Here is the plain and simple truth. At this moment in time there is no-one who is completely right for Bond. Lots of the names mentioned already would be OK but nothing more than OK. Hiddleston has charm and sophistication but not the toughness, Elb…

Slight mistake in last post. I did of course mean to spell Walton Goggins. Apologies

Talking of Tarantino, the last movie I watched was his latest The Hateful Eight. Typical Tarantino really, great characters, superb dialogue, actors performing at the top of their game. Standout performances for me being Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason…

I am sorry but just cannot join in with love fest for Mad Max Fury Road. For me it was by far the biggest disappointment of 2015. Where was the lean, mean, adrenaline fuelled action of Road Warrior? Well certainly not herd. This was more Beyond Thu…

I remember reading somewhere that the tank chase sequence in GoldenEye was re-scored by John Ottoman because Serra's original version wasn't up to scratch. As that is a great piece of music I say give him the whole film. If Newman goes good riddenc…

After SP ( which I thought was great ) I would be cool with Mendes returning a third time. But what the productions really need more than anything is some new writing talent. May I suggest Mark Gatiss. An excellent writer with an inate understanding…
-
What the hell is a supposed Bond fan doing when he say's he hope's SP underperforms at the US box office just to get rid of Mendes. Madness. Movies today are in a perilous state and when you've invested upwards of $300 in a movie studios want a goo…

I would normally rather stick pins in my eyes than watch anything from Michael Bay but I love Pearl Harbor. It suffered from not being Saving Private Ryan in the eyes of the stuffy critics but it never tried to be like that film. If was in fact a th…
-
As is always the case with one person's opinions Horowitz makes some very valid points and some not so. I do agree with the comments about Bond's self doubt in both QoS and SF. There was never a single frame of film where Connery indulged in any kin…

I have not read every page on this thread so forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but THE best show on TV right now is the brilliant Banshee. Of interest to people on this site because it stars two Bond alumni, Ulrich Thompson from WINE a…

Newman is a generic composer nothing more.His scores work perfectly fine within the context of the film he's working on without ever being outstanding in their own right. However I don't think he got the Bond sound at all. I think he watched to many…
-
I have skipped the last few pagesvof this thread because I have no desire to find out anything until I see the movie. I do not understand why some people ( not on this site in particular, just in general movie terms ) have to know every cough and sp…

I'm afraid some of the negative comments on here regarding Martin Campbell have made my blood boil. He may not have the acclaim and the Oscar's of someone like Mendez or Apted but he has directed the two best Bond movies of the last twenty years and…
-
I think what John Cleese was really refering to was the general attitude of the recent Bond movies. That they have on the whole lost their sense of fun. I dont mean the blatant and often silly humour of Moore's movies(although i love Roger's Bond my…
-
Sadly we are now living in a world where an exiting, funny and unusual film like Edge of Tomorrow flops and Transformers 4 does 100 million in its opening weekend. I despair. Can we blame the studios or are audiences getting what they seem to really…

I can't believe you have all missed the point of Austin Powers. It was never a parody of Bond but in fact a parody of all the Bond spoofs and rip offs of the sixties. Matt Helm, Derek Flint are the real inspiration for Powers. Watch those films now …
-
Listening to the Chris Evens breakfast show Friday morning to hear guest David Arnold. The other guest was Sophie Ellis Bextor who did a fantastic rendition of Nobody Does It Better at the end of the show. I think she would do a great job on a Bond …

I see a lot of movies and watch a lot of TV and i cant see any British actor out there at the moment that i could point to and say there's your next Bond. I do think that the next incumbant needs to be a little lighter in tone to distance himself fr…
-
So glad this thread is here its about time the great man Mr.Moore had some respect for his portrayal of Bond. I have been a fan of Roger for as long as i can remember, from early memories of The Saint to The Persuaders all the way to Bond and beyond…
-
Not that fussed about Deakins non return, always thought his work on Skyfall was wildly overrated anyway simply because of his reputation. I am not saying his work was bad just pretty ordinary. You want to see a really good looking Bond movie? That …
-
A strange choice some may say, but i would like to recommend Russell Watson. I would like to have a male vocalist next time and he certainly has a strong, powerful voice. Also it wouldnt be the first title song he's done having sung the title track …

I honestly cannot think of one good reason why Mark Strong would not be a fine addition to the Bond world, its not just a case of liking someone. Talking of cliche's wouldnt having another continental accented villian be a cliche in itself. Four in…
-
Mark Strong. -Pros. Friends with Craig. Good at playing villians without ever seeming to resort to stereotypes. Check out Kick Ass or Welcome To The Punch -Well known but not to famous -Cons...None

Hate to be pedantic but isnt MGM a giant corporation. They hold the purse strings and therefore the future of Bond. Personally i think the biggest threat to Bonds future is actually the current producers. Seven films they have now produced and only …
-
While i was not the biggest fan of Skyfall i am actually glad to see Mendes back. I think it will bring a continuity of style that has been missing by constantly using different directors and hopefully it will give him the chance to improve on the …
-
My point was that some people say that an American director would simply not understand the Britishness of the character. I say that the American producer's, especially in the early days of Cubby and Harry ,understood the Britishness very well. So …

To all those who say no to an american director i say only this. Cubby Broccoli, Harry Saltzman, Michael Wilson, Barbara Broccoli..All North American

Just as Craig has reinvented Bond and made him feel real again i see no reason they couldn't do the same with Blofeld. Make him more like the character in the books and if it was written and played well then why not. Watching Daybreak the other the …
-
The single most important thing for me in the next Bond director is to have someone who has a real love for the character and the movies like Mendes did and not just som eone who see's it as just another job e.g. Apted, Forster and Tamahori.
-
Why so many comments about Nolan directing Bond 24. He has already made it quite clear he would only come onboard at a certain point in time, which everyone seems to take as meaning that when a new Bond actor is cast. As Craig is on for 2 more there…
