    I can't wait for the day that Idris Elba stops being involved in James Bond discussions. Yes, he's a good actor. Yes, he wants the role. But, he's not going to get it. I think at this point, his star is a little too close to Broccoli's noses. If an actor pines for a role before they've been approached, chances are they're not going to cast them.

    Plus, why would you cast someone whose so close to Craig's own age that it would cause arguments to why you got rid of Craig in the first place. When you hire someone for Bond, you want them to have a good long run. Craig has been Bond for over 10 years for gods sake, why would you want Elba for maybe one or two films before he's considered "too old".

    I like the title Shatterhand, but not keen on Rami Malek as a Bond villain. He looks far too youthful.

    Don't be surprised if "Shatterhand" IS NOT the title of Bond 25.

    Don't know why, but three "S" titles in a row irritates me soooo much…

    Not as irritating as seeing Purvis and Wade write 7 bad dialogue films.

    It's actually equally as irritating, IMO.

    Knowing Barabara Broccoli and her excellent taste, I certainly wouldn't be.

    Isn't Shatterhand the working title? If so, it's unlikely to also be the film title. A bit anticlimactic if so, at least imho. I assume they'd want to surprise us, especially given Spectre was uninventive.

    I think I'd take Shatterhand over The Garden of Death, but neither is extremely inventive, and yes, the Triple S pattern might be annoying.

    A Whisper of Fate, maybe?

    That's nothing. The Mission: Impossible films have had seven "M" titles in a row. Seven!

    You know? For some reason we don't hear much from Gregg Wilson, I wonder what he's up to.

    Last we heard from him was at that car exhibition where he said they were figuring out the plot two years ago.
    He (just like Barbara Broccoli's daughter) doesn't seem that interested in Bond. No wonder BB & MWG want to sell the franchise!

    Nonsense. He’s a producer on B25 and he will be officially taking over his father’s position on B26.
    I truly hope you are wrong. Obviously my dream scenario would be the great Christopher Nolan and the great Emma Thomas taking over the reins, but I could name DOSENS of producers who would do a better job at producing Bond movies than the team made up of Barabra Broccoli and Gregg Wilson would.

    There’s no way in hell that Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas would ever take over as producers of the series. I also know that the Broccoli family isn’t going to sell the franchise, nor should they. But then again, if anything remotely negative happens, you’ll be the first to blame Barbara Broccoli, no matter what she had to do with it.

    Also, you'd find something to criticize about it and them anyway.

    I think it all depends on the character, on who the villain is supposed to be. Malek would be a Dominic Greene type: slimy.

    That's why I'm not writing him off just yet.

    There is no way they could make Shatterhand the title of Bond 25 without Christoph Waltz, which would mean that Malek would be reduced to a supporting villain role. And I'm sorry, but no amount of DAF surgery could turn Christoph Waltz into Rami Malek.

    In my opinion, I don't think Shatterhand is the working title. It's probably just some fake news some heard after Spectre, and thought that the title for the next film would be Shatterhand. Let's be honest, most users on here suggested Shatterhand as a title before Spectre even came out so I doubt this news very much.

    You're correct. Working titles rarely are the film's title.

    To be honest, even if they went with SH (they aren't), they were probably still massaging title names down until very recently (and the title will reflect the final draft of all of the re-writes that happened after this production listing of SH)

    There is a title by now. But even then, a tweak can happen between now and March (a poor example, but From A View To A Kill became AVTAK and Licence Revoked became LTK)....

    I guess Dave Bautista won't be morphed into Jaws now. That's a good thing. I will miss Mr. Hinx though.

    I won't miss Hinx. It was a good fight scene on the train, but the relationship with Bond to up the tension lacks, big time, as opposed to-

    Grant was built up in the shadows. He was always lingering and moving forward to destroy 007.
    Odd Job was pushed onto Bond via Goldfinger.

    Hinx is not classic. He's below Jaws-- and Jaws ain't my fave.

    Does it REALLY have to be repeated every month that the very people who run this site have confirmed that the "EON is considering selling the franchise after Bond 25" rumour is not a baseless rumour?

    Well, you do seem to appreciate repetition, so I oblige ;)

    A non-native English speaker made a spelling error! Outrageous!

    Didn't know you were a non-native English speaker. See? That was a compliment ;)

    He can also play a sociopath really well.

    If Mendes was coming back, he'd probably find a way to make it happen.

    And I agree with this statement 100%

    Some 2020 releases I will be anticipating more than Bond 25 if Waltz is back:

    Trolls World Tour
    Untitled Rugrats Film
    Legally Blonde 3
    It's reassuring to imagine the poster redirecting his attention to movies he's anticipating more. And realigning with forum discussions of more interest like TROLLS, RUGRATS, and LEGALLY BLONDE.

    Saw Vice today starring Christian Bale and Amy Adams, the story of Dick Cheney & his career.

    Vice does a good job illustrating how a very few people can influence millions of lives for better & worse.

    Its high time Craigs Bond dealt with a villian or plot that risks millions of lives, where you can feel the danger. This is what made CR good & edgy,

    The only threats of the last three films were a water shortage, an ex 00 trying to kill M and MI6 officials, and Oberhauser spying on everyone with communications control.

    Don’t often agree with PanchitoPistoles, but in this case + 1. My anticipation for bond 25 isstill high, but it would sharply decline if this happened.
