The casting of Bond for TLD is complicated, and it's hard to know how serious the chances of some of the names mentioned actually were. That's an interesting idea about Cubby's views on Brosnan. It does seem to the case that Cubby had his eye of Dalton for some time. Dalton was screentested for OHMSS, and, as you suggest, Cubby seems to have thought of him for FYEO as well. I'd love to look through Eon's archives, instead of relying on newspaper stories and other secondary sources. We might then get somewhere with this casting business!<br /><br />Edward Edward Biddulphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958778222555710461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117416349695015821.post-35157013964920708952013-07-20T16:17:02.196+01:002013-07-20T16:17:02.196+01:00Edward,

The following links have some interesting tidbits regarding possible Bond Casting during the 80's.<br /><br />http://www.crawleyscastingcalls.com/index.php?option=com_movies&lettre=BOND&Itemid=67<br /><br />One thing that I read lately is that Dalton was all but signed for FYEO.<br />See paragraph 4 under his bio on this link<br /> http://jamesbond.wikia.com/wiki/Timothy_Dalton<br /><br />This jives w/ snippet of TLD press conference on the "Inside the Living Daylights" documentary where Cubby states that Dalton meet with him in LA before FYEO. <br /><br />I have a theory that Cubby never wanted Brosnan. He was pressured to take him for TLD and then studio put the screws to him and Babs to cast in GE. Glen states in his book that Cubby was not keen on PB to begin with for TLD.<br /><br />All my best.
