I wonder if any Bond spec scripts are part of her Amazon deal?
God I hope not. Since reading Being Bond, almost every scene I disliked in NTTD, PWB had a hand in.
I hope her association with the series ends with NTTD
I'm stuck in a spiral with that. I want to know more about NTTD but I don't like NTTD and don't want to invest in the related materials. But you have me curious so I'll probably pick it up, as I always have before with the other editions.
I'm a big fan of Fleabag and want to see her ideas, regardless of NTTD. They should be prodding everyone in the stable before they kick them out.
I think her involvement with Indiana Jones will also tell us how big and in demand she will be, both for acting and writing. If she gets bigger named EON might push for her harder to stay or go.
There's not a lot of information in it but it's an interesting read. It mentions Daniel's outline for the Blofeld scene and PWB molded it. I think she wrote the M scene as well but I'm not positive
And he worked for an organization headed by the man who is the author of all your pain. If none of that makes sense to you, it's because it doesn't. You're the seventh JB and your history and timeline are unrelated to the six previous versions of you, but sometimes there are exceptions that are callbacks to a previous version of you. It could be a car, a piece of music, an incident, or a supporting character who will never wonder why you are so much younger than the sixth previous version of yourself.
Connery, Lazenby and Moore play the same guy active from 62 to 85. (I like the idea NSNA is a little pocket universe following on from GF though). Dalton and Brosnan play a different guy who was born about 20 years later and did some modernised versions of the classic movies. Craig is obviously another new incarnation who again did variations on stories like say, GF and GE between QOS and SF.
Made me wonder what kind of stunts can we devise ? Stunts not similar of previous Bond movie.
The setting should be a mix of a traditional farm with a ultra-modern/futuriste one (like autonomous tractor, a lab, weird looking glass house) : something intereting to see. A setting where Bond have to escape.
So what can we exploit ? In often there some kind of workshop in farm to repair the agricultural machinery : so lot of tools in a same room that could be use in a big hand to hand combat, including welding tools. Plus you can have in the center of the room a plough/harrow under reparation with its cutting/sharp edges.
There is also the classic bale of straw room : it's a type of room where a fire can done lot of damage. A hand to hand combat between bale in fire seems a bit cliché howewer ? There is also a place where fuel is stocked for the tractors, so a fire might lead to a big boom in our action sequence.
Maybe we can devise a foot chase/combat in a milking parlor, taking cover behind cow ; animals panicked with gunshoots. Could have bulls charging too.
You have also some kind of classic : trow an ennemi in a manure pit.
After things like that, Bond is outside where there is all sorts of tractors activities, of alls sort of brand, some existing, some like more futuristics :
There is also quads or/and theses thing below :
Bond should jump in one and go, his road cut by a farm vehicle coming so he his forced to go toward a silage silo (who look like a ramp) and jump it with the quad.
We can immagine three of four silage silo in a row, jumping them in a line while an pursuing quad jump the silo line next to him (and have the last silo of his line empty so the pursuing end up in a concrete wall at the end of it, with a bang).
Bond cut the road of a tractor with a trailer, which end up in his side while trying to avoid him.
After that Bond have to leave the quad [insert a reason why] and grab a flying drone who sprinkles a field a high speed :
Pursuiving gunmen shoot the drone down and Bond land near a corn field where gunmen track him. Can't see shit in it so it little isolated combat in ( (like in Hitman Absolution).
In the same field, there is automatic/no-pilot line of a futuristic harvesters who come toward them. Fight in the path of one, they decal to the left where another one come toward them, they decal once more. Bond finish to throw on of the bad guy in the blade of last one :
And Bond flee away after that (on a quad of one of a gunmen who previously came in the field to shoot him ?).
OFC you have to have some kind of good reason to have a villain who own a farm, and hope you viewers know a little about what a farm looks like.
I wonder, what other stunts can we immagine in this setting? You might want Bond on the wheel of a tractor of a moment but theses vehicles are kind of slow...
How about John Deere's autonomous electric tractor which looks like a cross between Skynet, ED-209 and Alien:
Speaking of farms, I think a solar farm would be ideal for a scene.
