It’s an interesting question - how far can the films stray from the original source material and still be recognisably related? For what it’s worth while many of the ideas in SP and NTTD strayed from Fleming (and indeed arguably engaging storytel…

Of the remaining material I do think FAVTAK is the best to use as the basis of a future Bond film. Similar to how they adapted Fleming’s TLD short story to the film. That said I don’t think we’ll be seeing a faithful adaptation of the remaining F…

I don’t have a problem with Bond’s Navy background. The main thing about him is that he’s a character skilled and dedicated enough to have worked his way into the 00 section. It’s partly out of a sense of duty and partly because he likes the adventu…

Bond can be a tricky character to nail in terms of writing. The early films were never as reflective of his flaws as some of the novels were either which didn't help. I mean, there are many different ways you can present Bond in today's world, bu…

I reckon the biggest take-away from all this is it's just too early for anything concrete to come out yet. As I've said in the past I doubt ATJ will ultimately get the part, but it's not beyond plausibility that he's had a meeting with the producers…

@Creasy47 Apparently ATJ shot a gun barrel. Unlikely as I believe he’s had long hair and a beard the last few months from what others have pointed out. Also, I don’t think they’d cast anyone without an audition. From what we can tell no officia…

The voice thing really isn’t a big deal in itself. What matters is the actor’s ability to adapt their voices to the role and how expressive they are in terms of tone. Some of the best actors of all time actually had quite high pitched, even nasal vo…

Thing is, I actually kind of like the idea of Bond being a bit less stoic after his retirement. In theory it reminds me of Fleming’s Bond being a bit more humorous after his ‘de-programming’ in TMWTGG. I think it actually feels very natural when he’…
