The Grey NATO – 286 - How We'd Cast The Next James Bond Film
Building upon a random idea from a recent episode, this installment of The Grey NATO features Jason and James casting for the yet-announced upcoming James Bond film. Each of the TGN boys has their own Bond film to design, from actors to music, cars, and gadgets; it’s a fun thought exercise to help bridge the gap to the next entry into the Bond franchise.
From the get-go, Jason has found a new pocket watch and James is enjoying a cheap strap from Amazon. Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you packing a new camera bag and checking out some vintage rally action on YouTube.

“He who fears death will never do anything worthy of a man who is alive.” – Seneca.
I just want to put my vote in for Wes Chatham as the Henchman. Anyone who has watched The Expanse will know how well he could pull that off. If not a Henchman, he would also be an amazing Double-O alongside Bond. Anyone who wants confirmation of that, google him in the role of Amos, and look up his line in The Expanse where he says "...I am that guy."
I hoped back then that Tom Hardy would get the role. Too late for that now. Fun choice and pure opposite to Tom would be Eddie Redmayne. Also we need a good old Eastern European villain and the Cold War again. Feđa Štukan (Feda Stukan) from Bosnia would be great for the roll. Otherwise Matthew Goode and Matthew Rhys. Watch: happy with Omega / CWC (for the Cold War era). Maybe Bremont or Vertex for the modern Bond.
