  • A Reddit user is saying that Craig AND Mendes are planning on returning: https://www.reddit.com/r/JamesBond/comments/5fe0d1/craig_and_mendes_to_return_for_bond_25/ Seems like bullshit. Sam has said he's out on numerous occasions - plus I think…
  • I understand people’s gripes with Spectre’s structuring. The problem is that the film is so bloated and full of portent, however, it also strives to be a piece of frivolous entertainment. The styles don’t really gel. So what you’re left with is a…
  • The case for Tom Hiddleston solidifies..... I've always been a tad hesitant about him in the role.....but I'm liking his look in this film. It's out in March, so expect TH's publicity-hungry team to gear up the Bond rumours around that tim…
  • This is a difficult one to answer……mainly as the franchise has changed a lot over the last 50 years. Back in the 60’s and 70’s it was easier to tie in the actors into restrictive contracts and knock the films out quickly. I feel it’s better to lo…
  • Reading Refn’s comments have made me so eager for him to direct a Bond film. Watching his films I always find him to be overly-indulgent and self-serving. However, I really like them still…..he has a very distinctive point of view, Refn is very much…

  • Fassbender is clearly the best candidate for the job. It’s funny that for someone who is ruling himself out, he confesses that he’s thought about the part a lot. He even has his own pitch prepared! Regardless of Fassy’s own take on how the mat…

  • I think Christensen gave one of the best performances in the film. It’s only a brief moment in the grand context of things, but the scene does A LOT. - It provides closure for those wanting to know more about the character of Mr White - It tells…

  • I think the L'American hotel room is one of the best scenes in the uneven Spectre. It's shame it has to follow the dodgy plane chase. The film is awkwardly packaged. The plane chase is a nonsense action sequence, it's good fun but it makes no lo…

  • I think Fleming was marvellous at creating improbable and audacious plots. The stories he conjured up were always exciting and interesting. Ideas like the honey-trap in FRWL or the casino bankruptcy in CR are inspired. However, his writing style was…
  • I had a look over Spectre again and I feel that there is a lot of great stuff in the opening half of the film. It does sorta run out of steam after Austria - it's also interesting to note that there is no major action sequence after around the 70-80…
  • Anyone watch the second series of Daredevil? Elodie Yung was born to be in a Bond movie.
  • Has Naomie Harris confirmed Craig will be back? https://www.yahoo.com/movies/naomie-harris-thinks-daniel-craig-is-coming-back-to-play-bond-and-shell-bet-you-money-on-it-233621391.html She tiptoed around it but she seems convinced. It's a littl…
  • My understanding is that Wright was earmarked for a return in Spectre. He even gave an interview on Sirius FM where he mentioned that he had been asked to return but the script had changed since. According to the Sony leaks we know this is true, …
  • Guy Ritchie directing an Aladdin movie, quite frankly, sounds like the worst idea ever. Beyond risible. Someone needs to hire Denis Villeneuve. I have a feeling that EON want to relaunch with Denis in the hot-seat. The new Dark Tower trail…
  • Rare BTS photos from Skyfall. You can see loads of the crew and sets. Interestingly, you can see the Stuart Baird in the rather cruddy editing room. http://www.andersonandlow.com/gallery.html?gallery=Skyfall&folio=Projects&vimeoUserID=…

  • I recently looked over CR again. I have to say that while I enjoyed Spectre in the most part, Craig was dynamite in CR. It's still his best film. Campbell nailed the fight scenes. In particular, I love the bathroom fight. It's so vulgar and inart…

  • Right, time to think about this pragmatically: Lets consider the timelines here. Firstly, if Bond 25 is to come out in November 2018, they would need to start production around this time next year. That means they would probably want to get Craig…
  • Hiddleston is BACK in the press again in a big bad way...it's pretty clear that Tommy H thinks 2016 is going to be his big year. In all fairness, to him he is milking it for all it's worth - more power to him. This guy is desperate to get on the A-l…
  • More news on future Sam Mendes projects (that aren't Bond related): http://collider.com/sam-mendes-beautiful-ruins/ Interestingly, Mendes will work on the project with Scott Rudin (who we know has a close working relationship with Craig). Cra…
  • A fairly uneventful, but nonetheless intriguing, video of Purvis and Wade talking about Spectre: A slightly more interesting video where P&W talk of Bond's development over the course of the Craig films:
  • I've not seen him in much, but someone who has the look is Jamie Dornan. I'm not sure if he's tainted by the 50 Shades franchise. But he definitely looks the part. Suave, handsome but with a hint of cruelty. He does look a tad dodgy clean-shaven,…
