  • California is now under lockdown! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-51970815 California has issued a "stay at home" order to residents as it tries to stem the march of the coronavirus across the most populous US state. Governor Ga…
  • Universal Pictures is fast tracking its new theatrical releases onto streaming platforms. https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/16/21182142/universal-films-theater-early-release-rentals-price-on-demand-movies The upcoming Trolls World Tour, which w…
  • You could spend the time writing a long essay on how the Bond franchise would have turned out if A) Roger Moore has been the first Bond B) George Lazenby made a sequel to OHMSS and C) how awful the Disney young Bond franchise would be. :P

  • Coronavirus is a SARS based virus. It's actually SARS version 2. Covid-19 refers to the disease. “Co” refers to corona, “vi” to virus, and “d” to disease. The virus that causes the disease is SARS-CoV-2, which was named by the International Com…
  • Just heard on the radio - all UK cinema chains closing due to CR. The decision to delay NTTD turned out to be the right move as the cinema chains weren't going to show it. Some of the states in the US have also shut down their cinemas. Hopefully …
  • All cinemas in the UK closing due to cr. I guess the decision to delay NTTD turned out right. No cinema was going to show it anyway!
  • File in the 'you couldn't make this up' folder: People queuing for toilet roll at a newly opened UK supermarket (according to The Daily Mail - the world's most honest newspaper - lol). I don't know if that is funny, sad, serious, bizarre. …
  • There is a huge potential problem that few people are considering.... What if coronavirus remains active, never goes away? Flu has never been eradicated, kills around 50 - 60 thousand people per year even with vaccines. Are we all going to remain…
  • If the new sci-fi comic book film The Eternals is huge it will increase Richard Madden's chances? I think it's his biggest movie star type role yet. The Eternals is out 6th November, a few weeks before NTTD. If he is decent in the role, heroic an…
  • Based on what I've read online - and you got be open minded about what how accurate things are online - season flu kills around 50 - 60,000 people per year. Coronavirus has killed just over 6,000 people. It's doubtful to exceed the flu's mortality…
  • I can't see NTTD doing poor or average box office. I feel most film goers will want to see how the Craig era ends, how the loose plot-ends tie up. What happens to Bond, Madeleine, what is Safin's link to SPECTRE and Blofeld, what secret does Blofel…
  • If the plot is about germ warfare I'm guessing it may get some criticism. "Coronavirus type Bond plot angers victims!" Everyone loves to complain! As for reshoots... seven months of reshoots? Blimey, they might as well shoot Bond 26 at the…
  • If No Time To Die is the only big budget studio release to get a long delay, it might turn out to be the wrong decision. If the summer box office holds up, it will be the wrong decision. I dunno, perhaps. It's really a 'wait and see' scenario. P…
  • Farewell to Ming. Mongo (and sci-fi nerds such as myself) will remember you. His Bond role was kinda small. Never got to see him as the main villain but it was nice to see him part of the Bond universe. RIP
  • Re the tabloid news about Daniel Craig returning for a sixth Bond film, https://www.mi6-hq.com/news/tabloids-claim-daniel-craig-may-now-be-tempted-to-a-sixth-film-200306 ... at the start of his Saturday Night Live show monologue on 7th March h…

  • Not sure if this is the right thread for this but could be big news. Google News: Daniel Craig is reportedly reconsidering his previous claim that No Time To Die would be his last James Bond film and may return for a sixth installment. The acto…
  • Could be nonsense but the Mirror newspaper is claiming Craig may return for a sixth Bond film. If there is any truth to this (who knows!) this thread is going to go on for a looooooooong time. ;)) https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/dani…
  • If you look at the corona virus logically the stats suggest or prove we're all experiencing mass hysteria. As of today... Cases in the UK 116. Population of the UK 66. 4 million. Statistically speaking got more chance of winning the lotter…
  • The more you think about it... the more it seems convenient. One website is claiming MGM will take a 50 million dollar hit by delaying - however this may be a blessing in disguise for Eon. They didn't want to release Bond in April 2020. It was meant…
  • I think the decision to delay NTTD to November may be foolhardy. All it takes is another studio to release a film during spring/summer and it grosses close to a billion - which is possible - and it will prove there was no reason to delay NTTD. Obvio…
  • I am a fan of this website and everything, but I feel this article is wrong on many levels. https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/opinion-delay-no-time-to-die-release-corona-virus-pandemic?id=04666 I respectfully disagree. This article feel…
  • Aidan Turner must be in with a chance. As mentioned above, right kinda age, seems a good actor, not too famous but not too unknown, has appeared in a popular tv show. Seems to tick most boxes. And from what I've seen of him in interviews, comes over…
  • The next Bond actor is probably listed on the actor's website Spotlight. It has the largest database of UK actors. You need to be a member of the site, paid up, to view the directory of actors but you never know... he could be listed. A future star …
  • You beat me to it, DaltonCraig007! I was just going to post the international box office for this film but I saw your post. The worldwide box office total insanely bad! Blooming heck. Oh my. Gosh. Oh dear. Etc. It's amusing to think Barbara Brocc…

  • Always felt miscast to me in looks and charm. Never took to him and never will. He looked kinda cringy in the close up shots in Skyfall. Pale, stale and male. Eon never even made an effort to make him look remotely sophisticated or stylish in that f…
  • I could see Eon going with a younger Idris Elba type black actor. I think it's possible. If a younger black actor appears in a high profile tv show or film, the media could hype him. Fan or no fan of Elba, his age was always a negative but a late 20…
  • No Time To Die - orchestral version done on a computer. The composer is a postman. Amazing what you can do on a computer. =D>
