    My single biggest worry for Bond 26 and beyond is that they’re going to play things extremely safe. I’m expecting a “Force Awakens” type of movie next, to be honest, which would please most people but leave me whelmed at best.

    My gut instinct is we'll get something more interesting than Force Awakens for what it's worth. I can certainly see it being a stylish, but somewhat underbaked film though.

    As I've said in the past I hope they go into this with the intention of making the best Bond film they can, if not the best James Bond film ever, regardless of what we get. Playing it too safe will satisfy no one fully. I think they can afford to take risks - not to the extent it's unrecognisable as a James Bond film, and ultimately this film will be starting a new era in terms of story so we'll certainly be defaulting to some of the more recognisable Bond tropes. But I hope they don't feel the need to make Bond or the story less interesting than they could be.

    I already feel like there's been too long a break without Bond. But, I also know how important this next film has to be in order to show what they can do with Bond without Eon being in control. Several of the names for possible directors sound great. I just want it all to come together!

    I agree. There are far more of less headier names than the likes of Nolan (either brother), Curón, Berger or Villeneuve from which Amazon MGM could pick to direct Bond 26. And yet every rumor of who will direct tells the same story: The relaunch of James Bond will be one of the most ambitious blockbusters this decade.

    This message even extends to the choice of producers in Pascal and Heyman. As far as who’s writing, if the filmmaker's feel so inclined, maybe see whether or not Tony Gilroy is available. Or Alex Garland.
