CR and NTTD, for me. I think it’s probably the most interesting double-bill in the franchise, in that we get to see the contrast and growth (or lack thereof in some cases) in Bond’s character from the beginning to the end of his 00 career. It’s a…

I’d be on board with Chazelle. No complaints from me if he’s the choice.

Cruel Britannia The film begins with Bill Tanner (David Oyelowo) briefing M (Jared Harris) the Thorne Group’s (think Raytheon meets BASF) hostile takeover of Athena, a small but powerful Silicon Valley company, that has developed the world's most…

My interest in Nolan has wavered back and forth, but I've actually warmed up to the idea of him doing Bond if it were a more stripped back, espionage thriller like FRWL, TLD, FYEO, etc. I think it could lend well with his nonlinear storytelling and …

I’ve never been on the Theo James train, but watching him in The Gentlemen… holy smokes… he’s giving one hell of a Bond audition… it’s a shame he’s already almost 40 because the voice, the physicality, the refinement, the edge, the punny one-liners …

Things are at a standstill with Bond 26, so I’m not at all surprised that the rumours of him being in talks and developing a concept with the producers are false, but I wouldn’t be surprised if, when production does start again, Nolan ends up being …

That would definitely be left field, but I don’t hate it. My choice for Batman has been and will always be Jake Gyllenhaal.

I thought Craig’s wardrobe throughout his run was excellent. QoS in particular is very underrated in that regard. Even his casual looks like the Harrington jacket with the polo and jeans were pitch perfect for his iteration of the character. I’m …

Spectre is a strange one. On paper it should work but the end product felt very phoned in and dry. I think in part because Daniel Craig was clearly burnt out, the script needed a lot of work, and Sam Mendes had exhausted his creative energy on Skyfa…

I’m not sure if it’s worth reading into, but Bong Joon-ho, Denis Villeneuve, and Guillermo Del Toro all did Cast & Crew Interviews for NTTD. Do they have a relationship with Barbara Broccoli? That could certainly make an interesting shortlist.

Just saw Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX and I absolutely loved it, but it is not for everyone and the promotion/marketing was a bit misleading. Firstly, I don’t really think it’s as essential to see this in IMAX (I’d still recommend it to cinephiles) as w…

Personally, I don’t believe the two ideas are mutually exclusive. I think it’s possible to make Bond films that are more fun/humorous and more emotionally and dramatically resonant than the Craig films. I think it’ll require a lot more effort in the…

I LOVE the idea of Jesse Plemons. He never crossed my mind, but I’d be really excited about that casting if it were to happen. I think Glen Powell would be an interesting choice if we were going to throwback to a Jack Lord type for Felix, my choice …

For all intents and purposes, Craig basically was the millennial Bond. As far as a Sylvia Trench kind of character, I believe Babs said it baits with “When in doubt, go back to Fleming.” In the books his thing was “cold dispassionate sex with marrie…

I find the comparisons to most big budget action franchises moot at this point. It’s ironic that the trend started with a Martin Campbell film, but the filmmakers have positioned Bond in the auteur blockbuster realm (The Dark Knight, Dune, Blade Run…

I’m not feeling much for any of the generic action jourenryman types and I hope that’s not where Barbara Broccoli’s head is at for launching the next iteration. The only action-heavy director I’d be excited about at this point would be Gareth Evans,…

I think Luke Evans very much has the look for it, particularly in a post-Craig world. He was my front runner at one point but I agree he’s aged out. Another I’d probably put in the “aged out” category is soon Toby Kebbell. A left field choice perhap…
-
It’s all still speculation, but if that does happen to align with the producers thinking then my money would be on Sope Dirisu and Paapa Esseidu, and my preference would be the former.
-
I’d love for Bond to visit Japan again and reintroduce Tiger Tanaka.
-
One thing I think could be interesting would be to introduce the character of Marc-Ange Draco as a bit of an unlikely ally to Bond and a trusted contact within the crime world, perhaps maybe an official MI6 asset (think a more morally ambiguous Math…

That’s precisely what NTTD was, imo. I’d like to see an early-career Bond, though not necessarily an origin story or “rookie” 00. My ideal reboot would have him in his early/mid 30’s, the events of Casino Royale have taken place offscreen in his mid…

I don't have an issue with longer runtimes, but I do feel that nearly every Bond film has pacing issues, and I don't just mean the recent and/or long ones. Some of it is editing but I've found that the past few Bond films have a bit of a template th…
