Can I propose a hypothetical scenario? Let's say Oppenhiemer wins big on oscar night and Barbara and Amazon see dollar signs and announce they are fast-tracking Nolans grand 300 million dollar Bond action spectacle into development for a November…

honestly it would make sense if they just took the paloma sequence from Bond 25 and made a more traditional mission based adventure based on that tone and around 2 hrs in length to introduce the character to a new generation and give older fans the …

First chapter Cubbys premiership (including Harry) Second chapter babs and mick double team Third chapter possibly babs + gregg combo?

Bond 26 in July 2028 with Nolan returning to blockbuster cinema 20 years after TDK would be very special indeed. People say the man can't do humour and lightness but I remember seeing the trailers to the batman films back in the day and hearing line…

I'm sure Mescal is a fine actor but the idea that he is right for Bond is laughable in my opinion. Nothing about him evokes anything of a masculine ideal in my eyes.

I still think Christopher Nolan isn't out of the picture yet. He was playing coy in that interview, he wouldn't announce anything about his next project until after the oscars regardless of what it was. It reminds me of how Craig swore down that he …

Edgar Wright could write and direct a slick, witty 2 hr bond film with all the tropes for 150 million, I don't know why EON never take a chance on someone like him.

The original bond films weren't mega-budgets, but then they were almost always 2 hours and had a lot more sleuthing around.

If we can't talk about what trends are likely to happen in the next film in a thread titled where does bond go after craig? Then what is the point in such a thread even existing?

Barbie had the whole idea of barbieland and the commentary of feminism and toxic masculinity, Oppenhiemer worked so well because the threat of the bomb could be easily equated for the existential dangers of technology/modernity and AI, and both film…

Unfortunately we won't see Bond 26 until 2027/8 at the earliest and it will probably have a metamodern dimension to it after Barbenhiemer that seems to be the next hollywood trend.

I like old school. I like modern films that film like they have a connection to film history, Campbells bond films do that for me, like with the cross-dissolves at the poker table in CR. I even remember watching The Protege a while back and thinking…

Something that I thought was worth pointing out, almost all of the considered "classic" bond films are just under/over the 2 hrs mark, and the pacing of those films are considered perfect by bond fans. Dr No - 110 mins FRWL - 115 mins Goldfinge…

We won't see another Bond film until 2027 at the earliest. EON are waiting for the dust to settle as the industry heals from a pandemic and multiple months long strikes, when there is a clear and obvious niche they can play to.
-
Yeah, but for the type of film we're describing, a palette cleanser Bond, we aren't looking for subversive.
-
I keep seeing people say Bond 26 should be a Goldeneye style soft reboot that reestablishes the world of Bond after a long absence, and if EON are going in this direction then personally I think David Leitch would be a great choice to helm the film.…
