  • I really liked Pattinson's moody and coiled Batman. There is a serious darkness to him in that role. If you were unfamiliar with the character you'd be hard pressed to not believe that he was the serial killer. That edgy quality made his portrayal w…
  • https://twitter.com/FilmUpdates/status/1603021068704575488 Personally I think this is exactly the type of project he should be doing. He has proven himself as a leading man with 007 and now has shown he has comedic chops. However, my favourite …
  • New trailer has landed for Oppenheimer and it looks special. The cinematography and look is really giving me First Man vibes. Apparently word on the Nolan forums is that he has finished the movie and it has been seen by cast and crew already. Noneth…
  • First look at MASTERS OF THE AIR has been unveiled by Apple TV+ in which Cary Fukunaga has directed four episodes. I really love Austin Butler's accent 😍😍😍 If only he was English, he'd have made a good Bond. https://twitter.com/CultureCrave/statu…

  • The British tabloids tend to get it right when it comes to Bond. It is for this reason that I am a little uninspired by Aaron Taylor-Johnson's name being thrown into the mix. He seems to me to be a mix between Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan. There …
  • Anyone seen Glass Onion yet? I have tickets for Monday! I'm v excited and not just because Daniel looks seriously cool with that natty neckerchief.
  • Sam Mendes' new film is being mauled by the critics. Which is a shame. Even if it did look like a blatant piece of Oscar bait. Which naturally makes it unattractive as it comes across as desperate. I think it is time Mendes puts aside his attempts t…
  • I feel very smug that I was the first to mention Sope Disiru back in January 2018. It is also quite stark reading my post from back then as you can really see the inroads that diverse actors have made since 2017/18. I like to think we live in a mor…

  • I recently rewatched some Craig films outside of his Bond tenure. I posted some quick thoughts here: https://www.mi6community.com/discussion/9321/the-non-bond-films-of-daniel-craig/p2 It would humble me greatly if people were to check them out…
  • I recently went back and tried to work my way through some of DC's previous films... Enduring Love is a great example of 00s British cinema, even if it does skew towards middle-class North Londoners who frequent wine bars. Nonetheless, it is artf…
  • I do often wonder if there is any ground left untapped with James Bond. The only answer I can think of is to go 'younger.' When speaking to a friend about NTTD and explaining the basic plot, her response was "Isn't Bond always forced to come out of …
  • How about Aaron Pierre? He's a good actor and has a great voice. Also, only 28. Once his name breaks out a bit more with Blade, the Lion King prequel and his upcoming streaming films he will be in the race for 007 for sure.

  • #4 without a doubt Also, can someone confirm if that is George Lazenby in the silhouette. I boosted the colour and it looks like him to me.
  • I rewatched 1917 and it is a tremendous film - probably Sam Mendes' best. This is truly such an experiential and engrossing film that really puts you alongside the characters. I enjoyed Dunkirk, but there was always something chilly and mechanical a…
  • You joke, but....... I'm probably one of the few people here not adverse to spin-offs. Regardless of Barbara's intentions, I think we can all agree that conversations have been going on behind the scenes at Amazon. Eon believe in the purity of th…

  • I am not a big fan of Joe Alwyn. However, I am rather excited by the rumours from Variety that Jacob Elordi is in the mix. He has the angst of Timothee Chalamet in "Dune" and the intensity of Marlon Brando in his heyday. If it is Eon's plan to ma…
  • I recently had a Pierce Brosnan marathon (a Brosanathon if you will). In the most part, his career hasn't been overly stellar post-Bond. I would say my biggest takeaway was that Brosnan actually did his best work in his career as 007. What do we thi…

  • I'm sure I am not the only person to have seen some Bond parallels in Squid Game (evil villain living on an abandoned island with henchman in red jumpsuits. There are even some Safin-esque masks!). Personally, the actor who really popped on that sho…
  • NTTD inspired me to rewatch OHMSS.......... This is a very good movie - perhaps not as perfect as it has been heralded on NTTD's marketing tour - but it's still one of the most iconic and satisfying films in the franchise's oeuvre. Also, perh…

  • Just saw this interview with Craig and convinced he's a Fremen. How are is eyes this blue?!?! Is there another Fremen role he could potentially play in the sequel? I'd love to see him collab with Villeneuve
  • It has been confirmed that, so far, Denis Villeneuve, Cary Fukunaga, Christopher Nolan and Edgar Wright have a pitch for the Bond reboot. That is quite the list. It's safe to say that Eon are rather spoiled for choice. I trust that one of those name…

  • I saw this story on BBC News this morning. Perhaps Safin's plot of gene editing isn't all that far-fetched. It seems gene therapies could actually target illnesses. The below story almost reads like science-fiction, but it's true......The quote from…
