I don't know whether anyone came across The Week article on Dalton where he discussed turning down GoldenEye? He goes on to say: “When [the next movie] did come about, it was probably four or five years later. Broccoli asked if I would come back, an…

This'll only interest a select few here but the rediscovery of the fabled ‘lost episode’, Tunnel of Fear has surfaced. TUNNEL OF FEAR is the twentieth episode of the first series of the 1960s cult British spy-fi television show, starring Ian Hendry,…

Some of these comments are fun to read. Some are insightful and some just show a complete miss-understanding of how these movies were made. One thing I do agree with is that I much preferred Tiffany in the first half of the movie when she was sassy.…

Been away a while, but I come back to find this Reddit fellow as the source of the latest gossip. Dear-oh-deary-me. OK, let's just pretend for one minute that what Mr. Reddit-man reports is true: That would mean that Bond's new role is a tutor for a…

Ok. I see, so we're talking retrospectively about Lazenby, not during his own solo tenure then? Just a side note, but the critics weren't as influential back then as they are today. I wish people wouldn't keep bring up the critical response as a rea…

Given the current crop of artists available, I don't want anyone signing it. Not that I'm what you'd call a fan but maybe Rihanna could still belt out a good tune?

I think one of the major contributing factors as to why OHMSS might have under-performed, was due to Lazenby announcing before he'd finished the 11 month shoot that he was quitting the role. This was before the movie had even been premiered or been …

Jackman was way too heavily associated with Wolverine to have been Bond, unless you're talking before he was cast in X-Men, when he was mostly known for Aussie TV shows like Snowy River: The McGregor Saga and stage musicals? Then it would have been …

My personal two favourites of Glen's are TLD and OP, not for their story content but for their overall aesthetic appeal. To my eyes (only) OP looks more in keeping with a Lewis Gilbert production than any of Glen's other Bond movies, which is why I'…

I'd say that Henry Cavill is currently the right age to play Bond now. I'm afraid by the time B26 comes around, he'll just be too old to be starting the franchise off. I still feel the producers need to stick with the notion of 00 agents taking mand…

There's no denying that Roger Moore looked great in LALD, despite himself suffering from a kidney stone and being in somewhat poor health during the early stages of production. I just feel the producers didn't want to take another gamble again on a …

Looks great fun. The fact that is has my favourites in it, The Guardians, I'll be there.

Having said all that, I don't think they'll be following Fleming too closely as 00 agents face mandatory retirement at 45, which would make Craig pretty much redundant in his own movie. However, B25 could involve the lesser seen division of the 00 B…

I think it's a case of striking a fine balance. Connery best summed it up when he said that with his Bond the audience was laughing with him, but with Moore's Bond it shifted to laughing at him. Myself, I prefer it when the quips are dry and the hum…

I agree @LeonardPine. I'm also hoping that we'll get see Bond back in a casino once more — something that's been pretty much neglected since Craig's first outing as Bond — and that we come full circle.

I don't understand why the majority feel that Arnold is an automatic shoe-in for the composer job on B25 when Boyle hasn't worked with Arnold in quite some time. Surely if one name would be top of the list then it would be A.R. Rahman, or even John …

That was one of my own thoughts @PanchitoPistoles. It could very well involve the Queen or a member of the Royal Family. However, I'm hoping that it doesn't.
