  • Yes, you may be right there. A bit like how the official DVD docos said that although Brosnan was the first signed up for TLD, Dalton was the one they really wanted even before him.
  • Ms Broccoli is on record as saying that they had their minds set on Craig and the studio made them look at other actors, to be fair.
  • No matter how good you think someone might be, with that amount of money at risk you would want to be completely 100% certain. Making them pop a dinner suit on and play a scene is no trouble at all comparatively and yet completely essential.
  • Haha! Sounds like a very memorable day; fun memories. The one thing that still stays with me from the Ian Fleming centenary thing was that Paul McCartney sent a recorded message which they played on the screen, and he ended his little speech with…

  • That's fun (apart from it being a memorial of course!); I've seen them separately but never together :) I think Tim just edges it as tallest, doesn't he? Slightly surprisingly as well; he doesn't look like a massive guy.

  • B24 is still open too- maybe there are various earnings from the film they have to address even years after it being released. Just looking through their appointments and I see James Higgins was only removed from being a director of Eon in 2021, …

  • I got my LaLaLALD last week (do we have a thread for that?) and although there's perhaps not as much totally fresh music on it as OP thanks to the '03 release, the sound quality is the real star here- it sounds like they're in the room with you. Abs…

  • Craig had the DB10, which I liked a lot (although the CR DBS is probably 'his' car), and Brosnan had the Z8, which I think is his signature one (even though the Vanquish was cooler).

  • I like that one.

  • If Kraven were to be a hit (although the point is somewhat moot) he definitely wouldn't be Bond as he'd be tied to making more Kraven films.
  • Started The Gentlemen; not convinced by Theo James. I don't think he's massively good and makes some average choices.
  • Mescal feels a good fit to me, but I wonder if he'd feel he'd need it- feels like he's just about to become very big on his own.
  • Yes, Bond at the Monsoon Palace is one of my most favourite cues: it really drips in danger and menace. I find OP and TLD are a bit of a pair with all of their military drum stuff: the melody from Monsoon Palace even appears again in TLD.
  • Shades of Grey :)

  • Lovely stuff, thank you. AVTAK has some of the best ‘sinister’ music in the series I think.
  • She seems the natural choice if she would be up for it.
