I’m going to guess based on what Knight has said (‘the same but different’ etc) they’ll be taking some note of how EON made these films. But honestly, it’s impossible to say exactly where it’ll go for now, and it’s so early days I think Amazon are s…

I suppose I come at it like this: I have never heard as big a laugh come from others while watching any other James Bond film as the rack scene in TB (I always imagine poor Connery having to jerk his body while on that table for multiple takes. It's…

I'd agree. The later Hamilton films can be ridiculous, cynical, and a bit campy, but they seem to know that's what they are. Sometimes it feels like TB simply hasn't been made very well, or it's unaware of the silliness.

I suppose we have three options... 1) Blofeld's mad and has far too many resources available to him to enact his crazy plans. 2) Blofeld has found some sort of theoretical reason as to why just sending men out to plant the virus would be more …

My gut instinct (whatever that’s worth) says it won’t be him, although he’s a good actor and I’m sure he could hypothetically do something cool with the role.

I don’t think Villeneuve’s past casting record will matter with Bond specifically. He’s ultimately been hired as one of the many lead creatives, but he’s more the tenant than the landlord in this instance. It might impact the casting around Bond, an…

We’ll see at some point how true the Deadline article is I suppose. What makes me skeptical of it is the fact that the idea of a Bond prequel involving his navy days is such an obvious route it’s almost fan fiction at this point (similar to a Bond f…

I wouldn’t necessarily want everything mapped out in precise detail. Sometimes - especially with Bond, which are all one off adventures even with recurring story threads- it’s better to discover each creative opportunity as it comes and keep it fres…

It takes more talent and natural acting instinct than people realise. Not saying the actor has to be a future Oscar winner (although honestly, it's telling that one of these actors did win an Oscar, and at least three of the six Bonds have had very …

Yeah, unfortunately I agree. I’m sure he’d be a great potential later on, but mid 20s is a bit too young in most circumstances, and he’s quite youthful anyway. I don’t think Dalton, Moore, or Brosnan would have thrived in the role at that age either…

I guess OP is a story about greed and how someone pays for it. Bond certainly has a personal motive there, but Smythe is a pathetic, sick old man by this point, and the damage of his actions has long been done. Bond isn’t exactly going to kill him h…

I’ve said Fionn Whitehead could be a random, lesser known option, although I’m not sure he’ll be the one in practice. Random, other lesser known actor names - I dunno, Jake Dunn, Ben Radcliffe, and Archie Renaux. Not advocating for any of them bu…

It's maybe not conveyed in the best way, but I don't disagree. He has a point about this idea that Bond has a lot of untold stories behind him. Even if they run with a Bond in his late 20s/early 30s (and even then, the actor may well be more into th…
