  • re: Bond and Aston Martin. There is a bit of an irony how it all came about. In the Goldfinger novel, Bond selected the Aston Martin DB3 (I believe) from the fleet as part of his cover as a shady adventurer. When Goldfinger the film was in pre…

  • Bearing in mind the past isn't necessarily prologue, here's what happened with Bond 24/SPECTRE --November 2012: John Logan's hiring to write Bond 24 and 25 is announced by Gary Barber on an investor conference call. --mid-2013: This is based o…

  • Robert Day, prolific director for both British (including The Avengers) and US television. His late brother, Ernest Day, was a crew member on some Bond films. He was the widower of actress Dorothy Provine, who died in 2010. http://bit.ly/2nkjPFw

  • There are a couple of levels of irony here. --Cruise was negotiating for UNCLE, but exited the project in spring 2013. That left the role of Solo open for Cavill. --Paramount moved Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation from Christmas 2015 to late J…

  • Just to be clear, there is no rumor that Soderbergh is even in the picture to direct Bond 25. It's banter on this thread.

  • Risico007 wrote: » where is all this Steve Sodenbergh talk coming from? Just banter in this thread. However, Soderbergh wrote an essay about his appreciation of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which demonstrates a good knowledge of 007.
  • The one thing about Soderbergh is he's very efficient, he often photographs his own movies under the name Peter Andrews. He also edits some of his movies under the name Mary Ann Bernard. Bond is a little big to do all that, but having a thrifty d…
  • Background: MGM announced in November 2012 that Logan had been hired to write Bond 24 and Bond 25. Later rolled back to just one movie. He delivered his first draft for Bond 24 in March 2014. Not saying it will take Purvis and Wade that long, …
