People on these forums have said that too more or less. That or Bond is an 'anti-hero'. I suspect from the producer's point of view it's naive and could come off as a bit flippant even if it was said in a more forgiving context. Bond fundamentall…

With the recent article about the tensions between EON and Amazon, one thing that actually struck me was, to some extent, how resistant the producers themselves are to major fundamental changes with the character/franchise. And yet at the same time …

I’d be interested in seeing what reactions are outside these forums. To me it really makes Amazon look a bit ridiculous in places. But I’m sure there are people who may want Moneypenny spin offs or tv shows about a female 007… I’m not sure that’s fo…

I suppose this news reframes things slightly, or at least might do for some. Instead of EON being lazy and/or cautious it’s a behind the scenes problem. And to be fair I can imagine it being pretty much the truth. Obviously the article is only on…

I'm not a big Superman fan so it's not a film I'd say I'm super buzzed about. But I liked the trailer and much prefer that kind of look/tone than what we got with Snyder. I'll give it a watch.

I wouldn't be amazingly surprised if he got the part, or at least an actor along the lines of him. But at the same time he's not a top choice of mine and it's not a given. It's not an outlandish prediction though. An actor getting announced next yea…

Well, I think it's more a case that Batman Begins and CR came from very similar contexts rather than one following the other's lead. Both franchises had gotten criticisms about being too 'silly' (very simplified, and obviously Bond didn't have a dis…

Wow, didn't realise how much some of my opinions have changed looking at my post in this thread from 2022. Anyway... I think Bond is always subject to 'reinvention' as the producers like to say, and it's applicable to each new era. Arguably even …

I don’t think a period piece Bond is something that will really resonate with audiences beyond certain fans. Most regular viewers kinda expect Bond films to be modern, and such a film wouldn’t be James Bond as most audiences expect. It’s an idea I c…

It's tricky imagining anyone as Bond without actually seeing it in the actual film I think. So we don't know how anyone would come off in terms of being distinguished. And yes, these are AI generated images so don't give a good indication about eith…

We probably look at this way too narrowly. It’s understandable as we all want a Bond film and a lot of us don’t care about Shakespeare adaptations or even CCBB. I’d look at it like this - for better or for worse EON is more productive than it’s e…

At the end of the day it’s always worth saying we really don’t know anything. Most predictions any of us make (including me) will be wrong in practice simply because we’re not privy to what’s going on behind those doors. None of us can say how organ…

God Clive Owen is awful in that trailer (why does he say ‘crimes’ so strangely?) I will say it looks a lot better than Campbell’s other film with Eva Green. But yes, it’s Die Hard. Could be surpassingly good, but I think it’ll be more middle of t…

We know there have been discussions about potential actors, so yes I imagine his name has come up. But I think it's doubtful at this point whether he'd even want to do it or would be available.

Oh there'll be rumours. There always are. We've actually had a number of them in both 2023/2024 (actually more than I'd have thought for this point). Off the top of my head they included at least two ATJ 'announcements' that he's the next Bond, a ha…
