I'm always a bit conflicted about the foot chase to be fair. It's self consciously trying to give off this idea that 'Bond is human' and he can't quite keep up with this guy... and yet Bond will then do stuff like catch a gun in mid-air like it's no…

To be fair, I suspect a new, younger actor will help a bit at bringing in younger audiences. Was it a similar situation going into the Dalton era after the later Moore films? Anyway, I do think a new actor will help a bit. Apart from that, it's u…

Guys, some big news, I've just been contacted by an anonymous source who works at EON. They messaged me out of the blue and claimed they had some updates on the casting of Bond 26. Apparently Aidan Turner is a done deal, but the Producers are wor…

Sounds rubbish, but even if EON had these ideas at the moment it doesn't mean they will actually happen. Maybe Turner auditions and it turns out he's actually really uninspiring in the part and it'd be a disaster casting him. Maybe Nolan's busy or i…

While I get it's controversial I do sometimes get the sense that skin colour is just another layer to the whole 'Bond should look like x' debate which isn't always applicable in practice. Anyone can look like Henry Cavill but very few are necessaril…

There's of course all this on James Bond wiki about Craig's Bond's background (in which he started out in Sea Service and just sort of made his way up before being recruited by MI6): https://jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/James_Bond_(Daniel_Craig) I h…

It's an interesting question: what age is too young for Bond to be depicted as a character? Again, I personally don't feel a Bond film should depict him as 007 below the age of 30. And that's meant to be a younger Bond. It has an impact on which act…

Yeah, it's a good thing the whole Bond begins concept got watered down in my opinion. At least with Batman Begins they had the well worn origin story to fall back on and adapt. Bond doesn't really have that sort of dramatic backstory/specific incide…
