  • According to Heyman there is "no timeline" on when the next film will be released or made. https://comicbook.com/movies/news/james-bond-26-release-date-gets-disappointing-update-but-it-makes-sense/

  • Is Magda loyal to Octopussy or is she supposed to be a Soviet who is willing to die to make sure that Octopussy doesn't leave and everything goes according to plan? I feel like who she is working for is never resolved a lot like Wint and Kid in DAF,…
  • Has anyone ever noticed how the Actors second films is always either the most serious or light hearted entry of their era? From Russia With Love - most serious 60's Bond The Man With The Golden Gun - most light hearted 70's Bond License To Kill…

  • Edgar Wright's new movie is recieving huge acclaim from critics, and that is much more of a traditional action film than he's done in the past. seems like he isn't such a bad choice to direct Bond after all.

  • Interesting video
  • And so is Dragonpol! Among the wittiest of members over the years, also @Thunderfinger and @Birdleson
  • I thought it was a nice touch giving Carrie Fisher top billing on the Rise of Skywalker poster.
  • I really feel Edward Bergers is perfect for Bond 27, if you look at Ballad of a Small Player and All Quiet On The Western Front, they couldn't be more different stylistically. That's what made me think, we don't need an auteur or a workman director…

  • according to screenrant Jeff Bezos is very interested in seeing Sydney Sweeney in the Bond movie, apparently they are friends and she attended his wedding. Also her statements appear odd like she knows more than she is letting on, but that doesn't n…

  • David Michods new movie about the female boxer Christie Martin stars Sydney Sweeney, and there's already awards season buzz for her performance.
  • Does anyone think Rey and Kylo Ren taking over the galaxy and restoring order, at least for a while, would have been a cool direction to take the story?

  • The only way I could see Bond 26 being something that would excite me would be if Villeneuve himself was so burnt out from filming the Dune trilogy, and the dense storytelling, rich lore and multitude of characters that he finds he needs to let his …
  • 007HallY wrote: » Ok... I suppose to that I'd ask what do you believe are Villeneuve's ideas on humanity that he mediates on in his work? Because I have no idea what it has to do with everything else you've just written if I'm completely honest…
  • One constant that runs through all of Villeneuve's is they are psychologically complex and dense mediations on humanity, that's why I don't think he is right for Bond, because no matter how well Knight does with his script, I don't think that's some…

  • Sydney Sweeney is perfect for a comedic Bond girl role, sort of like Christmas Jones done right. Plus she's absolutely stunning. :x https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025/10/27/sydney-sweeney-next-james-bond/
