Yeah, I know. I call this "the test screening finale"
Ok 👍🏻
Huh…. I never thought of that… and that’d be a great choice. He’s very likeable… damn! I love that casting, @sandbagger1
EDIT: plus he’s in the Amazon fold with a First Look Deal with them after the success of Roadhouse… makes a lot of sense, @sandbagger1 ….
And then watch him in Prisoners where he has quite a dark history, contrasted with a “good guy” character in Roadhouse.
He's got some chops.
Agree with the death part. All the main characters that started the narrative arc of Daniel Craig's Bond were dying, only he was left to close that arc. That's why for me, the ending of NTTD made sense and justification.
;)
A consolation for the living, for whom Bond made the greatest sacrifice, with the flesh & blood character literally passing into myth.
From Heracles to Christ the religious overtones are unmistakable ....
Yeah except for die another day when he was tortured
Or the world is not enough with fracture to his arm
Or tomorrow never dies where by the end he was bloody and bruised
Pr the end of goldeneye where he was again bloody or bruised
Or at rhe end of license to kill where he was mentally and physically exhausted and looked like he was run over by a truck
Wait i am starting to think you havent seen many bond films
Also Dr. No bond was badly beaten up by the end… Goldfinger… on her majesties secret service his wife dies…
I see no christ metaphores in no time to die
It's a pity because less is more. A simple death would be more effective.

Bingo.
On imdbpro, all of Villeneuve credits are being shown.
There are no projects of his that have been left untitled.
And @Mendes4Lyfe , if you think we will be receiving news “in days”, keep on waiting… 🙄…
Ok. You are right.
EON might be prepared to wait around forever, but legendary aren't, and Villeneueve already has another project lined up after Messiah. If he is involved you can expect things to start rolling pronto.
Is that what your You Tubers are reporting, 😂!!!!
IF Villeneuve is the guy (and I have said he’s the leading candidate since February), IF he is, these negotiations very rarely unravel in the straight line you think they do.
Like Malek before him (who was shooting MR ROBOT’s final season while simultaneously shooting NTTD), negotiations then (and, IF Villeneuve is the guy), and now, will be weeks and and weeks and weeks and weeks of back and forth; schedules have to be worked out and negotiated with Villeneuve (and his ppl will have to be running back and forth speaking to the other producers and their timelines, then back to EoN), a script still has to be submitted, and in a reasonable time, and logistics around the casting process and all those things will be a part of what will become the final offer.
So IF Villeneuve is the guy, there are many obstacles still in the way to clear the runway.
But, hey Mendes, you know everything about everything, and I’m sure you’ll come back with another fantastical “fact” that you’ll pull from thin air…
These things never move in a straight line. IF B26 is the secret project Villeneuve’s not at liberty to speak about, but it needs to see the light of day quickly, I wouldn’t expect to hear a whisper about any of this until early summer (and I have enough humility to say that’s me making a guess. Do you know what being humble is, Mendes? Look it up, buddy)…
Bleeding wound on the side stuck out to me upon first viewing. There's no one left to hurt us, indeed.
I just love this damned film with all my heart… I was going to watch the clip you posted, but as soon as I heard, “you both there?”… I turned it off, my old peepers already filling.
The false assumption is that this all began in April 2024, when we already know Villeneuve was in contention for Bond 25, and have likely kept in contact since. No ones saying it's not a complicated process, but reason is there to think the starting gun was pulled in the last couple weeks, and not months ago? Weren't you saying that there's a high likelihood of more going onto than we're privy to, and that Barbara was merely playing coy in interviews? It's likely that EON have had SOMEONE they've been keeping their eye on for years, and IF that person turns out to be Villeneuve, it's entirely possible they'll been laying the groundwork behind the scenes for the past few months, to grease the wheels on production. I mean, doesn't that seem at least possible to you? If not, why do we assume none of this work has been done already, if Barbara is indeed playing coy and much further along than things appear to be?
You’re all over the map, @Mendes4Lyfe .
I’ve been saying that Villeneuve is the “prime suspect/candidate” since Feb (mid Feb).
But IF I’m on the correct track, I’ve also been saying a script needs to be delivered in a reasonable time, or, like with NTTD (you know, that film which you won’t dare utter its name, 😂), he won’t be able to do Bond due to scheduling (which is what happened after Boyle left NTTD. History WILL repeat itself IF Villeneuve is the guy).
So, unlike you, Mendes, I’ve been pretty consistent with what I’ve been saying (then again, I don’t get any news from YouTubers, so….)
There are many, many, many obstacles to clear out of the way, and we won’t hear anything in “days” like you stated today (with a “bingo” as the cherry on top). IF anything is happening, a rough schedule has to be agreed upon— and not only with Eon and Villeneuve (IF it’s him)— but with the producers of the other projects. This is a complicated process and takes patience on all sides (patience— you should look that word up too). Malek was signed on, or close to that year’s Oscar weekend, but negotiations (a lot of it dealing with scheduling (not just with the actor and EoN, but with Mr Robot’s producers as well)), were filled with so much time spent on the back and forth of schedules. I’m surprised all parties made it work.
So, EoN and Villeneuve (IF it’s him), have been here before for NTTD. Will they get it done with this second go-round (IF it’s him)? I don’t know. That’s up to the negotiators, and the producers from Eon, the producers of his other projects, his schedule, what’s locked in his schedule, when actors of the other projects will be available, when they won’t…., it’s complicated and takes a bigger brain, than even yours, darling, to put all the moving pieces together.
So, go back to the ATJ rumours. You ran some pretty good laps around that. Keep going on that one!!
As far as signing a new director, in my humble opinion (did you look up that word? Humble? You really should), we won’t hear anything until early summer. If then (I’m purely guessing).
Same here. The family melodrama stuff works so well for me.
As @peter has been saying from the beginning...IF any of this happens, it will take its course...IF it happens at all.
If Villneuve is involved with B26 we should know something by the end of the month. Nolan seems like he's already out of the race, if the rumours about him doing the prisoner reboot are believable.
@ColonelSun EON are going to lose a lot of people if they let BOTH Nolan and Villeneuve slip the net. Personally I'd be fine with neither Villeneuve or Nolan are picked, as Edgar Wright has been my top choice for years.
EON will try and find the best director available to them. I’m sure there are many lesser known names who could potentially be great, and perhaps outright better for the job. Like a hypothetical candidate for Bond we don’t see what goes on behind the scenes that leads to them getting the job - what their ideas are, how well they understand Bond/this specific story etc.
I do understand disliking certain directors, but I’m not sure if that alone would make me not go to see a certain Bond film. Why a director who one isn’t interested in would outweigh a fan’s love of the character/hope to see a film they love (or essentially lead to them not wanting to watch the film), is beyond me and seems a miserable way to approach films.
Based on what, @Mendes4Lyfe ?
What you claim is just your own made up timeline that you’ve fabricated in a vacuum.
It’s absurd.
Nothing will likely be announced in two weeks, just because you insist it should be, or else it’s not happening.
This is crazy talk now, and I’m going to slip out the back door and let you rant and rave as you see fit.
Just flipping crazy, Mendes.
