    I guess the only thing about faking supernatural powers is that it often means you have local inhabitants of wherever-we-are credulously believing it and Bond being the wise level-headed Englishman who can see through all that mumbo-jumbo, and it can get slightly insulting. So in a way I'd kind of prefer for the magic to be left unexplained and for Bond to learn he's not seen quite everything; a bit more Indy in style perhaps, but even LALD had a bit of that.
    I can kind of imagine CraigBond encountering some sort of situation like that where it's quite clear how whatever-it-is is possible, and it'd be quite refreshing.

    It seems officially the project hasn’t moved into preproduction yet— there is, as far as the industry is concerned (and not from Insneider-types), that no writers have been attached, nor a director.

    If this holds (and IMDbpro has B26 as “announcement”, and not even “in development”), then these are very early days indeed.

    yeah maybe like 2028-2029

    If we are still waiting for Bond 26 in 2029 man that would be rough. I'm hoping no later than summer 2028.

    Lol. But few days back, I thought you were cool with waiting for Bond 26....no matter the release date. Or am I wrong? Pls, correct me if I'm wrong.

    The Euros in 2028 is held in the UK and begins on June 9th. I think it makes the most sense to time a new Bond film with a big national celebration like this, comparative to the London Olympics preceding the release of Skyfall in 2012.

    I hope to high heck this does not happen. A major problem with skyfall is its dovetailing of the 2011-12-era flegshegging, a time of royal weddings and Olympics, when Britain could not stop kissing its own arse.

    It isn't the fundamental reason, but such a culture made it easier for the vote leave types to spin their web of lies. With a GE in 2029, and so-called reform sadly looking in form, the last thing we need is pro-Trump Amazon's agent 007 going all Ian Fleming on us.

    I think it's much more likely that Amazon will play it safe to avoid offending half of their audience.

    An all-out sorceress would not have been out of place in Serpent's Tooth! I'd love to see the return of supernatural themes, and much like Dr No's dragon turning out to be a contraption, the villain's suspected fortune telling is revealed to be sourced information from one stolen quantum computer (which calculates outcomes much faster than a classic computer) and guided by AI algorithms.
    Ooh, I like that concept. Love a Bond villain who fakes supernatural powers.
    Lets hope Purvis and Wade are reading this thread. I know I would.

    True, a bit of ambiguity is a good thing. Lets the mind run wild instead of having everything spelled out. A bit like when Bond deals the tarot cards and it foresees him and Solitaire escaping in 'the chariot' (bus) in the next scene. Did Bond add those specific cards to the top of the loaded deck or is the power of the Obeah at play?

    How about if the 'fortune-telling' quantum computer is destroyed in the finale. The villain stares at Bond's smoking silencer and with their dying breath says something like, "That thing will do more harm than good". And in the next movie Bond gets it caught in his waistband.

    LALD had an equaliser with Quarrel Jr; the local
    who knows the Baron is a con. His pop thought dragons were real, after all.

    Hopefully. The less nationalism, the better.

    Alternatively, it's the Euro 28 final. Germany 1 England 0. Last minute penalty. Wembley holds its breath. Can James Bond send the country wild with relief?

    No. He's English, so he misses. The Sun calls Amazon 'woke' and is bought out and burned down by an irate Bezos.

    No offense but if you're against any form of patriotism then you've backed the wrong franchise. The brits love their Bond, and that's not about to change.

    That doesn’t mean we all endorse nationalism.
