I liked Deaver‘s update of the MI6/00 section background. I’ve written about this ad nauseam here and it’s all fictional anyway, so who cares, but MI6 is so big and it’s Head so well known that it and they are hardly the shadow warriors of Fleming‘s…

Just started watching SAS:Rogue Heroes and I’d be a-ok with Connor Swindells as Bond. Maybe he doesn’t have the resume but he sure looks and sounds the part. (And while we’re at it, get Jack O‘Connell in the franchise, too. I don’t have him as Bond…

Just got around to reading For King and Country #1. Really high-Level but nothing spectacular so far, I’d say. A whole lot of set-up with some good action and great character beats to make the exposition go down a bit smoother. The author just reall…

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/apr/14/im-building-a-patchwork-quilt-nicholas-hoult-on-fame-fatherhood-and-playing-draculas-wingman Short interview piece with Hoult. No mention of Bond, but from what he's saying, it doesn't sound like he'd …

Compare and contrast that with their plan for Citadel, as per the THR piece posted here: A far more costly and troubled production was the Russo brothers’ Citadel, which debuts on April 28. Anthony Russo says Salke first approached AGBO, the Russo…

The question then is whether BB is satisfied now that there are at least real movie people at MGM eventhough they still have to report to Amazon Studios and Salke as CEO of that? I somehow can't imagine she would try to push her out completely. How …

I somehow feel like something like this would be better served by a comic, but I don't mind a novella (and the upcoming comic run is called "King and Country", so maybe it will go in a similar direction). I haven't read the Young Bonds, but peopl…

"Bond never cared about continuity, but then they changed the continuity, so now I'm mad." But yeah, it's a pretty funny read if you've spent any time on here. Some of it feels like it's a direct copy and paste out of this thread and some others. I…

I have been saying for a while that they should just steer into Bond films re-telling the same types of stories over and over again. For me, the fun is in recognising the difference in the sameness if that makes sense. I look at Bonds as almost like…

Just started The Night Agent on Netflix. It's all very contemporary American airport bookshop conspiracy thriller, but solidly made. Think the Gray Man with less budget and better performances. The review that convinced me to give it a shot said som…

Weren't Skyfall through NTTD already soaked in about as much 60s nostalgia as a modern film could support? I guess you could do the Archer thing and just pick and choose which aspects of what era you want to use with basically no rhyme or reason or …

For those not willing to click through, it seems like the multi-language aspect is that the book is fully in English and then there's a QR code to a kind of e-book (?) in French, German and Spanish. I'm seriously tempted as well. I've had the big…

BTW when did Nolan say the thing about having an idea but it would need to be a reinvention or whatever it was?

The video game is a bit tricky, I think. You're not wrong that a high profile Bond release in a different medium would be a tide that lifts all boats. On the other hand IOI - the game's developer - has stated that they got the go-ahead from Eon and …

I know this isn't the thread for that but @Mendes4Lyfe kind of got to me right now. If Nolan does indeed get the director's chair and they at least take his input on casting, does that mean Tom Hardy's odds are suddenly sky-rocketing out of the base…
