  • Bond will be released before this. [/quote] Don't be so sure. Eon and Amazon are in no rush.
  • Will the Craig era pick up twenty-five later with Bond's daughter becoming an MI6 agent?[/quote] I know you are joking but rest assured that won't happen.
  • Well, the Governors Ball is half way done and Daniel Craig was the presenter for the Thalberg award. He mentioned that the new Bond might be in the room but then again.....maybe not. Barbara and Michael accepted their awards and gave their speeches.…
  • Because Bond has a tendency to follow trends, I'm glad that a film based on the early Connery films will play well in the States. Time to get back to a self assured in control alpha male who can save the world, fix anything and do whatever he please…

  • Part of the blame for the long gestation period this time around is that the entire industry has changed. Some fellow crew members and myself were talking recently about how we used to get an assignment, agree on what had to be created and then.....…
  • The general audience is not chomping at the bit for the next Bond film. When it shows up they will say "Hey, look it's a new Bond film playing this week, cool", buy their tickets and have a good time. The old Bond fans will be there right beside the…

  • Call me old fashioned but the less we know about Bond personally the better. Just send him on an assignment and let us enjoy the ride as he get's closer to his target and finally vanquishes his latest larger-than-life foe.

  • As much as I rag on EON sometimes, I am secure in my belief that they will not gratuitously overlay Bond with many of the traits expressed in the above posts. No candle lit dinners with cell phones in hand.

  • Regarding NSNA not feeling like an Eon production, I saw it at McClory's house in the Bahamas where he had replaced the score with Barry's Thunderball score and it made a world of difference. Not that it solved all the problems but it sure did help.
