As far as DC's return an Bond is concerned, whilst he his contracted for at least one more movie, we all know that these things can turn out to fairly flexible and negotiable at the end of the day. My belief is that DC's decision to return as Bond m…

I think that QoS is one of the most underrated Bond movies -- certainly in recent years. It has been described as "underwhelming", "bland", and other disparaging terms by professional critics and fans alike. However, it's a movie that keeps drawi…

It's a blast from the past for me. In two weeks time on 26th October, I'll be going back to the Royal Albert Hall to see the premiere of SPECTRE. Many years ago, I used to work in an office overlooking this venue! I've already bought a new gown f…

A-hem! How about we get back on topic, folks? One thing we do know is that DC is contracted to do one more movie for Eon, so let's take that as read. this fact has been iterated and re-iterated throughout the media (trustworthy and otherwise) for…

I'd be quite surprised if the DB10 doesn't make an appearance; after all, it's been hyped enough in the media. It's the first time that Aston Martin have made a limited edition car exclusively for a movie, so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't com…

Don't let's forget that the source of this rumour in the Daily Express. This means that this is definitely a "yellow" story designed to stir up controversy and therefore sell more papers. It would be easier to divine more actual news from a DC comic…

Karnakata is a band I've been a fan of for a long time now, and I always thought this song sounded very Bondian. Obviously, at over six minutes in length, it would need substantial editing and re-recording to make the three and a half minute Bond fo…

Judging from "Writing's on the Wall", the titles are likely to be very different from many that have gone before. the song deals with a Bond that is very vulnerable, and this has never been one of the character's dominant traits. As the song is e…

Roger Moore (as he was then) began his career after leaving school as a tracer and filler-in for Publicity Picture Productions in London, and animations company. He originally wanted to be an artist of some sort.

@Getafix @Mendes4Lyfe Don't forget that a period Bond would not have the mass commercial appeal of a "present day" Bond. Such movies probably wouldn't stack up commercially due to the high expense of producing period pieces verses the lack of co…

The chances are that goodly portion of current forum members won't be around in 2040. Even the youngest members here today will, likely as not, be starting to pepper over on top by 2040. I will be very surprised if I'm still here, but that's mortali…

You also may not be dead, @Birdleson, but whatever happens, Bond will live on. What do you think he'll be doing?

@Gustav_Graves I think that the notion of Bond in Space had been done to death in YOLT and MR. I would be interested to know what possible plot device could exist to put our favourite hero on the International Space Station without sinking to pul…

I think guilt plays a very big part in the latest movies, CR, QoS and SF. Bond feels guilt for the death of Vesper, Solange, Mathis and now M. A lot of the drama in these movies hinges around Bond's ways of dealing with his guilt. Mathis said: "Forg…

Being a guitar player, if I were down to my last forty thousand dollars, I'd definitely make a bid for this. Sadly, I haven't got forty grand burning a hole in my pocket at the moment. However, whether I would ever play this instrument is uncerta…

Being a dyed-in-the-wool Fleming aficionado, I've always tread warily through the legacy novels after having been shocked at the poor writing of Raymond Benson -- after putting down one of his novels, I just didn't want to pick it up again. Ditto Se…

This is pretty much what goes down in the movie, as it is narrated in the movie. Other than a few proofing errors (whose, rather than who's etc.), it reads very well. However, in choosing to narrate the scene exactly as it is in the movie is not …

@timdalton007 This is a well-crafted and well-narrated story that hooked me from beginning to end. Aside from a few proofing errors here and there, the prose is polished in a way that only Fleming new how to do. It was good also to see Bond invol…

The way I see it is this: what would be the point in Eon fighting long and hard and ending up paying a lot of money for the right to use the character of Blofeld if they didn't intend to use it? If a commercially motivated company pays millions of d…

I don't think any of the inheritance novels will ever make it to the screen. EON owns the film rights to the character of James Bond and ancillary support characters, such as M, Moneypenny, Bill Tanner etc. It does not own the film rights to the …

Connery This was our first introduction to Bond in the movies, and after this moment the world would never be the same again. I like the way Bond casually lights his cigarette, looks up and (this is the essential bit) pause... Bond. James Bond. Exc…
