  • I'm surprised the San Francisco police captain didn't get nominated here.

  • This is not a suggestion, but a possible route EON might take with Bond 26. Given the ending of NTTD ( (Spoiler) ) the film makers can seemingly go in any direction they please. They can do a DAF, where they simply ignore the last films exploits…
  • Great thread @Zekidk I’ll look forward to its progression.

  • And what about your acting credentials @DewiWynBond ? Why will the casting director give you a shot?
  • 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…
  • Jordo007 wrote: » Elordi as Bond? No thanks. Hopefully they have better options than Elordi. I don't want another Australian as Bond I'm not on the Elordi train either, but he does well in his acting. To his credit, you wouldn't know he…
  • 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.
