What is there to talk about? We know virtually nothing. I suppose one can speculate. I predict that Bond will drink a martini in Cuba. :) Fleming thought that Connery was an “overgrown stuntman” until he saw him in the role. Due to his delight wi…

Tom Hardy is the only person I can see playing Bond truly convincingly. He has everything - the charm, the physicality, the looks... Maybe he has no interest but Eon should push for him. Who cares if he’s more we’ll known.

I just heard on the radio that when Henry Cavill auditioned for Casino Royale, he was told that he was a little fat. Obviously he has ripped up since then. He said that being told this motivated him to do so.

Armistice Day. Commemorates to all soldiers... According to John Pearson, in his excellent biography of Bond, it’s our favourite spy’s birthday today. So, Happy Birthday Mr Bond!

There are some good things about Spectre but overall it's an average Bond movie at best. As for Skyfall, I think it's a good film. I wonder why people don't like this movie. It isn't without a few flaws but nor are any of the Bond films.

I just hope she is dressed in some realistic clothing for the action and not some kind of red cat suit. In high heels? Okay, if she’s already at a party... Damn, I’m thinking too much. :) Back to my Reacher novel...

“...his knowledge and no bullshit attitude towards the franchise is very refreshing” Yeah, true. He thinks Craig will return for another.
