  • If not Linus, in the case where Fukunaga would come back, Adam Arkapaw, cinematographer of True Detective, Macbeth, Assassin's Creed and The King could be suitable and could bring something new on the table.

  • As @mtm, I knew the treatment from The Making Of The Living Daylights. It seems there are some differences (I didn't remember the fact that Bond was hired because of his aviator skills) but not that much neither. Because it was a first draft, it'…

  • I wouldn't oppose something close to FYEO for Bond 26: a standalone, down to earth but with some levity, mission; without personal involvement for Bond at first, but with a reflection on his own condition that leads him to an intellectual confrontat…
  • In addition to "The Death Collector" mentioned by @Jordo007, I personally quite like "Choice of Weapons" from the DN novel.

  • Personally, I'm not against a new origin story (I even think it could be a good way to distance a new continuity from the Craig era and to build a solid foundation not just for the next actor, but also those who may follow him), however it may be re…

  • Regarding Madden, who has been mentioned several times, I think he could have been a frontrunner for Bond if he if he hadn't landed a role in a Marvel movie. It seems likely that The Eternals will be a box-office success and will lead to sequels. In…

  • StirredNotShaken wrote: » My issue is I really don't think TMWTGG should be done EXCEPT as an actor's exit from the role. That book sees Bond very much damaged beyond repair IMO. Then you can just have the next actor take on the role in an origina…

  • I'm really not a fan of the idea of bringing back a previous iteration of Bond, especially since there has been a change of continuity. While it may work for comic book properties, with all the Multiverse concept, it really seems a niche idea for Bo…
  • Not sure about the relevance of such pitch (old man Bond comes back for one last mission) as it could be argue it already was more or less the basis of Skyfall, while NTTD also seems to go in this direction. At this point, a new origin story for Bon…

  • Maybe is it controversial, but Bond 25 could take inspiration from the Michael G. Wilson Alfonse Ruggiero's treatment for Bond 17 and how it planned to reinvigorate the series. While the whole was far from perfect, it managed to come up with a block…
