Is the “fix” in?

Word on the street is that Callum Turner is the next James Bond.

He’s tall, but not too tall. He can act, but not too much.

Director Denis Villeneuve can shape him up.

My take: Callum’s wife, Dua Lipa, sings the Bond theme song. Of course. If he’s Bond, why would they get another singer? Maybe Elton John can join her?

Isn’t Dua Lipa kind of the new Shirley Bassey? Kinda?

She fits the role, too. How about a cameo as well?

Jacob Elordi’s profile is that he’s too tall. Also he comes with Kardashian baggage. I can’t imagine the new producers of the film want all that attached to their project.

Hold on! Maybe it will be announced in tomorrow’s election results!

Remember, you only live twice!

Just picture it:
