    I think Amazon are in the same position EON found themselves, when making GoldenEye. They have to throw absolutely everything at Bond 26.

    Makes me wonder if we'll get a grand unveiling of the cast/director/writer at some sort of event when the time is right. It's hard to see Amazon passing up an opportunity for promotion, like you say everything is rising on this film.

    Yeah. It's looking that way. It's got to be massive. Bond 26 is a very important Bond film.

    They could release it as an hour long special on Prime, similar to the Harry Potter reunion from a few years back. I'm sure that would get higher viewing figures than 007: race around the world season 2.

    Yeah. I also wonder how they'll unveil Bond 7. I like Craig's speedboat style, though.

    Gilroy dropped some fascinating details about a Bond film he and Steven Soderbergh once pitched. It was an unconventional take that would’ve shaken-up the Bond franchise in a cool way.

    “We wanted to go back to the ’60s and do it in black and white and do Carnaby St. and do the whole thing. I thought it was a really swinging idea, like $30 million [budget], but he couldn’t get them to… they just wouldn’t give anybody control.”[

    A black-and-white Bond film set in the swinging ‘60s? Lean, stylish, and likely unlike anything we’ve seen in the franchise before. I could’ve gotten behind that! But, the idea never made it past the pitch stage, thanks to the franchise's notoriously tight creative grip, especially under the longtime stewardship of Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.

    Gilroy even had a villain ready to go, though he’s keeping that one locked in the MI6 vault for now. “I had a great villain,” he said, refusing to share more.

    This is interesting. I've been saying for many years that Soderbergh should direct a Bond movie. I'm honestly surprised his name doesn't come up in these threads more often, but I guess a lot of people missed HAYWIRE and (more recently) BLACK BAG, which are terrific.

    Bond 26 is going to be a huge movie, in your opinion does the likes of Berger, (Johnathon) Nolan or Wright have the ability to marshal a 250 million dollar production?

    I didn't think of it before. But I find Paul King to be the most interesting name on that list.

    If Edward Berger was to get the job, I'd love for him to reunite with James Friend, the British cinematographer he worked with on All Quiet on the Western Front.

    Amazon-MGM has recently claimed May 28th of 2027 as a release date for an unspecified film.

    That happens to be Ian Fleming's birthday.
