  • I think the script and where they want to go with the next Bond will play a role too. Again, look at The Batman - the fact that they did away with Wayne's playboy persona for this one and depicted him as a younger recluse who is implied to be suffer…

  • It's interesting thinking about what the producers potentially want from the next Bond. That's to say what kind of James Bond, and as a result what kind of actor, they'll look for. In the context of the post-Craig era Dirscu isn't actually an unu…

  • To be honest, I actually misremembered it for a long time and thought it was Edwards who gave the report in that scene. Obviously he appears a bit later. Still, surely it'd have made more sense for the BBC to be reporting about the MI6 attack, no?

  • I have noticed Dirisu is getting a bit of buzz around being a potential Bond outside of these forums. We'll have to see if that has any impact. Like I hinted at in my last post about ATJ, I do think the shorter the odds are, the less likely it's goi…

  • Broadly true. I think Australia does have (or at least has had) certain species in zoos technically (at least I remember there being some last time I visited) but they're not natural to the environment. Was going to write Jamaica in response to that…

  • For sure. From what I can tell they were planning to go even younger in early drafts and have a Bond in his 20s (which explains Cavill, although I think they came to the conclusion he was too young somewhat ironically). I guess it was more 'Bond be…

  • Having M be the Head of the 00 section rather than of MI6 isn't as major a change as we might think. You still have essentially the same function from the character as well as the same character dynamics between them and Bond. In fact it actually mi…

  • Not sure if any of these actresses have been mentioned before, but oh well... Mia Goth I've noticed her appearing more and more in Horror films as of late (Peal, X, High Life, Suspira etc.) I can see why. She's an actress with an interesti…
  • I do think most of these 'strict' requirements such as height and age always have a bit of leeway dependent on the candidate. I'm sure if an actor aged 40 or a bit older auditioned this time round and was exactly what they were looking for they'd go…
  • Turner reminds me of Clive Owen (who I guess was rumoured for Bond around 2005). I mean, the idea of both playing Bond makes sense on paper... sort of. Neither are too famous, but not unknown. Both look like generic 'James Bond' types. And yet there…

  • It's a controversial ending for many different reasons. I actually agree with much of what you wrote, it's in-keeping with the idea of the character never being able to have that 'normal life'. So in a sense it's sufficiently tragic. Personally, …
