Doha 'nuther day.

The craft of storytelling is indeed lost, if we're holding up Bond and Nomi as the key to making a story compelling and engaging. Second only to the highly dynamic and exhilarating interplay between M and Denbigh in SP, I'm sure. :)) ;)

More people need to start thinking of "classic bond" as simply meaning bond in the here and now, not lamenting a tragic past involving growing up as an orphan, or grieving a lost lover, just present and engaged with the mission at hand. Ofcourse he …

It might be because of Casino Royale in 2006, but for some reason people started to believe that tragic pasts and damaged souls is the only way modern audiences can relate to and find a character truly sympathetic. For me, I don't like characters be…

Nolan for a July '28 release would be a welcome surprise at this point. Just had a video pop up on YouTube, "On set with Bond 25" I can't believe they were filming in Jamacia over 5 years ago. It's been half a decade since cameras rolled on a Bon…

If we're following the model of a pendulum swinging from light to dark and back again, then after Craig EON will be looking for a more traditional charismatic bondian figure, think Peirce or Roger. That's what's makes me certain that Sope is the one…

I'm almost certain Sope will be the next Bond because he's a charismatic black actor, and thats who the media thinks bond should be in this day and age, they've been banging on about it for years. I've been on a 80's Bond film kick for the past f…

Indeed Bond 26 will be less bloated than B25 without all the baggage of past characters, a more straightforward story with more focused action, but I doubt they will spare any expense when it comes to production.
-
Bond 26 will be go big or go home. They need to make a big splash after such a long absence, the marketing for the movie will be huge. I have a feeling Bond 26 could beat The Force Awakens to become the biggest UK boxoffice in history.

It's interesting how Martin Campbells name is still attached to Bond these days. I wonder if he's still interested?
-
My understanding was that EON will be looking for a younger actor next time to account for the longer gaps - someone in their early to mid 30's. This would future-proof them for at least the next 15 years, provided he is embraced by the public.
-
It has been becoming more apparent for a while, but with Calvin Dysons new video I think there is a general realisation and acknowledgement throughout the fandom that we might not be getting too many more bond films in the future, and we can't real…

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…
