    If the movie shows us the days in the Navy, it's already personal in some way.

    That’s not personal, that’s his career.

    It would be biographical. How can that not be personal?

    Going off these last few pages it's quite clear that some people are hyping themselves up thinking we're going to be getting "The Craig era 2.0" - forgetting the fact that ALL the major players of the Craig era are now no longer associated with the series. BB and MGW are out - so are Purvis and Wade - and so is Craig himself. For better or worse these were the people responsible for the creative decisions made from 2006 - 2021. They have absolutely ZERO involvement with the new film - so why are we dismissing the new creatives and the new film when we know absolutely nothing about what kind of direction they wish to take? It's as if some people are purposefully hyping themselves up so that if heaven forbid the film actually isn't good they can sit there and feel validated.

    I'm not concerned with the production of Bond 26 - simply put I think Amazon put together a great team in place for now. I'd be much more worried about the long term health of the franchise under Amazon weather or not in 10-15 years time the property goes the way of Marvel and Star Wars and ends up being devalued because of too many spin-offs or unnecessary world building. I'm worried that Amazon will learn all the wrong lessons from Bond 26's success and will start pumping out films with the least amount of effort and creativity just to make a quick buck. The challenge isn't if Amazon are capable of making a good James Bond movie - it's can they maintain the series and if so for how long?

    Call me crazy, but I don't think they hired Villeneuve to make Brosnan 2.0.

    Should they? I would say yes to something like that.

    I suppose the flip side to this is you simply can’t have any Bond era 2.0. Even a Force Awakens type Bond adventure wouldn’t be the same as the instalments it’s paying homage to.

    This is such a stupid conversation. They are not thinking at all about what's come before. Expecting something identifiably tied to a past actor is just not going to be fruitful. You should not want Brosnan 2.0, each tenure brings its own drama. That's the formula, reinvention, please don't drag me down with your childish nostalgia. I want to see this generation create their own Bond, that's the whole point of the survival of the franchise.
