  • Happily my first choice is Edgar Wright and has been for a long time. My second choice switches, but right now I'd say Martin Campbell. I like Edgar Wright because he has that thing that underrated director Guy Hamilton had, of setting up and pay…
  • I wonder if bringing Nolan on board might lead to the first Summer Bond flick since LTK? July 2026, that's a couple months shy of 5 years since NTTD. Makes sense.

  • If Villeneuve is the director of Bond 26 it'll have to happen before summer 2026 to fit his schedule. We could be days away from some big news dropping...
  • I had no idea that guy was only 9 years older than Judi Dench!! Maybe Judi could have taken over from Bernard Lee after moonraker, and played M from 1981 - 2015.
  • Edgar Wrights Running Man script has been in development for years now, and there's an expectation the film will be released next year, given that's when the original story was set - the far distant future of 2025. That being the case, Edgar would b…
  • Hey, if it works for shrek.

  • Legendary has already green-lit Dune: Messiah, and Villeneuves next project is already lined up. If he is going to direct Bond 26 the film has to come together VERY quickly. That being said, I heard the last draft of TND was completed August '97 and…

  • Another big one I forgot to mention, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. Amazing that so many reboots are coming in succession, and Bond is one of them. Exciting times.

  • Looks like Denis has passed on Bond 26, if he was ever involved to begin with. We're back to square one folks. He'll direct Messiah, then this new project. Buckle up, we're in for the long haul.
