Well, Casino Royale announced their title, director and rough release dates by February 2005. By August the production team and locations are pretty much in place/announced and by October we get Craig and finalised release dates. I reckon it'll be s…

For me, two excellent and somewhat different Bond films. If SF’s my second favourite Bond movie, then TSWLM’s my third favourite. It’s actually taken me a while to appreciate the latter as much as I do nowadays, but it’s become a favourite of mine. …

I don't think all this will make a huge difference to his chances, short of his agent or something planting this story. It may have the effect of raising his profile, landing him another job, and thus not being able to commit to Bond/an audition may…

Oddly enough the only Bond villain screen tests I can remember watching are of that scene from GF! Or at least an early version of it.

TND is one of my most rewatched Bond films. It's not the best Bond flick by any means, but it's one of the most fun for me. So TND it is.

I'd add the scene where Bond first meets Silva in SF. While obviously it's Silva who gets the big 'rat' speech, I think it's a scene which requires the actor playing Bond to convey a lot of stuff very subtly/show a sense of Bond's vulnerability whil…

Yeah, the FRWL is a big one they do. I think they do fight scenes as well (the one James Brolin did in OP is an original one but seems not unlike the hotel fight from OHMSS). Then maybe one from the film they're doing. Would be interesting to know j…

Yeah, EON don’t tend to respond to rumours. I mean, inevitably they’ll simply be proven untrue over time anyway, and it keeps people talking about Bond. Honestly, I’d be shocked if ATJ was announced as 007 on Friday…. but if they announced him in…

Short of something that none of us know about the guy, there’s no reason why ATJ couldn’t be the next Bond. But he will have to audition, and he’ll ultimately have to be chosen. There’ll have to be an official statement by EON. And, most likely, the…
-
I dunno why, but the part I found funniest was that EON were ‘waiting to hear back’ from ATJ. Like he’s gone on holiday and is purposely ignoring his work calls or something. Presumably won’t be in touch before Friday either and the story/that gun b…

To be fair they kind of adapted the cane gun already in TWINE. I can see why they went with the poisoned martini. I used to think of it like the sinking house - that’s to say I found it a bit overblown in the past. But for a film, something like tha…

Yeah, it seems the biggest changes would have been to SF. Perhaps not fundamentally though. I mean, I get the sense M was written as a new incarnation of the character anyway for the Craig era, so no matter who the actress (if they went with another…

I think Bond has to recognisably take place in the world we know. It’s a part of what keeps the series modern. That’s not to say Bond isn’t escapist or that he has to fight specific enemies (on the contrary, often the films have avoided being too…
-
Agreed, if they want him they’ll try to get him. But he ultimately has to be convinced. I would say it’s a bit more nuanced with Craig and Dalton. I get the feeling they were more conflicted about it than not interested. It makes sense that those pa…
