I fully support Hemming's return, however.
Hahaha well said
The box office tells us something different, not to mention the crazed ovation DC received on Colbert when he announced his return. SP was a flawed, for sure, but as a whole, the DC era has been very. very, very good for the franchise.
You're right. I think if EoN had carried on, business as usual, the series would have suffered. I think there'll be a desire to return to the classic tropes once the Craig era has finished.
The public couldn't care less about Bond formula.
I don't think they will go back to the old stand alone films in the near future.
We should expect a reboot IMO.
That is what the super hero films have shown is possible. If you run out of steam just reboot.
They're not going to cast a middle aged actor who just takes over where Craig left off.
Esp if Craig Bond is dead!
It's because the ideas are developed and there's those nasty "theme" things and actual filmmaking with visual storytelling. Yuck.
Funnily enough the film that's come closest for me personally since then is QOS. That's mainly because I appreciate it's more pacy approach which reminds me of the earlier not overlong films. Plus it's perhaps Craig's best performance. The movie is totally focused on him. He carries the movie but this just adds to his kudos and presence on screen.
LTK was a turning point I think. All the "This time it's personal" stuff that over time has just become the new normal. When is it ever not personal these days?
I cannot really take the Brosnan era seriously on any level although for my money TND is the 'best'.
Craig brought some gravitas and heft back to the character but the films still just feel a bit like pastiche to me. Like they're "making a Bond movie" rather than just making a Bond movie.
I guess it's Cubby's absence that makes the difference.
I wouldn’t mind if Lindy Hemming returns. If she did B25, I wonder if we’d still have Tom Ford or revert back to Brioni. I like Tom Ford’s QoS fit better than Brioni’s baggy suits and Ford’s too tight SF/SP suits.

Skyfall was a little flat at first sight - it always felt a bit like a video game time. However it suits that film perfectly. Within the context of the story, it works as it harkens back to Bond's past and has a deeper resonance to his family roots and M''s role in his life. I always felt it was a shame they called Goldeneye that - as Skyfall deserved that title more.
Spectre is a straight-up cool word. It's a cool title that is evocative of something evil and mysterious returning. Which suits the series at that time and the actual story of the film. Arguably, my favourite title.
Shatterhand is dumb though. I hope they don't use that. There was some talk that Bond 24 would be called either Silhouette or Mosaic. Both titles I like.
Though it baffles me that they haven't used The Property of A Lady yet....
Personally, I think Once Upon A Spy is a good title. It reminds me of No Country for Old Men. It suggests an older Bond returning for a final mission. Which is fitting considering the end of Spectre.
As in previous years the press conference was on thursday before they start shooting the film, so I say that the "BOND 25 Press Conference" will be thursday February 28th.
:)
In two weeks could be
It could be a small or large part she could play but she'd actually have feedback and words of reason to share with him, as some fans including Babs herself, have welcomed thw idea of Camille returning. Some fans wonder if she's doing well after the intense events of QoS.
No sense in it...plus, Baz drops stories between 11pm-12am on Thursday's. So don't expect anything any other time. i think it's mainly as his column in the Mail is published in the Friday edition. So he get's the jump on the paper by putting the story on Twitter as soon as he can - which is just before midnight.
@Risico007 haven't you already suggested that insiders have hinted that Eon have scheduled something for Friday 1st March? i recall reading that a few pages back.
I don't think it's a good idea to bombard Baz Bamigboye on Twitter in the hope of getting a scoop. It's very rude, and unprofessional, I'm sure the site admin would not want anyone doing such things to mention their membership to MI6 Community if they tweet someone for an inside story or news.
If, there is to be any news from Mr.Bamigboye today or tomorrow or next week, I'm sure he'll tweet it whenever it happens.
True. He'd be absolutely gagging to break the news anyway. It's not like he'd think, 'nah, I'm writing that story about the Bucks Fizz reunion instead.'
I did but haven't spoken to them since January 3rd so obviously plans can change.
I would presume it will be around March 4th
The audience on a tv show is told how to behave. They are directed with signals and signs.
This article claims to detail exactly where Bond will visit in Italy.
interesting and if this is accurate it says the Italy shooting begins in April... which would make sense as the pinewood stuff would likely start in march. then production would move forward
I agree. If true I am glad they are using the unique UNESCO heritage site. It's a very bondian location. Will harken back to Dr.No, You Only Live Twice and Live and Let Die.
Nope. This is wrong.
CR began shooting 30 Jan 2006 at Barrandov Studios. They didn't begin filming at Pinewood till June 2006. After filming in Prague, the Bahamas and Venice.
