
Speaker 3: moneypenny series or a Felix Lider's, Oh please don't. They
Speaker 3: can't do the Star Wars where they abandon the features
Speaker 3: and focused on television shows. They've gone to maintain strength
Speaker 3: of the feature films because we all want to go
Speaker 3: back to the movie houses for the right reason. So
Speaker 3: that's my great hope, and I did. I did mention
Speaker 3: that to the Amazon people in a letter to them.
Speaker 3: I hope they agree to it, but go ahead, Morgan,
Speaker 3: do you do your thing.
Speaker 2: I agree with that. Looking forward to a new movie.
Speaker 2: Every couple of years. It is the way it should be.
Speaker 2: Let me get the two people on Hold out of
Speaker 2: the way, and whatever time we have left will chit
Speaker 2: chat about that. Kathy and Somerville, You and next.
Speaker 4: I'm Morgan Heights, Steven, this is I guess he's Americans
Speaker 4: aren't really allowed, right.
Speaker 2: We prefer not.
Speaker 3: It would probably have sat a lot of people around
Speaker 3: the world. But what's your thoughts?
Speaker 4: This is going to be weird.
Speaker 1: But Tom Brady, I think he would be. He's got
Speaker 1: the height, he's got the right, he's got the age. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got the look. I think I think he'd do
Speaker 1: a good job.
Speaker 3: What about the action, It's the problem is you know
Speaker 3: the problem. The main problem is the fact that he's
Speaker 3: an American. Also, he's not an actor, and I think
Speaker 3: that as much as we love Tom, obviously he's a
Speaker 3: local hero for you guys, I think, and in.
Speaker 2: Your state he's a big time hero California because in California.
Speaker 3: Okay, well he's a guest.
Speaker 4: Listen.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is we can we can
Speaker 3: laugh and we can smile. But the basic actor we need,
Speaker 3: we need a strong actor to play James Bond. Just
Speaker 3: look at Daniel Craig the last fifteen years he has
Speaker 3: brought it and he is a classically trained actor and
Speaker 3: we need someone like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, just the thought, Thank you great, have a good night,
Speaker 1: you too.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Quincy and speak to John.
Speaker 4: Hello, John, good evening, lem and ladies and everybody else. Okay,
Speaker 4: are you still there?
Speaker 2: Do we lose John already?
Speaker 3: I don't think.
Speaker 2: All right, John, Callback, You'll have no problem getting through Callback.
Speaker 2: And I'm going to ask my guest, Stephen J. Rubin,
Speaker 2: give me your top three James Bond movies.
Speaker 3: The first two are at tie It's Cold Finger and
Speaker 3: Casino Royale, the two thousand and six introduction of Daniel Craig.
Speaker 3: And then third, I would have to say, is Thunderball
Speaker 3: Thunderball for me? Which was, by the way, it's celebrating
Speaker 3: its sixtieth anniversary this year. It's Thunderball and not Warhead, No,
Speaker 3: not never say Never again, but right next to Thunderball
Speaker 3: from Russia. Love and Doctor Noah right up there because
Speaker 3: they're also the favorites. The first four are.
Speaker 2: I'll do Oh my goodness, what's wrong with the phone system?
Speaker 2: Rob Steven get him back? Rob's gonna endeavor to get
Speaker 2: him back, and I'll tell everybody my favorite James Bond
Speaker 2: movie bar none, you only Live twice. Everything that makes
Speaker 2: a James Bond movie a James Bond movie is in
Speaker 2: there a huge bad guy lare inside the volcano, which
Speaker 2: I think is a very creative place to put your
Speaker 2: home base inside of a volcano. And as well, you
Speaker 2: need an international feeling of Japan, the United States, England,
Speaker 2: all that, all that folds into my favorite. I was
Speaker 2: telling people my favorite, you only Live twice, It's my
Speaker 2: number one favorite. And then I'd probably have to say Goldfinger,
Speaker 2: because that to me, not doctor No, not for much
Speaker 2: would love Goldfinger established the franchise in the eyes of
Speaker 2: the world, Oh absolutely. And then I probably would go Thunderball,
Speaker 2: because it too had all the elements of what makes
Speaker 2: a James Bond movie a James Bond movie. The action,
Speaker 2: the locales, pretty word women. You and I said that
Speaker 2: at the same time.
Speaker 3: And Claudino J's Domino is just one of my favorite
Speaker 3: actresses of all time, just just stunning in so many ways,
Speaker 3: and she was you know, the Bond movies. The reason
Speaker 3: we need Bond movies every couple of years is because
Speaker 3: it kind of restores our belief and why the movies
Speaker 3: are the movies. You know, I enjoy watching movies on television,
Speaker 3: but I still enjoy going to the theater.
Speaker 2: And I like the bad women to be bad women.
Speaker 2: And in Santa Berger, she was a bad woman, and
Speaker 2: I like her lying about oh, poor mister Barne, your ego.
Speaker 2: You know you you make love to a woman.
Speaker 3: That's not sent to Burger. That's done.
Speaker 2: That's oh, I blew that. I apologize, but I still
Speaker 2: meant that of her character, that actress. She was a
Speaker 2: bad woman and she yeah, she didn't get saved by Bond.
Speaker 2: She knew her place. Her place was to be a
Speaker 2: bad woman.
Speaker 3: And when she gets shot in the Little Kiss Kiss Cafe,
Speaker 3: Bond escorts her body over to a table and says,
Speaker 3: excuse me, my friend is just dead, just dead.
Speaker 2: Yep. And he knew when to move his fingers from
Speaker 2: her back, or else they would have shot him in
Speaker 2: one of his fingers while he danced with her.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, that's just a very beautiful. Terrence Young
Speaker 3: was a fine director, and I think he did He
Speaker 3: did some really good good work on Thunderball, as he
Speaker 3: did on Doctor Noan from Russia, loved it, you know, Morgan,
Speaker 3: this has been a lot of fun. Really, it's always
Speaker 3: fun for you and I to to just share all
Speaker 3: of our knowledge and love of this character because this
Speaker 3: is this is a part of cinema that just is
Speaker 3: always fresh to me.
Speaker 2: Now you do realize later on this summer I've got
Speaker 2: to bring you in for Twilight Zone. We messed up
Speaker 2: on that. No problem. That was then, this is now,
Speaker 2: But the next sum I have you on to talk
Speaker 2: twilight Zone. It deal. Promise me, promise, Thank you, Take care,
