Sure, just remake TMWTGG and have an amnesiac Bond turn up and be put to the test by the service in an almost suicidal mission against an assassin. Set it in modern day Japan, with a few jumps to Kyoto or Okinawa for exoticism, cast one of the Turne…

Every new project that comes out during this interim from EON, will have their leading man attached to Bond as a means of publicity, that's all. From Kraven to Masters of the Air, from Argyle to Saltburn, ... It's just how the media wagon works. …

Brosnan had grey all over in 1994. Even his beard was already grey. I love those photos from the reveal that year. Long hair, beard. Black suit with brown shoes, polka dot tie. But at least no buoyancy vest and blonde hair ;) Actually, I think Craig…

That’s very true.

Actually, Mr. White is the real villain of the entire era. And an interesting one at that.

@Benny, that is one of the many reasons I still say NTTD won’t get past the scrutiny of time. It’s not OHMSS different, it’s not even DAD different, it’s just a mess from the 30m mark forward. They should course correct away from NTTD, not away f…

Now that’s a Chalamet I can get behind of. …sorry, to crass? :>

The great villain of the last Bond era was Le Chiffre, no doubt. Silva was also very memorable, but he should’ve been given a more memorable name. So, in accordance to the thread, we can sumise that, moving forwards, they’ll need better written s…

I know writers who did that with their earlier less known novels as well.

Heat is a Michael Mann remake of his own film. Just another example.

To be fair, I think OP and KOTFM were very good films. Were they films for the ages? I don’t think so. But we were lucky that this year had some good cinema to offer us, amidst so many shenanigans and disgraces.

Well, I suppose that if David Lean was still around making movies, we would be less appreciative of things like this; and by this I do not mean biopics of an epic scale, but epics done under the seal of cinematic quality. But I did enjoy it. I wi…
