  • I'm a sucker for a French girl, but would still hope not to see her in a Bond film for several years yet!
  • The suits from Tom Ford are fantastic, but in hindsight, I can't help thinking they're just a bit too flashy and "over-tailored". Certainly from a literary point of view, Bond's position on clothing seems predominantly influenced by utility, comfort…
  • Love coming back to this thread after a couple of weeks. It can be quiet as anything and then a couple of people will spark off a big discussion that lasts four pages. As far as I can assess, we're discussing the what to expect in terms of the st…

  • Germanlady wrote: Ha @Germanlady, I was just about to link to those new pictures! I think his longer hair makes him younger and healthier. Just a slight cut for Bond 24, and a return to his natural colour and he should look top dog!

  • There are so many reasons as to why Craig could have pulled out. I'm not an expert in Hollywood convention, but from a Bond fan perspective - if it means he can spend more time on B24 preproduction, then I don't see what the issue is.
  • Just thinking about the possible Scandi aspect of it... I think a lot of people automatically equate this to a role for snow, skiing and mountains. It's true that its certainly a possibility, and perhaps desirable for many. However, we've seen a lot…
  • I'm wouldn't quite go as far as the Brosnan rule, but I would like a girl that he ends up with at the end. It shouldn't be that difficult to make it feasible, surely?
  • It's funny, those photos of DC show a length of hair I think really suited him in CR and QOS. All he needs now is a bit of tanning and a shave and he's ready to go! Soundofthesinners wrote: LeChiffre wrote: Female Bond villain? No thanks. N…

  • It would be quite un-PC, but a villain/henchman with a German or Russian accent would be fantastic.
  • Ah Helen, indeed one of the tabloids' favourites. I think, in fact, she is probably a fine actress - but nothing remotely special. And on a personal level, she does seem really nice. But I can't see her doing much more of a cameo than Richard Bra…
  • Right. Most of the above could go into the "The name's 24, Bond 24" thread. Any production news?
  • Sorry to drag up this old dinosaur, but I've had a possible idea for a theme. (Not so much a plot). What about playing on the dangers of mass movement of labour/illegal migration and the risk of human trafficking? If this was tied into an evil pl…
  • I've been going throught he last few pages, and whilst they're good stand-alone titles, they feel more suited to books than films, let alone a Bond film. They're all a bit too clever. What I loved about Fleming is that he could take a fairly comm…
  • Does anybody know whether Ireland is treated as "foreign" for intelligence purposes? Obviously, the Republic of Ireland is a separate sovereign state, but it may be grouped as UK & Ireland, and therefore under remit of MI5. Might just have an…
  • Wouldn't go down well. Relations not great at the moment.
  • The only reason I can think for Bond going to Ireland would be if he went to Belfast and saw somebody with a connection to M whilst being tortured during the Troubles. Maybe an ex-paramilitary loyalist? Someone from the Royal Irish Regt?
  • I think some people need to calm down. As is clear from SF, Moneypenny's strengths clearly lies in administrative work. However, that doesn't mean that a) she can't be in the field b) that she's necessarily going to be the gun toting "agent" some pe…
  • Didn't think I'd be saying this a few years ago, but can we have Bond in some casual clothes? The wax jacket and jeans suited him perfectly in the climax of Skyfall, but the rest of it was pretty much in suits. Thinking back, Casino Royale had a pre…
  • One other thing, I expect things to move pretty quickly from now on. I imagine Mendes will be "working weekends" on B24, and so can sit in on the casting discussions etc. etc. with the producers, Craig, and the scriptwriters. More announcements in O…
  • DarthDimi wrote: Wow, I'm so thrilled. Can't wait to see Mendes return to the realm of Bond. This'll be his second Bond in a row. Well, it's been a long time since we last saw that happen. ;-) 2015 then? Was kinda hoping to get the film by 2014…
  • I think you've done very well considering all the factors that you had to incorporate. The writing is fantastic, as is the loyalty to the Fleming-esque description. I'm not surprised you found it exhausting, it was tense to read! There's not anot…
  • When Sony/MGM reached their bankruptcy deal in the midst of QOS, I thought it was legally agreed that MGM would release a Bond film every 2 years from 2012 to keep up its revenue? I'd love to know what happened with that!

  • OK, @Shardlake, and others, it was stupid and I've removed the sentence in question. And you're right, probably a good idea to stay clear of stories clearly misconstrued and misrepresented by the media!
  • Poor Radcliffe. Huge stardom at a young age, develops into one of the most annoying people on the planet. Safe to say a Radcliffe appearance would make me want to go into hiding. [Inappropriate comment edited - JM7]
