  • I wholeheartedly share Zack Snyder's sentiments on the idea of a younger James Bond, expressing that it would be intriguing to witness the character at a formative age. Snyder's notion of exploring the humble roots and youthful traumas that shape Bo…
  • https://savilleproductions.com/directors/feature-film-directors/martin-campbell/ I don't know how I missed this, but Campbell recently directed an advertisement for Louis Vuitton featuring Lea Seydoux. Despite this somewhat surprising venture…
  • Yet another Brosnan blitz.... The Netflix algorithm clearly knows that I’ve been watching too many Pierce Brosnan films, so it’s no surprise I got a notification that The Out-Laws had arrived. This is amiable stuff, being both rather watchable an…
  • I wanted to share a thought I've been mulling over lately – what if Emerald Fennell took the reins for the next James Bond film? Hear me out. You might recall Fennell from "Promising Young Woman," a film that not only earned her an Oscar for scre…
  • https://twitter.com/JamesBondAUS/status/1734170902143885449 Paul Mescal is looking ripped these days. He's definitely had a Hollywood glow-up. I saw Aftersun and was so impressed with Paul Mescal. That film is perfectly served by Mescal’s signa…

  • I rewatched For Your Eyes Only the other day before it left Prime....The film offers breathtaking set pieces and cool Bond moments, yet stumbles in the storytelling department. The film lacks the allure and glamour characteristic of top-tier Bond mo…
  • For me, the prospect of Jacob Elordi donning the iconic mantle of James Bond emerges is a tantalising proposition. Elordi's youthfulness injects a vibrant energy into the character, a vital infusion that the venerable franchise could benefit from. H…
  • I watched Oppenheimer....Nolan's filmmaking carries a formal elegance that feels traditional, but he stays true to his style by splicing up the timeline. The result is a film less baffling than Tenet but at times, it can feel cluttered. The first ho…
  • I was eagerly anticipating Dead Reckoning, and I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of disappointment after watching the film. The plot was an absolute mess, convoluted beyond comprehension, and it didn't do itself any favors with an exces…

  • I recently saw Park Chan Wook's Lady Vengeance and couldn't help but notice how similar the title sequences were to Danny Kleinman's work in No Time to Die. The rose and vine imagery, in particular, stood out to me. I wonder if Kleinman has been ask…
  • https://twitter.com/heyellybelly/status/1635697422234943492 I saw this video doing the rounds on Twitter. I completely understand why some are against the idea of an American actor taking on the role of James Bond. However, Austin Butler has…
  • I wonder if EON will go down the route of hiring an A-list director (Sam Mendes and Danny Boyle) or a promising newcomer (Cary Fukunaga and Yann Demange). If they go for the latter, there are three interesting names who I like: Romain Gavras woul…
  • I forgot how entertaining NTTD! We always think of the Craig films as being sombre. Not the case here. NTTD is almost a 70s Bond film. It's camp, mischievous and (I mean this in a good way) corny at times. It also features Daniel Craig's best Bond p…
  • I had another Brosnan binge.... Pierce Brosnan starring in an A24 horror film? Sign me up! I was not disappointed with False Positive. This is great psychological horror where expectant motherhood turns increasingly to paranoia, delusions then to…

  • The simple truth is that Bond needs Gen Z to survive. I'd guess we all probably got into the Bond films when we were teenagers? I know that I did. The thought of Halle Berry coming out of the water and the Aston Martin Vanquish in DAD got me droo…
  • Do we want Martin Campbell back for Bond 26? I watched his last two films recently and they make for interesting viewing. First up was The Protégé...For what is essentially a B-movie, this is a watchable and entertaining affair. However, the scri…
  • Anyone want Sam Mendes back for Bond 26? Just watched Empire of Light and it was a disappointment. There are plenty of themes but few coherent ideas linking them. Olivia Colman delivers a stirring performance, but this is not her most affecting s…
  • I recently watched Aftersun and was so impressed with Paul Mescal. That film is perfectly served by Mescal’s signature brand of softboi gentleness. I went and watched him in Normal People after (which is a bit of a slog and not worth the hype) and h…
  • This tweet made me laugh. Daniel was channelling his inner Blanc during this sequence.... https://twitter.com/DanJamesFrank/status/1609690703692500992
  • Can anyone vouch for this guy? I would dismiss this as fan speculation, however he seems too rational. If what he is saying is true then we may be getting a 2024 release date and Christopher Nolan directing the reboot. It does make sense as Nolan ha…
  • I really liked Pattinson's moody and coiled Batman. There is a serious darkness to him in that role. If you were unfamiliar with the character you'd be hard pressed to not believe that he was the serial killer. That edgy quality made his portrayal w…
  • https://twitter.com/FilmUpdates/status/1603021068704575488 Personally I think this is exactly the type of project he should be doing. He has proven himself as a leading man with 007 and now has shown he has comedic chops. However, my favourite …
  • New trailer has landed for Oppenheimer and it looks special. The cinematography and look is really giving me First Man vibes. Apparently word on the Nolan forums is that he has finished the movie and it has been seen by cast and crew already. Noneth…
  • First look at MASTERS OF THE AIR has been unveiled by Apple TV+ in which Cary Fukunaga has directed four episodes. I really love Austin Butler's accent 😍😍😍 If only he was English, he'd have made a good Bond. https://twitter.com/CultureCrave/statu…

  • The British tabloids tend to get it right when it comes to Bond. It is for this reason that I am a little uninspired by Aaron Taylor-Johnson's name being thrown into the mix. He seems to me to be a mix between Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan. There …
