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…

I'm hopeful EON does what they do best when they find themselves in this position. They go back to Fleming. An updated version of Fleming's Bond for today's audiences could be the way to go. Add characters like May and Sir James Molony perhaps. I…

The biggest issue I have with Callum Turner is that he doesn't look tough enough. All the other areas he ticks all the right boxes, but he doesn't have that hard edge. He doesn't have that blunt instrument killer look. That's not to say he doesn't …

Trouble is @DarthDimi I’d be lost without mine. And she knows it.

I have a two week window between my old job and starting my new job. Mrs. Benny has a list of chores she wants done during this time. It's lucky that I love her, or else weeding the garden and sorting out the spare room would be placed on hold. Fi…

Wonderful game as usual @GoldenGun thank you for hosting. TLD didn't rank quite that highly for me, I had it at no.4 spot. Still a cracking pts. GF was my gold medal pts, followed by GE and TSWLM. 25. CR'67 24. LALD 23. TMWTGG 22. DAF 21. T…

Saltburn (2023) I went into this with high expectations, having seen glittering reviews and general buzz. Then I saw the film. What a load of pretentious overly artsy shite! There was nothing clever about this film. There are a few shocking sce…

Isn’t that not only what GE did, but without the mentor, but also Silva in SF. Bond going up against a former agent. It’s not a bad idea, and it does have scope.

I like the stripped back idea, when they have no where to go, EON of old would sometimes go back to FRWL as the basis of the story. I’d like a spy thriller. Cloak and dagger stuff, with well written characters. It doesn’t have to be globetrotting …

Peter Crombie who played 'Crazy' Joe Davola on Seinfeld sadly passed away on the 10th of January. He played a small but very memorable role of Joe Davola in several episodes of the popular comedy show. RIP

Funny Theo James name has been mentioned in here. I just watched the trailer and thought the exact same thing. Seems us Bond fans have an eye and an ear for such things. I don't think an actor at 39 should be ruled out just yet. I guess it depends…

If finding a suitable young actor is hard. ( For us fans it seems to be, it may not be for EON and the casting director) Then what about going for an older actor. Also, following on from Daniel Craig could be a hard act to follow. But what if the a…

LTK is the odd one out as both GF and OP have Pts that has nothing to do with the rest of the film?

Sope Dirisu is 6’1” or 185cm Perfect height for Bond. Also has a masculine voice. Great actor and Bondian qualities. He ticks all the right boxes.

Spielberg made it very clear in the 70’s and 80’s at the height of his film making fame that he wanted to direct a Bond film. Obviously that never happened. Maybe EON will pick Chris Nolan to direct Bond film. Then again, it’s possible that they …
