  • Are Rosamund Pikes character and Toby Stephens character supposed to be lovers? I don't think it's ever explained why she's so committed to his plan, what in it for her?

  • Currently watching DAD and regardless of the bad dialogue, Peirce and Halle had some good screen chemistry together.
  • 2027 might be a good time to release bond 26 because not only is it the 65th anniversary of the franchise, but it's also the 30th anniversary of Tomorrow Never Dies, the 40th anniversary of The Living Daylights, the 50th anniversary of The Spy Who L…
  • When did there become a crusade against sex scenes to popular movies? First Oppenhiemer, now Bond? Mary Whitehouse would be proud.

  • I would love a Bond entry in the style of goldeneye or TND, unfortunately EON are about as predictable as they come these days - that's not what they'll likely do. with only one film every 5 years they're only going to be interested in telling "impo…
  • I think EON probably haven't been thinking too much about the next Bond film up until this point. 2022 - 2023 - celebrating Craig and recuperating after the release of Bond 25 2024 - 2025 - beginning the process of reimagining the character an…

  • Colonel_Venus wrote: » Yes to Nolan and Cuaron. If the really wanted to pick a journeyman, Campbell would be the best choice, even at 80. I am no on Wright and Mylod. Why no on Wright?
  • My current top picks 1. Edgar Wright 2. Martin Campbell 3. Alfonso Cuaron 4. Christopher Nolan 5. Mark Mylod

  • All I really wanted to know was whether EON were waiting for the strikes to end to jump into high gear or whether they were in no rush to start the new film anytime soon. I think this comments confirm that we are going to be waiting a long time for …
  • Do you think Micheal G Wilson will have a credit like Cubby had on Goldeneye? He'll be roughly the same age as Cubby was back then.
