  • The only answer seems to be VOD. Theaters are clearly not a part of our current reality, and if the whole techno world is based on bloody efficiency, convenience and state-of-the-art gadgets and gizmos, then it's surely not out of the realm of possi…
  • The unique thing is that we're all Bond fans with different views in regards to what we would like to see. I think we can all agree on that. Casino Royale turned out well because it reverted to Fleming. It was a faithful modern adaptation aside f…

  • I'll say it again, but I think everything related to 'NTTD' has been karmic. Bringing the film to fruition has been a roller coaster ride of unprecedented proportions. Finally, when the film is set to have a release date, it's rescheduled, only to b…
  • I'm honestly surprised how production companies aren't prepared for the worst and keep toying with release dates this year. That being said, it would make much more sense had they just rescheduled every film to next year, sparing everyone from false…

  • It's amazing to me how much things seem to have changed at EON since Cubby's passing. How the hell has it come to the point where the screenwriters are lost for direction yet the director who has a vision, with a team, leaves because the principal a…

  • Better to not go down this path, but I'll say it anyway. Maybe Bond indeed, is not for these times. That's why I'm doubtful that Billie Eilish fans have much place going to see 'NTTD.'

  • I love how Billie Eillish's song is perfect for the time we live in because like our times, it's hopeless, lackluster, brooding, apocalyptic, not sexy, and rhythmless. The song sounds as if it were performed by a kid who just survived a nuclear holo…

  • At this point, it doesn't really matter when 'NTTD' comes out. MGM and Universal are big businesses who only care about the numbers. I doubt a single Bond fan has ever said that a OO7 film NEEDS to have a 250mil. budget, but no, it's all about being…
  • They probably have it locked up in some very high security location and only Barbara and Michael know the key code.

  • I assume that EON aren't really sure how to proceed. I believe they haven't for a while, and this situation we find ourselves in does not help, by any means.
  • I just don't think the distributors could get anywhere near their desired numbers at this point. I have a feeling that 'NTTD' will take the VOD route if it can't be released in November -at least that's what I'm hoping.

  • If I had the choice, hands down, I'd always choose the cinema. I just think the November release is very, very tentative right now and the loyal fans who have been funding the releases have waited a very long time, as it is.
  • B. Broccoli was asked about releasing Bond on VOD in the future. Her response was that it's all about what the fans want. First of all, the fans never asked for a Bond film to have a 250 mil budget, only that it's about the execution of a good story…
  • I've been curious for a while, to ask others on this blog, about the potential of the film involving a virus. Do you think after all of this uncertainty and uneasiness, people might be put off by this being a potential part of the plot? Seems the wa…

  • To be perfectly honest, this isn't too gut wrenching for me, simply because of 'SPECTRE.' That film to me is such a cringe worthy abomination that I struggled to get through it a second time. Since I find it to be that bad, a part of me doesn't want…
  • I'd replace them all. Not big on any of the Scooby gang. I don't feel as if they contribute in any real way to the films and their chemistry with Bond is 0 to none. As a matter of fact, I think they're in the films for too long as well. Maybe keep F…
  • Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if all of this is gearing up for an Adele return. Although this will likely never happen, the artists that I would love to hear do a Bond theme include Sade, Seal, Allison Moyet, Mick Hucknall and even Boy George.
