  • I love FRWL, but I'm really not into TB. CR and QOS feels like a double bill I'd get more out of.

  • Personally, I thought he was still very much the Bond we know in NTTD. Maybe at a certain point in his life, but still Bond. I can imagine the next film having a much more 'traditional' Bond (ie. in his prime, bedding a few women, less jaded/refl…

  • I too am awaiting the next zany and upbeat version of The Batman Part 2 (based of course on 'Gen Z' demand for some reason, presumably because the first one is two years old and this is the trend now, despite the previous film's success). I am also …

  • I think they were really trying with Stacy on the page to make her interesting. She has a backstory, a motive etc. I think the creative opportunity was there to do something slightly more interesting with her in the third act (much like Kara in TLD)…
  • To be fair I think they were really trying to go for a more romantic angle with Stacy (probably due to Moore's age compared to hers). There's a heavy element of that with Bond watching over her, cooking her dinner etc. I feel they were trying to mak…

  • I'm not sure if that's the type of thing EON would do just for notoriety or because they can. I think they'll decide what they want to do first and then work out expenses (I guess that's how it works more or less?) Also I suspect that 1.29 billio…

  • I'm sceptical about it being wholly true (or at the very least who we'll end up with), but I must admit it's difficult to say what kind of Bond film Chazzelle would hypothetically make. I really like Whiplash though.
