Even if P&W return (which isn’t unlikely) it’ll be a new set of writers I think. As others have said they tend to do the ground work with the script, and after that other writers come on to change it as needed. As for how they’ll ’reinvent’ B…

Craig has pretty big sticky out ears as well to be fair.

I suppose it depends on what exactly this bit of 'strict' continuity is between films is and what they do with the story at the end of the day. To be completely honest I suspect in many cases fans would react positively to a more strict bit of conti…

I never know what people truly mean when they say they 'don't want character arcs' for Bond, especially when we're talking from film to film. Do we mean we don't want Bond to change at all from film to film? I don't see a reason why an incarnation o…

Well, the thing about Bond is that he isn’t a former naval commander to most audiences, and the films will rarely make reference to this (and even if they do it won’t be a cornerstone detail of the cinematic character that has to be depicted complet…

They probably don't have much choice but to work something out. And to be fair that seems to be what they're doing.

It was pretty well received critically and audiences generally were good with it. The issue was few felt the need to go and see it in the cinema. Rarely does word of mouth tank a film in that way.

I'm not sure how much they can (or should) plan ahead to be honest, as much as it's easy to say. At least I don't think the can do it in great detail. Doing that requires them to have an idea of what the next two or three films will actually be abou…

I suppose it's worth asking what exactly the 00 section is if you want to answer the question. Broadly in both the film and novels it's a secret section of MI6 seemingly made up of a few agents who report directly to M. They seem to be sent on missi…

I think it depends. Craig's Bond had much more of a blunt, harder edge (and was more sarcastic in his humour) than the others. Even then he's much more relaxed during SP and even NTTD. Still very much Bond, but I don't think any actor should try and…

Turner won't be Bond for a few reasons (a major one being he's effectively said he probably wouldn't consider it if offered). As much as I'm not a fan of Cavill and think he's equally unlikely to be Bond, I do think he has a lot more charisma and sc…

I think it would have simply made OHMSS more an oddity than it needed it to be, both at the time and after. I don't think it's something they would have continued with as a tradition with each new Bond, but it would have been a strange little footno…

Continuity's fine for me, but ultimately it depends on what's done. I'm fine with something about the previous film informing how Bond acts in the next one (a bit like how, for example, after SF Bond is has a new lease on life in SP. Or how in Flemi…

An issue I have with the Kingsman films are that while they're fun to watch and definitely have that heightened style to them, I always find there's little sense of genuine danger when compared to Bond movies. The action is so stylised in that almos…

Didn't know that about the Volpe line. Interesting. It depends on exactly what they do with Bond in this instance I suppose. I think all that outward stuff like the outlandishness, humour and self awareness is always there to some extent with the…
-
To be fair they've done the whole 'meta commentary' (if you can call it that) about Bond's relevance in SF and GE. There are other points in the series where they've sort of done that too. I'm thinking of Volpe in TB sarcastically chiding Bond about…
