  • It's one of the defining qualities of most of the best Bond scores. And yes Arnold knows this.

  • DC came over better in some of the other recorded interviews. But let's face it he's not Mr charisma in an interview. He ums and ahs a lot and really struggles to convey energy and enthusiasm. He's probably rather private and introverted. Is he r…

  • MGW said at the start they wanted him to do 7. I think as far as Babs is concerned she has her perfect Bond. He could easily have done 7 the times he's had in the role.
  • Come off it. He starts the film shacked up with Maddy and ends it with a kid with someone else. All in one movie? Total garbage.
  • I don't have an issue with Arnold. His best work is very good. And I like it when he's given the chance to work on the title track and work the themes into the score. Worked brilliantly on CR (although much less so with TWINE). TND would have been m…
  • I don't think David Arnold himself can exactly be described as a 'Bond tradition'. Apart from actual facts about the production most of what was said was waflfe and hot air. Saying you respect tradition could mean anything. I'm sure Tamahori made…

  • I've never seen him in anything but the clips on here suggest to me that he will do a decent job. A tad young perhaps but I like his manner and his voice - has the potential to be a top notch creepy villain.

  • Amusing to see Lashana and Naomi trying to out do each other on the "I have Jamaican heritage" stakes. As I've said already I do hope they manage to include some actual Jamaican bit parts to add some genuine local flavour. Dr No had some great li…

  • The cast do seem very young. Although Decnik and Wright can obviously hold their own with Craig. Craig is looking old and puffy so hope he doesn't look ridiculous amongst all these young looking women. I thought the Monica Bellucci casting in SP…

  • Will Maddy be there at the end I wonder...? I can't see him ending up with any of the other new female cast. So he either dies, ends up alone, or they wrap it up with him and Maddy again at the end.
  • The 'secret weapon' nonsense is always just a bit of a McGuffin. The meat is in the character interactions, dialogue and visuals. Hoping Cary hits it out of the park. I've never even seen Malik talk before. I thought his little snippet suggested …
  • The Rory Kinnear video is priceless. Has that been posted on 007.com? Hilarious if so.
  • Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherou…
  • Rather an amateurish production. You'd think they'd make these things a little slicker. Still, I'm liking what looks like it will be quite an extensive Jamaica shoot - really hope they make good use of the wider locations available. Glad there do…
  • How do we watch if we're not in the UK or and US and don't have access to GMA or GMB?
