Media shakedown. If it’s not ATJ maybe they can get EON to say who it really is, and if it is him, then it is a scoop. Either way they get column inches for a couple of days — including printing the denial (that wasn’t a denial, when you look at wha…

Bond is SIS, not Five. The problem with Bond in Britain is that it isn’t where he is supposed to be working — to all intents, in SF and SP he (and others) are rogue operators. But then, arguably, Fleming (and the MI6 of the films) was always writing…

The Craig era, for good or ill, is where Bond almost always *lost*. CR — lost QOS — win, and no score draw on the ongoing stuff SF — outright loss. Doesn’t matter that baddie died, he had one goal, and he achieves that SP — a win. Completed only…

It’s easy enough to write a way in for him to have survived. And even a way to deal with Heracles, and *even do it in a way that makes for an exciting story hook*. But — I doubt Craig wants another rodeo.

Everything about the film — the joke with the soup, the way Safin was growing and harvesting Heracles (whose name applies to so many bits of the film it’s funny) basically screams ‘Programmable Virus’ rather than *just* nano machines (which is basic…

The thing to remember about Slow Horses, is that a *lot* of that comes from the books. (It starts like almost a Spooks fan-fic, with a hint of Ashes to Ashes) But the TV series has evened a lot of stuff out for the screen — including changing the Bo…

Eh. Ok. I’ll do it. Write the film, direct the film. Won’t sing the theme tune though. I’m cheap as well, so think of how much money will make it up on screen.

Of course, in the Seventies, no one wanted to watch James Bond starring The Saint…. Oh. None of the Bond actors, except Lazenby, have been complete unknowns. Oddly, Brosnan was closest — Remington Steele wasn’t exactly a big thing in the UK, in fa…

Spy stuff is bigger than it’s been in years atm, Bond played a part in that. Plenty of kids will move from Young Bond and Alex Ryder onto big boy Bond. There’s a renaissance in the harder, Le Carre stuff — Night Manager, and now Slow Horses. There’s…

They’ve had SF elements since Dr.No. Or at least would have more obviously if they had went with Honey having a problem with giant radioactive crabs.

It’s ’alternate universes’ outside of the narrative. Or, to put it a simpler way, different adaptations of the same literary character. There is *not* a Jack Ryan Multiverse. There is not even an Anne Of Green Gables multiverse, or a Sherlock Holm…

Cavill is still by far the best choice. Sorry. *shrug*

They aren’t literal brothers.

Need to know how much money the last film made before budgeting the next, and know what worked with the audiences.
