    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.

    https://geektyrant.com/news/andor-creator-tony-gilroy-reveals-scrapped-his-james-bond-movie-pitch
    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.

    That's not for Bond 26, it's for the Ian Fleming biopic SPYMAKER 2, once again starring Jason Connery as the beloved author.

    Looking at what the competition on that date, it’s highly unlikely to be Bond because what’s already set for that date is STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER.

    I just worry that Berger would a repeat of Mendes and Fukunaga, .

    A repeat of two directors who gave us some of the most successful modern Bond films? It’d be a disaster ;)

    Most Bond films have been succesful, Fukunagi directed the third most successful film of the Daniel Craig Era if you're talking pure box office. And I reckon most people have No time to die fourth or fifth in their DC rankings.

    I wouldn't mind seeing somebody like Richard Curtis or Kosinski do a Bond film. If Michael Apted can direct a Bond, then the door is wide open.

    Most casual viewers wouldn’t rank their favourite Craig Bond films anyway and instead just go from how they felt about the Bond films. These films made money and gave Bond a good degree of critical praise. That can’t be ignored, and I know it annoys some of us here (to some extent myself included!)

    But all of this is absolutely irrelevant anyway. I think the new producers should go with the director they believe will deliver the best Bond film and is available to them.

    Casual viewers have favorites. Likely Casino Royale and Skyfall. Likewise most people like Superman 1 and 2 over Superman 4. I think most cinema-goers probably didn't walk out of NTTD liking the movie very much.

    @Daltonforyou

    "No Time to Die" received a positive reception from audiences, with an 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics also generally praised the film, giving it an 84% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Rotten Tomatoes also notes a 88% "Popcornmeter" score based on over 10,000 verified ratings. Some audience reviews on MovieTickets specifically highlight the film as a great ending to Daniel Craig's run as James Bond.
    No Time to Die (2021)"

    Anecdotally, I've mainly heard glowing reviews.

    This film gets pissed on by the Bond die-hards, which is their opinion.

    I just can't stand when they equate their opinion as facts.

    NTTD also made $200m more at the box office over the last two M:I films. Which is actually hilarious to me, considering a lot of the louder Craig detractors kept harping about how Tom Cruise was gonna show Eon how it’s done post-COVID, but then they actually make less than NTTD. Whoops!

    Nice, you get a medal. Don't forget to get some sunlight every now and then. And much of that is due to the fact that James Bond has built an incredible brand over the last 60 years? Theres a reason why Eon kept going back to the DB5 and going back to the iconography in their marketing every time. If No Time to Die was about a character named Joe Baxter it would've made considerably less money.

    Why go ad hominem? It’s aggressive and you’re not doing anything but frustrating yourself. Also;

    This is a strawman argument. And silly to boot.

    We get it, you disliked NTTD, or Craig, or whatever. But the film is now going on five years old, Craig hasn’t been Bond since then. Time to move on.

    Even if Star Wars or Marvel are no longer the juggernauts they once were, I can’t help but agree that it would be both unlikely and unwise for Bond to be dated there, otherwise both films will eat into one another’s gross and wind up underperforming.

    Honestly it would probably be best to just sit out 2027 altogether and claim a date in 2028.

    Honestly the closer we get to 2026 without a director, I could see Johnathon Nolan coming on to write a script, then Christopher coming in once he finishes the Odessey, and potentially getting the film released by November 2028 (Interstellar was released in November before).

    Hollywood Reporter just released an article on First Light, if there was any updates on the film side, they would have mentioned it. We keep talking about Amazon being extremely extremely risk averse, and I just think the longer time marches on, the more they will feel its just safer to wait for Nolan, who is seemingly about to have a second major awards success in a row and is in the ripe years of his career.

    I have my own fantasies of who could make an awesome Bond film, but why do some of you act like yours about to come true?

    Your point is literally, "We don't know anything, so this is is probably about to happen!"

    All James Bond movies would have made considerably less money if they didn’t star James Bond? What a novel argument.
