    @echo I woldn't call that a positive, but it's Amazon we're talking about..

    She was responsible for Paloma, which is as close to a consensus positively-received sequence as anything in NTTD.

    But can she save the whole frenchise?


    Best scenario: contrary to all natural forces Amazon decides to find the best actor, best crew, and builds a family that produces a film every two-to three years, in which the character is balanced and understood.

    Worst scenario: Bond is beeing 'Americanized', in which he's turned into a super-hero with straight foreward no ambiguity storylines that are predictable as can be. Then there are series, spin-offs, etc.

    t.b.h. considering the fact that the Russian have now taken over America and Americans have taken over Bond, I can only expect very bad things, and hope for the not-so-bad things.

    @echo She wrote Paloma? that's an alright set piece, if only a bit gameplayesque. I am more concerned of her political views permeating the final product.

    What are her political views?

    👍
    Considering he spent so many years battling Russia it is an odd position to arrive in.

    I think a positive is that Phoebe Waller-Bridge has a deal with Amazon. She and any connective tissue to previous Bond films (Danny Kleinman, where are you?) would be welcome...so that we don't end up with sanitized Marvel/CGI pablum.

    I for one love Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Just sayin'.

    I like her too and I'm not at all threatened by her alleged feminism. I see her as a talented artist, not as someone who's only out there to push a political agenda.

    She was really the best (or maybe I should say most interesting) thing about the last Indy film for me. Unfortunately.
    She's one of those rare actors that connects to & plays off of other actors with ease.

    Best case scenario: Bond movies that actually look and feel like Bond movies again, with engaging stories about geopolitical intrigue instead of melodrama, attractive women and memorable villains, and a lead actor who's actually enthusiastic about playing Bond

    Worst case scenario: Bond movies that are uncanny like NSNA and are no different from the bland, soulless digital slop that Amazon typically makes

    Best case scenario: they get Cavill to be Bond.
    Worst case scenario: suddenly NSNA seems like an EON production.

    Yeah, seems like a no-brainer that they should bring in Phoebe to write, and play Moneypenny.

    Like my comment if you agree. 👍

    Bond keeps that promise of two tickets to the theatre, and after the show he gets an urgent call, inevitably dragging MP along for the ride. Culminating in them flying a plane through a time vortex and landing in 1953. To which Bond says, "This seems strangely familiar."

    She killed Indiana Jones and buried him. Of course she's going to slap Bond out in oblivion.
