  • The motorbike stunt is cgi. The mountain terrain, the background all composites. Cruise did do jumps with wire safety as YouTube video promotion but we'll have to see if any of that footage actually appears in the final cut. The halo jump was all…

  • Currently reading With A Mind To Kill... I wonder if Steel Hand would have been a better/more suitable title for the novel? Personally, I'd have gone with that title. It's the name of the criminal organisation. Sounds sinster. With A Min…

  • GQ magazine on Amazon Prime Video spy show Citadel: If Citadel is Richard Madden's Bond audition, he's not getting the job Madden is compelling in Citadel, slightly dodgy American accent aside (which, of course, wouldn't be an issue if h…

  • Dean would have probably died in a car crash anyway. Apparently he was a crazy driver so my guess is he wouldn't have reached old age. It was claimed he had a death wish due to depression. Dean's mother died when he was a boy. Older actors tend t…

  • I haven't seen the film so I assume the title makes perfect sense but I'd rate.. Operation Mincemeat ...one of the worst title I've ever seen. ;)) I'm glad Ian Fleming never wrote a title like... Operation Kill Dr. No 🤭 Ian Flem…
  • Disney has tarnished its brand with the handling of Star Wars. Countless Star Wars films announced and axed. Lucasfilm (owned by Disney) has made Star Wars a laughing stock. Every feature film announced after Rise of Skywalker (ep 9) has been cance…
  • It seems a black and white kinda thing. No middle ground. If you never want to see Bond die then you can *never approve* of the decision to kill him off nor approve of NTTD's ending. No-one will ever convince you to look at the overall merits …

  • It crossed my mind... you could argue getting lots of press attention as the next Bond may be detrimental to your mental health! For example: Aaron Taylor-Johnson may actually believe he will be the next Bond (let's say he did a positive screente…
  • With tv show Willow axed (announced yesterday!) and alleged low viewers for Mandalorian season 3, Lucasfilm need IJ 5 to be a sizable hit. Will it be? I dunno. I just wonder if Gen Z movie goers won't be enticed to see a 80 year old action hero. …
  • I don't approve of the death of James Bond. I will never support it. I felt it was completely unnecessary and silly because you're supposed to watch No Time To Die and feel sadness when Bond dies but a few minutes later the end credits roll and info…
  • There's an actor in Emmerdale with a reasonable Bond look. Lawrence Robb. Age 30. Scottish. Obviously you have to imagine him playing a tough secret agent. You can't tell from that clip of any potential. I dunno! Margo Robbie was in A…
  • Here's a fine example of moaning... Eva's Green crazy and hilarious rant at film makers.... The actress, who played Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale and also starred in the BBC1 series The Luminaries, is suing White Lantern for her fee of $1milli…
  • Once Upon A Spy... sounds like an episode title from the James Bond Jnr tv show. ;)) Other episode titles.... Live And Let Dance Weather Or Not Rubies Aren't Forever No Time To Lose (hmm... sounds familiar) ;)

  • I think Bond needs an edge to his look. It's not about just being handsome. Bond is meant to have some edge to his look. Ideally a bit intimidating or aloof or whatever term you want to use. This is why Henry Cavill isn't quite right. Maybe lacks t…
  • US interview: He has a bit of a Hollyoaks vibe. Hollyoaks is a long running UK TV soap with a predominantly younger cast. On initial glance he could easily be a cast member on that show so I don't see enough 'stand out quality' but who knows! …
  • Given Bond said resurrection was his hobby in Skyfall, and Bond 26 is Bond somehow brought back to life via the magic of screenwriting (!)... it could make sense to feature the word in the title. You could call Bond 26 RESURRECTION 😉
  • I would like to see a more sci-fi emphasis in the next Bond actor era. It doesn't have to be parallel dimensions (lol) but AI robots, advanced AI drones, the dark web, driverless tactical weapons based vehicles etc, some sci fi variation on a virus,…
