Oh, I've seen a few of these Batman videos. They're really good. Yeah, would love to see something like that with Bond and could certainly imagine it being centred on the Fleming Bond/novels.

@Last_Rat_Standing Yeah, it's rarely the case that actors mentioned in the press get the role. Hell, they're rarely even considered. Honestly, I've written off Jack Lowden and Rege Jean-Page because they're mentioned so often (that and they both ha…

Maybe bring in Cedar Leiter from Gardner's For Special Services. I'm sure we'd all like to see a scene at the end of the film where Felix essentially gives Bond permission to bang his daughter.

To be fair, I never got the sense CR was a 'Bond begins' story necessarily. Or at least as much as it could have been. We don't go into his origins aside from his two kills to get his double O status (which makes up only the PTS). Craig's Bond seems…

I must admit, I still don't know what actually happened in the last third of that film... Honestly, I think I was fine with everyone jumping around and picking objects up without touching them like Jedis... then Kenneth Branagh started talking in…

I'd always say the same thing when it comes to these things - ie. should a woman direct Bond, should Bond be played by a non-white male actor etc. It depends on who. In the case of directors it also depends on the film. For instance, I've said…

It's difficult casting a good Felix Leiter. You want someone who not only has good chemistry with the actor playing Bond, but also someone who has a stand-out screen presence which contrasts with, but doesn't outshine, Bond. I'm 50/50 on whether …

The drone from the car is a really neat idea. That said I think the problem is that if it was used in NTTD it'd simply have an explosive attached to it. I think more can be done with it. Obviously such a device would allow Bond to get visuals on har…

I'd say FRWL is Fleming's most well crafted book. It definitely has an unconventional structure for a Bond novel. Heck, Bond himself doesn't show up until a good chunk into the book, but his presence is certainly felt in the first part. It's real…

I reckon MR will get the gold. There's a fondness for that novel I've noticed. FRWL might get silver and OHMSS bronze. I could, as usual, be wrong though.
