  • I don't think it's a good strategy to explicitly chase a young audience, especially considering how rapidly both North America and Europe are ageing.

  • Honestly, I believe that if not Nolan, then Villeneuve would be the best choice to direct Bond 26. And I say that even though I really really want Denis to make Rendezvous with Rama next.

  • Maybe Villeneuve is the director? "I have four projects on the table, currently. One of them is a secret project that I cannot talk about right now, but that needs to see the light of day quite quickly." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movie…

  • Is anyone who isn't already a big Superman fan excited about this film?

  • So Sam Mendes will be very busy in the next 3 years so it looks like he won't be the director of Bond 26.

  • I will repeat my prediction from a couple of months ago: EON will produce a maximum of two more Bond movies. Artificial intelligence will soon completely reshape not only the entire film industry but humanity as well.

  • Bond 26 should be a faithful adaptation of Moonraker and should be titled "Moonraker". Or if the producers are afraid of reusing a title, they can always call it "Moonraker [release date]" (for example: "Moonraker 2026")

  • Does anyone here seriously find it likely that EON hasn't found their director yet? I find it more likely that they have, but have decided to keep it a secret for a little longer for some reason.

  • I think that even without Danny Boyle, NTTD had the potential to be one of the top 5 to 7 Bond films. Here is what I would have done to make it better without fundamentally altering the movie: - completely remove the Valdo character and as much o…

  • Something I really would love to see in BOND 26 are gadgets that are cool and realistic. Like tech that is not quite possible yet but likely will be a few years down the road. Such as full self driving car and an augmented reality head set that look…
  • Btw, if I had to pick between @peter writing of BOND 26, and Purvis & Wade writing BOND 26, I would pick Peter any time. I am 100% confident he would deliver a script that is better than anything P&W have written (except maybe for CR, but th…
