  • James Bond: Resurrections As for unimaginative, but possible options, they could go with "The Secret Agent" or "Number 007" from the CR novel, "The High Table" could be interesting if they find a plot hook for it, as could "The Nature of Evil". …
  • So, for something else I was looking into the UK Company House database and it seems like there still is no company set up for the next film. "B26 Limited" and "Bond 26 Limited" exist but seem to have no connection to EON/Barbara Broccoli/Michael G.…

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_actors_considered_for_the_James_Bond_character Apparently Sean Bean was considered for GE, but MGM overruled Eon, which I find hard to believe given the well-known history Brosnan had with the role. I alwa…

  • That would be the screwiest of all "is this a new timeline/will they bring back actors" possibilities. Everyone is new and and Craig's run isn't mentioned at all, but Menzies plays a character named Villiers. Maybe have him be some politician outsid…

  • I honestly have no clue how Primo ended up in Jamaica. Why would he be tailing Leiter? To find Bond?
  • Denbigh wrote: » Ok going through it that part of the film quickly, the way it plays out I think makes it seem like Bond probably just did his own digging? Maybe he broke into Mallory's flat. Cause he knows more than just the name. The question…

  • I was suprised to see that he was 25. Would have put him closer to 30 and thought he would be 31/32 by the time B26 got rolling. As is, he probably is only a candidate if they go heavy on the origin aspect. Probably the first candidate I've seen on …

  • I wouldn't mind having a someone as Scaramanga the way Safin "was" Dr. No. Don't take the specific character and name, but scatter in some allusions here and there and work off of the characterization. In one of the comic shorts, there is an Argenti…
