    Adding to that, Bond has his own chess set in Jamaica. So who is playing who.

    Definite product placement opportunity there.

    This is Bond s nicest home yet.

    lmao ANYHING is an upgrade from the university student dump from Spectre.

    I certainly wasn’t crashing in a multi-million pound apartment in Notting Hill when I was a student.

    That apartment was brilliant, yet underused. The film one, I mean ;)

    I liked it too. I was reminded of George Clooney's little-used apartment in Up in the Air -- not the decor, but its minimalist, functional vibe. Like Ryan Bingham, Bond simply isn't "home" a whole lot.

    They've also never introduced May, the housekeeper, in the films.

    They need to, going back to the books would help difference the next James Bond.

    Should have put your back into it a bit then ;-).

    There are certain gentlemen in the Notting Hill area who could’ve afforded me the luxury but I’d have had to have put more than my back into it.

    Would love to see May included one of these days.

    I would've been satisfied if Kincaid stuck around as Bond's housekeeper in London.

    And I would love to see Bond put a foot on her ass if misbehaves.

    I think it would be a bit weird to be honest. Who has a housekeeper? And can’t Bond look after himself?

    The inclusion of a housekeeper character these days would be leapt on like a red rag to a bull.

    I could see people not familiar with the lore be like. "Why does Bond have a female Alfred now?"

    Yeah it would be odd. Even Tony Stark didn’t have a servant who brought him meals and he was a billionaire! Imagine Harris’ Moneypenny’s reaction to finding out Bond has a servant..!

    You know the AI Jarvis? In the comics it's a human butler. They made a great decision to limit the batman comparisons.

    Remember in Bond's world, food simply appears. HE does not cook.

    I think May works better in the literary world. we're already hoping for the next Bond to be a man alone, without the Mi6 team frequently around him. Adding a house keeper without any real contribution to the plot, might stray into unbondian territories.....at least for the Cinematic Bond. But I think May would have worked in Moore's era.....his light-hearted style would have forged great chemistry with the Character.

    I was going to say, I think the only time May would have worked in film is at the beginning of LALD. Craig’s Bond having a maid wouldn’t work in the modern era I don’t think.

    Yes I could just about picture that. Connery would have seemed emasculated a bit I think, although it may have worked with Lazenby as he seemed a bit of a man child.

    Agreed as far as Moore is concerned.
    The BBC´s Sherlock practically invented a character for Mrs. Hudson that worked quite well IMO. If the Bond producers want to explore more of Bond´s personal life, something like that might offer possibilities. Especially since MP for a long time now doesn´t have the pampering role she used to have in the past. And just imagine the psychological possibilities if Bond had both MP and May looking after him!

    He's been known to dabble.

    Excellent find @antovolk - Bravo!

    Interesting insight on how far they got with the Danny Boyle version of the film. It looks as though it will be very different from NTTD.

    Tildesley reveals that a rocket was being built at Pinewood and a Russian gulag being built in the mountains in Canada. Perhaps this is the place rumoured to be where Bond would be imprisoned......

    Besides the fact that Bond would have been imprisoned for a large portion of the narrative, what exactly do we know about the story that Boyd was developing? It's the first time I learn about a possible rocket in the plot.

    Rumors said Boyle wanted to kill off Bond, and that's what caused the split between him and EON.

    If that's true it does imply that the ending of the leaked Reddit synopsis could more likely be what happens.

    If this is true then why does fukunaga version named "No Time To Die" considering why they split with Boyle.

    My crackpot theory is that the (awful) prediction that Safin = Dr. No is true, and the title is actually a pun.

    EON, if you're reading this, please don't make Safin No.
