If the rumors are true, it can’t be her since it said they’re looking for an actress. No reason not to just get Bellucci back if it’s the same character. Still, I would be cool with seeing her as the main villain should SPECTRE return.
I think this would be different from a Wai Lin/Jinx type. Someone more vulnerable, the same way Bond is in CR, and more Bond leading them along and teaching them than them fighting side by side/one upping him. I don't think we've ever had Bond as a proper mentor (I guess Melina and Camille are the closest), and I think it's an idea that has potential.
I agree though, it should still be Bond's film. One of the reasons I couldn't stand Die Hard 5 was because they took that route with his son. But I'm optimistic because it's Boyle.
Although to be fair, my attitude in general is pretty relaxed at this point. I really don't care what they do with the next Craig movie. I want it to be good don't get me wrong, but I don't have any strong feelings about the direction they should take. They've messed around with things so much that I'm sort of desensitised to it now, so they can do what they want for his last as far as I'm concerned. But I do want all this experimenting confined to 2006-2019, and a more traditional back to basics approach with the next actor.
I certainly hope not.
I doubt that (although to be fair wasn't most of SF shot in the UK anyway, with Craig not even going to China? They can make it work). I think everyone involved knows that the globe trotting is important.
I do think we might get less big setpieces though, partly because of Craig's age coupled with him liking to do the action himself, partly because Boyle doesn't like monster budgets and partly because of how much they threw at SP only for it to make noticeably less than SF.
Oh, hell yeah!
What about an excellent chef?
What a nightmare.
That said, depending on just how much money a small budget Bond film would come out to, I could see them limiting the locations to, say, London and one other, as with DN. I'd be fine with that.
I've thought for a while now that Ireland (Republic and/or Northern) could be good for such a 'bottle' film. It's a beautiful place. I was really happy to hear last year that Barbara welcomed the potentiality of filming there one day. Bond's well overdue a visit, I think.
That's what I'm hoping for too. I really liked the last two films but something a bit shorter and leaner would be refreshing at this point. Seems pointless trying to one up or match the scale of SP with its bespoke Aston Martin and world record breaking explosion.
I think a small tight little thriller would be a nice way for Craig to finish after the last two epics and that sort of film would suit an older Bond actor. It'd also give Craig a chance for some gritty dramatic character stuff ala CR, which I think is what he's craving (SF and SP focused a lot on him as a character too but it still felt very big and epic, lots of long broody shots).
1000% this.
