  • The first thing that tricked me today (April the 1st): https://reddit.com/r/oscarrace/comments/1bt1xnq/daniel_craig_sandra_hüller_burn_gorman_babs/
  • EON should post the following thing on instagram once April Fool's day is over: "BOND 26. COMING SOON" Just to build the hype. 😎
  • @DarthDimi if you don't see why Nolan is like a hundred times more suited to direct Bond than Guy Richie, Ken Russell, McTiernan or Zemeckis ever have been, I really don't know what to tell you. DEKE_RIVERS wrote: » Colonel_Venus wrote: » I…

  • Maybe EON don't want Nolan. -> entirely possible, but it would be exceedingly unreasonable Maybe Nolan doesn't like the way EON want to go. -> it would be a bad strategic move on EON's part to decide which way to go BEFORE hearing pitches f…
  • If we assume that EON really are trying to get Villeneuve to direct Bond 26, my question is: Why is EON trying to make the incredibly busy Villeneuve direct Bond 26 when Nolan, who would be an even better choice in pretty much every way has a comple…
  • All the complaining about ATJ feels exactly like all the complaining about Craig back in 2005 felt like. And back in 2005, I 100% supported Craig starting from the first rumours of his casting and I 100% support ATJ now.

  • People have often said that one of the reasons Nolan likely won't direct Bond 26 is that he co-produces his movies with his wife Emma Thomas, and that probably neither he would want to direct a film without her involvement nor EON would want her inv…

  • At this rate Nolan will release his next movie before Bond 26. And Nolan’s last movie was released one and a half years after NTTD!! Just to illustrate how incredibly slow EON are.
  • TENET II
  • To fill the gap between NTTD and Bond 26, EON should publish the Boyle/Hodge Bond 25 script. Make it an event!

  • EON didn’t need to screentest others to decide they wanted Craig. Sure they screen tested some others but only to placate MGM.
  • Barbara Broccoli talking about the time before Craig signed the contract: “We really wanted him. We only wanted him.” Me now, talking about the great Chris Nolan: “I really want him. I only want him.”
  • EON doing nothing for over two years then asking P&W to write the script would be a truly hellish nightmare scenario. The thought of this being a possible scenario genuinely fills me with pure terror.

  • @peter Why I think that at this point Nolan is more likely to direct than Villeneuve: - "Where there's smoke, there's fire" -> ATJ likely really is the frontrunner - but they don't start the Bond actor selection until a director is on board a…
