  • It's been even when you factor in when it was finished/was meant to be released ;) It's that Covid period which aged that mid 20s and late teen crowd, haha. Basically a year or two of life. It does surprise me how long it was sometimes though, ag…

  • Yeah agreed, there's not much point in adapting them. I can't see much that could be used from them. I mean, I guess little bits and pieces of Forever and a Day could be used - Bond in his early 30s/a newly appointed 007 after the previous one dies,…
  • I can understand Brosnan’s maybe not everyone’s cup of tea. I’d say significant beats of his performance in TWINE are questionable. I wouldn’t say he was the strongest lead actor the series has ever had, but he has charisma and screen presence. I…
  • I can see Bean doing it. I’d say a Bond from Sheffield is no stranger than a Bond with thick Scottish accent (although he’d probably just done the accent he did as Travelyan in GE). I wouldn’t say he was an amazingly left field candidate either. …
  • I’d say probably along the lines of: Hozier (I can see a nice YKMN or LALD style song from him). Dua Lipa (maybe a bit obvious but it’s certainly not unheard of for big artists to do Bond themes, and she could be a good fit). Other bigger a…
  • NTTD's quite Brexit-ey in a post 2016 type way. In the sense that political fatigue towards it has really set in. M/British Intelligence are much more isolated from the rest of the world in that film. There's this idea with M's involvement in Heracl…

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2028 For all the non-football fans. It's being hosted in the UK and Ireland in 2028. That's what Mendes means. It's the sort of thing where I don't think they'd set a release date around it. But if it happe…

  • It’s not a case of each actor’s last film always being their weakest. Many would say NTTD’s a strong ending to the Craig era, and I’d say the same about LTK with Dalton’s/argue it’s stronger than TLD. I think it’s generally a case where those last f…

  • I must admit, the 500 million mark to make its profit doesn’t sound right at all (factor in advertising costs and it’s probably closer to 650 - 700 million). But it’ll do that in the long run through various other avenues (streaming residuals, home …