Obviously one of the biggest issues in the news is climate change, so I'd like to see a plot revolving around that.
It'd star Bond going up against Jack Spang, a green tech billionaire, specializing in clean power and climate change-resistant seeds. His sister, Serafina Spang, is the leader of a group of ecoterrorists. While Jack has publicly disavowed his sister for years, her terrorist ring's theft of top-secret multi-target missile tech has placed renewed scrutiny on the magnate. This comes at an inconvenient time for Jack, as he's currently rolling out a cloud seeding project designed to make areas in the global south more agriculture-friendly.
Bond discovers that Jack is in league with Serafina and a raving ecofascist himself. Their plan is to equip the multi-target missiles with a deadly version of the cloud seeding tech. Once the missiles are in the air, they will release modified iodide particles which will blanket the globe, bringing about a new ice age. This will lead to global crop failures and the starvation and death of millions- except, of course, for those able to afford Spang's cold-resistant food supplies. And yes, the victims will disproportionally be black and brown citizens of third-world countries; that's by design.
Bond, the lead bond girl, and a commando squad raid the villains' prepper bunker (based off this https://slowtourspoland.com/content/uploads/2018/12/Fotolia-Wieliczka-1_1500.jpg) and stop the missile, save the world, the end.
No, it's not shitting on the environmentalist movement. If anything, it's opposing billionaires who co-opt it for their own profit (Elon Musk).
And yeah, it's reminiscent of Quantum of Solace, but that movie came out fifteen years ago. We've had three different Spider-Men, Batmen, and Supermen each in that time. Audiences will forgive a subtle retread of the themes of QoS.

Maybe we could have a Russian balloon with 'Smiert Spionom' written on it?
Very Bond villian-esque. The Chinese and the Russians are there for Bond to take on in Bond 26. Forget political sensitivity.
A trilogy set in the 60s and about the young James Bond's induction and training in the Mi6 just before he gets his 00 status. Directed by Christopher Nolan.
;)
I hope this one is stylish, not too fast paced, with a lighter touch but not going into Moore or Deadpool territory. Not a complete origin story.
Plot/Story: So up in the air. In space? I hope not. A pandemic storyline ... probably not. Mass poisoning maybe (but to what end goal?) ... world domination by cloning of heads of state (every TV show has done this perhaps, but maybe Bond could still do it best) ... scientifically induced famine worldwide may be the villain's goal instead of blowing up the world (so villain's company would profit from "lifesaving" miracle plants/supplements or something.
Villain is so key and I don't have firm plot/storylines at the moment.
Travel to incredible places, yes. And I do want to see some lifestyle of the ultra rich, but not in a glorifying way.
Bond girl - along the lines of Natalya would be great. That attitude, smarts, skills, and beauty, etc. If a slower build is necessary, let it be somebody who can smoulder like Monica Bellucci. I think Ana de Armas (though still on the young side for my preference) would have been excellent to return, but she has her own film (series) in development (Ballerina, I think it is currently called) and she is linked to Daniel's Bond. But just to give an idea. I do want some lovely woman who can really act and has charisma with whoever ends up as Bond.
I wouldn't mind the same Bond girl in 2 consecutive films either. As for story arc, I like standalone films but I also like 2 film story arcs. Preferably not more than two, though.
Anyway, I hope it's a grand time, a lot of fun, makes you want to be there, exciting and with great dialog and chemistry among all the actors.
I think we are a year off from hearing of any pick for Bond actor. Nice if it were sooner, though.
M & Q & Miss Moneypenny ... all new actors, I think. I want it real, some tension, some camaraderie but not with Bond in the field often or at all. Maybe just to hand off something would be okay. For me, if I cannot have Idris Elba as Bond (I think age is the problem now) I'd love him as M. But also I'd love Helen Mirren as M. Think about that a moment; I think she'd be absolutely great. Q & Moneypenny I need to put more thought into.
Okay, I do like this. I can see that this could work with a great script.
It could be a soft adaptation of For Special Services in which Bond goes to the ranch of Marcus Bismarque.
