  • Chris Nolan and his wife were spotted in Venice. Then again, they are there probably only for vacation and not for location scouting for Bond 26 or a non-Bond movie as they were spotted there without a production designer, cinematographer, AD or co-…

  • On a more serious note, how involved do you think Bezos will be in the making of Bond 26? Apparently he was pretty involved in the Lord of the Rings TV show. https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisadellatto/2022/08/31/heres-how-involved-jeff-bezos-was-in…

  • Do people at the Sun really sometimes just sit down and completely make up stories? I mean them hearing insider rumours about AJT and reporting it as a done deal is different from completely making it up. If they completely make up stories, how is t…

  • One of my favourite Hollywood journalists, Jeff Sneider talked about the ATJ rumour on the Hot Mic podcast today. Interestingly, even though he believes the Sun article is complete BS, he does believe ATJ is the frontrunner.
  • ATJ is clearly very comfortable giving interviews. And he seems to be much more comfortable in his own skin than Craig. And I am saying this as a big Daniel Craig fan!

  • Blast from the past: "The Sun (UK) claim today [April 6th, 2005] that Daniel Craig has been picked by producer Barbara Broccoli to become the sixth James Bond 007 in a three-film deal." https://www.mi6-hq.com/news/index.php?itemid=2291 And unlike…

  • Regarding the BBC denying the ATJ rumour: Back in 2005, just TWO days before Craig was officially announced, apparently EON claimed that no decision had been made yet: https://www.mi6-hq.com/news/index.php?itemid=2889 I am not saying that the ATJ…
  • But nobody is saying there will be a coronation! Nobody claimed that ATJ was selected before a director.
  • I really don’t think the Craig pick was finalized until October 2005. Yes, he was already very much the front runner in spring 2005, but if he had signed the contract in spring 2005 I don’t think they would have waited like half a year to announce …
  • @peter But if this is true that the rumour about his 2022 screen test is probably true, too. And if this is true, they likely have a script and a director, and it’s just that we don’t know about it yet. Maybe they don’t want to announce the direc…
  • @SIS_HQ Will they pick the Bond actor before the director? You are right, they won’t. But it’s entirely possible that they will announce the director and the actor at the same event.
