Craig's abject commercial failure outside of Bond doesn't help. I think it's probably fed some insecurities he has as well. He's bound up in this huge commercial machine - Bond - and he knows that when he leaves it his career is going to be in a …

Perhaps it was over the requirement for some big set-piece actions sequences? To be honest, most of the action in Bond has felt bolted on for years now. It rarely flows from the plot like it used to back in the day. I can imagine Boyle not wan…

Is @bondjames moonlighting for the Hollywood Reporter? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/why-james-bond-should-leave-daniel-craig-past-1136495 There is the ring of truth about this article.

At this point I'd welcome a film directed by almost anyone. Just not Mendes. I've advocated Ron Howard for a while. I wonder whether he'd consider it after salvaging Solo. I doubt he wants to be known as a salvage man but the temptation to have d…

I'd like Ridley Scott or Ron Howard to step in but suspect the chances are slim. Okay, more like zero. It's going to have to be an older journeyman director or hungry young talent.

Campbell does a job but his films are often a bit plodding. Any way he's not coming back while Craig is Bond IMO. None of this reflects well on Craig or EON. The stories about people falling out on set. Seems like Craig had fallings out with C…

that's pretty shocking. back to the Purvis and Wade YOLT script? would love to know what Boyle had proposed. There has to be a possibility now that we don't get a 5th Craig film I reckon.

I know. Clive Owen is so down beat. Would have made Craig Bond seem like a barrel of laughs. May be McGregor would have been alright.

I felt Last Jedi was superior to The Force Awakens. Adam Driver is probably the stand out performance in these new films. No surprise there I suppose - he's proven he's an excellent actor across a wide range of genres now. I don't hold out much hope…

I reckon the idea they will choose an ‘unknown’ is misplaced.

So is Mark Tildesley definitely confirmed for B25?
-
The plot is definitely more interesting than the Force Awakens (which is just a rehash of A New Hope). I’m probably alone in this but I felt the Last Jedi felt a little mid budget - charmingly so in a way. It was quite refreshing that it wasn’t j…

I think this is where Arnold may have the edge on some other composers. He has a track record of collaborating with and producing other artists. He is the only who can bring that Barry ability to work the theme song into the entire score. He did …

I hope Mendes buys one and never comes near a Bond film ever again

Yes Hardy is an odd one. I disagree that he's too street. He's grown on me a bit recently after watching Taboo and Dunkirk. Prior to that I literally hadn't been able to understand a word he said in any of his films - Batman, Mad Max, the Reverent e…

He'd definitely make a good henchman.
