I liked Safin's look and the opening scene with him in, he just didn't get enough screen time to do much. NTTD had too much to do and I think he was a casualty.

He was rumoured to be on the shortlist for NTTD, wasn't he? The timing is interesting, with both him and Villeneuve looking like they might be free. I wonder whether we might see the bookies' odds on Jack O'Connell for 007 slashed?

With Furiosa I think the studio hoped the critical praise and DVD/Blu-ray sales that Fury Road generated post-release would translate into cinemagoers for the next instalment, and that didn't happen. It might be that a female-led action movie which …

Don't get me wrong, I think he's good. I just don't think it will be enough to make Citadel work. One thing Reynor has going for him as a potential Bond is his stare, which is very intense. It would work well for Bond.

She’s been mentioned before, but Puerto Rican/Mexican actress Adria Arjona.

We saw him in a bathroom in LALD when he torches that snake. (I think. That's another one I will have to rewatch)

You've got to love the subversion of the trope in OHMSS, which ends with a woman in Bond's arms, only she's his wife, and she's dead.

We've seen them tinkering with the placement of the gun-barrel, and additions to it like the cgi bullet, but hopefully that is all in the past. We've seen several Bond films jettison Bond canoodling with a woman at the end of the picture, and though…

I watched TMWTGG for the first time in years. It’s not good, but it’s not boring. It's more romp than thriller, and the way M was written reminded me rather of Sir Lancelot Spratt in the Doctor... films of the 50's, and Goodnight and everything con…

I think there would also be a certain level of competitiveness between the 00s, and that would contribute to them keeping themselves in top shape.
