  • At this rate biden will have completed his first term in office and we still won't know who the next guy to don the tux will be. Its getting serious, they need to pick up the pace or there won't be a Bond film in cinemas until 2026.

  • I kinda though that after waiting 6 years for bond 25 they would pick up the pace alittle but If we don't get an update on the script by the start of summer you can kiss the hopes of a 2025 release date goodbye. EON are already running out of time.

  • November 2025 seems like a reasonable goal right now, problem is if they keep wasting time like this they might end up having to push the film back another year.
  • It does make you wonder what EON have been up to for the past 18 months, right? even if we are to assume they were busy right up until the release of Bond 25, that's still basically a year and half they've been sat on their hands for now. Even du…
  • If there isn't a semblance of a script at this stage then we can officially rule out a 2024 release. There's no way they can possibly write the script, cast bond, shoot the entire film and go through post-production all in the next 20 months. I thin…
  • jesus... It's been 3 years since Bond 25 wrapped and they still haven't gotten any further (:|
  • I used to be on the nolan train but now I think edgar wright is the perfect choice to direct bond 26. Home grown talent, already good friends with Babs and Mick and if there one thing bond needs to be in the 2020's it's more "kinetic". Wrights movie…
  • Basic Bond 26 wishlist: - Standalone adventure - Single location/country (except for pts) - More emphasis on standout action - Younger Bond at the peak of his powers - More emphasis on humour/one liners - New triumphant version of the bond t…
  • What do people think about the idea of Edgar Wright directing Bond 26? I was indifferent for the most part, but after seeing Bond 25 I think its absolutely crucial that the next film is more lighthearted and kinetic with a shorter running time, and …

  • It's crazy because before I left this place all I ever heard about was how turner was too baby-faced to be bond, and now he's aged a bit and put on some muscle suddenly he's "too old". Sometimes it feels like people secretly know he's right for the …
  • I'll admit "dial of destiny" is growing on me in a way that bond 25 never did.
  • Craigs lacks both the daring, suave aspect of bond as well as the humour/irreverent aspect and that's why I think turner is the ideal choice to take over the role. bond fans are all dying for a film with a proper gunbarrel at the start, a roaring …
  • Christoper Nolan has been in a pattern recently of releasing a new film every 3 years, usually in the 3rd weekend of July. 2014 - interstellar 2017 - dunkirk 2020 - tenet 2023 - oppenhiemer if this trend continues then its a sign he plans t…

  • We probably won't see bond 26 until 2026 at this rate. They haven't even started thinking about the next film yet and it seems to take them longer and longer each time to get things underway.
