    @dinovelvet, Maxwell was 12 years older than Lazenby.

    Maxwell was 40 odd by 69? Well I'll be damned.

    I'll say. If I had to guess I would have said she was in her early to mid thirties in that one.

    True, but I'd argue in that case it was important to keep Moneypenny around for continuity, to show it was the "same old James". I think the new Q and Moneypenny are specifically tied to Daniel Craig's Bond, somehow it would be odd to suddenly see 35 year old Ben Whishaw go from 'young upstart Q' to Bond's senior

    Personally, I think Whishaw as Q looks young enough that they could hire someone in their early-to-mid thirties and get away with it not appearing as if Q is much older.

    I'm wondering what my next viewing of SP is going to be like, I've not seen it since early November, I'm waiting for the Blu ray to drop near a fiver (I'm not joking).

    Interesting. I haven't seen it since last November either. Although, I do own the Blu-ray, it's just been collecting dust. At first, I had no desire to watch it because I was so massively disappointed in it. Then I realized that I needed more time away from it, so that I could approach it with an open mind next time out. Perhaps the anticipation will even help me see it in a new light? We'll see. I'm not holding my breath.

    Likewise with me, although I haven't grabbed the Blu-Ray yet. Saw Spectre twice in theaters—felt pretty divided the first time around and even less enthused the second, so we'll see how a fresh viewing with tempered expectations treats the film. I'll probably pick it up in the fall. That's sort of a new tradition I began with QOS and have carried through Skyfall and Spectre. Truthfully, while QOS has grown on me immensely, there just hasn't been a new Bond film since Casino Royale that has made me think "Wow, I can't wait to watch that again!" Delaying my first home viewing of the latest one also helps with the wait between films. It sort of gives me an "almost new but not quite" Bond film to watch along the way, so that's a nice bonus.

    Yes, I felt the same way after my two theater viewings. By contrast, I loved SF and couldn't wait to watch the Blu-ray. This time around, I was kind of hoping to hear some news about Craig's possible departure before watching SP again. I wonder if the knowledge that it is indeed Craig's last film will change my perception of it.

    A Moneypenny I'd like to...?

    //something I posted:


    Or, is it possible, BB was dealing with The Silent Storm and didn't have time to read the Logan drafts of Bond 24 until spring 2014?

    a response:


    Is this statement meant as a defence? Might as well exonerate the Captain of the Titanic for ploughing on at full speed through an ice field because 'he didnt have time' if he wanted to break the Blue Riband record.//

    No, it was not meant as a defense.

    I'm still holding out hope DC returns for one more, although it seems highly unlikely at this point.

    I think it's important for all to remember that EoN control the legitimacy of pivotal Bond news and if Craig has quite or if he hasn't, only EoN will announce it much to the frustration of many...when THEY are ready to do so.

    And likely when they have cast Tom Hardy in the role (what we allow mendes4lyfe the luxory of saying Turner will be cast next week for the last ten weeks let me assume Hardy will be cast once.)

    Not necessarily, but not officially, yes.

    It's official once it's announced and only then. He may have told them he's done and is just playing along as the good soldier he is, until they are ready to roll out his successor and make announcements, whenever that may be. It doesn't hurt him to still be James Bond, even if for self-marketing purposes, and it doesn't hurt them either.

    Yes, as I said above, until he's officially quit, he's still Bond. That goes without saying but would make for a boring thread, so I'm all for the gossip in the meanwhile, including Hiddleswift (although that's getting a bit tiresome to be honest).

    It's taken 311 pages for us to come to the conclusion that he hasn't quit until it's officially announced?

    (Mind you 299 of those pages are @Mendes knocking one out over Turner)

    He hasn't officially quit yet, but he isn't officially confirmed for Bond 25 either, otherwise EON would put to bed all the rumours about possible replacements. So the only thing for certain is Craig is still the incumbent James Bond, but we have no official confirmation on whether or not he will do Bond 25, or even when the film is coming. We could go on like this for another year, if not more, before we learn anything.

    Is Craig even contracted for Bond 25? And if yes, what does it even prove? For all we know B25 could be an optional film for him, so until he/EON officially confirms his involvement, we're back to square one.

    So we're back to square one then, because even if Craig is the incumbent 007 until he resigns, he has no contractual obligation to make a 5th unless he officially confirms his involvement.

    For all we know right now, Bond 25 is nowhere in progress... Officially speaking.

    So, until Eon or MGM makes an announcement, we better rest our case and leave things as they are. More than half the thread is full of insults.
