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 …

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…

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.

Probably very controversial, but I was just thinking about it after posting in the questions thread about TB (and going from my impression the last time I watched the film). TB is the closest a Bond film gets to being 'so bad it's good'. Not all …

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…
