Nice nod to Fleming in TLD, Saunders referring to Bond as old man and Bond taking a dislike to him. Similar to Fleming's 6th rule.
'Live Until You're Dead' would almost make a good Bond title, if it didn't sound slightly obvious and trite.
It would make a great tag line for a Bond film
"in Ian Fleming's DEATH IS THE END OF LIFE"
"in Ian Fleming's FIRST YOU LIVE, THEN YOU DIE"
"In Ian Fleming's LIVING AND THE DEAD"
"In Ian Fleming's DEAD OF THE LIVING"

"In John Gardner's DEADLIFE"
It’s him just rephrasing the ‘I shall use my time’ saying he liked basically, although it is a bit trite and open to misinterpretation, yes. He didn’t actually intend it as a title so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
I said the WGA vote would be 98%…
None of this is good, but some media companies wouldn’t mind a strike, as the article states, so it can kill deals and save $$$. So you have some bad agents involved and it’s clear nothing will be resolved.
I’m praying for a Hail Mary.
The project I’m on (I’ve adapted the novel The Therapist by BA Paris (fun psychological drama-thriller)), is in danger of starting later than anticipated— and that’s the best case at the moment…

Is your.. how you say... funding secured for all eventualities? Or do you get screwed.
It's a comment. Not a worry.
@LucknFate … thanks for asking… The producer is a warrior and she’s working round the clock because her goal is to get in front of cameras in late summer/early Fall… This now may be a tough ask as everything is grinding to a halt.
If we are delayed, the can gets kicked down the road and once the dust settles on a strike, every project like ours will be fighting for not just the talent in front of the camera, but ALL the talent behind it (think lighting, make up, wardrobe, DPs…), the locations and studios spaces to be rented… it’s a mess that will be felt for a while, as I told our dear Red Snow…
Would the delay affect our financing? That is a very real possibility on all projects that don’t include those big, huge IPs (and even then, some of them may get lost in all of this). It’s not a happy time and truth be told every morning I wake up with a groan…
Best of luck @peter my friend. I know personally that media business can tough to work in but it’s almost always worth it in the end. There’s always lessons to be learned. Good luck, we’re all proud of you.
I have a couple of projects in early stages— chatting with a producer and a director about doing them, and I’m always writing some kind of spec. But since last November, The Therapist has been my primary focus and is the furthest along.
@MaxCasino — thank you!! You’re very nice and I appreciate the kind words!!
Thanks @mtm!! And you're correct, coming out of covid, there were many delays and bottlenecks... and this is why this feels like a real kicker: just as the industry is climbing out of post-covid, it gets hit with this potential strike.
The proof is in the pudding. Let ChatGPT speak for me.
Where does Bond go after Craig?
After Daniel Craig's tenure as James Bond, the future of the Bond franchise is uncertain. The production company, EON Productions, has not yet announced who will be the next actor to play the iconic spy.
There has been much speculation and discussion about who might take over the role, with actors such as Tom Hardy, Idris Elba, and Richard Madden among the rumored contenders. However, nothing has been confirmed at this time.
It's also unclear what direction the Bond franchise will take after Craig. The most recent films have been more character-driven and grounded in reality than some of the earlier entries in the series. It's possible that the next Bond films will continue down this path, or they could return to the more over-the-top action and gadgets that characterized earlier entries in the series.
Regardless of what direction the franchise takes, it's likely that the Bond films will continue to be a popular and enduring part of the cultural landscape for many years to come.
Thanks, ChatGPT, you've done it again!
I wish we could copyright our posts and then make money off them when things like ChatGPT use them.
I think it looks too lightweight for that, though obviously I don’t know. Bodyguard I personally thought was stupid, but it was successful enough critically and commercially to get people talking about Madden being Bond, so I’m sure he’s already on Eon’s radar.
Moving away from talking about Madden, I think the Ezra Miller and Jonathan Majors scandals will mean Eon will put greater scrutiny into their candidates’ private behaviour, and that may mean that their choice will be shaped by things we’re unaware of and that don’t have to do with the qualities the performer has on-screen.
Same with DC’s wrist cutting comments. I hope even Barbara told him that was wrong.
