  • 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…
  • OK Magazine: Jamie Dornan, Régé-Jean Page & Henry Cavill Battling To Be The Next James Bond: Source Absolutely guaranteed to be a nonsense article. However, its seems the British tabloid press are starting early on rumours of Craig's succ…

  • 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…

  • New interview with Linus....It's 44 minutes long. I haven't been able to watch it yet. But I thought others would be interested to see. Do we think that Linus Sandgren could get an Oscar nomination for cinematography?

  • Cary was at the BAFTA screening of Dune last night. I think we have the director and cast of Bond 26 sorted 😉
  • I think Benicio Del Toro is deserving of a reprieve. There's even a version of NTTD where I could imagine him as Safin. However, the person who would absolutely nail a villain role is Leonardo DiCaprio. The next Bond will probably be fairly cheap…
  • I didn't quite count the amount of times Craig said "Thank you", but I did notice that they kept the tradition going of having Bond throw things. I noticed him throw the hotel keys in the PTS and the detonator in the finale

  • I actually think it's a very valid question. The answer I think is that NTTD really isn't for them. It's for the audiences who grew up with Daniel Craig and are affectionate to his run as Bond. It's meant to be a culmination of what has come befo…
  • Definitely positive! However, whenever there is a new Bond film out, there is a natural enthusiasm as people have such pent up excitement. I recall all the Craig films from QOS to SP being lauded initially by fans before a backlash kicked in. Gra…
  • It looks as though the first images and interview with Kleinman discussing the titles is online. I cannot access it as it is behind a paywall, however, we do have our first clear look at the DNA helix made of guns. Probably one of the more inspired …
  • So tempted to go for a third viewing of NTTD, but I've still got Dune, Last Night at Soho and the French Dispatch to see. So perhaps not enough time for Bond again. Has anyone gone more than once? I'm so tempted to go back to see if some of these…
  • So did Blofeld have a magical eye when he was in his cell and babbling to himself? Much the same as the eye as Primo had? Jeeeeez....There was some serious wonky storytelling during those London portions of the film. you can see they were up against…
  • Richard Madden has the charisma and the acting chops to be Bond. He actually looks a bit like Pierce Brosnan, but with a touch of Sean Connery with that accent. So he has that classical look to him - such a gorgeous jawline and hair He's also brilli…
  • There are a lot of obvious references in NTTD (OHMSS, TLD), however there are a lot of seriously deep-cut/superfan references. Which you have to appreciate. Despite being made by such a young director, there is a lot of nostalgia. I suspect as the f…
  • Either Purvis or Wade (I can't tell the difference between them, nor do I intend to ever learn) has revealed thsemlves to be the real Blofeld at the NTTD premiere. Also, I did think that Phoebe Waller-Bridge should become the new writer for B…
  • As long as Rege-Jean Page picks projects wisely over the next 2-3 years, he may very well have the role in the bag. He's a superstar in the making. I've read some reports this weekend from the London Film Festival that Page stopped the room dead whe…
