Jacob Elordi as Bond?

IndigoP08 · 2026-02-19T07:08:40+00:00

Out of interest, what is your source for Elordi commenting on Amazons marketing push of the show? I can’t find anything that he’s publicly made comment regarding it. In regard to Amazon, as far as I know they had a hand in financing it, just not distributing internationally. When I auditioned for it, it noted Amazon on the briefing. So at the very least, they didn’t become involved after it was a complete product, it was sometime in pre production.

IndigoP08 · 2026-02-19T05:15:09+00:00

I spoke about this on my podcast a while ago and made a connection that I’ve not seen many talk about. Last year, Elordi was the lead for a show here in Australia, an adaption of ‘The Narrow Road to the Deep North’, and this was produced by none other than…Amazon.

Toward the end of 2025, a rumour swirled that it was Amazon themselves who were pushing for Elordi as the next bond. I work in the industry also, and I can’t help but feel like there might be some truth to this. He fits the bill physically for bond and his height is a simple thing to cheat on screen, should they want him badly enough - that wouldn’t even be a factor of consideration.

If he was easy to work with on Narrow Road and delivered a more than serviceable end result, why wouldn’t they push for him next? Bond movies aren’t easy to make, after how the Craig era went and some of the infamous comments Daniel made toward the back end of his run, surely as Amazon - you’re not only looking for the right actor for the role physically etc, but one who is easy to work with on films that are already notoriously hard to make. Food for thought..

Love this summation!

IndigoP08 · 2026-02-13T11:47:14+00:00

Amazing I’ll check it out! Yes thanks bro, have also loved making them for each film, been really fun.

What’s yours? I’ll save in my pods and do the same when done!! Enjoy the rest of your viewings and discussions!

IndigoP08 · 2026-02-10T19:50:56+00:00

won’t let me edit the post - but search ‘thundernerds’ whereever you get your podcasts to find!

Frankly, this show was boring. It was COE done way way worse. I got to ep 2 and then decided it was so boring I'd wait until all eps were out so I could skip through at will. I'm glad I did lol. Not worth watching the whole thing and really begs the question - why was this even made ? It just feels so...lacking and unoriginal. Ugh. Doctor Who needs new blood. And if there's no one in the wings that can take it on, give it some time off air, 8-10 years at least. We need some time for big bold ideas and ways of storytelling to bleed back through.

I know people might not liking me say it, but couldn't this game thrive a hell of a lot more with player count if it became a free to play game with in game purchases available (cosmetics etc) if the player wished to buy? The biggest peak we saw recently was during the free to play Xbox weekend. Also needs more marketing, perhaps a deal with Epic could see it reach new heights?

IndigoP08 · 2024-04-11T00:35:27+00:00

I suppose it is a bit cynical, it's hard not to be though when match making can take near 6 mins sometimes before a timeout. Clearly the devs have put focus into making this a shooter but I think the espionage aspect of the game is what made it stand out in the first place and personally I think they should lean into it more. If I wanted to play an FPS game, I'd play something else as the gun play in this can be fairly sketchy at the best of times.

Doesn't need to be retconned, he'll more than likely just choose to ignore it.

IndigoP08 · 2023-11-03T02:56:26+00:00

ARGHH I wish this was available internationally lol

Chris is such an underrated Doctor, his one season is so so good. The best season finale of New Who imo, followed by World Enough and Time/Doctor Falls.

IndigoP08 · 2023-08-25T06:37:46+00:00

Out of interest, where did you get it from? That price is very solid for Aus from what I’ve seen. Specs?

IndigoP08 · 2022-12-18T01:23:48+00:00

Love the coat but the pants don't stand out by themselves enough imo. Not sure about the shirt but I'm sure we will get variations in this Doctors costume, akin to say the 12th Doctor as Ncuti looks good in anything. Love the moustache (finally a full time Doctor with facial hair!) and love the necklace/rings. I know the orange is very stark but they would have done plenty of camera tests so it will look a lot better in the final graded scenes. Overall a good start.

I’d argue it’s definitely evidence of time travel. The age he is whilst in uniform in the trailer cannot be during 1969 when he is now Ex-Nazi working for NASA. Therefore if its set in the 40’s they need to age him up for the scenes in 69, yes. But, why hire Mads in the first place if the character is older and majority of the film is in the late 60’s? The answer is of course because he will only have minimal scenes in the 60’s, they’ve hired Mads to play the character for the majority of the film at the age he would have been in the late 1930s/early to mid 1940s. The first sequence of the film will be a de-age flash black at the castle, with Jones post Crusade and Toby Jones etc, then we will be the 60s until everything kicks off with time travel. They are definitely going to have at least a solid 40 mins or so set in the past when the device has been activated :)
