Malek is a great actor, and it would be interesting to have the main villain be younger than Bond again. I could see him playing a Zuckerberg-inspired evil tech type.

Presumably if Bond has retired, he must be in hiding. In Norway? They could do worse than the plot of Nobody Lives Forever.

I think Craig has gotten better actors to commit to Bond. Collectively, Mikkelsen, Amalric, Bardem, and Waltz are a better group of actors than Bean, Pryce, Marceau/Carlyle, and Stephens, but even a very good actor like Waltz can't do much with a…

Shatterhand has been rumored since August 2018. I question why it is in "orange" on page 1. Production Weekly is a legitimate industry source (i.e. someone from the production had to have submitted it).

Agreed. Also Morocco. And the fight in the train is too fast. I do think the climax should have been in Morocco, with London as a coda. The whole exploding MI6 building sequence, and London in the film in general, is such a bore. They should …

The editing of SF is so much better than SP.

YOLT more down to earth. Would we have had this DAF without YOLT? Or a close DAF adaptation more in the spirit of LALD, with Roger Moore. Easy to see Moore and Hedison in that story. A proper adaptation of the FYEO short story, with Bernard …

I'm all for using as much as from the novels as possible...but the Spangs? That's pretty bottom of the barrel Fleming. If they were name-checked a la THR in SP, that would be cool, but that's about all I expect from those characters.

Everyone knows about the rushed QoS and SP scripts, plus don't forget LTK. On the flip side, it's interesting to me to think about the Bond scripts that underwent many, many drafts and massive changes. I believe that OHMSS, TSWLM, and GE fall in…

I agree. It is positively shocking, the change from style and panache in OHMSS to tackiness in DAF. I know the world changed from 1968-70 but wow what could have been in a true follow-up.

Well, Green is a goddess who can do wonders with even bad scripts. Look at half the stuff she's done with Tim Burton. She's always the most watchable person on screen.

Brilliant changes, @FourDot. Nine Eyes as written does nothing for this film, and the idea of Blofeld forcing 00 agents turning on Bond is ingenious. (And really, White could have been revealed as Blofeld. Keep Oberhauser out of it entirely--to…

I have a large bankers' box full of Bond-related magazines and newspaper clippings from approximately 1983-96, when I was an avid collector. Some of these are from the James Bond British Fan Club, some are general media magazines about Bond, really…
