It’s been interesting and the cast is good, but ‘A.I’ has been mentioned which makes me worry it’s going to descend into twaddle. Decades ago any time ‘Virtual Reality’ was mentioned in a TV show I knew nonsense was coming, and these days ‘A.I.’ Is…

I find him slightly odd-looking, but I’ve been watching him in A Murder at the End of the World and think he’s a decent actor. He wouldn’t be in my top five but what do I know?

Calam Lynch certainly has acting pedigree, being part of the Cusack clan.

Isaacs is pretty great in everything (particularly incredible as 'Hap' Percy in The O.A., one of the most fascinating villains ever for me), but I think he's someone else who gained gravitas and charisma as he got older. Even though I was a fan, I'm…

I'm another one for Greece. Beautiful and romantic (if you can get rid of all the British 18-30 tourists!), I think it would be great for Bond to return there.

I always read Daniel Craig's comment with a humorous inflection, but then I'd read the whole interview. I actually laughed at his statement, iirc. That's the trouble with print journalism, though - the journalist can subvert a comment by the way the…

Fans generally have a more solid vision of a character than that of the author(s), because the author always has a whole range of possibilities that they kill by making solid decisions, and that is always a difficult aspect of creation that can carr…

Everyone is looking for a bargain, especially these days.

Swindells is a decent pick. The fact he's in Sex Education (which I still haven't seen) which is I believe a hit with the younger demographic would probably make him attractive to Eon.

I think Alex Garland has been mentioned before, but I'll bring him up again. I liked Ex Machina and the TV mini Devs, and of course he wrote the script for Dredd. I think they could do a lot worse, if he's interested that is.

I think it becomes clearer that the TV show and the game are there to keep Bond in the public consciousness during the dormancy of the film franchise.

I think when Mendes4Lyfe says Skyfall isn’t ‘stylish’ he means ‘stylized’. Think of the original Star Trek TV show’s acting and directing style - it’s very stylized, exaggerated and theatrical rather than today’s more naturalistic style. That’s the …
-
I get what Mendes4Lyfe is saying, he’s talking about that style of directing which, for example, North by Northwest has - not naturalistic but somewhat contrived… I’m not sure if ‘theatrical’ is the right term, but it’s not really in fashion at the …

I like Sam Claflin and I think he’d be one of my picks for Bond, but I think at the speed things are moving he might hit 40 before they get going on the next film.
