Someone needs to write a full on essay about what cinematic Bond is all about, because under my definition die another day, inspite of its flaws, in far more successful cinematic Bond than QoS is, but it can be hard to put into words. One aspect of …

The trouble is EON hired dramatists to insert humour and playfulness back into bond, that was never going to end well. Having said that, I believe at the start of a new era it's crucially important to bed an actor into the role correctly, and win…

After Craig we NEED a Bond with flair, ATJ fits that mould.
-
I think the problem is everyone is trying to think outside the box, expecting EON to pull another Craig, when if the past has taught us anything it's that EON don't work in a predictable pattern, they adapt. ATJ might well be exactly what they are l…

Huh? I'm out of the loop clearly, aren't deadline reputable?

I can easily see ATJ in a Edgar Wright directed bond film playing the Simon pegg role.

My ideal schedule for the future would be: Villeneuve or someone else directs bond 26 for a Oct/Nov 2026 release. Edgar Wright directs bond 27 for a Oct/Nov 2028 release. I'm convinced Edgar Wright will direct a Bond film at some point in t…

This is one of the few ironclad laws of the bond fan community: If an actor is getting a lot of buzz that you don't particularly like, you say they're the next Clive Owen, and If someone else has a dislike of an actor that you think is right you …

The problem is screenwriters, for whatever reason have lost the art of subtlety in their scripts, so what was once communicated through the actors performances, or through a single line now has pages of dialogue to hammer home to the audience what t…

After mulling it over alot, and seeing the reception Dune part 2 is getting, it does seem like Denis Villeneuve could be THE director of the 2020's. I'm officially sold on him directing Bond 26, as I believe he would bring back the world of Bond th…

Another youtuber, this time Robert Meyers Burnett, has categorised the difference between Denis villeneuve and Christopher Nolan as such: "one is a lover (romantic) and speaks French, the other is a thinker". I like this, and I suppose by that disti…

I saw a youtuber late last year say that as long as there's an announcement by the end of April then we're on track, and I've been using that as a guideline ever since. If we get to May 1st and there's still no word it's probably time to start panic…
