  • I definitely think that's a choice the likes of Elordi and Dickinson will have to make. There's a good case to be made that the better path for both is to do their own thing. At the end of the day only one person will get this role, and it's potenti…
  • Ah yes, Jacob Elordi, that unknown British actor… Wouldn’t be my choice, but as I’ve always said it’s not stupid considering him. But honestly, I think this all just shows we’re very much in rumour mill mode with this film. World of Reel’s not ex…

  • Off topic, but if they're doing Robin one of the next Batman films, I can legit see Partidge doing that. I'm not even sure if Suter's a great film actor, let alone a good potential Bond ;) In that 'not quite right' category for me, but his voice …

  • That’s quite cool (maybe a bit sci fi but not necessarily completely beyond reality). Maybe just the villain showing an AI version of the dead 008 to Bond might do it. Perhaps a part of the AI death maze is to collect more information about Bond so …
  • mtm wrote: » That was great, really enjoyed that. I liked the flashes of Fleming in there, it really works and makes it feel more like Bond. I guess if I had to be critical I'd say it could do with more of a hook perhaps, in a Friends-style way, …

  • Obviously in light of recent news there's going to be speculation about what Bond 26 will look like story wise. No idea myself, but I was off work today and got a bit bored this afternoon. I like writing in my spare time so I gave myself the challen…
  • Yeah mate, losing a job is horrible (been there). But if it wasn't a great place to work anyway and you have some financial security there are worse positions to be in. All the best whatever way.
  • I don't disagree with the logic at all. But in practice we'll see what happens.

  • 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…
