I think they should always concentrate on one film at a time. As for the actor, I think it’s worth trying to find a long term one who can thrive in the role. I don’t see what a potential lame duck Bond would add. I also think a big part of Bond’s su…

I think that's a great way of putting it. NTTD's an interesting film in terms of the questions it asks (and answers in its own way) and it's also interesting when you think of it in terms of the books. If the literary Bond never knew about, much les…

I mean, for all the talk here of SF's 'plot contrivances' MR is a film which, when you think about it, makes very little sense at times! But it's got such spectacle and often these very heightened tonal shifts. I'm not sure if it always 'gets away w…

Controversial opinion, yes! I'm a big TSWLM fan and would say it's the better film. I do enjoy MR as well. They're quite different even if the basic story is very similar.

It's different, no doubt. I do think NTTD has its roots in Fleming and is actually surprisingly deferential in how it adapts many of those ideas. But like any Bond film it's adapting those threads to its own ends as a film. As hinted we as fans can …

To be fair I don't think YOLT is a book that can ever be faithfully adapted into a film. Even if it'd come after OHMSS (and you really need the ending of that book in order to faithfully adapt YOLT) a lot of the middle is Bond and Tanaka wandering a…

I mean, I could be wrong but I assume at this point we simply don't know where the next Bond movie is being made, at least in terms of its studio necessities? Pascal and Heyman were said to be working on it in London though.
