  • We'll be living with Covid for years to come. Even with the vaccine (which we'll have to have twice a year), so movie companies will have to adapt to this new reality. This is what Disney and Warner Bros have done. If EON think they're going to r…

  • They should say "f**k it!" and give the movie away free to fans. Stick a free DVD copy on the cover of The Mail On Sunday. Job done. We can then all get back to normal and start talking about real things, like who'll be the next James Bond!!!!!!! …

  • There is no way No Time To Die will be released theatrically in 2020. The virus will be with us, one way or another, for another 24-36 months based on current data - and that includes a fast roll-out of any possible vaccine. There is zero chance o…

  • More and more movie theatres having to close again in the US. In the UK, the city of Leicester will be in forced lock down for another 2 weeks. This will be the pattern for many, many months to come. When we get to November, I doubt very much we'…
  • They will release it theatrically first. I hope November will be safe, but it all depends on whether there's a second outbreak. Sorry, rephrase that, what the severity / rate of Fall infections will be (and there will be!). The massive problem for …
  • He's one of the best, surely? No one will ever match Sean (of course), but he's been brilliant. Even when the movies aren't great, he still makes them watchable.
  • I like the song. My only gripe is how quiet the first half of the track is. Billie is practically whispering. But at the 2 minute mark it really kicks in and is full on epic Bond. Very good, but not as memorable as Skyfall, but a lot better than Sa…
  • Always suspected Swann would return. And I still believe she will be "offed" which will parallel Tracy's demise in OHMSS.
  • Ok. That's really, really positive news. Very happy with choice of director. His work on True Detective was superb. Must now check out Maniac on Netflix. Plus only a 3 month delay! YIPPPEEE!!!
  • So....back to Purvis & Wade. Quelle surprise! I think we now know why Danny Boyle was fired. He had (shock! Horror!) an original idea!! I have low (probably zero) expectations now for Craig's final outing. Heck. Maybe Babs can persuade Madonna t…

  • Sigh. Maybe Craig should bow out. This is a mess. Sounds like they need a brand new script as well as director. This is NOT gonna be in cinemas in 2019, is it. Maybe not even 2020. Can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe they should instead think …
  • Even if Hodge has left, the screenplay and any of the ideas (which would have input from Craig, Babs et al) will be property of EON. If you write a script for EON, then you get paid and then EON does what they like with it. If Hodge is gone, the sto…
  • They have a script. They are casting right NOW. Production is not stopping. We are looking at a change in director. I think it's likely Boyle walked a few weeks ago, but EON only just put out the announcement. I would imagine Babs and Dan have a top…
  • They are already casting. The script is ready to go and production is in full swing. Daniel Craig is committed to filming too. Boyle may get a writing or executive producer credit, but they'll need a director who can work (not against) what EON &…
  • I've seen some reports hinting at a possible Royal connection to the movie - perhaps due to Danny Boyle's 2012 Olympics Bond meets the Queen opening. I wonder if there any truth to this? Maybe the mission is this: a Royal family member is kidnapped…

  • You want insane theories? There's no continuation of Craig's previous outings. No reference to anything in Spectre. It's 100% standalone. It's also set in the 1960's at the height of the cold war with Russians the villians. That's right, it's back t…

  • Just watching the excellent show The Alienist on Netflix. Luke Evans is really impressing me. Wonder if he will be in the running for Bond 26? He has the looks and talent and we've had Irish & Scottish Bond's so he'd be the first Welsh Bond.
  • There's an awful lot of newspapers (Evening Standard, The Express) claiming that Bond 25 is going to be delayed after news broke that Daniel Craig is going to be a father again and won't want to be away from his wife & child. Do you think this i…
