It’d be interesting to read those early drafts, seems like it was much more of an origin story at first (wasn’t there one where he’d never worn a tux before, and they made a big thing of it in the script?). I remember the bio they released for the r…

I was about to suggest somewhere in Africa, since I didn’t think he’d been there for a while, then I remembered that he did go to Morocco in Spectre. It just completely slipped my mind because all we got was a hotel room and a desert, and he didn’t …

Kingsman would rule Taron Edgerton out anyway, but I had no idea he was that short. Which just goes to show imo that height really doesn’t matter. mtm wrote: » I don't think being tall is a character trait though. It wouldn't bother me at all i…

Campbell is great and he’d be a very safe and dependable choice, but I’d rather have the risk of some fresh blood. I think the next film needs to make Bond feel really new again, a proper kick up the arse reinvention, and Campbell himself has said t…

I’d like a villain with legitimate business interests again next time, some big CEO type that Bond has to go undercover to investigate. We’ve had creepy weirdos hiding away in isolated lairs for a few films now, and it’s getting a bit old imo. Ideal…

I’d watch it. And Fleming’s Bond took Benzedrine, so why not a stoner Bond? Q’s lab could just be a farm, where MI6 are developing a special strain that kills anyone unfortunate enough to inhale SnoopBond’s secondhand smoke.

@Jimjambond Bond’s audience does tend to skew older in America. I think being British it’s easy to forget that it’s not as big everywhere else as it is here. This article breaks down NTTD’s demographics a bit. https://www.latimes.com/entertainmen…

Do we know how set in stone the product placement deals are? I like the idea of shifting to a different automaker, like when Moore had Lotus setting him apart from Connery. The new Astons are gorgeous, but they do all have quite a similar shape. If …

Back on topic, I’ve always liked the idea of a wolf in sheep’s clothing sort of Bond. I know that’s all of them to an extent, but I mean someone who can flick between the two sides of the character (the gentleman and the killer) at their most extrem…
