    I didn't realise they'd already done this with Colonel Sun. Even dialogue apparently?

    You had to be looking for it. I admit I didn't catch it on first viewing. It was among a lot of "special thanks" credits in the end titles.

    Indeed. The article mentions competition. So what's the competition? Disney?

    Trends come and go. They have come and gone in the past 55 years. But Bond has always stuck to his guns and he's always been around.

    Even my brother-in-law Billy Bob is annoyed by this guy.

    “Let’s start with that pesky, little tweet of mine. Was this even a big thing?”

    "Aw, who me? Did I do that?"
    “I tweeted something to the effect I heard the Broccolis were planning a Bond unvierse and potentially juggling multiple movies simultaneously. To me, to have a Bond movie once, I don’t know, once every three or four years in this kind of competitive landscape, you can’t really do that anymore. You have to keep the well going. I don’t know if Bond thinks it’s special.”

    So there—of course, as we all knew—never was anything there to begin with. Just this guy thinking everybody else is doing universes so Bond needs to do one too. Let me start a false hearsay rumor about that and get myself some buzz. And this inflammatory "I don't know if Bond thinks it's special." Guy sounds like a real tool. Just peddling his empty rumors for page views. I was watching The Outlaw Josey Wales the other day and there's this idiot character with a bottle of pond water with the label "Elixir" on it that he keeps trying to sell to everybody. Clint finally spits a generous helping of tobacco on the man's white suit coat. I think this Sneider needs a similar wake-up call re: his little bottle of pond water.

    It's no big deal in the grand scheme of things—all this clickbait hearsay "journalism." It's just obnoxious. Like the guys peddling pond water elixirs in westerns. They contribute no good to society. They're only after page views. And all they really do at the end of the day is spread misinformation.

    I don't take anything seriously anymore, especially in the last fifteen years when journalism has become the back end of all the jokes out there.

    Back then, they made a big deal of Craig being blonde, and then reported that he can't drive manually transmitted cars or whatever, fast forward the "casting" of Idris Elba in the role, as well as that "big revelation" of an announcement MGM and EON were going to make approximately a year ago, and these are just the tip of the iceberg.

    Pinch of salt. Take everything with it.

    Exactly. It has, as you say, been the norm for internet journalism for a long time now. Sadly, it only appears to be growing more and more widespread.

    re: using continuation novels for Bond movies.

    Yes, the authors would get paid. However, the payment would be tiny compared with the cost of the "car drive" and "world's biggest explosion in a motion picture" in SPECTRE.

    Why would it be tiny? Because there's no other market. Eon has a monopoly on making James Bond films. It's not like there will be a bidding war.

    Also, they apparently paid something to Kingsley Amis' estate given the "special thanks" credit in the SPECTRE end titles. They've opened the door to further use of continuation novels. Whether they take of advantage of it remains to be seen.

    I think they have no other choice if they can't come up with anything original they will have to use continuation novels which could be interesting

    Wow, 1.75k new posts here. You've kept busy. ;) I only read the latest page, and I'm all up to date with the news now. :P

    Did you catch the part where some island near Malta changed the heading on their official James Bond page from "Spectre" to "New James Bond Movie"?

    Nope. Oh dear oh dear...

    Well said. I lost interest and respect for that guy's opinion as soon as he mentioned the code-name theory again.

    --More than two months since New York Times report about the studio presentations.

    I wonder what Albert Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have to say about this.

    I for one would be extremely interested to hear Albert's opinion on all matters Bondian.

    Can someone please tell me who that chap is above with a face closeup, and what he has to do with our discussion? Are we supposed to admire and be in awe of his complexion?

    EDIT: Looks like it's been deleted. Thank goodness.
