  • Cary is a fashionable chap - any chance we'll finally get a vintage-style poster for B25?
  • Good lord. Like many of you, I have nothing but respect for the commitment Dan has brought to the role. My favourite Bond, in fact. And I have no doubt that he'll do whatever he can to deliver another great performance. But those photos . . . …

  • On the other hand, I think anyone hoping Craig might be coming back for B26 is probably not feeling very optimistic these days . . . he's got to be knackered.
  • That one night-shoot extra looks like she's wearing fishnet stockings. Anyone tie that back to the scene that was shot at the nightclub, in Jamaica? I'm wondering if maybe Bond has a meet up at a club?
  • My wager is that we don't have a proper 'car chase' per se in Norway. There might be some fast driving or something - maybe a rushed transit from A to B. But given it was a pretty quick shot I'd guess that we won't see all sorts of gunplay or expl…

  • Interesting about the shooting in Black Park - it resembles the Norwegian cabin set in some ways: old mixed forest, flat to rolling terrain, freshwater lakes. . . It really is going to be a interesting bit of detective work stitching together the…
  • Curiouser and curiouser. It is a lovely looking car, but I'd prefer something contemporary provided we're not shooting a flashback. For now I think I'm going to just tell myself that it's a stand-in for whatever vehicle they'll use on the day. …
  • What's everyone's take on the PS5 rumours? I still have a PS3, having not upgraded to the 4. If the 5 is to be backward-compatible, I won't bother with a 4 at all. Most of the games I'd want to play on the 4 (Uncharted, for instance) would run wel…
  • Look, I understand that writing a film is very hard work - especially a billion-dollar monster like Bond. But good lord, I consistently read ideas that would have greatly improved SP, from simple little fixes to overhauls. I like the movie, but …

  • (For the record, I'm a very big fan of SF too.) For my part I think it would be a great fit for Craig's final film to be a little bit of a throwback: a tough villain with a visceral plot that Craig brings down mano-a-mano. Please, not more allusi…

  • I've said this before, but I hope we don't end up with a 'tech villain' plot again. I think we've hit diminishing returns there and should give it a rest for a while. A few thoughts: -In the case of Silva and Blofeld, it wasn't totally clear wha…
  • Again though - do we really think there was any fight choreography going on in 1-degree water? You'd be in heated drysuits and helmets. In that case, no need for Craig to do it himself. Did we see evidence of extensive underwater shooting in the pho…
  • For what it's worth it was a stunning day up there - perfect weather.
  • I happened to be in the alps today, near the Schilthorn. Seemed to be some sort of Bond affair going on - a Rolls Royce full of henchmen in Mürren, some photographers around, etc. Some sort of anniversary event, perhaps?
  • What are we to make of all this? Seems a bit garbled to me. Does anyone really think that Craig was in Norway filming underwater fight scenes in water that's 1 degree above freezing? I don't get it, I'm afraid.
  • Rami is a different-looking chap, isn't he? And related to that photo, if you wanted to cast a 'young Craig,' you could certainly do worse than Taran Edgerton.
