  • April is over, according to the guy from youtube we should now officially have the name of a writer or director working on Bond 26. What happens next is anyone's guess, hopefully there's an announcement on James Bond day this autumn.

  • Certain plot holes don't bother me with Bond films. Silva clearly did not think james bond would be standing there when he blew up the tunnel. That was to cause an commotion and draw police away from the hearing, so he could slip in. The fact that b…

  • The biggest problem is that people think a move towards humour is a move towards silliness, and going back to 80's Roger Moore territory feels like a regression. But for me at least the comedic side of Bond has the most potential, especially after h…

  • I think one way or another, whether it be a return of the broad Roger Moore style humour, or something new like "the menu" and mylods sharp wit, the films will go in a more comedic, zany direction. If die another days surfing sequence was a "jump th…

  • Mark Mylod might mean we get Anya Taylor-Joy as the bond girl since they worked together on The Menu. When we talk about a more playful, snappy tone but keeping a grounded feeling - that seems to suit Marks style very well. Also, just like actors…

  • I noticed Mark Mylod hasn't got another film on the go after The Menu (2022). If EON want a less prestige name than Nolan or Villeneuve, but still having some pedigree, perhaps he could be on the radar?

  • If Ben Whishaw isn't continuing as Q I nominate Brain Tyree Henry as the next Q. I always perk up when he's on screen. We could even have a lemon and tangerine reunion from bullet train. :-bd Edit : Oops this was meant for the Bond 26 thread, so…

  • You might not agree but I don't think there's anything word-salad about what I'm saying. Austin Powers was released in 1997 and by 2002 EON felt that the audience had become wise to the tropes and there was a certain irony you couldn't escape fro…
