  • This news regarding lack of sales for Forever and a Day is worrying. There wasn’t much marketing at all for Forever and a Day though. I just hope IFP hang on to Horowitz. I can’t see any other author enjoying more sales for a Bond book either unless…

  • I shouldn't have watched that Norway clip. Well, that's the last time...no, I meant it! :) Looks like a personal story again but seeing nothing much was done with the Spectre angle in Bond 24 then I guess it could be a good thing to expand on al…
  • Well, I finally finished reading Cole's last Young Bond effort, "Red Nemesis". Thoroughly enjoyable but my favourite in his series is "Heads You Die". Overall, he did a fine job with his Young Bond series. I wouldn't say that they're better than Hi…
  • Rest In Peace Mr. Walker. What a waste that ‘Only Myself To Blame’ wasn’t used during the end credits of TWINE. Instead they chose to use that horrifying techno mess. They should use ‘Only Myself To Blame’ for the ending of another Bond film.

  • Plus, whenever someone chats about Bond 25, it would be so much easier just to type www. ;)
  • That fan made ‘Shatterhand’ poster looked much nicer without her writing on it. :) No offense to Ms. Broccolli of course. Don’t know why they can’t call it ‘World Without Want’ - the name of the pub that Bond went to in the book, Moonraker.
  • @QBranch Here’s hoping but Bond is producer driven... I hadn’t realized Malek was an American. I always thought he was British for some reason.

  • It’s going to feel strange attending the Bond 25 screening in April; for so many years the films have been released close to Christmas. I count October as being close to Christmas. If I’m not mistaken, the last Bond film that wasn’t released in the…
  • If the working title is Shatterhand (don’t know if this is true or just a rumour) then I won’t be surprised if the real title turns out to be Shatterhand. Reverse psychology - making everyone think that it will be something different. :)

  • After all these years, Purvis and Wade’s dialogue skills still haven’t improved much. :)

  • Let’s just hope it’s not a personal revenge story again. Never seen any of True Detective but I hear that season one is excellent. Good lord, a Bond flick in February. Has history been made?! :)
  • Sounds like Boyle wanted to be more faithful to the books which I’ve always wanted but Eon won’t have it. Disappointing. The films will never be as good as the Fleming books. https://www.mi6-hq.com/news/danny-boyle-says-being-a-bond-aficionado-m…
  • Yann Damage control...
  • Heard the news on the radio this morning. I can’t help but wonder if Boyle wanted to mash things up a bit and Eon wanted to churn out the same old thing and stick to the tried and tested formula. If this is the case, then it would certainly be disa…
