Part of me thinks that if Barbara is tied up with Othello for most of 2025, rushing out a Bond film in 2027 might not be the best plan. No one likes waiting, least of all me, but having already waited for such a long time (I've been hoping for a new…

Interesting, so it appears the "creative vision" could be what's holding things up at present? :-?

I don't think anyone would have any problem if people said look, they made the Craig films the way they did because it played to his strengths, and just like the other actors sometimes that works out well (Casino Royale, Skyfall), and sometimes it d…

If The Spy Who Loved Me were made today, there would be a 5 minute scene, probably after Bond kicks Jaws out of the window on the train, where Anya breaks down in front of James, and tells him about losing her partner in the weeks prior, and Bond, n…

I understand and appreciate that Bond needs something beyond just a ticking clock to struggle against in order for a film to be truly satisfying on an emotional level, and that doesn't always have to mean losing a loved one either (although I'm unsu…

Something that gives me hope for the future is, because there's so few entries in the past 20 years, and the ones we have had reused a lot of the same tropes, it feels like there are alot of possible directions they can go now which won't feel simil…

Out of interest what makes you say that? :| peter wrote: » (with, I strongly believe), a release in 2027.

When people talk about just making a contemporary, relevant Bond film which doesn't pull too far in any particular direction but strikes a good balance, I think of The Living Daylights. That film is very contemporary, but it is subtle about the way …
-
In many ways The Living Daylights is the perfect bond film in that it encapsulates the day in the life, breezy bond adventure with just enough of the Moore Over-The-Top cheese, and just enough of the Daniel Craig grounded grittiness. It has quite a …

And we agree that stylistically B25 and SP were a step in the right direction, closer to more traditional bondian territory. Rami Malek is a lot more of the typical cartoonish bond villain, who seems to only exist in the context of being evil. Ana d…

Making something "more relevant" and "appealing to young people" are basically the same thing. Young people tend to drive popular culture because they have the most time and fewest responsibilities. The changes you would make to a peice of media to …

Designing films to bring in a new audience every few years is literally how EON has been able to be so successful for the past six decades. You can call it "moving with the times" if you want, but it's just a different way of describing the same phe…
