A gay male Moneypenny could be fun, I think it’d freshen up Bond’s flirting/teasing dynamic with that character, and it’d be a better bit of representation than Q’s throwaway line. Before any blood vessels burst, I’m not suggesting making Bond gay (…

Nice to see O’Connell’s name mentioned again, he’s been my favourite suggestion for a while. I think he’d bring a similar sort of masculine virility to early Connery and early Craig, while also being a different enough sort of actor to set himself a…

I like the idea of exploring Bond’s thrill seeking hedonistic side. Bond no 7 could be a young man who really loves his life as James Bond, a nice contrast to Craig while also building nicely off his era (“I shall use my time”). But I’d still like h…

I like the film a lot as is, but I think it’d be better without the OHMSS callbacks, and I could have done with some more inventive setpieces. Maybe recast Saffin too, Malek had a couple of creepy moments, but also a few hammy ones. He wasn’t awful,…

I don’t mind a bit of reality TV when it’s funny/trashy enough, but I’d imagine this will be a bland family friendly gameshow type thing. I’ll give it a go out of curiosity but I can’t see it being for me. MajorDSmythe wrote: » Of all the ways …

I’d be happy with the second coming of Glen myself, love his films and for me the fancy cinematography and everything else is nice, but not essential. But the thing is, that’s very much a fanboy’s perspective. I don’t know if Bond is popular enough …
