    I suppose you could conceivably have a Bond film where there's no tuxedos, casinos, martinis, or cars, and it'd still work. LALD is an example. It'll have to bring out 'Bond' in other ways though.

    Yes, I think LALD is a good example of being different in a good way. Contrary to what Richard Maibaum said about the movie. Hopefully, the wrong characters won't comeback like a certain character from LALD....

    I suppose Blade Runner 2049 has moments and characters in there that could conceivably be in a Bond film, so perhaps that's not a bad reference for what this might look like (albeit in a very generalised way, and of course it's very much dependent on what they do).

    You mean like Hinx? And Paloma?

    Sure. ;) Different characters obviously, but you've got villains and hench-women in that film who wouldn't look entirely out of place in Bond (obviously with story adjustments). K is even a sort of blunt instrument who questions his job. Just write that with Bond's humour and love of adventure, and that's really not miles away from a Fleming-esque take on Bond that could be great.

    I agree with @007HallY Blade Runner 2049 is the one I look to, when trying to imagine what Villeneuve's Bond would look and feel like. Although, with more action and a much lesser dystopian look. Also, for a very serious director, I can imagine Villeneuve's James Bond with gadgets.

    That film's growing on me on rewatches for sure. There's something quite Bondian about a lot of it (I quite like the fact that K's doing investigations/detective work too in that Noir-ish way, similar to how Bond would in, say, the earliest movies and Fleming. I'd love if we got a bit more of that in Bond 26).

    Maybe a TSWLM/DAF novel mashup?

    It's Amazon's first Bond film...so no matter what they do, it being their first Bond film, we're going to see plenty of the familiar, because they want to win EON's Bond fans over.
