I think the cliffhanger idea would have been fine, and as I've said the only way for that plot thread to work properly is with the same Bond actor in the two films... That said, it would have to be better established who exactly is doing the brainwa…

Must say, I'm not seeing how Roger was cold or wooden in his first two Bond films at all... or indeed anything he did. Perhaps the material didn't do justice to his Bond (especially TMWTGG) but if anything he was rather an underrated actor I'd say. …

He's definitely talented from what I've seen of him in clips... like I said anything's possible. I do think we'll potentially see another backlash against the new Bond actor similar to what happened with Craig. I do think they'll want to go with …

That may have been their logic for changing it... Still though, it's such a striking costume! I can imagine a pair of Wint and Kidd style henchmen dressing up in those suits and killing their victims.

Wow, he does look an awful lot like Sean Connery, doesn't he? I mean, just look at this still... I'm not sure if I'd write him off to be honest. From what I can see of Youtube the top hits are not of him performing as an actor but in intervie…

I can imagine Nolan 'reinventing' Bond while also taking a more conservative approach to the character. I can't imagine him deciding to give Bond a family or killing him off (even TDKR had that final moment during the ending with his Batman) or even…

Exactly. It'd actually play quite well with Waltz's Blofeld - this strange subversion of having this unseen, fear inducing, almost supernatural presence paired with this seemingly pleasant and affable little man. Kinda like the Blofeld in the OHMSS …

Reinvent could mean anything... anyway, what's she going to say? "Oh yeah, we're just going to give you a typical Bond adventure, no surprises!" I'll reserve judgment until more news comes out, which will be a while.

With the announcement that Bond 26 is potentially 2+ years away from filming, I wonder if most of our picks will be quickly outdated? I mean, ultimately it depends on the direction they want to go in, but it would make sense that they'd want to go w…

To be fair, it's easy to dismiss some fan's reactions to the ending of NTTD. I'm not saying there aren't people who get way too hung up about it (it's just a film after all). Personally, I didn't like the concept, or at least thought it could have b…

Yeah, I get that, especially in things like 1917 and The Bodyguard. I'm not sure he really screams Bond to me, but he's a solid actor. I think with Bond an actor's natural instinct is usually to underplay everything... perhaps after Craig and the…

True, and I will say as books that are meant to be marketed to and read by teenagers, Higson does a good job. Maybe I'm just pedantic! I will say that it does make me appreciate something like Skyfall more. The idea of Bond spending a chunk of hi…
