I suppose another element of this rumour is the feasibility of adapting the remaining Fleming novels. I suppose MR could work in a period setting, but it’s a story in which specific elements have already been adapted in the films anyway. It’s debata…

I wouldn’t say that necessarily. They get made because of Nolan’s name, and in certain spheres publicity is attached to him. But there are a surprising number of viewers who didn’t know he directed Oppenheimer when they saw it. A lot of people just …

It’s a risk certainly. Even with the nostalgia boom in modern films/tv it’s not really for the 50s or even 60s. To most casual viewers Bond is simply modern too, fixed but ever changing with the times. And there’s budgetary issues with period pieces…

Nah, I reckon Fukanaga’s out too. He’s got good instincts as a director, but at the end of the day he’s a liability, and I don’t think he’s even necessarily the best person for the job. I dunno, it might not be a bad thing going for someone less …

I think for a majority of choices it won’t matter what the setting is. Personally I don’t feel Aidan Turner would be interesting as Bond in either a modern film or a 50s set one. The only differences are him smoking, having a slightly different hair…

I suppose there’s something to that statement. He is, whatever some people’s opinions on his work, a director with some high profile films and within the industry a lot of clout. It goes both ways though - a director like him could make demands/c…

It’s an odd one. I do get that the original user posting it on a public forum opened up a whole can of worms by doing so, even if neither they nor we knew if it was 100% true. Obviously it’s a case where other outlets have used this info for their o…

It’s a question that doesn’t quite have the same symmetry to it as others have had in this topic. The director and lead villain are different things, and if you get the right candidates you can have a female villain in a Bond film directed by a fema…

I suppose this could well be a rumour based on fact if that makes sense. Remember, Bond films are a long and collaborative process and many ideas are spitballed during the outline stage. Just look at the number of strange ideas that didn’t make it i…

I mean, simply going from audience preference alone, is there that much desire to see a 50s era Bond film? I know nostalgia is all the range nowadays, but generally speaking it tends to be nostalgia for the 80s, at least amongst younger audiences. E…
