    I can't believe some muppet is calling for Barbara Broccoli and Mike Wilson to step away from the franchise. Unbelievable!

    Yeah great idea - bin MGW and Babs and give the studio total control. Who knows we might be really lucky and they might even manage to coax Michael Bay into taking the directors seat.

    Welcome back, sorry you had to step in a pile of poo as you walked in the door. Things have gotten pretty crazy over the last few weeks since the lack of news. Should've seen how it was when P&W were announced to return!

    And he hasn't missed a beat. Unfortunately, you'll find that Lazenby was the first casualty in our Great Bond Elimination Game, but you'll also find yourself nominated for the greatest Lazenby fan award, and it shall no longer have to be in absentia.

    Well, there is a slight mistake in this. The article says, that the original script was written by P&W and being rewritten by John Logan. If I got that right, it is the other way round?

    It's just something thrown together by the talent agency. It's full of inconsistencies. Like I said early this morning, I figure they took miscellaneous tidbits from the Internet and threw it up there, hence Chiwetel Ejiofor being attached when he isn't confirmed.

    Indeed. And reportedly the reason the opera sequence of QoS had to be re-edited once it was spotted that a Super Fan was trying to photobomb every crowd/audience scene.

    Fans! Ugh! Can't live with them, entertainers wouldn't have a career without them.

    Photobomb idiots are everywhere, I swear.

    Fans in charge of Bond would be a complete disaster.

    Agree with you big time Getafix! Especially with all the changes that appear to be happening? ~X(

    I think that lack of news is a good thing. The less one knows about the film the better. Although I realise some people like going into a Bond film knowing everything that happens every minute of the film to the point where it's like you've alrady seen the film and there are no surprises left. Something I've never understood but each to their own. :)

    Just a few possible locations? or cast members? Certainly not one for knowing everything? I always avoid spoilers for films i am really pumped for.

    Well, as for TWINE, some experts here pointed out, that the final version was done by Apteds wife Dana Stevens, and apparently she did the most harm to that script. And as for DAD, Tamahori wanted all this shit to be in the script, and apparently Babs and Mike did not stop him, and P&W just did, what they were ordered to do...

    Seriously all this criticism of BB & MGW, so called pissing on the legacy of Cubby. Seriously ARB was not the faultless god of Bond some would like to think.

    Yes this is the same Cubby that told Spielberg he wasn't ready to direct Bond despite having been responsible for the biggest blockbuster of all time Jaws. Spielberg showed ARB though and gave us an action adventure film that betters any Bond film. So he wasn't ready, who's film are we aping in some second rate Bond adventure a mere 2 years later but Stevie's Indiana Jones?

    At least BB and MGW see Bond beyond directors by numbers like John Glen and are willing to give individuals a chance instead of in house lackeys with no vision at all. Seriously do you think Bond would be were it is with the modern day equivalent of Glen directing the Craig era?

    Look, I think we all know that Bond would have been finished on the big screen decades ago if it wasn't for the persistence and commitment of Babs and MGW, but that doesn't mean that we can't express frustration with them sometimes. It would be cool to see what different producers could do with the series, but undoubtedly that route would soon lead to the series ending. We might get a splendidly original entry from some auteur director, but where then? It's the Brocolli family that have kept and continue to keep the show on the road. For that they deserve respect.

    That said neither is blind faith in Broccoli/Wilson family nepotism the future. The seminal 007 Legends executively produced by David G Wilson anybody? Don't try telling me a load of fanboys and a Commodore 64 wouldn't have produced better results?

    Isn't Martin Cambell a bit like the modern day equivalent of Glen? A journeyman director who has worked his way up and knows the business back to front. Glen may not have been an auteur director but he still helmed 3 of my favourite entries in the series. Less of the Glen knocking please - he's massively and unfairly underrated round here. To be honest, it's a steady pair of hands like his that has so obviously been missing over the last quarter century of very hit and miss Bond movies.

    Agreed. Except me. I am a fan and I am planning to direct a Bond film 20-30 years from now. It won't be shit, I promise. :) A young 30-35 year old Bond, basic gadgets, no Moneypenny, no Q, Bond never wears a suit or a tuxedo in the whole movie. Fluid cinematography but absolutely no shaky cam, think "The Tree of Life". Great emphasis on impeccable costume design, inspired by the movie "Io sono l'amore". A very unique Bond girl: a young divorced woman with children (don't worry they never appear in the movie, they are only mentioned). Very Bondian locations. NO ugly Central Asian underground tunnels, NO fake looking lairs shot entirely in a studio. 3 locations maximum! Very simple but not simplistic plot with very strong characters. A Bond movie shouldn't be a complicated thriller but rather a suspense/drama with 3 amazing action scenes. In cinemas around 2040! ;)

    Well, unless your Bond movie WILL be Bond 24 (and hopefully not, if you're planning 2040), feel free to share it.. elsewhere.

    My hopes are still up for Emmanuel Lubezki as the DoP. Look no further then "The Tree Of Life" or "Children Of Men" to see that he got the talent!
