    To change the subject for a moment: @QuantumOrganization, has been awfully quiet. He promised an announcement for a two pic deal and, I think, the distributor, in late August/early September... it's getting very late in the day...

    Alright then, carry on...

    yeah is the announcement coming

    It would certainly be most welcome if we got an official statement this month?!!!

    Don't you feel we are some ways out from anything more from them? That's how I feel and I think that's why they gave us a release date only in their July announcement. There's far more work to be done behind the scenes imho.

    It certainly smacks of it, However? After the whole Sony leaks saga you can understand this approach also.

    That's certainly true. Misdirection is likely from other sources, but EON have been very quiet of late.

    Re: The Sony leaks, EoN should concern themselves less about leakages and focus more on the content actually being good.

    Keep an eye out for some light Bond news this week, as both Broccoli and Craig have films premiering in Toronto (today and the 13th respectively).

    I am very weary of these tech companies becoming involved in the franchise, I don't care for an expanded universe, it would bastardize the franchise.

    Who would be intrested in a mr wint and mr kidd film. Actually thinking on that- I want them to be in the next bond film

    If you're past the 10,000 posts in here, then you can ask for such....'stuff' :-P.

    I have been on the site for 11 years now, since 2006. I don't think post count has anything to do with it. ;)

    Ooowh yes. It's all about dedication my boy :-P.

    Mine's bigger than yours. I can throw farther and I drive faster cars than you do.

    From what I'm reading Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool may have Oscar potential for Annette Bening. That would be interesting, and could raise Broccoli's profile. Interestingly, the film is being distributed stateside by Sony, while Paramount has The Rhythm Section.

    I have written at least 4-5 Bond fan films which are regarded to be the best on the internet for Bond. My "Netflix" idea was kinda half serious half joking.

    What's the word again for when you're embarrassed for someone else?


    How many years have you been a professional actor and writer? I was a professional stage actor/writer for 12 years. Crowds of 5K plus. Embarrassed for me? Ha okay...

    It's why I don't post much. Too much personal attacking.

    Curious to see how the film will do, especially during awards season. So far, I've not read many positive reviews of the film as a whole.

    On one the hand, I am hoping it will be a complete flop, hich would make Barbara Broccoli 100% focus on Bond 25 in the next two years. On the other hand, I'm hoping it will be a complete success which would encourage BB to sell the franchise after Craig is finished.

    I'm in the middle of viewing the absolutely brilliant Le Carre Night Manager for the first time since its release one year ago. I'm completely engrossed and engaged with 3 episodes left to go. This show is tremendously atmospheric, gritty, boasts a superior hero, villain and female love interest, has suspense and intrigue, and has a wonderful score and locations. One actually experiences and feels the locations here, in that 'old school' Bond manner.

    I am now completely convinced that it is possible to make a compelling Bond 'universe' side series on the small screen. This show arguably inhabits the same espionage driven universe as Bond, although it focuses on a different character and more mature themes. Some of the supporting characters in this show (Olivia Colman's Angela Burr, David Harewood's CIA honcho Joel Steadman, Douglas Hodge's Rex Mayhew & Tobias Menzies' Geoffrey Dromgoole) are far more interesting than the cliched MI6 Scooby gang imho. Over the course of six episodes they are all suitably 'fleshed out' in a manner that could allow them (or folks like them) to appear sporadically in a hypothetical big screen Bond effort. While this show is perhaps not targeting entirely the same market, there is inevitable 'crossover'.

    Another point to consider is that they took Le Carre's novel and updated it for a more contemporary timeframe, while still doing the source material justice on the small screen.

    The bottom line is a broader universe can be done. It's all a question of execution.

    @TheWizardOfIce However, if in the (near) future EON decide that they have enough time, money and energy to make 'Double-0 Agents' spinoff in between the regular Bond films, because the Bond brand is 'under exploited', than it triggers an important question you can see coming a mile way: Why not simply go back to 2 years schedule for Bond films? No-one can tell me it's a better idea that EON should produce spinoffs in between the 4 year gaps between official Bond films instead of just making Bond films on a regular 2 year cycles if they are really keen on making more films.

    Bond, cinema and cinema production does not operate in those every two year cycles anymore. This is down to pure and simple physical and creative practicalities and an evolution and proliferation of other titles jostling for attention.

    Unless you're Star Wars and Marvel? Not sure how you can say that when most franchises are actually releasing films on a yearly basis, if not more than that in one year! There will be 12 Marvel films between 2017 and 2019. Between Spectre and Bond 25 there will have been 6 Star Wars films. Not sure your argument stands up.

    But for the record I understand why a 3-4 year cycle may be preferable for Bond given this kind of landscape.

    The Marvel movies are not made by the same team, producers, production companies and personnel each time. Personally, I am not wholly sure if - as you suggest - Marvel's 12 films in the next two years are a good thing. Too many of those films no longer operate as films anymore, but two hour trade show ads for the times to come. And the current TV fortunes of Marvel are not looking good.

    Possibly, but the picture could have just as easily been taken months ago.

    Craig's was similar to that of the Connery's. Mild-mannered, balanced and elegant.
