I could see them going for a female director. Is Sam-Taylor Johnson not high-profile enough?

I would guess 2026, maybe 2027, no idea about summer or winter release dates for big films these days, though.

Everyone agrees there are certain fundamentals which should not be discarded, it's just that fandom can't agree what they are.
-
Overhype tends to put expectations too high and bring out the contrarian in people. When I first watched Skyfall I thoroughly enjoyed it, but when I was asked by someone if it was the best Bond film like the papers were saying, I laughed and said 'n…

I think it's likely the next film will have a high action quotient to showcase the new (young) Bond, particularly if the new guy is Sope and his athleticism is part of what landed him the role. I'd expect some serious emotional scenes, too, of cours…

It's not the shootout at the collapsing house I object to so much as Vesper's choosing of a fairly horrible-looking death by drowning whilst her lover looks on helpless, as opposed to the original ending of Vesper choosing to end her life painlessly…

It would be great to have a villain as iconic as Terrance Stamp's Zod in the next movie.

I think much of the decision will be based on money - if Aston are offering the top price then I imagine that will override anything else. Not every car company will want their image tied to Bond, at least not for the money Aston has been paying I w…

In the UK Bond will continue to be popular because he is our only contemporary iconic hero; I really don't know how he'll fare worldwide, though. I think having an epic title-track by a popular artist is a big part of the winning formula and helps m…

Goldeneye's freefall to the plane, and the tank chase through Moscow defined Pierce's Bond as a larger-than-life hero capable of outrageous things, and that was cool, it was what the audience wanted at the time, but it did come at the expense of him…

Casino Royale gave Bond a credibility and depth he didn't have in the Brosnan era, where he was awesome but cartoony. I'd been watching Bond at the cinema since The Spy Who Loved Me, but I hadn't gone out and bought a Bond DVD until Casino Royale ma…

It was the era when space was everything. America had just put a man on the moon and Bond was trying to be relevant to the trend (yet again).
-
The script was much sharper than usual. The way that Bond was constantly aware of his surroundings and used them to his advantage was excellent, and unfortunately something that they dropped. I heard that the aborted Jinx film script was a big influ…
