Great thread @Zekidk I’ll look forward to its progression.

The question is @DewiWynBond how are you going to handle the screen tests? How’s your voice? Height? Have you rehearsed the two scenes EON often use for tests, Bond and Tania in Bonds hotel and Bond and Tracy in Bonds hotel? Any hesitation any c…

@bondywondy are you suggesting Amazon have majority stakes in James Bond?

@peter, of course your opinion is respected. As an established writer. However, I don’t think anyone is suggesting that May be introduced as she was written by Fleming. An updated version of a housekeeper in today’s fast paced lifestyle of those w…

@jetsetwilly please forgive @mtm, he's right as usual (always) Adding a character from Fleming will add nothing to any future movie. They serve no purpose apparently to the overall plot of the film.

It would seem that ship has sailed @buddyoldchap No real new candidates coming through, some suggestions don't seem to work for a few of us, and others are just plain wrong for the role. It's a very tough role to fill.

Society Of The Snow (2023) In 1972, the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, chartered to fly a rugby team to Chile, catastrophically crashes on a glacier in the heart of the Andes. A well known story of survival in one of the most harsh environments…

Whilst Bond has remained pretty much the same character over the course of the films, he has changed slightly in the way he acts. Whilst he could be considered a womaniser, he no longer slaps a woman on the butt or refers to women as 'darling'. Not…

Is PWB accurate though? Hasn't Bond adapted and changed over the course of the series?

NTTD as best Bond film @peter That’s quite a controversial choice given the back catalogue of Bond films.

One could argue that why is Moneypenny a supporting character in the films, with an even smaller role in Fleming's novels included. Or even the beloved Q, who only gets mentioned as being part of Q branch in the novels. I don't think anyone is sug…

I guess it depends how Bond 26 or future Bond films go story wise. Can the tried and tested Bond formula of old work in the 2020's or 2030's? The Craig films went away from the classic formula and gave us a slightly different take on Bond. Going fo…

Hope you’re resting in peace Greg @SirHenryLeeChaChing Sadly missed by all who contributed with him. The forum lost a good friend 10 years ago.

I think it would be enough to see her going about her duties. A minor character, no need to give the next film a personal angle to the story. As much as that helps fuel things, it does get a bit repetitive after a while. I was thinking maybe Bond c…
