Well, they do say third time's a charm, 'though being a witch, baby, everything's a charm.
But I'm here with something to show, this time. I know - crack open the fireworks, un-seal the gin-sausage, exhume the chariot of good-times because now, the meeting of at least three of my special talents create something so marvellous that even some famously spiteful critic - whose name escapes me - might buy a ticket! Yes, it's really shaping up to be that good.
Yes, yes, I know, I'm only about half-way through the first draft of the screenplay and, yes, I know that the second draft might not have the Archbishop kicking somebody black and blue - I don't know, maybe he won't have had a new pair of bovver boots or something - but that doesn't matter. What matters is the idea's sound, and I've got the chops to make the sound a symphony.
You see, what it's all about is doing good, empowering people to do great works, making a world were everyone's a winner. And that, in essence, is what I'm all about - and thus this, in essence, is my introduction. If you want to join me on my mission, I welcome all-comers, so let's party, darlings x

What a reintroduction, Agatha Hergest! Congratulations on getting about half-way through the first draft of your screenplay! What genre(s) is it?

I think it can loosely be pegged as an action screenplay. It's not exactly James Bond but, with a comedy Bond villain in charge of the next film, I'm not sure James Bond is, either x

I'm an Action fan (and writer), Agatha Hergest. And I'm a 007 fan. Who do you think should be the next James Bond?

Well, darling, the only actor I know who could do the job, has the presence and the fighting skill is Idris Elba. I quite like Adrian Lester and Marc Warren as actors, too, but I don't know whether they have been approached, or even if they are suitable. I did see somewhere that there's a possibility that they'd be bringing Pierce Brosnan back for one last bite of the Bond cherry, because that would establish Bezos' post Craig-era tenure, but he's in his 70s now so I don't think that'll happen. Although if we're talking oldies, I loved Tim Dalton's iteration - pity it was hampered by all that legal wrangling between MGM and UA x

I can see Idris Elba, Adrian Lester, and Marc Warren playing the next James Bond, Agatha Hergest. It might not happen, but I think they should go with a really talented unknown actor as the next Bond. I wouldn't mind Pierce Brosnan coming back one last time.

The problem with unknown actors - even really talented unknown actors - is that you can end up with a George Lazenby situation. He had to be elevated by the supporting cast and, whiles it is sometimes useful to have tension amongst cast members - John Borman used the distaste of Helen Mirren with Nicol Williamson to great effect on Excalibur - I think a harmonious set is much more productive. I think all the drama should be in the dailies. Besides, people like known quantities, and besides, they will more readily watch actors they like, especially at the start of a new era. Then, there's the age of the character. Tim Dalton turned down Bond in the 1960s because he said he thought himself too young for the part and, although it's easier for a younger actor to play an older person than vice-versa, nonetheless, Bond is typically portrayed in his mid thirties/forties. I doubt many really talented actors would be that unknown for that long - although obviously, there are exceptions. That said, many of the actors I admire I've only really seen in one or two projects, so maybe you have a point x

Here's the video I was talking about with Brosnan returning as Bond (hope this works, lest I look a complete bandanbladderstiddle):

Tom Hardy would be amazing as well Maurice Vaughan for JB. Hopefully Amazon
doesn´t mess it up.
