I maintain there is precedent for the arse chin with Bond. Lazenby and Dalton had them. Not quit sure about the long neck! But I’m also not a fan of picking apart little details without seeing the bigger picture. Anyway, it’ll depend on auditi…

Oh yeah, there’s a lot of TWINE in SF. It’s one of the many times Bond echoes itself.

I think it’s relevant to MI as a franchise rather than specifically a wider movie going thing. Its ceiling could only go so high, and the excitement just wasn’t there for this one (it was always going to struggle being part 2 to a film that underper…

Obviously with enough mewing anyone can attain an alpha male face and be Bond... Or something ;)

Not sure I'd be personally be a fan of a shock parent revelation like that! But you can in theory have a Bond film where something about Bond's parents/their deaths informs the story directly. It wouldn't be what I'd want to explore with Bond, but I…

All they need to do is make it interesting. Give Bond an obstacle or set of characters he hasn’t faced before, a situation that might make him conflicted, or even have him change by the end in some way if it works. No, Bond won’t be one dimension…

I think the mention of Holland is sort of a ‘wish list’ pick. In practice I think it’ll be very hard for the current Spiderman to be James Bond, but his name does drum up interest. Dickinson I’m all for. I think he’s a very good actor. I’m not as…

Oh, Pattinson's a great actor. No complaints about him. I like him as Batman. I think the issue with him is that obviously he's connected to Batman, and I think even under Amazon they won't have a Bond who's playing another high profile role like…

Yeah, I can see that. SP has a lot more of a strait laced feel to it (although it has gags such as Bond's Aston gadgets not working). NTTD has these big tonal jumps from dark to very comedic.

I'm sure Villeneuve's not ignorant of what Bond needs - style, humour, spectacle etc. He's been hired to make a Bond film and that's what he'll make. As for how 'dark' it'll go, I think you'll get a handful of scenes which stand out due to that tone…
