I suppose you can make a case that a television series is a slightly more effective way of telling the stories. There’s a lot in those books from what I understand that the films just couldn’t quite fit in. Even watching the third film (which I like…

I just can’t see the appeal of an older Brosnan returning as Bond. Perhaps as an exercise in nostalgia, but even then I don’t see where it could go. We’ve just had an older retired Bond coming back for a last mission. It’s an area the series has gon…

James Bond: The Musical perhaps?

My wild prediction which probably won’t come true - he’ll die but be programmed into the AI thingy which I’m told was the villain of the last film (I still haven’t seen it). Any future instalment will involve Tom Cruise as some sort of AI robot thin…

I think there’s a lot of hindsight with picking a Bond actor on our end. We say there are no obvious contenders - perhaps that’s true, although it’s worth saying auditions haven’t begun yet. I’m sure no one outside of EON would have thought Daniel C…

I’ve always instinctually imagined Solitare as mixed race when reading LALD. I think there’s a description in the book about her being a a colonial General’s daughter which I always thought to be euphemistic. Completely my own thoughts though, I adm…

It depends on the film/part, but I can see Craig in a Nolan film. That said I’m not sure if Tenet or even something like Inception would entice him. Not actually a huge Anne Hathaway fan though. I like Zendaya. Really just depends on what they’re…

That’s awesome. The attention to detail from the books is amazing.

No, I’m not too sure about that one either. That accent from Green is… pretty unique. It’s not her regular accent so it’s not quite French (although it could be at points), but it’s not American… strange. Other than that it doesn’t look particularly…

I understand directing films is hard going, especially if you're a bit older (and by older I mean that in relative terms - I don't think even 60 is old for a director, at least as an individual number). I think the only reason to retire is if the ar…

I know someone who's never seen The Lion King and refuses to watch it because it's a good topic of conversation. I appreciate the dedication (and the lack of shame), but The Lion King is a great movie so I think he's missing out. Anyway... I don'…

He did Widows which was effectively a heist/thriller, so I guess it’s not completely left field for him. He’d be an unusual choice but it’s in the realm of ‘stranger things have happened’ I agree.
