  • Very cool, @DewiWynBond , @Dragonpol , @LucknFate .... You guys are very creative, by the way! I enjoy reading all the suggestions, and there are very many viable "Bond-sounding" titles...
  • Questions to all of the people participating: when thinking of a title, do you first imagine the tone of the film, then fit a title to that? Do you think of tone, and a basic story, then a title? Or jump straight to a title that sounds Bond-li…

  • I'd redo it like this: instead of the bland shoot-em-up on Carver's ship, Bond and Wei Lin are actually in Beijing so the nuke is a direct threat to them. Bond does something clever with Carver's media network, like broadcast some embarrassing foota…

  • @bondywondy , he said what they did: looked at younger actors (Cavill being 22 during auditions). They just found that older actors bring more weight, hence the older, more seasoned actor in Craig ultimately winning the part. Why’d you think he’s…

  • Just went on to look at the rest of your posters. Really incredible, @bartnikp ... I love the YOLT poster, with what appears to be a seething and manic Blofeld, readying himself to crush 007... You're very talented, and bring a very cool, very dark …

  • Yes @sandbagger1 and @LucknFate ... Add on six month shoots, then tours of the world that's really hopping on one flight to another, when the films open. Someone like Dornan has a family and seems very protective of them. Leaving them for half a …

  • You’re right @Creasy47 . The man has been saying it for years. He's announced this will be his last film. His had Bill Maher begging him not to do this, but QT is sticking to his guns. This isn’t a rumour.
  • If @Mendes4Lyfe is to take EoN at their word, didn’t they already mention, quite a while ago, that they’d be going back to discuss things with P and W? From the James Bond Dossier: Who will write Bond 26? Broccoli has said that Neal Purvis and…
