  • Well, sort of. Bond villain monologues about their grand plans are a thing. And sometimes they’re quite convoluted/unclear if you’re not paying attention to that monologue (ie. You wouldn’t quite understand just going from visuals how Carver’s plan …

  • None of these are too bad, just not the best model work of the series. I’ll go for GF. Great film, but like all of Hamilton’s Bond films there’s sometimes a sloppy quality to some of the filmmaking (in this case bits of the model work) as if thin…

  • Well, in all likelihood a Bond 26 fan fiction script if true… Kidding of course, Nolan’s likely got better things to do!
  • At the end of the day none of us really know what’s going on with this film behind the doors of EoN. And none of us ever will. I really don’t know if it’ll be a 2026 or ‘27 release (maybe even later shock-horror), but we simply don’t have a clear…
  • They could always re-release an edition of TB and call it the NSNA novelisation. A bit childish/pointed, but would be amusing.
  • Part of me thinks it’d be quite funny if, when an official announcement comes along, it’ll just casually be dropped by EoN without any build up or fanfare. No ‘journalists’ claiming they have some scoop, no ‘inside sources’, no guesses by anyone on …
  • Yeah, OHiMSS felt a bit like a Gardner novel in many ways. It wasn't for me personally. I understand it's meant to be a very timely story (almost a novelty book in a sense) but I didn't quite feel Higson got Bond down quite right and it wasn't the m…

  • Yeah, can't see his response either, and damned if I'm going to get Twitter/X.
  • It's because apparently if you write NTTD three times in a single post a Daniel Craig appears and tries to steal your soul.

  • Agreed, I always got the sense Craig’s glibness (and to some even arrogance, if you can call it that) was translated through the character of Bond in his interpretation. Part of that may have been consciously in the writing but much of it is Craig c…

  • Yes, I don’t quite get it either. Like, surely if you dislike it it makes more sense calling it NTTD rather than Bond 25. By calling it the latter you’re basically admitting it’s still an official Bond film/that’s how you see it rather than somethin…
  • I mean, the initial impression I get is that if they wanted a more serious, brooding Bond, then Turner naturally might be a consideration amongst others. But they’ve never really approached casting Bond with that solely in mind, even with slightly d…
