  • Whilst we all know you don't need an established box office name to play James Bond - relative unknown Sean Connery was hired over Cary Grant, Richard Burton - you could make the case you don't want to cast an actor with a bad box office record beca…

  • Well known Bond fan and publisher Graham Rye has given his opinion. From the Sun newspaper: I DON’T think Aaron has the look or the charisma to play James Bond. In fact, none of the bookmakers’ favourites have what it takes. Bond needs to be …

  • You can't make a high budget film without a release date agreed. I've seen nothing online to suggest Amazon has a Bond 26 release date in mind. Pardon my repeating myself but B Broccoli recently said "nothing is happening yet." If that's her hone…

  • Despite Broccoli's recent comments about nothing happening, I guess Amazon would put gentle pressure on Eon to get things moving so a November 2025 release is possible. I dunno. If you were a tad cynical you could make the case these 'Bond news i…
