Beyonce! She is an even bigger star than Adele, she's acted in a few films, and done tons of videos. She'd bring a ton of buzz to the film. Now that Adele has won a Golden Globe and an Oscar, I would think every major singer on the planet would k…

My .02 is that Logan was the wrong choice to script a Bond. I also agree with some of the posts that it would seem that Mendes and EON should have been more on top of the scripting process. But, and it's a very big but, what the heck do any of us …
-
Based on all the posts in this thread, I don't see how EON could film 25 without Craig. Craig Bond's personal relationships with Swann, Blofeld, and to a lesser degree M, MP and Q are so developed by the end of SP, EON would have to deep six and ig…

As I've noted in earlier posts, I have no issue with a younger black actor taking over Bond when Craig is done. I have a big issue with Elba because his agressive campaigning for Bond has become obnoxious and unprofessional. Craig is in the part f…

Agree. I don't like Elba either, and I too have many reasons other than his race. Elba has been pushing too hard for Bond for 2 years and has been making all kinds of self serving comments in the press. He's been campaigning way to hard. Now Pa…

My problem with Elba has nothing to do with his race. Changing Bond's race is a complex issue but it could be done with the right actor. Elba is most definitely not the right actor. He will be 10-15 years to old for the part when recasting comes …
-
Agree that both Elba or Cavill would be really bad choices. I hope Craig does Bond 25, but if he walks after SP, or if SP falls far short of SF BO which could happen if it is bad and/or the jackals in the press attack it to get back at Sony, then I…

Count me in as someone who doesn't understand the hyper female appeal of Cumberbatch. A very good actor, but to me rather prissy in interviews and weird looking. I can't see Barbara B. finding him the right fit for Bond. I'm also really taken a…

Thought making Q a tech nerd was a logical update to the character. Given the Sony hack, it now appears to be an even smarter idea. Just don't waste Bond's screen time by putting Q in the field and giving him a bigger role. Same with M. Fiennes …

This is not like Harry Potter or other books that are praised by critics and that movie goers want to see how they get translated to film. What is so destructive about these leaks is that the malicious script and budget stuff is coming directly from…

Marketto007's elegant and very simple poster of the Spectre logo stamped on red wax is for me still the "gold standard" for Spectre fan art. Just fantastic. EON should buy the art work and use it as a teaser poster.

Craig has been critical to the success of the last three films and he was the one who got Mendes to direct SF. Craig could possibly get his pal Speilberg to direct Bond 25 as I don't see Mendes as critical to Bond 25 at all. Another experienced dir…

You are so 100% right. These exec's have less insight into a hugely complex Bond script than the waiters in the Sony Exec dining room. It's a shame their idiot comments are being taken seriously by all of the equally self important entertainment p…

Most of the news about Bond implies that SP is going to cost about $50 million more than SF. Horrors! Given the cheap SF locations, I am very happy they are going for better locations, and how can they not be more expensive. After a billion plus gro…

It will take someone smarter than me to figure this out, but there is a photo circulating now appearing in various Spectre articles in the press that appears to be photoshopped. It shows Craig with 3 chins and is very unflattering. Given the 1000s…

I didn't love SF. Loved CR and have watched it many times. SF, not so much. Bond is young Bond in CR, and suddenly we get old Bond in SF. Didn't work for me. I'm not a Mendes or Logan fan and have always found Mendes a bit pretentious, but one can…

Your standard retort that someone is a Craig lover simply because they don't go for the CraigNot Bond stuff is weak. Stating he could have never read the books because he got some date sequence wrong when Fleming's house was built is a serious stre…

I find this thread coming on the brink of what is finally some major news, sad. Didn't we have enough of the personal attacks on Craig with the CraigNotBond gang from years ago. This entire thread is based on some minor comment by Craig from one o…

As a new member, I can't comment on Marketto's sources, but I can say that I think his Blofeld/Spectre fan art is the absolute best recent fan art I have ever seen. The way he used the Spectre symbol was elegant, mysterious, and just perfect. If Bl…
