  • No @jetsetwilly , I disagree absolutely; I too liked Dalton but the studio made the best decision for the franchise: Brosnan (my least favourite) was the best man for the job, especially for that big slice of NA box office; Dalton wouldn’t have had …
  • @thelivingroyale … I’ve only seen clips of Bridgerton… Do you think Page has big screen charisma? I’d love to see him without the beard and in a film…

  • King Richard shows how to properly follow through with his forehand stroke....

  • @AstonLotus ...Craig announced in 2017 he was coming back for Bond. This was approximately one year and nine months after Spectre's release. They would not have had another film out with a new actor at that point (and I doubt they would have had …

  • It's very interesting to hear him speak about being brought on to doctor projects like MI: Ghost Protocol where he speaks about finding out what has been shot, what sets are standing, what's still to be built etc. for the first couple of days and th…
  • @GadgetMan , I would need hours to do a script breakdown and the reason why there were some swings in tone. But I feel the biggest reason is the film is a surreal study of watching the end to one man’s life; it’s shot very dream-like…, and; since…
  • @mtm : good question. I think the only way of answering that is to see Spectre’s shooting schedule; how much had they filmed by the time Craig blew out his knee? And then, depending on how much they had in the can, was it worth changing anything at…

  • @007HallY: I believe they went back to the ideas of P&W, but there were heavy re-writes of their material: Cary Fukunaga did a page one re-write. He hired Scott Burns to punch up the action. PWB was hired on for character and dialogue …
  • EoN et al didn’t like the script that was submitted. They wanted script doctors to clean it up and improve on the action. Boyle said no one but Hodge touches the script. And that’s where the relationship died. I think I’ve been saying this sin…

  • Agree, @matt_u ... I won't ever publish how many views I'm up to, but I absolutely fell in love with the film during my first viewing; this love has only cemented itself deeper and deeper with each watch. I adore how the final film wrapped the en…
  • Well said @Venutius …
  • It seems you’re making this far more complex than it has to be @ColonelAdamski …
  • Then @ColonelAdamski — what’s your point? You’ve repeated your displeasure the same way over and over. Is there a different perspective you’re expressing? Or is it the same old, same old? This thread is about where does Bond go after Craig. I…
  • The death of James Bond is far more realistic than anything in Colonel A's post. You're stretching to compare apples to oranges.
  • C'mon @ColonelAdamski .... Hyperbole. You know none of which you wrote above will ever happen. The film was released last October. This thread is Where Does Bond Go AFTER Craig. It's time to let NTTD go. We all know a new Bond is around …
  • @Thunderfinger : if Natalie Portman had an ugly twin sister... That image would be it.
  • Well, they've licenced their names and brand before, and I suppose with the new video game (also given the EoN blessing), and now this show soon to be rolling out, it keeps Bond in the public awareness while they get around to the business of hiring…
  • @Jordo007 , hopefully better than this news of essentially licencing out your name and brand and renting it out to a reality TV program, 😂
  • It’s been in the works for four years??? 🤔…. I’ll definitely be making dates to skip this, 😂. No interest at all. I can’t stand “reality” TV…. And as someone said, sounds like all the other competition series that have come before this. EDI…

  • Playing this game of re-casting one should think like EoN-- who run a business-- not as a fan of an actor/s. What do we know (or think we know) about EoN and where the series goes next? We know BB has said it's a ten year commitment. We know …
