  • For what it's worth, the stars are aligning for Craig to return. Aside from Barbara and him hanging out in London last night. Craig released his condolences to Moore though the official 007 Instagram account: Clearly he is still firml…
  • Roger was a true legend and an absolute icon who cemented the franchise for decades to come. His charming, suave and elegant performance is a large reason why the films continue to be a success today. Moore's capacity to define the role and embra…
  • I appreciate your comments. I'm not saying that they should get rid of the "Bond girl" character as a concept for the next film. Just get rid of the idea that she has to be a side-kick/love interest. If Craig comes back. I want them to make a …
  • Here's a controversial opinion....... Let's not have a Bond girl! Female leads in action films are such cliche-ridden affairs. We know the motions and we just end up having to sit through them time and time again. Madeleine Swann was created b…

  • Really interesting (and lengthy) profile on Ellison and Annapurna over at Vanity Fair. http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2013/03/megan-ellison-27-producer-zero-dark-thirty It’s sorta convinced me that she’ll get the rights. • She seems bl…
  • This is beyond tantalising. Bigelow is ridiculously qualified for the job, her action bonafides are through the roof. She also would be a starrier directorial choice than Mendes. I also suspect that considering the current political climate, w…
  • https://podcastone.com/episode/DaveBautistaReturns Really cool podcast withe Bautista. It's really candid and honest. He talks about the audition for Hinx, the table-read, how they made him dub the final line, cut scenes, working with Craig, e…
  • This is total bs. This same guy predicted that Dev Patel would be the new Spider-Man. He also stated with a high amount of confidence that Marvel were trying to get a non-white actor for the role. Tom Holland looks v white to me. Same guy also…
  • Chris Nolan is custom built for a Bond film. In fact, it's a crying shame that he made Batman in 2005, when the producers could have snagged him to do the Bond reboot, before he became a big deal. Even in his own words, he basically made a Bond f…

  • I’m slightly confused why the press are pegging McGuigan as an “indie” director. He’s a career journeyman who goes where the work is. He’s the sort of man that Eon hired back in the 1990s. Occasionally, these appointments worked (Martin Campbell and…
  • Is this the least inspiring rumour ever: Paul McGuigan has emerged as leading contender for 'Bond 25' directing gig: http://www.indiewire.com/2017/05/james-bond-25-directors-eon-indie-paul-mcguigan-1201810462/ Indiewire have a lot of credibili…
  • The Good: Confidence: There is a lot to be said for a director who can take the reigns of a franchise like Bond and come into it with such a surefooted sense of confidence. Mendes knew exactly what he wanted to do and how to do it. He took bold r…
  • The bidding news is very interested indeed. Clearly, EON have the wheels in motion and they have something worth buying. I’m really not that enthused by the news of the big multinationals grabbing the property. They’re all pretty interchangeable …
  • Page Six: Daniel Craig will return as 007 as Tom Hiddleston is ruled out http://pagesix.com/2017/04/03/daniel-craig-ready-for-more-007-after-slash-my-wrist-diss/ This makes perfect sense – I imagine the new script has a solid sense of iden…
  • I’m being pretty reactionary (and obvious) here, but I just saw Logan and loved it. I’m not an X-Men fan, but the new film was pretty powerful. I’m not suggesting that James Mangold should do a Bond film. But I think that if Craig returns (which …
  • For those paying attention, Barbara Broccoli is on the board of Into Film: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/stars-present-into-film-awards-to-young-filmmakers-and-reviewers-35531120.html https://www.intofilm.org/our-trus…
  • A director I’ve always been intrigued by (but always rejected) for the Bond gig is Edgar Wright. Now I’ve had time to let it percolate, I’m really sold of Wright. He has his own idiosyncratic style, that’s hyper kinetic, comedic, subversive, but …
  • Just saw the "Atomic Blonde" trailer - and it looks terrific. People wanting a fun edgy Bond film, should possibly consider David Leitch (or the other John Wick dude). THIS is what the Bond's film need. No more naval-gazing and portentous …
  • Very interesting developments. P&W are good for first drafts – then get a director and allow them to hire a writer more suited to them. It’s always been the way. Why change it now? Here’s my take – Craig is pretty much “in”. I think EON ha…
  • I feel a name who isn’t getting nearly enough attention is Cary Joji Fukunaga. I’m sorta bored of the “No Americans” rule – I get it when it comes to casting the Bond role – but there are a lot of great American filmmakers I’d like to see tak…
  • I’m actually a little surprised at people’s dissatisfaction with SP’s cinematography. One of the things I admired most about the film was its boldness in not trying to replicate SF’s look. SF is a beautifully framed and lit film – it’s a great examp…
  • Getafix wrote: » Steve McQueen of 12 Years a Slave I would love Steve McQueen to direct one of these films. The only problem is that McQueen is an “artist” and his style is very intimate and emotional. For those wanting a fun and exciting B…
  • A new report from Page Six seems to reiterate that Craig will return: http://pagesix.com/2017/02/22/daniel-craig-loves-money-more-than-he-hates-james-bond/ Not surprising at all. He just wanted a creative breather from 007 - but all the stars…
  • Here’s some interesting food for thought whilst we wait for some news…. While the Bond movies grows another coating of dust, many other big Hollywood franchises are dominating the news cycle. One film that is getting a lot of attention is the new…
  • The Dead Are Alive – Obvious reasons. However, isn’t “Spectre” just another way of saying that anyway? A Whisper of Hate – It’s from Fleming’s CR novel and SP is meant to round of some of the thematic material from Craig’s first film. Also, it so…
  • It actually was not to be found in the leaked scripts. P&W gave an interview recently with the Independent and they spoke how they originally had Bond reluctantly choose his MI6 life over Madeleine. However, Mendes overruled them. Understanda…
  • I messaged Baz Bamigboye on Twitter and he has confirmed that Bond 25 is "a long, long way off " https://twitter.com/BazBam/with_replies This latest report is interesting. There are a number of possibilities: - People's wires are crossed an…
