I'm sure there are people who don't find the recent Bond films to be their favourites. And that's fine. We all have our opinions and they're rarely black and white. But to be honest, from what I've seen/read, there is definitely a minority of Bon…

I guess you could have a game where you pick different Bond actor ‘skins’. Might be cool but a bit much at the same time. I’d say an original Bond is fine.

To each their own. But I can’t imagine what it’d be like to hate large chunks of a series I claim to be a fan of (and keep in mind I and pretty much everyone on these forums have our criticisms of some of these films). Even if it were the case, the …

It’s the musical remake of Memento we’ve all been asking for, clearly.

I’m not sure how disinterested across the board teens are in Bond (I suspect there’s truth in the idea that the younger ones below 16 aren’t its biggest audiences, but I’ve seen much more interest in Craig’s Bond than in, say, Mission Impossible wit…

I think the only real thing a lot of younger actors are lacking is hindsight, and it’s to do with us. I’m not sure if that many people pre-DN would have looked at Connery’s previous roles and seen his full potential as an actor, much less Bond. We k…

Jeff Bezos probably has more on his mind than badgering EON. Truth be told I don't think he as an individual has much to do with any of this.

I could be wrong, but I think if there were unresolvable issues holding up Bond 26 then I suspect these issues would actually be a bit more public. Not to say there's no disagreements between EON and Amazon (and yes, they're probably to do with dist…

It’s a fine balance. I think you need that legitimate element of danger in a Bond action sequence with a good dash of absurdity. You really need to feel this is a genuine threat to Bond’s life while being able to enjoy those humorous reprieves and a…

Having watched probably the equivalent to half an episode of Bridgeton here and there (usually when someone else in the room is watching it), I’m not sure if I can imagine any of that cast as Bond. Luke Thompson and Bailey blend together in my mind …

Turner’s never done much for me as a potential Bond. I think it’s safe to say he’s an unlikely choice now. I don’t think it’s an issue of age, but more one where he simply wouldn’t be on EON’s radar. And much like Theo James he’s openly said he’s no…

Add to that the fact that Bond is a pretty formulaic series anyway (I don’t mean that in a positive or negative way - it just is). The nature of Bond is it’s always the same but different. There’s always a villain with a caper Bond has to thwart, a …

Must admit, I’ve grown to like Pleasance’s Blofeld on my viewing of YOLT in the last year or so. He has this slight undercurrent of madness which comes through in his performance, becoming increasingly agitated with the situation around him. While t…

I guess the other example Python sketch in that article is the one where it’s a sort of bigoted but absurdly friendly town hall type thing? From what I remember it involves Palin’s character getting shot by a campily dressed Cleese in a completely d…
