  • I think it's possibly still up in the air @Benny. Craig is definitely giving the impression that this is his final Bond and that it's now time to let someone else have a shot at being 007, but at the same time he's also implying things could happen …
  • I don't disagree @Getafix. Which was why I believe the producers will more than likely be chasing Oscar winners and nominees to raise their profile. I was just trying to offer Arnold an olive branch of sorts. What other parallels are there to Pea…
  • True. But the musical score is more of the tradition, which Arnold gets. Maybe Tamahori did make the same empty sounds at the DAD launch, but he still kept Arnold for that distinct traditional Bond vibe.
  • In the video above Fukunaga says he likes carrying on with tradition. Not wanting to put words into his mouth but the score, or Bond sound, is very much part of that tradition. Therefore, it's not inconceivable that Arnold could be invited back for …

  • I see the red top British press have already homed in on Ana De Armas' raunchy movie past just like they did with Eva Green. The movie that they've stumbled upon is 2016 boxing drama Hands of Stone. I'm surprised the journalist didn't mention 191…
  • I'm just hoping that this 007 protégé angle has been dropped, or maybe it was never in to begin with. Besides, I honestly can't see why Bond would need a protégé if the new 007 has earned their 00 status on merit. It would also bog down the story an…
  • I notice how you left out Connery, Dalton and Lazenby, @Visitor1982, from your enthusiasm classes. Craig was doing what Craig does in almost every interview, keeping it self-contained. That's fine. We should know what to expect from him by now. Y…
  • "Rami Malek has already done some Norway stuff," says @lizo. (Spoiler) I somehow don't see the "dangerous new technology" as being anything to do with climate change, especially when mankind's presence is already a far bigger global threat tha…

  • Personally, I believe they wouldn't need to show the kidnap of the scientist if Felix was to turn up at Bond's home only to repeat everything that we've already seen five minutes previously. I think the kidnap will happen before and off-screen, and …

  • As @Getafix stated, the outline does sound quite Dr. No-ish. Rami Malek as the mysterious villain armed with a dangerous new technology. I wonder what this "dangerous new technology" could possibly be? Maybe a more advanced EMP electromagnetic pulse…
  • Interesting synopsis @antovolk: Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist tur…
  • Ana de Armas... great!
  • matt_u wrote: » PS, sorry for being late but many many thanks to @peter who gave us the big news weeks in advance! Precisely. Kudos to @peter for breaking this announcement long in advance of any one else.
  • So what questions do you think should be asked tomorrow, given that we'll probably know the title and cast? 1) Who's performing the title song? 2) Who's composing the score? 3) Will the Scooby Gang take a backseat in this movie? 4) Will Bond g…

  • I'm sorry but Rotten Tomatoes have lost all credibility after their removal of any anti-Captain Marvel audience reviews or ratings to give the movie a positive slant.
  • I've just popped in to see a lot of confusion here. So it's not an actual press conference per se, then? It's more of a televised announcement on a couple of weekday morning programmes that specialise in breaking stories and news updates? Either way…
  • Austin Powers.... now there's a blast from the past @ClarkDevlin. I can't remember much about any of those movies, other than to say I might have laughed once or twice. Maybe the fourth movie, if there ever is one, should be called You Only Laugh Tw…
  • Pippi Longstocking sounds like an Ian Fleming character.
  • Great new season opener. I have a fan theory which maybe the final outcome for the Night King. I'll put it it in spoilers, even though it's only a theory of mine and not fact, nor is it based upon any real leaked spoilers. (Spoiler)
