I kinda want to create a prediction thread where everyone has one go at outlining what they think Bond 26 will look like (story, the next Bond, director, Bond girl etc). Keep it aside and revisit it when Bond 26 comes out. It’ll be interesting to se…

Depends on what they do. CR has a great PTS but no big stunt. Same for GF. I’m going to be slightly contrarian though and say if it’s a PTS without Bond I’d like a big stunt. That’d be kinda unique. But it all depends on how it’s done.

I was impressed with The King and Animal Kingdom so would be very interested if Michod was the next director. I suppose the only issue with him is he doesn't have a track record of making financially successful films, but nonetheless he has made som…

I don’t tend to drive while on holiday so I guess the watch. And hey, as LALD shows us it can double up as a buzz saw, which could be useful.

I agree. Sometimes it's interesting looking at those types of names and trying to see what they've brought to their previous work that's Bondian. I know he's supposedly out of contention (although who knows) but someone like Edward Berger has done s…

I’m not sure if EON would wait around for a director unless it suited their schedule. I’ve said before that I think picking a director isn’t unlike picking the Bond actor in many ways. It’s not that there’s only one specific individual who can do it…

I suppose nowadays if the next Bond actor was brought in on such short notice the production would be a lot more hands on in getting them into shape (although it wouldn't be fun - probably lots of chicken and kale, and a hell of an exercise regime).…

I really wouldn't go as far to say he looks 50+ in DAF, but yes, his thicker eyebrows, slight weight gain and toupee (which, although good, ages him due to the dated style and slight receding they add in compared to his previous ones) age him probab…

I don’t think Bond being onscreen or the film ‘changing gears’ makes or breaks part of the film. The GE section works for me better than TB or NSNA as it’s more compelling and dramatic. Bond’s offscreen for just as much of NSNA so I don’t see the is…

They kind of go hand in hand. I do find some of Bond’s ‘one upping’ of M about brandy in the Hamilton films a bit annoying and something that doesn’t always endear audiences to the character. But it can be done well and so long as it doesn’t make Bo…
