  • This will be me no matter what happens...
  • But I do think Purvis and Wade have had their successes too and if we're onto something and Denis does indeed direct Bond 26, he's also a writer so I think even if Purvis and Wade end up writing a draft, you can expect Denis to have his own input on…

  • I also have to mention quickly how much I appreciate how Denis handles female characters.
  • Do we think that maybe EON have been waiting for him? I mean given the writers strike delaying any script developments any writers or Denis himself could be involved in, the actors strike delaying Dune Part Two's release. It could line up if we want…
  • I mean without going into it too much, Dune Messiah is a project I imagine could probably benefit from a gap if Denis wants to go off and work on something else. It's not something he needs to rush due to the aging of actors at all. I know he's fini…
  • Exactly @DarthDimi @peter! Good directors shape themselves and their skills to a project and what it needs, they don't try and turn it into something its not and Villeneuve would be no different.
  • Sunday Nicholas Hoult - 7 Leo Suter - 68 Callum Turner - 56 (+1) Aidan Turner - 20 (-2) Theo James - 49 Sam Claflin - 23 None of the above - 24 ELIMINATED: 08. Jack Lowden 09. James Norton 10. Richard Madden 11. Henry Golding 12. …
  • Ooo forgot about this page. I'm just going to throw this into the ring. Nathan (Oscar Isaac) from Ex Machina. I don't wanna go too much into his character in case no-ones seen the film, but if you know you know.
  • I also think we're not considering that other eras had their successes and their failures. The problems within the James Bond series don't live and die on the Craig-era alone. If people are nervous regarding following the same path, then why are we …

  • If we get Denis can we also get Greig Fraser and Jacqueline West? 🙏
  • Oh for sure, I still love most of these movies. I don't think there's a Friday The 13th film I don't like, I just take that franchise as is and have a lot of fun, and I adore A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge and a few of the Halloween s…

  • 100% @peter For example, I think the infamously controversial shower scene in Skyfall could've been solved if they added just a little scene on the boat before the shower scene where Bond reveals he's aboard and then we get the opportunity to see…
  • The thing is EON's doomed for trying and doomed for not, especially here. If they rush out the first in the next era and its unsuccessful, then "they shouldn't have rushed" and "too soon after killing Daniel Craig". if they wait and its unsuccessful…
  • This actually makes me think, as horror fans, would you say that successful sequels (whether in terms financial, critical or general success amongst fans) is quite rare in the horror genre, especially for those bigger culturally iconic characters? O…
  • When it comes to the death of Bond at the end of No Time To Die, I think, why not? EON and Craig knew he wouldn't be coming back, no matter how much money was put in front of him, so why not explore that concept when you 100% know that the actor …

  • I think also given the context of how Styles was received as an actor, being laughed at and memed, do you run the risk of repeating that by giving him a large cultural role such as James Bond, especially with only Don't Worry Darling, My Policeman a…
  • When it comes to Don't Worry Darling, I definitely think the film is better than people make it out to be. Styles' acting is a bit rough but given at the time he was just starting out as an actor I give him somewhat the benefit of the doubt. I ac…
