You are not thinking like a producer.
I know the past 11 years and 3 months has been brutal with only 2 films being released , but it will be worth it when we're sat in the cinema and the gunbarrel starts and the whole world is at a fever pitch to see what awaits.
You're right. That would be a disease I wouldn't want to catch, devaluing people and judging them for their worth to me. Disgusting.
Re-reading the Bond novels, constant listening to Bond scores and re-reading Greek mythology & re-watching films from Hollywood's golden era are the things that has kept me going and waiting patiently for Bond 26.
2015 Spectre was released.
2021 NTTD was released.
Either your math is incorrect, or, @Mendes4Lyfe , you’re passive-aggressively pushing an agenda where one of these films doesn’t count as a Bond film?
Pretty transparent…
I think he meant 12 years prior to 2027, once we're at that point and reflecting, it would be two films since 2015, to be fair. Though if 26 is released in 2027.. that would indeed be three movies in 12 years even then. LOL
It’s hard to follow the logic of Mendes. But it often is cherry picked in some fashion, with a bend towards a criticism of something he doesn’t like, stated as a collective fact…, 😂 😂 😂
First time in the movies was Connery after his fight with Shaw (I think).
No one ever died of his cooking
DV talks about a no-dialogue film and I think that could be an interesting concept for a spy movie.
If there was a solid and natural idea for doing so, I think that'd be great, or even one that's almost entirely dialogue-free but segues into the title sequence/song after Bond finally utters the first line.
I like this quite a bit.
I mean, it wouldn’t be without precedent. QOS basically does that. The opening of FRWL is essentially dialogue free until the end too. Hell, the first stretch of GF’s PTS has no dialogue, and when we do get (very minor) exposition about Bond’s mission we basically know what has happened through the visuals, and even if the sound was off you can tell Bond is going back to a hotel room simply because he has a key in his hand (and he doesn’t directly say where he’s going anyway) and it’s evident why a woman is there/why someone is trying to kill him.
So yeah, something as visual and well crafted as those (and indeed there are plenty of other examples) with no or little dialogue would be great. Very doable.
Yes I thought that! But it’s a good way to go for a PTS. They all have a healthy dose of strong visual storytelling anyway.

John Woo just did that although with an action movie, not a spy movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15799866/
Think a strong argument exists "GoldenEye" is the most important Bond film commercially speaking for the series continued existence. So much transition and doubt.
I’d agree. And I think the next film/era has a similar weight attached to it, as there’s so much uncertainty with the direction, new financiers are on board, with new players, and, the industry itself is a different beast to the one that the last era ended in (hell, everyone is saying it’s a different beast to the one it was just a few short months ago, as the strikes were ramping up)…
There’s a lot to get right for the new era… And a lot at stake.
