Well this is awkward, please read Interview Nov 11, 2015

"I’d love to write a Bond film. It’s the one that’s eluded me. Me and Steven we both wanted to do Bond. I did From Russian With Love on radio!”
Steven referred to is Moffat, the man who made Dr Who a success again.
:^o
I disagree. It's very cinematic Bond, see OHMSS.
Not all, he's changed his mind since then, he's capricious like that.
Aye, whatever =))
If Eon called and offered it to him there is no way he would say no.
Yeah, whatever, where ever, who ever, come on!
The whole shebang.
;)
:-bd
It's all in the film all 2hrs 22 mins, the whole mother of a shebang of a film.
There's another one?
Never been this excited.
Me too, it's like Christmas. Maybe Bond is a cry baby in that one like he is in Skyfall? The Tragedian fool.
Sorry, you've lost me.

If you missed that Bond film.
All joking aside, Lazenby was the best hand to hand combat actor to have played Bond, he a Bear in that film.
Absolutely.
Yes, I agree, let's talk Bond 25, as we all agree that DC isn't the archetypcal screen Bond.
But he was a bit of a tragedian hero too.
Absolutely, now back to Bond 25 ...
@Devlin, have you read YOLT? I would say Craig's performance in SF as a wounded, pill-popping washed-up drunk goes very much hand in hand in how Fleming described Bond in mourning (after Tracy's death).
This is a perpetuating problem. Many fans and the producers are afraid to REALLY shake things up so they go back to the same tired well or extend their hands out, reaching for their safety blanket. Campbell is a mediocre director at best in general but he knows how to make incredible Bond movies; now is he the only one capable of doing this? Of course not; which is why it's sad to see a number of people still throwing his name around after all these years. God forbid he makes a subpar 3rd entry, the way his fans will turn on him will be swift and vicious. Move on. EoN need to ditch their creative team and bring in new talent, widen the pool and get people who are capable of doing the job.
First of all, British and Commonwealth directors only in this day and age is a silly stipulation that needs to be irrevocably thrown out. Secondly, Purvis and Wade NEED to go. Let's get fresh eyes and perspectives of writers who've read and studied Fleming's work. Thirdly, be sensible with the budget. No one really gives a crap about the db10. It's not iconic and it was a rather wasteful resource to include in the movie considering the cost that went into making them and the terrible way it was utilised.
In a nutshell, Bond needs impassioned people who can tell a great story that's gripping, dynamic and excellently made. Relying on past and aged talent reeks of uninspired and desperation. I don't give a damn how long the Bond series has been running for but the fact that we've only had 2 Bond films since 2010 and we're fast approaching 2020 which means at best by then we may have only 3 films in 10 years with a great leading man goes to show that the series needs to take its own advice as conveyed in Skyfall; this old dog needs to learn some new tricks. If EoN need to speak to, rub shoulders with or even flat out pilfer creative strategies from rival studio execs then so be it. By any means necessary. Things need to change for the better and that starts with the process for selecting writers and a director needing a serious revision.
