  • Slightly optimistic about this after being hugely letdown by Skyfall. Still not sure about the rumour of Moneypenny's back in the field story, nor am I enthusiastic about the new Q. But I'm willing to give it a chance. Obviously Hinx is a work…
  • I think a better fit for the part of Rosie Carver would have been Vonetta McGee.
  • Great post @timmer. I think you've pretty much expressed my own feelings and misgivings that I share with you on SF and the direction Mendes has taken Bond. For the first time in my life I have to admit that I'm neither excited nor intrigued by the …
  • Just a quick search informs me that Nikki van der Zyl stepped in one last time for Moonraker to provide the voice of Corinne Clery, so the answer is no. All that is said is that Carole Bouquet was dubbed by a 40-something woman in For Your Eyes Only…
  • I can think of one actor that fits the bill and might be ready for 007 when Craig hands in his notice, and that is Dan Stevens from Downton Abbey and next to be seen in the movie The Guest which looks like a fun actioner. Hopefully EON will have …
  • You're forgiven, @BAIN. Though there's only really LALD's tenuous link to Blaxploitation and TMWTGG's link to Kung Fu that has any cinematic nods for that period. DAF is really doing its own thing and can't be considered to be following any current …

  • I would have to go for Cleese as I really didn't like the nerdy, trainspotter "Richard Ayoade" rendition seen in SF. As an alternative Major Boothroyd I still prefer Peter Burton's take seen in Dr No. So my order is.. Desmond Llewelyn Peter Burton…
  • And here is the teaser poster for Mad Max: Fury Road...
  • I'd have to go with Emilia Clarke if they're casting a Brit in a role. Though she does appear to be busy with the new Terminator and Game of Thrones.

  • I think some of us picked up on the first cracks in the screenplay development a while back and aren't in the least bit surprised to read that another team of writers (in this case P&W) have been brought back to knock the script into shape befor…
  • You beat me to it, @QsAssistant.
  • ITV have offered more glimpses into their CGI/live-action remake of Thunderbirds. Entitled Thunderbirds are Go! and set for a 2015 release, only a few sneak images have managed to find their way onto the internet such as this in-progress sketch of a…

  • Maybe you are a "seasoned fan"... maybe you're not, @WillyGalore? It depends how old you are and when you first became a fan. I'm afraid I know nothing about you so it's not for me to say. Lazenby and Connery were Bond when I first came on-board so …
  • It's a case of reading in between the lines, @WillyGalore. Something that a seasoned fan of the series does when digesting the snippets of info that comes our way. Firstly, Sony announced its plan to release Bond 24 in theaters by 2014 – before t…
  • I'm with @Suivez_ce_parachute on this one. I recall many posters here applauding the 3-year-gap of Bond 24 as a godsend as it would give the writers and producers ample time to get the new script right and not turn out another ill-conceived QoS whic…
  • Great post, @timmer. You've nailed my sentiments exactly.
  • Sorry, Sam. I didn't see your earlier comment. Yes, I sort of thought that might be a possibility, though part of me thinks that most A-List actors (which Ejiofor can now be classed as) might not want to rush from one movie to the next and choose th…
  • It's always refreshing to read your comments, @Suivez_ce_parachute. Thank you. On another slightly different subject, it looks like the casting of Chiwetel Ejiofor looks increasingly unlikely as he has just committed to the English-language remak…

  • I don't know whether anyone has seen this tease from Zack Snyder but he has posted an image via Tweet that shows a glimpse of the new Batmobile, the rear-end. http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/batman/30485/zack-snyder-reveals-the-new-batmobile

  • News on the new Star Wars movie is looking a little sparse in relation to tidbits on how the early production is going, so I'll add a few things that are happening from various dispatches. Though the Disney head honcho Alan Horn dismissed the report…
  • After giving some of you geeks feedback from the test screenings of the new Mad Max movie I've decided to post some of the positive buzz surrounding the first press screenings of Bryan Singer‘s X-Men: Days of Future Past which took place on Thursday…
  • Hello fellow geeks. I thought I'd pop back and give you an update on the new Mad Max movie as there's been sweet FA happening on the Bond front.... An updated synopsis has been released for Mad Max: Fury Road, as reports from the first test scree…
  • Thanks for that @Sam. I'm just reading more comments on the subject and it does appear to be a teaser for the Zoe Ball reveal on Sunday.
  • Radio Times says this: At midnight tonight (or tomorrow morning for those who like to be pedantic) the BBC will make a time-and-space-shattering announcement about Doctor Who. We are sworn to secrecy, but it might be worth staying up late/ setting …
