Eon are a lot more advanced in the first draft of Bond 25 than they're letting on. I don't know who is involved in the actual writing but I do know it was being worked on before the premiere of Spectre - just like the good old days. Whether they end…

Whoever they cast when Craig stands down, it's bound to be someone we haven't even considered yet for the role, quietly tolling away at his profession. Truth be, we don't even know when the next Bond movie is due to come out. Quite possibly 2018, wi…

Good response, @ForYourEyesOnly. Of course, @bondjames, the earlier Bond's always had their tongue firmly in their cheek, so to speak. I think what you've just highlighted is what's known as a quip. Though it did serve some purpose as it made it …

I tend to agree with @AceHole that FYEO, OP and AVTAK would have been tailored to Dalton's strengths had he been cast in them, and altered accordingly to accommodate a different 007. To suggest that these three movies would've been exact mirror imag…

Yes, I agree with your comments, @AlexanderWaverly. So Digital Spy claims: However, his rep has said that no decision has been made, and although he will film Purity it doesn't necessarily mean he can't do both. Well, at least Digital Spy aren't…

The stage play could have been got round with a bit of rejigging, but not the so-rumoured 20 episode apiece Purity tv series. That is a bold statement, folks. No way should Eon wait for Craig to complete a tv show and fit around his schedule - this …

The biggest missed opportunity has to be not making the original Casino Royale with Sean Connery as intended. The fact that producer Charles K. Feldman balked at Connery's $1-million salary demand has to be one of the most irrational decisions in th…

Great post and critique of J. Mark's piece in the NY Times, @Revelator. It's clear that the journalist completely misjudged the audience that night after the showing. And even if he did have a intuitive understanding and insight into what the audien…

That's a shame, @Trip Aces. Though, surely if your provide a link at the bottom of the complete piece, does it not provide some legitimacy to repeating the infomation? Shame, I was hoping to read the entire article.

The problem I have with Alien³ is the same one I have with Alien 4; it's too Ripley centric. Sigourney Weaver's presence in the franchise is as pivotal as the title monster itself, which to me is just plain wrong. The other problem I have with these…

Why not post the entire article, Trip Aces? I, like the majority here, do not hold a NY Times account. Otherwise, this nugget of info is just an appetizer and, perhaps, should be posted on one of the many other OHMSS discussions. You still hav…

Saw Bowie on the Serious Moonlight Tour back in the early 80's. A great performer, fantastic song writer. I read the reason why Bowie turned down Zorin in AVTAK was he was worried his stunt double would get more screen time than himself in the role.…

The Revenant Visually amazing, breath-taking in fact. The movie is a brutal depiction of man against the wild. Loved it. I won't bore you with the plot as most of you are well informed and already know it's a story about revenge after a brutal be…

My ranking 1. Star Wars (A New Hope) 2. EMPIRE 3. Menace 4. Sith 5. Clones 6. Jedi 7. Awakens Also, I'd like to remind those that weren't around in 1977 that it was no secret that Lucas had borrowed elements from other movies. There was …

I guess I didn't allow any emotional attachment to cloud my judgement of Force Awakens when I first viewed it, @DarthDimi. The reason it sits at no 10 of my Stinkers List is for the simple reason it just didn't do anything for me; I felt no emotion …

Cool, @RC7. I'll have to watch that scene more carefully next viewing.

Folk on other sites are claiming Daniel Craig's cameo as the Stormtrooper in Awakes is obvious. He's the one who is Jedi mind tricked into releasing Rey's handcuffs. They claim if you watch carefully you can see his swagger when he leaves, Bond is u…

I've just seen it myself, I'm afraid it's not better than the original New Hope, even though it pretty much borrows the entire story wholesale. It's not bad, it's a servicable fan-made flick of how a Star Wars sequel should look, but ends up sadly b…

Yes, I had Aidan Turner pegged alongside Dan Stevens as a possible 007 contender too.
