The issue with a new version of Blofeld is you have to re-contextualise him and Bond's antagonism. Short of a remake of OHMSS you lose the Tracy/revenge aspect, and in a sense it's this which makes the Blofeld of the novels/early films Bond's ultima…

Who knows. Like I said I suspect it's a case where they're putting things in place for pre-production. I mean, I get it, there are things which are annoying waiting for in life. A cure for cancer and a resolution of our current economic crisis ar…

A four year wait for the next Bond era isn't bad I'd say if that's indeed the time frame we're looking at. Honestly, with the information (or lack thereof) that has come out I'd have been shocked if any sort of casting had actually begun. Same for i…

I presume none of these new editions have forwards or introductions to them written by other writers/critics or whomever? While I completely get that the term N****r Heaven is unsavoury (putting it very mildly) to read nowadays (not even the only ex…

With regards to stand alone films, I don't think it's that simple. Like I said before, the Connery films featured SPECTRE and Blofeld as a key link, and even the Moore era had recurring characters who had relationships with Bond that were developed.…
