Also, it's interesting to point out that Davis and Osborne's draft shared a lot in common with Skyfall in its intentions, with Bond starting to feel tired, seeing the world grow old around him with Moneypenny being engaged, the Q department about to…

As @Denbigh , I think it seems clear that Pattinson is now completely out of the running, and, to be honest, I don't think he's ever been part of it: too well known for the role. On the other hand, since we are talking about The Batman, Nicholas Hou…

I allow myself to revive this discussion by suggesting a hypothesis that, if it is perhaps not the most realistic, could still have happened: what if Eon gained the rights to Casino Royale from Columbia before the late 90s but after the launch of th…

Maybe not as controversial as I think but I must say I would have preferred to see Xenia Onatopp as GoldenEye's main antagonist, instead of Trevelyan, who could have been forgotten. Not that he's an uninteresting bad guy, as he offered a very origin…

I've never seen him in anything, but he certainly has the physique for the role, and his young age is an undeniable quality if shooting for Bond 26 do not start before some years. The question is whether he has the acting abilities to play the part.

Heinrich Stockmann was the name given to Blofeld in an early Spectre draft. Not only do I think this is a good name for a Bond villain, but it also reflects, it seems to me, my interest in the complicated production of this film and, more broadly, t…

Personally, the title has never bothered me. I understand that it may seem modeled after Skyfall and lack poetry, but it pretty much sums up the dreary atmosphere that runs through the film, echoing with the cinematography and all the imagery linked…

While Denbigh and his Nine Eyes subplot were unnecessary, I think a pertinent place could have been given to them. It would have been a totally different movie, but the idea of revealing that C was Blofeld, or at least the leader of SPECTRE, as it…

Beyond the immediate problem posed by theatrical distribution, I think the immediate consequence for future movies will be a reduction in production costs, and Bond 26, regardless of its release date, won't be an exception. A budget like that of NTT…

I don't know if this name ever came up in this treat, but this fellow is not an unknown: what about Scott Z. Burns for Bond 26? Although he has only directed one movie (The Report, 2019), he has a long career as a screenwriter (The Bourne Ultimatum,…

All these discussions about Hardy and the argument made that he could only do a standalone movie considering his age made me think: 2022 will mark the sixtieth anniversary of the series and it seems to me unlikely that Bond 26 will be released on…

I guess this has been mentioned by others, but I would really like to see the return of a diverse world of espionage. If the CIA and Felix Leiter appeared two, and soon three, times in the Craig era, I find the latter lacks representatives of foreig…
