    For the late James Bond producer Albert “Cuddy” Broccoli, receiving the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award was a true high point in his career.
    Not a good start to the article. Does no one proofread?

    That and:
    But the spotlight on them has intensified as the world awaits official word on Bond No. 8.

    Perhaps they were counting David Niven… or Sean Connery twice. Oh well….

    Interesting reading about them wanting to be brave in uncertain times for cinema though.

    This may be a clue to why the new film is taking so long: they chose someone as the new 007, but accidentally killed him. Note to self: don't make wrestling a giant squid part of the audition process.

    Curious, that article mentions an interview given to AP, but looking on their page the AP just have that article, same author, same typos.
    https://apnews.com/article/james-bond-producers-fcb0077975022c4c3771af8752afb370

    So the Independent and other outlets like Yahoo etc. just take that article wholesale and reproduce it. I didn't realise they worked like that.

    I believe it has been that way for a while, they sell it on much like anything else.

    Good to have at least something from BB and MGW at least.

    It sounds like a generic answer.

    Meh, probably. But they’ve not exactly played it safe in the Craig era, have they? At least in many ways.

    We’ll see what we get.

    I guess the notable thing is Wilson saying:
    “we were a good team”. Past tense.

    That sounds like a goodbye, doesn't it? Makes me wonder if a (partially) new team will step in or if Barbara, like another Broccoli before her, decides to pull the carriage on her own for a few more years.

    I really can’t imagine what a Steve McQueen Bond film would look like. To be fair to him I think he could do it.

    Klaus Kinski as Safin - great idea!

    In other words no news to report. Roll on 2027 at least
