Ha, now I can’t help think you’re trolling, you must be aware that lots of users here complained about Bond not sleeping with Paloma etc in NTTD. I do think that’s something of a special case for NTTD, though I wouldn’t mind if Bond stuck to only pa…

Okay, maybe we’re talking at cross purposes. I’m saying I don’t imagine they’ll prioritise the Gen Z market over others to the extent where they’ll alter Bond’s character, which appears to be the worry for some users here.
-
Is Gen Z the film’s target audience, though? I think they’ll be trying for as big a demographic range as possible. The game, if successful, will up Bond’s profile with the younger generation, and I think diverse casting and a less shallow approach t…

If it’s anything like when Daniel Craig was cast, the director absolutely will get a vote in the casting of the new Bond when it gets down to the final few. I don’t know if he will be able to suggest candidates to Eon for consideration, but I’d imag…

Yeah, Campbell had done a range of things, both critically acclaimed and more populist fare. I know he clashed with writer Troy Kennedy Martin on the set of Edge of Darkness, refusing to have Bob Peck’s character turn into a tree at the end. I think…

I’ll third the Finland location. Sounds good to me.

Whatever day they pick to announce the new film/director/actor, that will be the entertainment news story of the day. That will take away from the story about them getting the award if they do it on the same day. I don’t think they’ll do that.

… and The Batman had Bruce discovering his father was linked to organised crime and his mother had mental issues that were covered up. It tends to be a good source of angst.

I think we’ll probably get more personal themed stories, and within the next three films we’ll get a plot involving a shock centred on Bond’s parents: They were secretly involved in the intelligence community, and Bond must tie up a loose end the…

Peter mentioned him the other day. I mainly know him from Krypton, where he played supporting character Dev-Em, but haven't seen his more acclaimed work.
-
When I was a kid I thought the Connery Bonds were kind of old fashioned because of that 50's and conservative 60's style: the hats, the old fashion not-so-streamlined car etc compared to the Roger Moore Bond films that were coming out, with the more…

He's a good in Slow Horses, but I don't think he's got a tough edge to him. As always though, Eon would be sure to find out in an audition, and he'll probably get one.

To be fair though, you could say much the same about Casino Royale. That's basically about Bond playing cards at a hotel and having another ill fated tryst with a woman who dies before the end. The book gave the script good bones, though, and we got…

I watched a two films recently each one starring an actor suggested in this thread as being a possible Bond contender. La Chimera, starring Josh O'Connor: this was great (recommended provided you like the more art-house end of things), and though…

I was going to say Headhunters, but I'm much slower than you guys. I've seen it two or three times, always good.

Léa Seydoux is one of France's top actresses, I've seen her in lots of films and she can be very compelling. Spectre just doesn't have the writing.

Lots of Bond films have pairings that are lacking on the chemistry front. They tend not to hang so much on the relationship, however! We've got to believe Bond finds Madeleine so special that he falls madly in love and quits to spend the rest of his…
