    I think The Rhythm Section was Gregg Wilson's project.

    Barbara and Michael are the "name" producers behind the film, but I've been keeping a close eye on Reed Morano's Instagram page and during production it was clear that Gregg was on set a lot.

    I imagine, Gregg will replace his father at some point. After all, his grandmother is Barbara's mother. So he's in the family business for keeps.

    There is zero chance Eon relinquish control - I guess they could promote someone like Andrew Noakes at some point, but I think they are rather proud that a Broccoli/Wilson has been on every film since 1962.

    But I imagine, Bond 25 will be Wilson's last film (he was v ill during SP and hardly on set) and Barbara may go it alone (or bring on Gregg).

    She’s not going it alone. Gregg is a producer on 25 (as he has been since QoS) and he will replace his father officially on 26. He has even started doing the Wilson cameos, starting in SF.

    Where was he in SF, and SP, @peter?

    He was a bar patron while Bond pounds back shots and plays with Scorpions, and in SP he passes by M and C during their gentlemanly faceoff (I think M calls Denbigh a little shit in the scene? I always FF by anything to do with C and Nine Eyes now!)

    Me too, that's why I didn't spot him. Good eyes, @peter. Gotta rewatch that scorpion scene now.

    The cool thing about his SP cameo is, that he does the scene together with his father, so it feels like a passing of the baton already.
    I looked very close for his SF cameo but still can't find him in that bar scene.

    I heard Mike G's cameo was deleted from SF as he did have a cameo, apparently, as one of Silva's guards on the island. Could be just an unfounded rumour, however.

    I just looked it up on IMDB and he’s a bar patron; I always thought in the early part of the scorpion scene, he was the actor directly to DC’s left. He’s not there on the other angle.

    He's a pallbearer at the funeral. He's still visible when Tanner says "It's time to go."

    I always forget about that one, even if it was said in here many times.

    Just watched it and @jake24 is indeed correct. Damn, I was convinced he was in the bar scene, and looking up IMDb it seemed to verify that!

    Is has it been made official that B25 is Michael's final Bond film. I haven't heard this before?

    If you enjoy MI films, that's fine. I don't watch them, but I saw the first two. I still feel they have not been a fair comparison to Bond yet they are brought up time and again. Just because of the stunts? Well, I don't look at Bond to "out-stunt" other films. I want the action to be awesome, yes, and to fit the story and bigger is definitely not always, or even often, better.

    If you’ve only seen the first two then you really can’t judge. What’s been discussed, at length, in other topics is how the most recent three MI films compare to the most recent three Bond films . The MI films have excelled, and in turn exceeded Bond,in virtually every category, not only stunt work.

    But still ... MI films comparing to Bond films? You feel the stories and lead character are comparable enough? Just wondering. I don't care about stunts being better. I never thought Bourne or Ethan Hunt were comparable to Bond. I can enjoy some Bourne, but still Bond is different for me. I don't feel Bond films are ever threatened by MI films. I get you are saying that the MI films for you were better in several categories. We all have our own opinions, of course. I just don't get comparing them to Bond. Especially main character.

    Exactly. In Fallout everybody says Ethan Hunt is the world's only hope and he can't even settle down because if he doesn't save the world no one else can. That, to me, was beyond ridiculous and even erased any tension from the movie. If the hero is invincible suspense is reduced to zero.

    Bond is human, he has flaws and makes mistakes, and that makes him much more compelling than Ethan. In Goldfinger M tells Bond that if he can't accomplish the mission 008 will be sent on his stead. The You Know My Name song further reiterates this as Bond is "nothing so divine, just next in line". And he is not invincible, he fails. He was tricked by Vesper and couldn't protect Tracy or M. He is somewhat relatable, which is why I love Bond so much in the first place. He always reminds me that things are tough and life is hard, even to him, but that's not the reason to ever let yourself down.
    I find it odd that folks think that Bond is more human than Hunt. From his inception back in ‘96 Hunt was never presented as some suave super spy with a fancy gadget, car, quip, martini, and girl on his elbow. Yet that’s exactly how Bond was presented from the get-go with Connery back in the 60s. He was the ultimate in male fantasy wish fulfillment. The ultimate savior of the world from the ticking bomb doomsday senario! Perhaps things have changed somewhat with Craig but at its core this is what “movie Bond” was all about. Whereas Hunt is actually the guy who worries about his relationships and has all these human hangups that Bond is traditionally too cool to have.

    So in my opinion you have it backwards. But hey I don’t want my Bond to have these foibles. I want my Bond to be the ultimate suave hero, savior of the world.
    +1. Well said.
    Going by your avatar am I correct in assuming you’re a Steve McGarrett/Jack Lord fan? I believe that’s a shot from Hawaii Five-O. My favorite TV show! :)

    As Clark answered, that's a still from Hawaii Five-O. McGarrett liked to stand at his window, then look back to make a point.

    One of Jack Lord's significant plays.

    I unintentionally bear similar styles and preferences to that of his.

    Jack Lord. Wish he'd been in more Bond films. My favourite Felix. As good an actor as Jeffrey Wright is he hasn't been given anything to do.

    My thoughts exactly. Both Lord and Wright are my favorite Felix Leiters.

    The problem with Lord was that he always wanted the spotlight in everything he starred in. He wanted a co-star billing with Connery in Goldfinger and equal screentime, which was a big reason enough to look the other way and get Cec Linder.

    When Lord was offered the role of Captain Kirk, he wanted a large portion of the rights to the show bought to his account so he'd have creative control, hence they again looked the other way.

    Finally, with Hawaii Five-O, he got his wish. The rights to the show was divided between Leonard Freeman, CBS and himself. Lord, as much as I like him, was quite the control freak.

    Hopefully something along his appearance in his Dynamite comics storyline. Make him have a point! And let him get in on the action for once!

    I agree I want to see felix not just be bond's american ally but an integral part of the story and have him in the action for once.

    Yep I know. I have all 12 seasons on DVD. I recognize that window and that balcony and that look he had when looking out the window, then looking back. He also loved to feverishly snap his fingers when trying to figure out a puzzling case. :) Barely a week goes by without me catching at least one Five-O episode. I also came back from Hawaii (O’ahu) this summer so I was really stoked about rewatching both Five-O and Magnum (both of which I own on DVD). If I could live anywhere it would be O’ahu. Too bad they knocked down the Anderson Estate (Robin’s Nest on Magnum, Five-O filmed there too) earlier this year. I always dreamed of living there. Hey a guy can dream right? ;) But I did get a chance to swim in the ocean/tidal pool out back of the property (where Selleck used to swim) which was VERY cool. As well as peek over the gate in the back and front.

    It's been only a couple of weeks, if not less, that I finished my Magnum PI marathon myself. :D

    In fact, watching both Five-O and Magnum back to back is a terrific experience.

    Before the moderators get annoyed, I started a Hawaii Five-O thread (both original and current series). Mostly because if I'm not careful, I could get going on Five-O myself.
