  • My god that would be the dream wouldn't it? Campbell returning in his 80's to complete his trilogy and steady the ship one last time? I think no matter what the results were, I would have a smile on my face, and with Ridley Scott returning to Gladia…
  • I've been doing a bit of research into David Michod in the past few days, I watched the Rover which is a brilliant little film, and along with The King one of the best films I've seen recently. The more I think about it, the more it seems like Micho…
  • I don't see EON going with the director of Venom 3, that movie was a disaster critically, and apparently Berger is already ruled out? I've looked at the projects Michod has upcoming, one is a stoner comedy starring Pete Davidson which is already com…
  • Something to bare in mind - Indiana Jones was created as a homage to adventure serials of the 1930's, 50 years later. Bond has been running continually since 1962, in other words it would be like if The Last Crusade wasn't the final part in a trilog…
  • There's an added value element that Micod is currently making a biopic starring Sydney Sweeney as a female boxer, so maybe his involvement could spur EON to give her the lead Bond girl role. Eh, It's fun to speculate, anyway. :P
  • Well, we know something is causing the delay. Each time there has been a gap longer than 4 years between bonds ('89 - '95, '15 - '21), its always for a very specific reason. @007HallY I personally don't have a problem with the lesser known direct…
  • It's been over 1100 days since the last film arrived and we don't have as much as a "Bond 26 limited" as proof that the next film is being worked on yet. I think perhaps some of the rumours could have something to them, and perhaps EON knows who the…
  • I agree, the most important thing is that we get someone who takes risks. That's why I thought Damien Chazelle was at least worth considering - the film wouldn't be a typical blockbuster.
  • It's so difficult to actually figure who could direct Bond 26, it seems everyone is getting rather busy at the moment! Maybe EON needs to wait it out until someones schedule opens up, because at the moment Brad Bird is working on Incredibles 3, M…

  • That Bond girls are airheads or damsels, very seldom actually the case. Most are quite intelligent and capable.

  • Fun fact she had a brief blink and you miss it appearance in an episode of Monk back in the 2000's.

  • We'll be approaching the 1200 day mark by the end of the year, I wonder how much longer it is until we get something official? Another 300? If you thinking about it, whatever happens next year will mark the tipping point, where the grunt work is don…
  • By what criteria do we establish that there is a legitimate issue with a film that goes beyond just peoples preferences? Lots of people take issue with many of the choices with DAD for instance, but by your rationale the film just isn't to their tas…

  • Hollywood Reporter confirms it, Dune Messiah will be shooting in Summer 2025 for a 2026 release. Villeneuve is potentially back in the frame for Bond.

  • I don't mind the tone I just can't get over how disjointed the film feels, the sequence with Leiters death feels like is should be the end of act two raising the stakes, solidifying bonds resolve to track down Safin and put a stop to his plans, and …
