I think there’s actually a lot of ways you can interpret Leiter on film as ultimately he’ll always be Bond’s ‘man from the CIA’. For me I’d want them to reimagine the character. Personally I’d be up for seeing him with a mechanical hand and leg simi…

I don't think AI is inherently bad. Like most things it ultimately depends on how it's used and, importantly, how people use it. As said it's quite useful for things like translations, and as a tool it can assist with various things, technical or cr…

I could be wrong, but I assume even under Amazon it’s debatable how many of those 10,000 jobs were going to go to Americans on a Bond movie anyway (even with EON’s American roots the Bond films were predominantly British made, and even now the curre…

Mid or late 2028 isn’t an unrealistic option for this film, at least as of now. But I don’t think it’ll be a case of specifically coinciding with the Euros. Not sure what Prisoner of Azkaban has to do with this though.

I think they should always concentrate on one film at a time. As for the actor, I think it’s worth trying to find a long term one who can thrive in the role. I don’t see what a potential lame duck Bond would add. I also think a big part of Bond’s su…

I think that's a great way of putting it. NTTD's an interesting film in terms of the questions it asks (and answers in its own way) and it's also interesting when you think of it in terms of the books. If the literary Bond never knew about, much les…

I mean, for all the talk here of SF's 'plot contrivances' MR is a film which, when you think about it, makes very little sense at times! But it's got such spectacle and often these very heightened tonal shifts. I'm not sure if it always 'gets away w…

Controversial opinion, yes! I'm a big TSWLM fan and would say it's the better film. I do enjoy MR as well. They're quite different even if the basic story is very similar.

It's different, no doubt. I do think NTTD has its roots in Fleming and is actually surprisingly deferential in how it adapts many of those ideas. But like any Bond film it's adapting those threads to its own ends as a film. As hinted we as fans can …
