  • Benny wrote: » Well written post @Reflsin2bourbons Bond isn’t really aimed at 12-16 year olds. I see it as more of a more mature adult, middle aged couples, maybe men in their late 20’s who probably got hooked when Pierce starred in GE. I don’t t…
  • I wonder if you got a group of teens in the 12 to 16 age group and asked them basic things like "which character is known for driving an aston martin?" or "How does James Bond like his Martinis?" How many of them would actually know. How many would …
  • If there isn't a new Bond film until 2028, then that means the amount of time between Brosnans last film and the 7th actors first film is equivalent to the same time between Raiders of the lost Ark and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. EON will run the …
  • I told you, we won't see B26 until 2028 at the earliest. The idea that EON were going to decide on where to take the series, write and finalise a new script, find a director, cast the film including a new Bond, go into production, wrap shooting, edi…
  • At least we have something to discuss. >:) :D

  • Indiana Jones and the Date with History.
  • What I want from Bond 26 on a basic level, is a straightforward story, with a clear tangible threat that bond has to solve. No ghosts emerging from the past, stepping out of "the shadows", no bond becoming jaded with MI6 and going into hiding, no sc…
  • What do you think of Indiana Jones and the Ancient Skull Kingdom instead of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
  • One thing is absolutely certain, if P+W are involved the villain will have a familial connection to one of main cast, despite them not actually being related.
  • I've just had a brainwave, based on the last exchange "next time, stay longer" that Paloma says to Bond, there's really no reason why Paloma couldn't be brought back as a main Bond girl (or even just a recurring side character) and I even think such…

  • I think a big part of it is how much the characters context of what they've been through gets in the way of them being an engaging presence for the audience. When you talk about Pussy Galore being well rounded, notice how everything you mention is e…

  • 007HallY wrote: » I wouldn’t really call Paloma a ‘typical’ Bond girl for a few reasons. Firstly because there’s a wide range of Bond girls, and it’s not unheard of for them to have tragic backstories or elements to them - Honey, Tracy, Domino, An…
  • People really responded well to Ana De Armas, I think B26 needs another engaging, colourful Bond girl like that. When you talk about the typical "Bond Girl", Ana was much closer than we've seen in a long time. Severine, Madeline, Camille, Lucia all …

  • People might say that my posts are nothing but incoherent rambling, but look, here's two of the top Bond influencers talking about which generation Bond 26 belongs too, not a week or two after I raised the point of this very site.
  • The trouble is what if the movie is successful and they want to make a sequel? Do they call it "from the world of John Wick: Ballerina Chapter 2, or just Ballerina Chapter 2?
  • We aren't likely to see Bond 26 until 2028 unfortunately. Barbara is busy with othello and as Calvin Dyson points out they need some kind of plan in place because Micheal Wilson won't see out the next era as a main producer.

  • Can't wait for the trailer today, feels like the start of a complete cinematic revival leading into 2025, new Jurassic World, new DC cinematic Universe, the next Mission Impossible, New Wolfman, new Naked Gun. The next era of Hollywood begins now.
  • This is not a drill - the trailer for John Wick: Ballerina starring Ana de Armas releases tomorrow. :x
  • I didn't realise MI:8 is releasing in May next year, we should get a teaser in the next month or 2. Also I always thought this would be the conclusion to the story but apparently Cruise wants to keep going. As long as they can maintain the qualit…
