  • Legendary has already green-lit Dune: Messiah, and Villeneuves next project is already lined up. If he is going to direct Bond 26 the film has to come together VERY quickly. That being said, I heard the last draft of TND was completed August '97 and…

  • Another big one I forgot to mention, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. Amazing that so many reboots are coming in succession, and Bond is one of them. Exciting times.

  • Looks like Denis has passed on Bond 26, if he was ever involved to begin with. We're back to square one folks. He'll direct Messiah, then this new project. Buckle up, we're in for the long haul.

  • My one concern for ATJ is that if his "cor blimey" accent starts slipping in, like Connerys Scottish, and Daltons Welsh, then he could start to feel like Eggsys brother from the Kingsman series.
  • Sydney Sweeney for Bond 26! =P~

  • It may just be that Villeneuve is more willing to compromise and work on a vision together with EON.

  • Sydney Sweeney is like the new Monica Belluci, a Bond girl in waiting. She has a huge online following.
  • Denis Villeneuve, ATJ and Syndey Sweeney? Sign me up! >:D< Hopefully we can finally get this show on the road.

  • What I think the insightful discussion of the last fews days amounts to is that essentially the bond formula has a element added to it in the modern age, and that's an added layer of storytelling, whatever form that might take. Bond isn't simply cha…
