I started my kids on Doctor No which I think is still their favourite (surprises me). They are still both a bit too young for the Daniel Craig movies, although by Bond 25 I suspect my eldest will be ready. You probably should go with your instinct a…

Not the best, but classy nonetheless (and not yet mentioned) - wasn't a young Charles Dance hiding in FYEO as a hench-person (probably his first major film role)?

Didn't Maibaum take a pop at Fleming's writing in his later years? I'm sure I read this somewhere. Even so he is still by far the most solid scriptwriter the Bond series has had (for me his contributions are as missed as John Barry's music is - but …

I can't confirm that MGW called Richard Maibaum a 'has-been', but I did read somewhere that Maibaum thought LTK was one of the worst Bond scripts he'd read and he wasn't a fan of it. I think he worked on some of the plot elements but a writers guild…

I really can't say I was a huge fan of Scott's C portrayal, for me the best *long uncomfortable pause* exchange was "Now we now what C stands for" (long uncomfortable pause - we were all thinking it)... "Careless" (ah, okay). Also a nice nod to Crai…

Is it the most fun? For me no! What I can say is that I think this might be the most "Brosnan-esque" entry in over a decade - in fact I can easily see Brozzer playing Bond in this one (and indeed I think it would have suited Pierce's Bond better tha…

Okay, whilst it's not really a favourite of mine - All Time High is a classier Bond song. Is it a classic? No. I appreciate Madonna was trying to be edgy (a good idea if only the concept worked), this was little more than a rehash of the same ideas …

Okay so it looks lovely, although I feel they are giving away too many plot points here. They also make it look like an action film (which I suspect it isn't). My guess is that most people are already Replicants in 2049 but perhaps there is an under…

I think a huge part of this is drive. He really had to prove himself in Casino Royale. After Quantum of Solace (which I know a lot of casual fans regard as one of the worst) - he again had something to prove. I'm hoping he isn't just turning up for …

Best of luck to Jodie I say! The formula needed some shaking-up, amusing to see so many getting their panties in a bunch over this (probably the same bunch of Daily Mail readers who hated Bill when they found out she was an openly gay character befo…

This scene reminds me of the Kanaga finale in LALD. Bond gets restrained and tortured by sadistic baddie of the film, girl watches helplessly, blood drips, audience winces a bit, baddie takes his sweet time, Bond uses a lame gadget watch trick to es…

Talking PTS: the shot after the assassin shoots through the top of the Land Rover at Bond's "nethers" and he seemingly flails over the side to avoid it whilst somehow managing to hang on still greatly impresses me "stunt-wise" to this day. It is a s…

I'd change quite a lot, but quickly off the top of my head (without changing thing *too* radically): - Make Hinx more memorable by using the thumbnails more, these deserved more than one scene. - Develop Waltz more and make him more sinister tha…

P+W can be quite good at coming up with concepts but their dialogue definitely needs work. I guess they came up with the torture scene in SPECTRE - which might have worked if it actually "meant" something and Bond wasn't running around two second la…

Fantastic interview! I've always rather liked parts of Serra's score (playing the Bond theme with Timpani drums is inspired, his theme for Natalya was lovely), but it was all rather experimental and not all of it works (the Aston/Ferrari chase, t…

Not sure if he's been mentioned - but would be interested to see what Alex Garland (Ex-Machina/Dredd) might bring to the table.

Whatever happens next - I hope that the filmmakers will put a lot more emphasis on the quality of the script! Love to see something with a really strong story, wonderful characters and some originality. Spectre felt more like a box-ticking exercise …

Yes, I think this happens a lot with sound-mixing in blockbusters these days - everything seems cranked up to 11 and over-produced - there isn't much breathing space. In the 60's films - the music would compliment the sound - rather than trying to c…

I really want to see some thematic material enter the series again - something which oozes atmosphere and jazzy swagger. Daniel Pemberton would be great for this (I think he's a bit like a modern-day John Barry). Too many composers repeat the…

Giachino has grown on me as a good choice of successor (but not from his MI3/4 efforts however- which I find rather bland). This track from the film is very 90's John Barry in style: https://youtube.com/watch?v=M_QZw4mPx0A To contrast his rom…

Sure it doesn't completely rule her out - but I suspect it will greatly lessen her chances. Putting myself in EONs shoes, I'd want to be working alongside a director-for-hire with a free schedule to fine-tune the script and start figuring out the pr…

I guess this might rule out Susanne Bier for directing Bond 25 (she's in talks to direct Amazon’s Cuba project pilot): http://www.imdb.com/news/ni60048341?pf_rd_m=A2FGELUUNOQJNL&pf_rd_p=2540377602&pf_rd_r=0HN68VMHYVFBSBXTPWJC&pf_rd_s=ce…

I always thought this Goldfrapp track was a good Bond-type song - shame it was never officially released:
