Oh, please no! Not another anti-Trump film.
Would you be happy with it? I know you like Risico which I also think would be a great title (given a different context than the short story of course).
Shatterhand is at the top of my list, I also like Blood and Thunder and World Without Want. I want to see Blofeld back and his arc wrapped up better.
I'm tired of clicking the spoiler link just to read these posts.
There really aren't any spoilers thus far as the film isn't even in production. It's all speculation. Unless multiple members here have read the script and know the film's plot.
Bond can have political tone and references, and actually often has. But not to make a full parody or strong statement about any current situation is probably best in my opinion, unless something like climate change.
Cary is sharp. I know he has not tackled a Bond film before, but he has guidance from more than one source for that. I trust his instincts as a filmmaker and storyteller. I think it would be a mistake to be overtly sharply political, in obvious ways referencing current political situations, but if woven into the story as background or at least subtly enough, then that's fine. Political thrillers, spy thrillers, and Bond adventures take place because of ... politics.
yes but you assume they will never use another title of Fleming
Absolutely correct. It's bordering on the ridiculous. It's all supposition.
Or a Terminator could be dispatched... ;)
Why not? Back to the Future II was great.
I don't think that there's a need to speculate about what Boyle would have done if he had stayed as a director. He wasn't fired about politics but about casting and narrative choices. The script hadn't reached the phase where it developed some kind of comment. So, it's an hypothetical about another hypothetical.
True still makes me wonder what idea EON was wowed back then
March/April 2018 an insider claimed
If Hodge got the full rights on the outline, he may speak about it at some point... or he could prefer to repurpose the material for an original script with different characters (at the risk of being sued by Eon, if it's about spies). If it's Eon, they may keep an eye on the idea, if it's really good, and give it to other writers to develop it... or it could be that it was tailor-made as the final story in Craig's arc and wouldn't suit a different Bond. We'd then get the details in five, ten or 15 years, when a new book about the production of the franchise is published and Eon assumes there isn't any commercial value anymore to it.
Remember that Peter Hunt refused to share too many details about the deleted (and partly not filmed) scene from OHMSS, where Bond chases Bray's assistant, because he assumed that some of it could still be used in another film (and it apparently was, in Skyfall).
But we don’t know for sure?
