That looks like my grandpa at last year's convention of Dimi's exes.
Didn't want to butt in or undermine anyone, @Denbigh - hope I didn't.
Things just seemed to be a bit quieter on here the last couple of days so just wanted to keep the mood going!
"Those of a traditionalist disposition might want to look away now. The old-fashioned values and casual sexism that defined the 007 of previous generations will be a thing of the past, according to Naomie Harris, who's reprising her role as MI6 secretary Eve Moneypenny in the forthcoming Bond movie. 'We're seeing a real evolution of his character,' she says of the new and improved James Bond."
That's the second warning I got. The first one was when Phoebe Waller Bridge promised to make Bond a Metoo icon. As long as they don't mess around with the first 24 - like renaming 'Dr.No' to "Dr.No means No" or something, I'll be fine.
If true, 😘👌 and CALLED IT ;)
She never said that. She referred to the films overall, not the character himself. Whether that is what happens of course remains to be seen, but she didn't promise to make him a MeToo icon. Quite the opposite.
Wait?!?!? @marketto007 you are a man seriously in the know about these kind of things. You visited the set of Spectre after all and have links with Sony.
Are you saying that Bond 25 is called ‘007’?
'We're seeing a real evolution of his character. He's now having equal relationships with the female characters and he's emotionally attached, making real connections. There's real respect for the women in his life. There are now four women in the script and they all have incredibly strong roles and play a huge part in driving the story forward and assisting Bond."
Hmm...
"James Bond will be turned into a ‘#metoo feminist icon’ thanks to feisty Bond girls and Fleabag writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge"

You are right. That was the interpretation of the journalist. Probably just wishful thinking.
What PWB is quoted saying is this: "He needs to be true to his character.” Hard for me to figure out what that means, since Naomie Harris is talking about a "new and improved Bond."
That would look weird:
ALBERT R BROCCOLI'S EON PRODUCTIONS
PRESENT
DANIEL CRAIG AS
IAN FLEMING'S JAMES BOND 007
IN
007
Yep, that too. Weird as hell. Just please, EON, use the little grey cells and give us some juicy pulp Fleming worthy title. Take your time, if you have to.
Right?
Exactly. I am now concerned we really are getting a crummy title for B25.
I'd take A REASON TO DIE over 007.
Me too. Definitely. Even the bloody Eclipse crap.
007 would remind me of the lackluster title that was JASON BOURNE. Honestly I skipped that film because the title was so trite it turned me away.
Again, me too. Didn't even see it. And I have the Bourne trilogy. A title matters, no matter how many times I see a fan here say it doesn't. It really does. As a novel writer, I find it an idiosyncrasy to believe a title doesn't relate directly to the quality of the piece.
Shame as all the other Bourne films had great titles. A title is extremely important, IMO.
It's a dying art coming up with a catchy memorable title. In addition it's a films foremost stamp of individuality .
'Honestly I skipped that film because the title was so trite it turned me away'
C'mon, man) It's just silly to not watch a film because of title)
Interesting that Ana has only one project to shoot next. It's about M. Monroe and I doubt that she has to be bold for it. Her only project in the process of making is B25 and maybe she did this with her hair for Bond.[/quote]
Could be a bald cap.
Could be wearing a wig in the film.
Could be Nena Blofeld.
That's not what he said.
Spectre was lazy. 007 would be lazy.
And I just don't like it.
Swan Song is simply annoying to me.
Didn't like A Reason To Die either. Awful.
So I'm still going with: MeToo (with or without the hashtag) ;)
Thank you. I didn't see it because of a miriade of reasons. Still, a title is very important.
For me the bottom like is: this film is following the series' second longest hiatus. If the title is announced as 007, that leads me to believe Eon really couldn't come up with anything at all for this film regarding a title. If the title is that weak, to me that also implies after nearly 5 years they possibly haven't come up with anything substantial regarding the rest of the film itself.
So far there has been very little that's got my heart pumping for this entry. The press conference was so-so, the choice of composer gave me doubts, and the lack of a title this late in the game I find worrying.
What I do like so far is the Jamaica location, Malek's casting and Leiter's return.
The one minute video clip we got awhile back showed some interesting colors and a potential for beautiful cinematography. Even as I'm typing this I feel I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel to find something exciting regarding this film.
Hopefully the trailer changes all that.
She's an outstanding ambassador for Bond.
Based on what? She just did Cap Marvel and she was fine in it. Quite good, actually. But there's no proof she's gonna steal the show from such a great actor as Craig. But yes, I'm confident she will do a great job. The fact that she's not that kind of objectively stunning beauty like tons of Bond actress of the past is a good thing. For a role like this we don't need another Richards or Bach kind of """actress""".
Hopefully we are close to a teaser/poster/title reveal. Matera is the perfect spot to reveal something, given also all the press coverage perspectives.
Plus, titles are a capital thing in Bond movies. If the title will be "007" I would be extremely pissed by the lack of creativity behind it. Such creative people at work, the genius PWB polishing, and they come up with "007"? Better "A Reason to Die" or "Shatterhand" at this point.
Yes she is, 100%
I want Naomie has Moneypenny for years to come. She's great.

Boy, For Special Services, would be a book I would like to see adapted. I would like to work on it myself!
