Oh, I'd definitely recommend the original Suspiria too! The 2018 version is quite different (I'm actually not a big fan of it, but can appreciate it).

It's worth saying even development alone can take months - even years in certain circumstances (although I don't think this will be the case!) If we get any concrete news within the next 3-4 months I'd be happy, albeit surprised. This stuff takes ti…

My sense of Reacher is he’s rather idealised. Maybe I haven’t seen enough of the character though, but generally from what I’ve seen he’s always a few steps ahead of everyone else and even if he has his own moral code/is a loner, he’s very much a ch…

I suppose, although I think having multiple people in the room every time takes away something from those briefings. I’d definitely like a one to one with M and Bond in the next one.

Reacher's the most un-antihero hero I can think of in the sense that he's overly chivalrous. Actually I find him a rather boring character in many ways, especially compared to Bond!
-
It's not necessarily easy exploring Bond being sick of killing in a film. Ultimately no wider story will result in Bond choosing not to ever kill again, and hammering home this idea could risk that audience expectation (the closest we get is SP). Ev…

I wouldn’t call Bond an anti hero and would argue he is heroic fundamentally, but otherwise agreed. The actor who plays Bond needs the ability to come off as a bit of a b*stard while still being magnetic and even likeable.

Why are the likes of GB News/The Daily Mail suddenly hyped for James Nelson Joyce as Bond? Incredibly random… Anyway, yeah this is bs.

I kind of wish Dent had been a bit more distinctive in some way (maybe just something a bit more to his attitude or appearance). But I do like how he comes off as someone a bit out of his depth and fearful of Dr. No. He's a somewhat ordinary man who…
