But Bond is different than that. Bond is a family business. Listen to Martin Campbell describe his experience making bond with making "the green lantern" for instance, it's chaulk and cheese. Part of Babs and Micheals jobs is to act as a buttress ag…

What I mean is I think most bond fans would have much preferred OHMSS part 2, even with the lesser bond actor, than Diamonds Are Forever with Connery sleepwalking through the film.

What do people think about Alfonso cuarón directing bond? I know his harry potter movie is highly regarded. I was gutted to hear he nearly directed twine back in the day, he would have done a much better job than apted.

I don't necessarily think it matters who plays james bond to how well the film perform or is recieved. I mean, what many consider (including myself) to be one of if not THE best Bond films featured a guy who had barely acted at all, and conversely t…

Bond is very much equivalent to indiana jones in terms of trajectory, just about 20 years behind. Indiana Jones was phenomenally popular with Gen X and older millennial generations, the problem is that indy didn't stay in the public consciousness th…

If the release date is November 2025 it won't be nolan or any "big name" director - that's the bottom line. It'll be a reliable, safe pair of hands such as Campbell or Mendes who won't be a diva and quit months into development.
-
I think it all comes down to whether November 2025 is a priority or not. 4 years is usually ample to start off the new era of Bond, and if EON and partners are determined to hit that date then it probably means the likelihood them returning to Marti…

I've been on a Bond hiatus in recent years since the release of Bond 25, and I think after the strike ended a spark has ignited in a lot of fans who became disenchanted with the franchise after how that film ended. Anyway I watched Tomorrow Never Di…

that's exactly my point, why is it not appropriate that bond is played by an actor that is a little person?

Casino Royale would work far better as a swansong for Brosnans bond.

The next 6 to 8 months are going to be fascinating to watch unfold as bond fans. Unless something drastically goes wrong, we should start to get some substantial news - I think by next spring we will have a definite release date locked down.

If Bond 25 showed us anything it's that over complicating things, while it may make you look "clever" on the surface, often doesn't work out in the long run. Can anyone with a straight face say that were satisfied by how blofeld and spectre met t…

They should just take the ana de armas section of Bond 25 and use that as the blueprint for a whole story, much like the opening of DAD was built on for Casino Royale. It's not rocket science.

With 2024 staring us in the face and still no official amnouncement, the prospect of a 2025 release date for Bond 26 is now entering the rear view mirror sadly. There's just no way they are gonna put together a whole film from scratch + cast a ne…

does anyone remember what the reason was for them originally moving off the 2019 release date? Was it Boyle leaving? I can't recall the exact chronology, but if we use that as an example, technically speaking there's still time for the film to relea…

Honestly I hope we get a director/writer announced soon along with a release date, it's already been two years without any updates, a lot of fan channels on YouTube have gone into stasis mode while there's nothing going on. We need a big announcemen…

A Nolan Bond trilogy set in the late 50's sounds intriguing to me. Its not like every indiana jones or sherlock holmes story isn't from a different era and I find those perfectly exciting and engaging, not sure where the criticism of this idea is co…

Something tells me EON are waiting for 2027 and the 65th anniversary, so they can make it another event film like skyfall and hopefully release the 4K boxset as well.
