It’s inevitable that any series that has been around for 60 plus years (not many of those, are there), will become weaker in any cycle. Although I loved the Bond films from the 80s, their box office shows they were in decline. During the hiatu…

I even think that it was published news, no? Once casting and 26 is on the way, i believe the goal for future films will be on a three-four year schedule. But remember that the investment isn’t just for Bond; Amazon bought all of MGM and its libr…

I just don’t know if Amazon sees that EoN needs a fire under them? This is a multi billion IP they’ve brought into the Amazon fold. Their films are wildly successful— no matter what’ one’s personal tastes. The last time Eon had a so-called “stink…

I only have time right now to watch an episode at a time, but a mate of mine has been rewatching all the Picard S3 episodes to date; on the second watches, he’s pausing and checking out all the Easter eggs and details they’ve put in. Including th…

@CrabKey The challenge of finding new, fresh stories, film, Bond adventures: “Many academics, most notably author Christopher Booker, believe there are only seven basic narrative plots in all of storytelling – frameworks that are recycled agai…

If Michelangelo’s David is pornography, we are at the end of times. As far as I’m concerned, I could care less if a person is a believer (of anything : God, UFOs, Bigfoot), but I just would hope there’s also a basic appreciation of science and ar…

I wasn’t born in the original era but it was that era that my dad educated me on. To this day, the first four films are still magical— that’s why I’d never want to go back and try and capture that period. It’d be nothing but a poor facsimile of the …

@Torgeirtrap it’s an excellent book and we are hoping to be in front of cameras by summer or fall!

@CrabKey yes we are. @ColonelSun was actually on the post team that worked on EoN’s Licence to Kill. I’m working on the film adaptation of BA Paris’s The Therapist with Elizabeth Fowler as my producer.

@jetsetwilly … It’s a 60 year franchise. No other film series can boast this. Most have died out, or like Indy Jones, take longgggg pauses to figure out where they’re taking their IP. Let EoN figure this out so they can blast back on the scene li…

I'm with you @thelivingroyale ... The film would have to be so outlandish, but even then, I'd be too curious not to check it out.

And that’s why @Mendes4Lyfe is a producer for an independent film company, producing blockbuster tent poles.

But by then they're already deep into the process They’re still in development when the script is being written, so they’re not deep in the process, but the process of developing a modern blockbuster script takes time. If they had a massiv…

It’s funny to you. And that’s awesome. Hope you’re enjoying yourself. Personally, I thought you were funnier as our one and only James Bond candidate. But you had your say, you stuck up for a member (who has a spotty history on how he’s treated o…
-
But @Mendes4Lyfe , I’m not talking about your personal tastes in a film. Should EoN take the time they need to develop a script? Or; Even if the story is in trouble (like Spectre), should they still release anyway— to hit their three year rele…

But I'm not saying churn out films like a sausage factory, I'm merely saying faster than 2 films a decade is 100% doable and within their control. If putting films "through proper development" leads to a final product like SP and B25 then perhaps th…

Can you imagine being in a position where *every* time the public is expecting you to deliver the best Bond film ever? You'd take your time too. I’m not sure if this concept exists on fan sites anymore @echo ( maybe it never did, 😂 ). Look at…

I hear you @MakeshiftPython ... we live in a drive-through culture. People want things yesterday, and when they finally get what they want, half way through, they’re already thinking about the next actor, next film, or next meal, or next trip. I …

I have no idea what EoN did after Spectre— other than producing a few other films (actually seven non-Bond films were produced by EoN between ‘14-‘22), which you may not have seen. They also produced theatrical productions. Which is well within thei…

We got four films in thirteen years (since there’s no incumbent Bond at the moment I’m not counting the last two years), because there was MGM’s financial woes (again), and a worldwide pandemic that shut down everything for three years— and we are s…

But it wouldn’t really change anything. There are no stakes or consequences. It’s just a “what if?….” … we are not really changing history, we are just imagining a similar story with Connery in the role… or Moore… or whomever. It’s really just…

Also, I cannot believe they are daring to remake Vertigo, surely one of the greatest films of all time. Yes, @echo … one of the most depressing things I read all week (and the news, on any subject, isn’t exactly rosy, so most-depressing-story…

And it’s been five and a half years since Justice League was released, @Mendes4Lyfe … and they just got around to canning Cavill as Supes and developing new ideas for both BM and SM (and others). And the last Superman film was when? Ten years ago (a…
