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.

I really can’t imagine what a Steve McQueen Bond film would look like. To be fair to him I think he could do it. That said I don’t automatically trust The Sun.

I've seen this before. Love hearing Peter Hunt whinging about the direction of GF (makes perfect sense as apparently he wasn't a fan of Hamilton's work on that film and wasn't that fond of GF from what I understand). Some interesting stuff in there …

The problem with Love Actually is that there are so many different storylines (9 different ones if I recall correctly) compacted into its runtime that some of them are going to be weaker than others. To be honest even the more famous ones (I'm think…

Not sure he was really playing along with that one, but it was a funny segment. And yes, he looks quite good for his age.

QOS being a revenge movie is one I’ve seen claimed here too. But yes, I’d say it’s a misconception and I don’t think it accurately describes the film. This might be a bit of a controversial one but I think it’s in the same ballpark and is one I’v…

Unless any of us have a direct insight into what EON are doing behind the scenes at this time, no, it's not obvious that they don't know where to go or at the very least don't have any ideas. I'm not sure who this hypothetical alternative to take th…

Yeah, for a Bond film I thought the age/time jump was surprisingly well thought out. It’s definitely not as head scratching as working out Alec Travelyan’s age!

Ah yeah, dilution was the word I forgot. But yeah, that's pretty much it. Not a big martini fan myself though!

As a former cocktail bartender another one I've heard way too often (often told by other bartenders chatting to customers) is the reasoning behind Bond shaking his martinis. The one I used to hear a lot was: 'it's so he can taste if someone's pois…

I’d be quite skeptical that official casting is underway before a director/official film announcement and release date. Unofficial approaching of actors for a nearish date? Sure. But not sure about anything official yet.

Mostly it's pretty generalised stuff - the Connery, Moore and Brosnan films are all lighthearted, and the Dalton and Craig ones are all completely dark and serious etc. I've also noticed some people who are under the impression that the Fleming nove…

True. I’m sure they’ve had lawyers go through all of this and come up with precautions. I know in the days of CR’s rights being up in the air you have things like Miramax’s attempts to buy it prevented due to EON having a deal with the Fleming estat…
