I'm not saying Nolan will be the guy, but I think reports that he has left the picture have been greatly exaggerated. I still believe he is very much under consideration, and his quote about the rumours "not being true" where directly addressing the…

I wouldn't go as far as calling it my favourite or a top 5 contender, but TND sure feels like a breathe of fresh air in comparison to the last couple Craig outings.

The general consensus appears to be that EON will go with an unknown because that's what they did with Craig, but I'd wager the next Bond actor has been sitting under our noses for years and is likely to be one of the following: Aidan Turner, Nichol…

I like twine until the submarine ending, then it gets tedious.

Bond films should be between 110 and 130 minutes in length because that's the sweetspot to tell a dynamic story with 3 major setpieces without becoming baggy or outstaying your welcome. Films like the dark knight or avengers are longer because th…

From an interview with collider in August 2021: Interviewer: "you've done such a great job rebooting the last two bonds, would you consider doing it again?" Martin Campbell: "oh yes, I would certainly consider it because I enjoy doing bond. Th…

@007HallY you're correct, I just meant that EON are kind of behind the 8 ball this time because so much time has already passed. They can't afford another multiple month set back like what happened with Craig, Boyle and the pandemic last time. That'…

The thing is Campbells career outside Bond and Zorro has always been spotty, its not like he went downhill in that regard. I also think "The Foriegner" was genuinely brilliant, and "The Protege" had a flawed script but still showcased Campbells skil…

David Lean directed A Passage To India in his 80's and the movie was nominated for several oscars. I don't doubt Campbell can still do it but time is of the essence, they would really have to get rolling soon if that were the case. To be hones…

I would take Martin Campbell directing Bond 26 in a heartbeat, and if they were to start filming tomorrow that could work, but it's likely going to be another 3 to 4 years before a frame of the film is shot, by which time Campbell will be closer t…

My prediction: bond 26 will release either March or April of 2028.

They need a director with a vision similar to how Barbie had with Greta Gerwig. I really think Alfonso Cuaron could work since he was connected to Bond in the past and has experience on a franchise with Potter. He does the artistic flourishes well w…

Bond 26 needs to be a palette cleanser after the tumult of 2 very long delays post SP. It could be argued that 4 of the past 5 bond films were poignant and trying to land that sucker punch, by having various character killed off and bond reeling fro…

I won't be holding my breathe for any updates on Bond 26 this year, 2025 is gone and 2026 is starting to look extremely optimistic, I don't think EON are likely to pull out a reboot of the franchise in under 3 years, especially considering Micky G w…

I actually think Cavill could play a good bond in his 50's once he has leaned up a bit. I'd much rather have him than a black bond. I think his portrayal would have to be fairly comedic, but he already has man from UNCLE, MI: fallout and argyle so m…

We've cleared the 27 month barrier between bond films and there still doesn't appear to be the first hints of a new film on the horizon yet, I think many of us are praying a trailer drops for the game in 2024, that would at least lift the spirits in…
