    Also known as Dennis The Menace.

    Think of all the Mr Wilson jokes we could make.

    For everyone that is excited about Villeneuve potentially directing, could you please enlighten me on his creditinals? I've never heard of him before.

    You're truly missing out mate, he's one of my favorite directors working today. Do try to watch any (or all) of Prisoners, Sicario, and Arrival. The new Blade Runner looks incredibly promising as well.

    @jake24, DV has made my three favourite films since 2013... I do find him the best visual storyteller, yes, more than Nolan, that is working in the industry at this moment.

    Thanks, guys. I remember seeing trailers for Sicario. Looked good.

    Watching the handmaid's tale and it struck me elizabeth moss would make a great bond girl in bond 25

    I've always though she would make an even better MP in a soft reboot for B26.

    Because of her role in mad men?

    I've seen her in other things, like Top of Lake and High-Rise, but yes, I know her best from Mad Men over seven seasons. Her role as Peggy Olson in that show certainly influences my suggestion. I just think she can readily play that smart but somewhat ignored office type. Interesting to look at, intelligent, charismatic, but a little Plain Jane.

    Mad Men and The Handmaid's Tale are the only projects i've seen her in but top of the lake looks really good, She seems like a strong actress who could handle her own against craig.

    They better not screw this movie up.

    Or perhaps we should be a tiny bit less critical. The movie hasn't even premiered yet, but given the style of posts in here it sometimes seems it already did. That's a bit sad. I know why we behave like we are all our own professional director, because we truly are the die-hard of die-hard Bond fans in here. But perhaps we also should be a bit less......die-hard......and simply look forward to another Bond film. Trying to be a Bond fan from the 1960's or 1970's every now and then :-).

    Blunt might make a decent villain as well. Always highly watchable.

    Series 1 of top of the lake was very good. Series 2 slightly embarassing

    I will put my fake money on Yann I just see him as a cheaper choice and can still deliver

    Dune (which has seen mammoth failures before) seems like a far more ambitious and challenging undertaking for a director than a final James Bond film with Daniel Craig. Reboot I can understand.
    Yeah. It's somewhat incredible to me, if it's true that he's only just about to start writing it, that it would be set for release in 2019 as reported.

    The original Dune was something of a boondoggle - earned $30 million on a $40 million budget, and that's back in 1984.

    I'm surprised people want to throw money at remaking it, since the basic facts haven't changed: you'll likely have an expensive shoot, lots of FX, and a small market for a niche product.

    Maybe they're hoping to capitalize on the Star Wars audience, but really, it's not a story that hooks a mass audience. Feels to me like it has the makings of a flop.

    Dune 84 was horrible, but Baron Harkonnen was good.

    Dune can work if executed right. It doesn't have to be the next Valerian. These sort of projects need the right script, vision and cast. Don't try to tell it all in one go. Make one film with a decent hook and if there's appetite for it, then churn out a sequel.

    If they approach Dune like a David Lean epic (Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia), they'll be fine.

    When does the press tour for Blade Runner 2049 start? Be interesting if Bond pops up when DV is interviewed?

    Good call. I'd imagine he'd be quite coy when talking about Dune and Bond if eyeing both projects.

    It has already started in Europe. I don't think anyone has asked Villeneuve about Bond yet.

    From Atlanta Filming on Twitter:

    "In the past week 2 people have brought up the same rumor to me... #StarWars and #JamesBond are not currently scheduled to film in Georgia."

    Is this the same rumour that was going round a month or so ago?

    Yup, seems like it. I think it has already been cleared up.

    I still think it's a shame Kathryn Bigelow turned down Bond. Would love to see her take on the character.

    Did they actually ask Bungalow, or was it just some journalist who brought it up?
