  • It's starting to make sense now because Denis Villeneuve said his secret project had to happen "quite quickly", or something to that effect. That quote never sat right with me because for someone like Denis November 2026 is a long time away, at it u…

  • I'm honestly just hoping the rumour is true just so something can finally happen with bond 26. It's been 2.5 years since Bond 25 released, 4.5 years since wrapped filming. If ATJ is the next Bond, then surely they have their director and some outlin…
  • We can move on, but just for the record, yes, bladerunner 2049 would've been a better film had denis villenuve been given 250 million to realise his vision as opposed to 170 million. There is not some hidden law written into nature that indicates to…

  • People don't get it. I would love it if the next Bond film was made for 150 million and then the 70 to 100 million saved went in to financing 5 or 6 lesser budgeted films with cool concepts that showed promise, but that's not the reality we live…

  • I feel like hiring Villeneuve and then giving him a 150 million budget to make a Bond film is a big blunder. If they want to downsize on budgets, it's better to go with someone like Campbell IMO. A villeneuve bond film should be epic on grand scope,…
  • The Batman 2 just stole bonds usual october/Novber slot in 2026. I wonder if they might consider a Apirl release like they had for Bond 25?
  • This is my shot in the dark: EON were pursuing Denis Villeneuve but he decided his schedule is just to busy, so they drafted in Nolan before he moved onto another project. We'll see...

  • For me "quite quickly" in Villeneuves terms is not November 2026. He completed Dune 2 in 2 years (sans delay), and until recently he made a new great film with stunning regularity. I just don't see him using the phrase "quite quickly" to refer to No…
  • If Villeneuve is planning on squeezing in bond before Messiah, then that means an announcement can't be far away. I remember when they announced Superman Legacy it was Feb 2023 (I think), for a July 2025 release, everyone said "holy moly, that so…
