  • Whelp, looks like Oppenhiemer just won 7 oscars, including best picture, best director and best lead actor. I would be amazed if neither Christopher Nolan or Denis Villeneuve is the director of bond 26 now. Snubbing one for the other is a hard …
  • 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…
  • I'm in agreement with the consensus, that despite my reservations Villeneuve can at least be trusted to deliver on spectacle and the lush visuals that bond needs. Even FRWL has great scope to it, with the chess game, the gypsy fight, the cathedral s…
  • Has there ever been 3 bad bond films in a row? Here's my list, bold is good Dr No From Russia With Love Goldfinger Thunderball You only live twice Ohmss Diamonds are forever Live and let die The Man with the golden gun The spy who lov…
  • Episode 2 has a strong story but a weak romance Episode 8 has a weak story but a strong romance Episode 5 has a strong story and a strong romance.
  • My only hope is that after spending 6 years tackling the dense worlds of dune Villeneuve would want to let his hair down with a bond film, and go a bit more playful with it.
  • I've always thought CR was made for 150 million.

  • Personally I don't think EON will make Bond 26 for less than 200 million dollars. They're whole mission statement is to make Bond feel like a huge event that only comes around once in a while, and the last time they didn't spend at least 200 million…
  • I am willing to give anyone a chance and go in with an open mind, but if the next movie starts and there's no gunbarrel I will be p***ed. :-w
  • Best case scenario Villeneuve is this series Alfonso Cuaron, worst case scenario he's the new Rian Johnson.

  • I'm just a little puzzled at the timeframes. Again, assuming "secret project" = bond 26, and Villeneuve said things need to happen fairly quickly, then how long can they afford to wait before he has to go off and make Dune: Messiah? Can Villeneuv…
  • Villeneuve can smash out an epic like Dune in 2 years, if Bond 26 is some kind of thriller it wouldn't take that level of prep work, and if EON finally have the ducks in a row... Amazon will certainly be willing to throw any amount of money to ge…
  • Let's just assume that the "secret project" is bond and Villeneuve has been in negotiations for a while, its basically a done deal. With how fast we know EON can work once the ball is rolling, how likely do you think that they can get a script draft…
  • Bond actors films by average: 1st film: 129 minutes 2nd film: 119 minutes 3rd film: 127 minutes 4th film: 134 minutes 5th film: 135 minutes 6th film: 125 minutes 7th film: 131 minutes Very interesting results. It appears an actor's secon…

  • Denis Villeneuve would probably do a DN/FRWL style thriller but with TSWLM scale and visuals.
  • Haha, yeah. Craigs last 2 Bond films could have been great, straightforward Bond films, but it's all the little character angles to try and make the stakes personal that spoil them. What difference would it really make, in the end, if Madeline and S…

  • "These changes in the Craig era will be Permanent" "Bond always adapts with the times to survive." These two statements are in conflict with eachother.
