  • Craig is only 2 weeks away from filming. He wasn't wearing a beard a few weeks back. He's grown it for a reason - for Bond 23. That's proof of nothing. For all you know, Craig grew the beard for the TINTIN premiere. He has got a habit of wearing a…

  • Craig's beard is trimmed and cared for - the look is totally deliberate this time. That assumes Craig will wear a beard. Which you don't know for sure. Just as doubleoego doesn't know for certain that Craig will not wear a beard. Craig is only …

  • Bond with a beard will not be just about creating a new look, it will be to do with the story and drama. Craig looks tough with the beard. Brosnan looked like a Yeti, but he was a prisoner. Craig's beard is trimmed and cared for - the look is tota…

  • Yes, I do think that is true. I'm in my mid-40's now and grew up with those Connery Bonds - saw ALL of them on the big screen, often re-release double bills which packed out the cinemas in the early 70's. GF was massively popular. Back then there …

  • GF a bore!???? It's a marvelous film. Hugely entertaining. Packed with classic moments and characters, memorable and witty dialogue, and iconic images. Superb title song, swinging score, genius production design. Connery is super cool and deadly. A…

  • Yes it would. Craig has said Mendes has re-read all the books and has a new angle. I wonder, and hope, Mendes has decided to focus on some of that unused Fleming material with Bond off duty.

  • Not sure about Bond becoming an alcoholic, bearded screw up, but I would love to see Bond in his Chelsea flat and off duty, like he was at the start of the books FRWL and TB.

  • Yes, they will save money with less globe-trotting. Production moves, particularly from one country to another, are very costly, plus add to the complexity of the schedule. Being heavily UK based and having limited production moves abroad will real…

  • And re: the lower budget. We must remember that OHMSS was a lower budget than YOLT, but look at the quality of that film. FYEO was lower budget than Moonraker. And I know which one of those I rate highest as a good Bond film.

  • No. I believe it's Istanbul, South Africa, London and Scotland, with studio work at Pinewood. Which is what has been reported here by Mi6 hq.

  • I suspect The Sun's report is half truths, rumour and speculation. I know several crew members already working on Bond 23 and it does seem that there is quite a lot of the story set in London and the UK (Scotland). The budget is tighter, but still …
