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…

Yes, I can definitely imagine some big, relevant actors in this one, at least in the cast around Bond (the villain in particular - hope he doesn't go for Jared Leto again though!)
-
If anything it's the scriptwriters fulfilling the creative direction set out by the director/producers! I understand that's very simplistic/there's always that collaborative element though. Anyway, I'm not sure if I can say specifically for now w…

I mean, presumably the new producers have spoken to all the potential directors and have heard what they have to say about Bond and where they'd take this film. If Villeneuve's come out on top, there must be a reason (his reputation and track record…

Well, I presume it'll be development and writing, and then we'll get to casting. Still a bit to go. Out of all of those in the list (even the playful options) I'd still go Turner.

I know, what is even going on? :))

I’ve been very open about not being a big fan of his films (I find them generally a bit dull, albeit stylish and always well crafted. Incidentally I thought Prisoners fantastic and tense, and I legitimately rate it highly). He’s clearly a first r…

I suppose he’d be on their radar just by virtue of being a good looking British actor 30-35 years old. I can certainly see him getting to a first audition if he agreed. How far he’d get after is anyone’s guess.

Not entirely sure what modern edge means, but from interviews I’ve liked how he comes across. A blokeish type confidence if that makes sense? I can easily imagine him in a tuxedo strutting up to the bar and ordering a martini or chatting up a woman.…

UNCLE's pretty easy viewing. Not necessarily a film you'd go out of your way to watch in the cinema (from what I understand it didn't do well in that regard), but very much a 'yeah, stick that film on' type thing if you're at home and have Netflix o…

For what it's worth I remember saying when EON still had the creative rights that I didn't think this would be the hard reboot/course correction that CR was in '06. Obviously Bond 26 needs to bring introduce a new Bond and a new era to audiences (so…

I don't think having certain kinds of accents/needing to change them too much is very important for Bond. Connery had a noticeable Scottish accent and Brosnan a sort of Transatlantic Irish one that gave both character. Dalton's Northern twang slippe…

I'd be interested if either Dickinson or Turner were picked. I can see them being slightly different. Turner has that energetic, masculine confidence to him I can see going into Bond, and Dickinson that more quiet, enigmatic quality to him. Both str…

Most of what goes into picking the director is stuff we'll never hear. We can only look at these filmmakers and think theoretically about what they'd bring. This comes down to meetings with producers, pitches, what both parties want or say etc. I…
