What you may need to know:
1. In a war-torn West African country, a young boy (Abraham Attah) is forced into the life of a child soldier when his father is killed by mercenaries.
2. Netflix’s first foray into original movies is written and directed by True Detective’s Cary Fukunaga.
3. Netflix also passed on Top Gear. Well played. On the other hand, they have financed FOUR Adam Sandler movies. So it’s a one-all draw.
4. Idris Elba and Tom Hardy are the current names attached to take over as Bond when Daniel Craig steps down.
5. Although we would be happy to see Elba playing DCI John Luther in perpetuity.
6. Broadsheet prognosis: My little Kony.
Release Date: October 16.

‘My little Kony’? Take a bow Mark, that’s EPIC.
Idris Elba: a little too “street” to play an African warlord…
Too soon?
I think Daniel Craig is an average bond, brought in when they tried to rip off the Bourne films and now stuck with his brutishness.
Tom Hardy would be a terrible replacement, Idris Elba would be a better choice but is a bit long in the tooth now.
My controversial pick would be Colin Farrell, have yo seen London Boulevard ? Looks great in a suit caring a gun with a silencer on it, and it good with the humour aspect that is sorely missing from Craig.

I think it’s high time we kickstarted Jim Davidsons career again and give him the Bond position, personally
I can’t stand Idris Elba.
No surprise there.
Really? I can’t stand James Bond, so I hope it doesn’t go to him.
won’t be Elba or Hardy, they’re too well known and therefore expensive. It’ll be a relatively minor actor.
Too well known? Elba is barely on the same level now as Craig was when he took over.

35 isn’t young these days surely?
Well, it’s not old :)
Looks like it was simply copied. A bit cheap in all fairness.
Idris could reunite me with the whole Bond genre
