Thank you @Dwayne!
Another thing that I would like to see if anything is TD and DC talk about Bond, as their portrayals are similar. I know they are both private men, but they are both the closest to the original Bond in Ian Fleming’s books.
I would also like to see a possible villain spinoff, arguably of Goldfinger or Blofeld. I’m writing my own versions, if IFP is interested!
In terms of Bond 26, I think a director and a script confirmation would be nice.
If they remaster GE, they should remaster EA’s run from TND to FRWL.
Above all, publishers really need to publish GL ‘s autobiography, The Other Fella. It was scheduled to be released in hardcover by Century in 2013, and in paperback by Arrow in 2013, but as of now the book has not been released.
It'd be nice to have a retrospective look at the different eras over the years in a documentary
Project 007 release date
In a perfect world, reveal the actor playing Bond #7. Although I think it's too soon for that, I'd rather Eon make the right decision, than rush to cast someone in time for the 60th anniversary
It would be amazing to have a peek inside his memories of the films: all the good stuff I'm sure he can never publish though! :)

Three Craig films at the BFI IMAX - Skyfall, Spectre and NTTD as they already have IMAX versions. NTTD will be the 3D version, first time it will be shown in the UK I believe.
The BB MGW interview would be interesting. Wonder if they’ll take audience questions. That would be fun 😂
A man can dream. I'd love this too but I figure we would've got hints of such a set by now since we're almost in August already.
I also saw the "do not watch" notice on the MI6 main page but didn't see a Fathom Event listing for DN when I checked. In fact, the only mention of DN was as a "past event" not a current presentation.
My guess - and that is what it is (a guess) - is that for the US, DN may screen for a day or so around October 5th. Other than that, one off Bond events at the Alamo Drafthouse, for example, is all we are likely to get.
A pity, but EON seems to view the US market as an after-thought (or at least one gets that impression).
I wish this would be released in the US and in 4K. It looks like a great set.
With the Fathom page https://www.fathomevents.com/events/Dr.-No-60th-Anniversary?date=2022-08-21 and they match up.
Thanks @BT3366. I see it now.
Having DN as a scheduled Fathom Event, helps explain why the NYC Film Forum (as part of their "62-63-64" film series) is only showing FRWL and GF.
So, with that in mind, I’ll make it an event (a dual event, actually) for my DVD player.
20 Days (and counting) before the 60th anniversary (October 5th, 1962) of the initial release from two legendary British intuitions.
♫…Bond, Bond me do
You know I love you
I'll always be true
So please
Bond me do
Whoa, Bond me do…♫
I keep checking local theaters once a week in hopes that we get something, anything, but it seems unlikely at this point, unless we get some rollout in a few weeks alongside James Bond Day.
I'd also like to see a book based on actual access to the EON archives, rather than another oral history. Taschen sort of did this, but the text was subservient to the pictures and limited. EON wouldn't want researchers going through its current papers but there would be no harm letting a researcher view the papers relating to the classic films released between 1962 and 1989, now that all the major personnel are dead.
I'd also love to get a series of books on the scripts of unmade Bond films, such as the Ben Hecht and Joseph Heller screenplays of Casino Royale, Fleming's Moonraker script, the drafts of the third Dalton film, and the Connery/McClory/Deighton screenplay of Warhead. Throw in a book on the complicated script history of TSWLM, another on DAF (including the early versiond when Bond was still out for revenge, and the later ones with Goldfinger's brother), and maybe one on later films like OP (including the version with Blofeld and Spectre).
I agree with your second paragraph. I think the main reason we haven’t seen something like that is because EON still might use those ideas in the future.
I do think that's a bizarre coincidence which I only heard about relatively recently! :)
:> :> :>
@mtm. In the run-up to Skyfall (and the 50th anniversary), ABC News in the US actually devoted a long segment to that coincidence, and one of my local newspapers addressed the issue as well.

Recently, author John Higgs wrote an entire book around the belief that October 5th 1962 – and the twin releases – helped define two opposing views on the world. Titled LOVE AND LET DIE, he postulates that James Bond and The Beatles represent two very different things (i.e., Bond is “macho and war”, while The Beatles represent “love and peace”). Needless to say, I don’t agree with him, and as a MASSIVE fan of both, I view the coincidence of them emerging at the same time in history as being the result of a kind of collective desire for a new kind of energy and freedom in pop culture.
In any case, from this photo you can see that George Harrison really hates Bond, absolutely hates Bond!! In fact, the links between them are fairly large in number, with HELP (1965) serving as a kind of Bond spoof – right down to the riff that composer Ken Thorne inserted on the (US only) soundtrack.
:)) man, he found Bond disgusting, he really abhorrs Bond.
He even mocked him with that shirt! See?
Was it a sign of a protest?
Oh, George.....
All of the George I do find fun (George Harrison, George Lazenby, George Cloon- oh sorry!)
