  • I think if they can find someone like Matt Reeves seems to be to the Batman franchise even just for Bond 26, then I think we'll be in for something good. I know I keep mentioning The Batman, but personally from what I've seen it seems to be a great …
  • Matt Reeves was quite the worthy investment :) Cannot wait for The Batman and all the other things he's got cooking.

  • I do think Logan Ash is deliberately Jack Lord-ish.
  • ‘Outlander’ Star Confirms He’s Been Secretly Cast in HBO’s ‘House of the Dragon’ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/outlander-graham-mctavish-house-of-the-dragon-1234954351/
  • There's nothing I love about Never Say Never Again, but it's more James Bond content so, of course, I enjoy it. It's just a completely different thing compared to the films of the official franchise. Even the ones made around the same time.
  • As well as completely going against what they'd set up, which is one of the main reasons for me Spectre is so frustrating, it completely undid the development between Bond and Mallory. A development I think could be somewhat similar to Bond and Nomi…

  • I think my own grievances with Spectre are built out of frustration for what could have been, given all the elements they had to work with, especially the cast and the clean slate they had ready for them with Skyfall's ending.
  • I think it could also very much be the case as films and television shows seem to be veering away from the origin story. It was an interesting exploration at the time of Casino Royale, but now, in a new era of cinema and even television, I think it'…
  • James Bond doesn’t usually make pop culture references so I think we’ll be fine, and anyway the world hasn’t changed that much since 2019.
  • Interesting stuff. Both look like worth additions.
  • As I've said before, what Cary seems to have done with what was given to him after Spectre, makes me all the more keen to see what he could do with a clean slate, but I know that he's such a creative guy, that I don't know if he'd want to do it agai…

  • We're spoilt for choice with this adventure :)

  • Didn't we see Fukunaga trying out drone footage in Norway? Back when they were location scouting.
  • It will be interesting to see where a long shot will be if we do indeed get one. Fukunaga is a very creative guy so it could be in any sequence or in any form. Although for some reason, I struggle to imagine one happening in Matera. I can't put my f…

  • I wouldn't be surprised if the shot where Bond bumps into Nomi in the Jamaican club is a one-shot. Might not be very long but could be cool.
  • I think one actress who deserves to be in a future James Bond adventure is Sonoya Mizuno. She's a British actress born in Japan and about to star in House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel. She's appeared in Fukunaga's Maniac, La La Land, C…
  • I mean at the end of the day, anything's possible, but personally, I struggle to see how the risks could outweigh the wins. To create a spin-off for a franchise that's nearly 60 years old and isn't really a "universe" when most franchises with the a…
  • For me: no hot drinks. I've never personally understood them. I don't find them satisfying or refreshing. I just enjoy a glass of cold (probably orange and pineapple) squash... :)

  • Great stuff @mtm! Lovely composition!
  • It reminds of the train sequence from Knight and Day, that film he did with Cameron Diaz which is actually good imo, although probably more of a guilty pleasure :D
  • Really cool seeing Callum working with Cary Fukunaga. This was on Cary's IG the other day. https://twitter.com/i/status/1390717838512459777
