    Three are three Bond 25 related documents I would love to read right now: the script by Hodge, the latest version of the Fukunaga script and EON’s no deal Brexit contingency plan. I am really hoping that after everything that happened so far, a potential no deal Brexit would not cause serious trouble for EON.

    Fleming Title (2020), starring Daniel Craig. ;)

    Ah, yes the new James Bond blockbuster.

    ^It's not

    Shhhh

    Most likely title: "BREXIT NEVER DIES." And it will feature a brilliant plot twist: Theresa May is really Ernst Stavro Blofeld. And Boris Johnson will be his/her henchman.


    Kidding.

    Unless...
    they mean by 'successor' the person who has been given the 007 number after Bond regards from the service?

    As there's been mention of a female M16 agent in the casting reports, I reckon this could be a distinct possibility...
    I can't remember exactly -- this is going back a long ways -- but wasn't that an unused plot idea from Die Another Day at some point in its development process?

    I always loved it, and thought it a shame it didn't stick in the final script if it were true. If I'm remembering the broad strokes of the theory, it's that when Gala Brand was still the character (not Miranda Frost), she was also 007 -- given the number in his absence while he was imprisoned in North Korea. So the idea of the film was that he was written off by the service not just metaphorically but also much more literally, and had to essentially earn the number back from her.

    Could be wrong. I've no idea. But I always thought it was a neat concept.
    Which I assumed would of been an element of Bond 25 back in 2016 it would be a great way to kill the code name theory once and for all as well as include one of the few Fleming character that have not been included in the films.


    Still hate the title The Mater Spy but I got used to Skyfall and I suppose I will get use to this

    Bond having to face
    his replacement and a woman to boot would create some great tension, with the possibility of some fantastic exchanges between them
    ..the more I think about, the more I want it to happen!

    There are many ways that would work. The graphic novels currently ongoing and in production have demonstrated that without weighing on the cheese. The era of Jason Bourne and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight has overstayed their welcome at this point, films and any sort of fiction mediums have become lighter over the years and the post-9/11 crusts are already blown over and away with the wind of time.

    A second coming of the Brosnan era, whether with better quality of the same rate of value (depending on how Eon handles it) is imminent. I’d love it. I’d welcome it.

    +1

    Absolutely. That can be worked with watching the pattern of the Bond portrayals where after a lighter, humoristic Bond came a dark and emotional Bond and vice-versa (Dalton after Moore, Brosnan after Dalton, Craig after Brosnan).
    Precisely!

    Craig looks old, older than Moore in Octopussy f.e. I'm glad this is his last. It's time for someone new, someone fresh and someone with a sense of fun.

    Personally I hope Bond 25 will be called The Property of a Lady... We'll see...

    Ummm.... Craig looks the exact same as he always has except his hair is graying. Moore looked like a grandfather.

    Gotta agree. Moore was looking great in his late 50s but still looked kind of old for Bond.

    James Bond of the Secret Service
    or
    Warhead 2020

    especially now that Eon owns the titles

    just to make a few people here go completely mad.

    Connery looked great in his 50s. So did Moore in my opinion, until that thing, whatever it is, that happened to him between OP and AVTAK. Dalton was still looking Bond in his 50s (minus the beard).

    inf01.jpg

    Pierce was still Bond looking in his 50s. Craig is looking better than ever. With perhaps the exception of Lazenby, who seems to have aged rapidly (but is looking very well today considering his age), I'd say we should consider ourselves lucky with our Bonds and their well-preserved looks.

    Daniel is my favourite Bond, and I'd be happy to look like him at that age, but I do feel he's looking a tiny bit . . . craggy. Depending on the direction the films/character is to take, I'd say he's had a hell of an innings and 25 should be his last.

    I have to agree with this. In all the recent photos of Craig, his age is becoming very noticeable. I was hoping that Bond#25 would have been a clean break.

    Moore fans can be very deluded.

    Roger looked ridiculous in his last 2 he did, the stuntmen were on the screen longer than him.

    Craig has one more in him. I think at this point even he knows it
  • Posts: 16,182
    Craig looks a bit older, though I wouldn't compare his look with Roger's. They're completely different. Roger always maintained a classy dapper elegance. Craig goes more for the gritty.
    Craig is pushing Connery's NSNA age. In fact it probably would have been more appropriate to have done SKYFALL now.

    I think he's too old by now. What if the role would actually put him in danger? I'm not ready to see Hopkins go.

    He looks bloody brilliant! Way to go, Craig! Compare that to the ones from months ago. He got in shape and kept going. Now, for our first filming photographs please. Whats that? Too soon? No problem, by now I've got a degree on Waiting probated by EON productions.

    They are, but like the ones ToTheRight posted,
    they were either the working titles for the script Fleming later developed as Thunderball, or they were titles that Kevin McClory envisioned for the scripts he was developing on his own (based on his right to the story and the characters of Thunderball)
    Actually, the truth is that Ian Fleming probably spent more time working on some material that was called at the time "Longitude 78 West" than writing "007 in New York", "The Property of a Lady" and "The Hildenbrand Rarity" combined, which makes of Longitude... a more Flemingian title than most of what's left in the short stories.

    I wouldn't be shocked if Fleming had a notebook in which he would write down every good title he could come up with, regardless of having a story ready for it. But I doubt he would waste too many great titles for his short stories. Some of them were just intended to be perfunctory, they would appear in a magazine or in a collection of short stories once, to be forgotten just after that. I don't see the point of transforming them into the title of a major film that will be a worldwide event just because Fleming thought of them.

    Hi, for anyone talking about this Jose "Henchman" character on B25, he's now been officially taken off of the production page of IMDbPro (another fraud whose agent, or himself, was using the site to pad his credits).
