    Y'know, the more I check out this guy, I can see a Bond villain in the making. He has the look of a mastermind.

    TBH, it would not be difficult to do better than the last couple, as Bardem and Waltz were both damp squibs.

    Bring loose/baggy Brioni suits back? :D
    Don't start ;)

    Actually, when I first saw that silenced ppk, I was happy as a fan can be. And that must be said of the Craig era, it brought back all the classic elements, from the DB5 (don't start with the DB5 hate, it's a brilliant car and it suits the literary Bond, who loved to attend to his classic Bentley), to the ppk, to some aesthetic choices. It's been brilliant in that department.
    Never hated the DB5 inclusion, @Univex. In fact, very very surprisingly, I'm one of the very few members who holds it as an icon to the Bond mania in league with the PPK and the tuxedo that define Bond's outlook. I'm happy with the DB5.

    Many would argue with bringing Lotus Esprit back or others, but the subsequent cars post-1965 can't even hold a candle to the cars of the late 50s and early 60s. DB5 is in entirely a different league than anything that came after.

    Oh, I know, @ClarkDevlin, the "don't start with the hate for..." was meant for other members. I know that a group of us, you included, adore the cars of the late 50s and early 60s, particularly the DB5, the e-type, the MGs,...

    That's some impressive cars mentioned right there! Wouldn't mind seeing Bond drive a vintage Jaguar E-type in a future film. It certainly beats the look of any modern car (as does the DB5 for that matter):

    @Denbigh We don't know at this point whether Tildesley is still on board or not. He was Boyle's man. He likely left the movie when Boyle was fired.

    Just a guess

    Bond 25 schedule
    February 28- Title and cast announced
    March 4- filming begins
    June 11- teaser poster revealed
    June 21- teaser trailer
    October 16- Trailer
    December 12- poster
    February 14- Film releases

    I'd say that's probably very accurate.

    My expectations for this film have become considerably higher than previous Craig entries.
    As Craig's most likely final Bond, not only does it have to exceed expectations and make up for the incredibly long gap, it also has to have the best PTS, title sequence, theme song, villain, and Bond girl in the Craig era. I fully expect it to surpass even CR in quality.
    It also has to make up for every screwed up gunbarrel sequence since DAD.........and make up for that one in spades as well. Only CR gets a pass from me in that respect.

    Considering as a movie fan I'll take even my least favorite Bond entry over something like the BOURNE series or TDK trilogy any day..............then the pressure is on Fukunaga.

    IMO, after this long wait.........................and all this build up....................false starts and set backs................Boyle................waiting for Craig to make up his damned mind...........................



    BOND 25 needs to be the greatest movie in cinematic history.

    I agree, but it probably won't with Fukunaga at the helm in my opinion.
    Fukunaga is NOT at the helm. WIth Boyle directing, Bond 25 would have been "a Danny Boyle movie". Ever since they fired Boyle, Bond 25 has been "a Barbara Broccoli movie".

    Oh I wasn't aware :/

    Well now I'm excited to learn who will be attached, I wonder if they'll just get Dennis Gassner back.
    I sure hope Tildelesly is still on the job. The production design on High Rise is very good.

    Is it possible to be a fan of cars, the 50s and 60s too, and still not want the DB5 back in the near term? ;) If so, I certainly fall into that category. I like the car, but don't think it's all that in comparison to some of the other cars from that era, including the E-type. As far as Astons go, I prefer the DBS from OHMSS. I'm also a big fan of the 'folded paper' aesthetic design from Giugiaro, of which the Esprit is one of the more famous iterations.

    If they must bring it back I can live with it, but I'd rather we not get any more overt fan service for it. They shot it all with SF and CR imho, and so now it just seems a bit overdone to me. That's not a knock on the car in this instance, but more the way the car is used on film. The way it was utilized in TND would be fine for me (discreet) going forward.

    That's Connery in there, in the movie Woman of Straw. Love that film. I know this is the wrong thread, still...

    Incredible film. Highly recommended to anyone who's not seen it. I might be due for a viewing tonight actually.

    See – it would be perfect for Bond!
    Never seen Woman of Straw actually. Must get around to doing so soon.

    Connery looks as when he was his best as Bond in that film. With some cool three piece suits as well.

    He shows a darker side in both Woman of Straw and Marnie. I love both those films.

    We've strayed a lot from the thread theme. I feel that it was my fault so this is me asking for a recoup to form ;)

    So, about the 25th...

    Big fan of that film. In fact, when it comes to a favourite Connery performance in my book, Woman of Straw is ranked above his Bonds. ;)

    A few points

    1. Shatterhand sigh nooooo
    2. I like Rami Malek and feel he would be a fine villain
    3. The first person who gets to 1999 should add a world is not enough quote

    Not very Book-Bond, but Connery did wear one in GF, Craig in CR, Pierce in GE, Dalton in TLD,...

    I'd welcome it back. I wear three piece suits myself almost everyday.

    Actually, so did Craig in SP.

    I think Rami Malek as a villain and the title "Shatterhand" are both positives for Bond 25, as is the inclusion of Madeline.

    I'm almost always positive about Bond and I agree with you. I also want Christoph Waltz as Blofeld and Jeffery Wright back as Felix and I'll be more excited.

    Any title that works beautifully as the title of an Austin Powers movie would be an AWFUL Bond title. Austin Powers: Shatterhand works beautifully. Seriously, if they announce that the title of Bond 25 is Shatterhand, I will ask the moderators of MI6Community to delete my account. This is a promise.

    In fact, I am asking the moderators now: if EON officially announces that the title of Bond 25 is Shatterhand, please delete my account automatically.

    Not a great fan of antique Aston fetishism. Bond should have an ultra-modern car that enraptures the audience the way the Aston did in 1964, not reminds them of 1964.
    Book Bond typically wore light two-piece suits; he would have probably regarded three-piece suits as a bit stuffy or over-formal. Movie Bond should follow suit when a younger actor takes over.
    Woman of Straw is indeed worth seeing, and Connery gives a fine performance as a handsome dirtbag of a villain. But his greatest performances are likely in The Offence and Robin and Marian.

    Shatterhand

    You'd hate to see him go

    Nah, but seriously, I think the title works. It sounds dynamic and bombastic. There was a time when these were characteristics of a James Bond movie.

    The only issue with the title Shatterhand would be if Rami Malek is going to be the villain of Bond 25, how will Christoph Waltz fit into the mix? It makes you think how interesting it could've made it if Franz Oberhauser was younger than James Bond.

    Well, but book bond had his old Bentley, and that reminded him of other times. The 30s actually. That was a 23 year old car by the time CR came out. And by the rate cars were modernising in those decades, that's almost as having a car from 1964 in a 2020 film. So, I'm all for the DB5 being always present. Same thing with the ppk.

    BTW, love Shatterhand as a title ;)

    Still hoping for The Death Collector, or The Garden of Death, or something creative, though.
