    The tone of the film will ultimately depend on the type of story they tell. I can't see the movie getting any darker than some of the more recent films of the series but I also don't think we're getting any sort of throwback film either. If this was EON still involved in the making of the movie than I'm sure that it's more than plausible that they would look back to films like TLD and Goldeneye for ideas as to where to go next - but this is an entirely new group of filmmakers involved in the project now. I think that the end goal in their eyes might be to present an entirely new incarnation of Bond which isn't dependent upon the previous portrayals but could still stand alongside them as being valid adaptations of Fleming's character and his world. In that sense - if that Variety article about Knight being influenced by the early Fleming novels is accurate - then I'm most definitely intrigued.

    I can see a Villinueve bond involving a lot of lingering shots of talking softly in dark rooms with no score interrupted every ten minutes or so with action scenes which are distressing to watch. No thanks. Give us something lively and show Bond being the hero with a triumphant score and a quip at the end.


    Saying it needs to be lighthearted is just as useless as Craig saying that bond 24 will be back with more laughs. Both are accurate in describing what you want out of a film. If saying light-hearted is useless than saying a film is dark or gritty is just as useless which is silly logic.

    Goldeneye and The living Daylights both have a light-hearted tone. Part of that is the scripts, the rapport between the characters and actors, the score, the way it's shot, lighting etc.

    Again, When I say straightforward mission I mean Bond is assigned a mission at the beginning of the film and he completes that mission.

    No soap opera about going rogue, or visiting his long lost cousin who is secretly had an affair with his girlfriend etc.
