Then who's the Bond girl? Léa Seydoux?
If she isn't 007, then I totally agree with you.
Probably, and Ana will have a smaller role ala Severine or Lucia. The Sacrificial Lamb.
That's obviously just speculation on my part. I just hope Bond can get some...
Wouldn't be a Bond film otherwise.
If Lea comes back as the lead, and possibly get's to
2. If you consider her being 007 offensive, then please sort out your priorities.
1. I think she's ugly. This isn't a fundamental truth, this is my opinion. So is she "Bond girl" or not?
2. For me, this is the biggest insult in the long history of the franchise. If this terrible rumor is true.
James Bond Producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli today released the official title of the 25th James Bond adventure, NO TIME TO DIE. The film, from Albert R. Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios (MGM), and Universal Pictures International is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga (Beasts of No Nation, True Detective) and stars Daniel Craig, who returns for his fifth film as Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007.
Do you guys think Bond will have sex in this Waller-Bridge-polished film? We know Nomi will reject him, we don't know a lot about Madeleine's role. We know AdA will help him through the journey, most likely in the Cuban scenes, but will Bond have an affair with her. He must, she's just too beautiful.
Of course he will have Sex, that's a requirement. I think he will have an affair with Ana, depends on the story, and whats going to happen with Madeleine.
Simply delicious indeed!
Goddamn... simply gorgeous.
There will probably be at least one sex scene. However, I have a bad feeling that this may end up like SF in which there is no main Bond girl he gets together with at the end.
My hunch is Nomi's role isn't a romantic one. Perhaps more of a Camille/Gala Brand type character? I think Ana's role may be small, a'la Monica Bellucci, and Madeleine's return, I'll assume is brief.
I hope I'm way off, of course but that's my gut feeling.
I also firmly believe (unlike Connery, Moore, Dalton and Brosnan) .........Bond won't be getting laid as the end credits role. That would depart too far from the established Craig formula.
The formula that dictates Craig's Bond can't get laid as the credits role............especially in an orange dingy.
Ahem ! Remember YOLT ?
They did get interrupted, as in TB, however I give YOLT extra points for including the orange dingy.
But I have a few conditions before this happens:
▀ Nomi can be 007 for some time during "No Time To Die", but I hope she later gives her 007-number away out of respect for James Bond. Perhaps give her the 008-number when she starts her own movie.
▀ The end of "No Time To Die" will probably lead into Daniel Craig's retirement as Bond-actor. But before we start a Nomi-film-franchise, I would like a new actor to be casted into the role of James Bond-007 before the end of Spring 2021 (perhaps Henry Cavill?).
▀ A Nomi-film should and can be produced/made/directed separately from a Bond-007-film. So that once every 1,5 years we get a 00-franchise-film in cinema's!
▀ So that means once every 3 years a new Bond-film, and once every 3 years a new Nomi-film.
▀ All of the above is nice, but I demand a truly strong-written Nomi-character. Bond-fans, but especially movie-lovers outside the fandom need to leave the cinema and say "Wow, that Nomi was marvellous!".
This is what that TSOMW will look like - set in the 20's
When EON can barely manage to muster up one Bond film in five years i can't really share your optimism...
I don't want a Bond spinoff. Not of Jinx, not of Moneypenny, not of Nomi, not of anyone for that matter. James Bond films are James Bond films and stand by themselves. There's no shared universe, no spinoff, no tv series, no film companion, nothing of the sorts. Those are ridiculous money making efforts that belong to Marvel, Disney or whatever. James Bond films are a family business about Ian Fleming's James Bond.
I would go and watch a bad Bond film in the cinema, even twice. But I'd never, ever, watch a Bond spinoff, not on television, not on cinemas, not even online on a free streaming service. I really wouldn't.
I think a lot of people feel the same way. But it's interesting that you're listed a number of light-skinned black actresses. I've only started learning about colourism myself, but it's a latent feeling that I think a lot of us have, mainly as we have a projected view of ethnic beauty being presented in films and TV. Rarely is it a dark skinned actress.
So much is dependent on NTTD - if Lynch gives a great performance and the character clicks with audiences- I can imagine a spin-off.
I think Craig's era will end definitively. Therefore, the continuity would need to be rebooted (again). This means the current continuity continues with Lynch. so we have two parallel series.
I can see either a Netflix limited series or a more modestly budgeted film with Lynch at the centre. This also means we get Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw and Ralph Fiennes reprising their roles. Which I'd be very enthusiastic about.
I've never really been down with the 'universe' theory applying to Bond - it rids the franchise of its sense of exclusivity and special-ness. The 'universe' theory doesn't suit certain franchises - such as Star Wars. The films need to feel like events and not episodes on a network cable show (like Marvel)
But.........Eon do have options if they wanted to extend their IP.
+ infinity.
Awful idea.
They nearly got their fingers burnt badly in 2002,and i'm sure have learnt their lesson.
I would never say never...again. Sean Connery taught us that. Some of us should have listened.
I would also strive my best not to judge a film before I've actually seen it. Really, I would. I do. I realize that this particular thread would be substantially shorter if my fellow fans would take that simple, sensible advice...but that's a consequence I'm willing to live with.
Essentially, Bond goes it alone.
However........if anyone edges the other on screentime, it's almost certainly Lynch. Both Seydoux and De Armas have been shooting other films whilst NTTD has been filming. Lynch has been with the film since it began filming in April.
Every Bond film ever has focused entirely on Bond and his (sordid) escapades. This will not be an exception.
The pay gap is the biggest lie/myth around. It does NOT take into account hours worked, job type, education/background of the person working, etc. If it were true, companies would never hire men and only hire women (especially women of color, since it seems they will work for such less money it boarders on the ridiculous); because corporations are only concerned with profit, right?
