  • TND had serious issues, plus Cubbys recent death and as a result I think EON shot from the hip and it turned out to be the most slick, bombastic bond films of the past 30 years - one of the best. In my opinion EON and Babs have been guilty of overth…
  • I think no matter what type of fan you are you will agree the next film HAS to be a truly great bond film after back 2 back 5+ year breaks to win the audience back over and revive the franchise again. There's no room for "slipups" as M would say. I …

  • I watched the aidan turner series the suspect, and the man definitely still has it. He would work brilliantly as a broader, Brosnan style bond with just a dash of the Dalton intensity.

  • I'm an admirer of Denis' work but to be honest I want him as far away from Bond 26 as possible. We just watched a 15 year long arc of a Bond who never quite got to be Bond, before watching him get incinerated, leaving his wife and young daughter to …

  • In order for 2026 to still be viable they would have to have a actor chosen and announced by next summer. I think a more realistic timeframe is the 007 game releases 2025, actor announced 2026, new film in late 2027/first half of 2028.
