  • My instinct is they won't approach the next Bond/their choice of actor by simply deciding they need to be 'lighter' than Craig's. There'll be more subtle things they'll introduce to differentiate the next Bond, and like Broccoli herself said the emo…

  • No idea. My gut instinct is if he’s in ‘the know’ it’s not to an in depth extent. May have just been being flippant and wanting to distance himself from the question. I mean, he’s likely not a contender so he’s got nothing to lose by saying this.

  • I'm not sure if we'll necessarily get something more kinetic or even overly humorous from Wright if he were to direct to be completely honest. The Bond films can never be anyone's 'baby' in the sense that so many different people work on them. Tradi…

  • Neither Mendes nor Fukunaga are ‘arthouse’ directors though. Both have not only worked in drama but other genres too (ie. war films, gangster etc). If anything both also broadly fit the criteria of being able to handle drama while also having a good…
  • I personally don't like text revisions when it comes to these sorts of things (at least outside of what was intended by the author during their lifetimes. Not actually 100% sure what they mean by 'following Ian's lead' when making these changes). I'…
  • A part of me likes the idea that a Bond film can be epic in terms of story, scope and even length. I think we’ll see Bond films continue to be around 2.5 hours. That said I think it really depends on the story.
