They could do worse than Mangold. I'm personally a big fan of Logan. I can imagine his approach to directing a Bond film being not unlike that of Fukunaga's.

I'll admit it, after reading this thread this morning I took a phone call (albeit on a smartphone) and put one leg onto a chair as I answered...

Yes he does! It's when he goes into the first hotel room in FRWL. I forgot about that, haha. Perhaps one of the requirements for a Bond actor should be making mundane stuff look weirdly cool... I'm actually not even fully joking. There's definite…

Clearly one the most important traits for playing Bond is the power stance, as demonstrated by Daniel here. Other examples include: A fine power stance. Magnificent stuff. In full Bond mode too. Wonderful. And of course who can forget?…

I think the problem with using TMWTGG for Bond 7's first film is twofold. Firstly it'll be seen as 'retconning' the ending of NTTD, even if this isn't necessarily the case in practice. At the very least it'll bring NTTD to mind with the idea of Bond…

I'm actually really surprised Demange got hired for that. That said knowing who the previous director was I'm even more surprised he was their first choice... oh well... I mean, Demange is certainly moving up 'the ladder'. I enjoyed '71. I do thi…

His performance in TB is lacklustre for me. That said I do think there are moments in that film where the filmmaking really helps his performance. The scene where he tells Domino about her brother's death is an example (it's not a film that I genera…

Well, Connery had a little with the mouse in DAF to be fair... and Moore told a a tiger to sit. Both were relatively sober I suppose.

Not seen SP in a while, but I always thought the implication in that scene was that he was a bit buzzed. Not falling over drunk per say, but definitely not sober. One too many Heinekens presumably. Anyway, it strikes me that the way the Craig era…

They definitely play around with Bond's drinking in Craig's films to be fair. Someone already mentioned the scene where he gets drunk on the plane in QOS, and of course there's all the SF examples. You also have moments such as after the stairway fi…
