  • It's unlikely it would be Forster but I wouldn't be against it.
  • No that is SPECTRE by far.
  • I'd like to see how all the other Bond would have coped in the Internet age and what Craig has had to put up with. Guess we'll never know but Connery would have thrown is toys out of the pram much sooner due to his tolerance with the media back t…
  • I'd much prefer Murphy than Hardy, I like Hardy but he's totally unsuitable for Bond, Cillian would give the role some refinement that Hardy lacks. To be honest if Nolan did direct bearing mind he had a say in who got cast if it was still with EO…

  • I will be catching the Bodyguard when I get back from my Holiday but Jed Mercurio's involvement excites me the most, all 3 series of Line Of Duty I've seen were superb. As for Norton, I personally liked McMafia but I take you haven't seen him in …

  • Torgeirtrap wrote: » @Shardlake Have to agree that that album isn't his best. Just find it interesting that he did a cover of YOLT. It's a great song, so why shouldn't he! Never heard that album you linked to; I should probably try and find it …

  • I personally like McMafia but Bodyguard has Mecurio as a writer so it has a plus already, Line of Duty is one of the best Police thrillers of recent times and no it doesn't need a U.S remake. Keeley Hawes is definitely a plus point but I believe …
  • I think it's best we wait for an official announcement or some of us will be getting very worked up over something which could be a load of BS. I don't see them totally abandoning Hodge's script, also Shatterhand as been out there for sometime no…

  • I thought it was inevitable that Madden gets thrown into the ring. The publicity for Bodyguard and the stills as soon as I saw them thought here we go again, personally not seeing it. As for Bodyguard it's from the same pen as Line of Duty wri…
  • Listening to the album and it's follow up as whole there is more of an argument for this side project of Mr Gahan's than his day job producing a one moody and memorable Bond theme.

  • Craig has far more range than Brosnan, anyone trying to argue that is having a laugh. The Craig backlash has got ridiculous now, people are just lashing out and saying very silly things. Are we forgetting Brosnan 1 dimensional reading, even if…
  • Listening to this although I'd advocate Mr Gahan's main band this collaboration highlight's some truly haunting and atmospheric songs that I think as combo these guys would ace a Bond theme.
  • The Hateful Eight (2015) Although it's been in my collection since day of release, the last time I caught this was on the big screen early 2016. I Enjoyed it again although definitely not prime QT, not sure about his narrative moments, to much sp…
