  • Thanks for creating this thread @antovolk. I can remember in the lead-up to Skyfall losing a lot of sleep over whether or not Tom Newman was the right 'fit' for Bond. His sound and his style just seemed so antithetical to what we'd come to expect…

  • If they see enough of us posting "I liked it," it may well still end up being the title.
  • There it is. Confirmation from MI6 that A Reason to Die was the title of Bond 25 as of the night before the launch event, and it was pulled at the last second. https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/bond-25-title-change-a-reason-to-die I thi…
