  • This has been on my mind recently as I am outlining my first fan creation, a screenplay for a Bond 26 reboot concept. So far the locations I'd love to have Bond visit are Tehran, Iran Singapore Dubrovnik, Croatia Rocky Mountains (B…
  • All from existing trailers and tv spots.
  • I think while the current MI6 crew is great, a refresh would be a good idea with a new Bond. I'm actually trying my hand at writing my first fan-fiction, a soft reboot concept for Bond 26 with a new MI6 staff and my head cast is; Colin Firth as M…
  • Given the knowledge that Barbara Broccoli and Cary Fukunaga had spitballed ideas about future Bond actors and the fact that both would be open to his return (provided NTTD is successful which I'm sure it will be), I wonder if it makes Luke Evans a m…
  • Didn't this all stem from (Spoiler) If that's all it is based on then it's really just speculation. I also thought that (Spoiler)
  • I think it's both, frankly. Mendes probably shouldn't have come back (or at least not immediately), the script wasn't great and in fact the leaked bits of the 3rd act from the previous drafts and even John Logan's initial concept with Blofeld as an …
  • Skyfall is IMO the best in the series, with Casino Royale being it’s only real competition so it’s obvious where I stand on that one. Sprectre... I really do like it, but I think it’s hard for me to look at objectively. There’s this general air o…

  • I can definitely see the aesthetic not being to some people's taste, admittedly, it took a couple watches of the trailer for it to grow on me, but I do like the fact that the films have become more visually striking and I'd be surprised if that chan…
  • Looking back at the trailers and TV spots, it's pretty fascinating to me how the look of this movie turned out. All of Fukunaga's work looks great, but the doesn't necessarily have a distinct visual style (other than being well composed and relative…

  • I'm not too concerned about PWB, I think she's an asset as far as punching up some dialogue (particularly humour) and making Bond feel as though he lives among people who feel/sound like they could feasibly exist in this contemporary 2021 society. I…
  • I'm with you on Dr. No, a really solid no-frills spy thriller even if it doesn't quite have all the Bond flavour there. GF and Thunderball, I really struggle with. Goldfinger and Thunderball are some of the most important Bond films as far as defini…
  • Not necessarily theme related but I think Ludwig Gorannson would absolutely SMASH a Bond score out of the park. With all of the young, fresh energy around NTTD he would've been a natural choice as he's got all the Bond staples down while very much h…
  • I'm curious too. They'll definitely need to do something to drum up interest, but it also seems like they've shown about as much as they're willing to given that even prior to the last delay we weren't seeing tons of new footage in the promotional m…

  • In regards to the action sequences. I think there may be a bit of misdirection in the marketing as far as the prominence of the Matera action sequence given the overall reported screentime of the PTS. It may be the most prominently featured in the p…

  • I'm willing to wager that this will be where the title song begins
  • I'm not sure where the rumours of the cold open were sourced and the actual legitimacy of it, but I really hope that's the case. The Craig era began with a bit of a subversive opening with the B&W PTS sans gunbarrel and I think this would be a f…
  • Right there with you on the DB5 @echo . I won’t dispute it’s place in Bond iconography but even by Skyfall it was completely stale for me. NTTD may rectify this a bit by utilizing it in some more dynamic sequences than we’ve seen in the past, but I …
  • While I can appreciate the idea that we may be due for a tonal shift for the next Bond, I really don't know why there is such a desire to go back to "workman" directors and I doubt the producers are going to go in that direction either. Bold directo…

  • I like Kiwanuka quite a bit and I've heard that Barabara Broccoli is a fan so I wouldn't be surprised to see him land the gig at some point down the road. One who is quite under the radar currently but I think would be a great fit once her star rise…
