At the end of the day they're just writers for hire. Most of the general themes/ideas I suspect are discussed beforehand with Broccoli, and it's not just a case of them doing whatever they want. It'll now be a case where they write a few drafts or t…

Perhaps along with suggesting actors for the next Bond, we could also suggest what negative qualities the press will inevitably say about them and what stories will come out? I mean, we're not too far off of this anyway... Aidan Turner? Lack of c…

Yes, it seems they're back. Then again they're much like the furniture now. I suspect we could get a situation like SF where the first drafts and the general direction of the story are written and honed by P&W before someone else jumps onboard a…

I suppose the Brosnan films just don't have the same nostalgic appeal that the others do. GE is the closest, but I'm not sure if it's a film all that widely remembered if you aren't a Bond fan. It doesn't help that the strongest memory I think a lot…

Yeah, unfortunately all true. Ah well, suppose we'll have moaning to look forward to in the run up to this film.

It's a double edged sword really. Cast a non-white actor who is right for the part and risk people online foaming at the mouths and generating bad publicity for the film. Don't consider non-white actors at all and risk someone special falling throug…

It'd be cool if Bond 26 had a similar 'cat and mouse' espionage plot to TLD and FRWL. I'm not sure if it'd be wise jumping straight into world domination, invisible cars and nanobots for an actor's first outing. I don't even mind the milk bottle …

Aaron Taylor Johnson's a pretty good actor. I honestly think he should get offered more roles than he does at the moment. But no, he's not Bond.
