  • EON has tweeted the teaser poster for Shatterhand!: :P

  • Some thoughts... The obvious homage to Goldeneye - Bond vs French cyclists. The virtual reality scenes look amusing. I think the studio released the trailers in the wrong order! The second trailer is much shorter than the first. It's 1 min …
  • I really don't know why we're having this endless debate about who should replace Daniel Craig as James Bond. It's obvious. It's Johnny 'too cool for school' English!!!!!!!! Sign him up. And Bough too. He can play Moneypenny!
  • ggl007 wrote: » This: http://www.007.info/bond-25-still-on-track/ Thanks for the link. I find it hard to believe Boyle would quit because Eon said no to his casting suggestion for the villain. If he got in a huff and said "if you don't c…

  • Given the positive critical and fan reaction (and the fact Cruise does the stunts), tad surprised the film has grossed less than Rogue Nation. It's possible Cruise's age is a factor with the younger demographic. It's hard for kids and 20 somethin…

  • Not on this forum.. but someone is claiming Bond dying in Bond 25 would lead to Eon selling their stake in the franchise. It's some big exit plan. Hmm...
  • “It would also leave it open for a twist in the next instalment — either Bond hadn’t died or there could be a Doctor Who-esque regeneration with a new actor. Bond regenerates into a new younger Bond? Moneypenny: "James, what happened to …
  • Just provoking debate (don't take it too seriously) but the rumours are... Craig didn't get on with Martin Campbell! Craig didn't get on with Sam Mendes! It looks like Craig didn't get on with Danny Boyle. Boyle must have thought "seven months …
  • I'd prefer an action director over a drama director. Heck, why not hire one of the second unit directors from one of the last four Craig Bond films? The second unit directors understand 'action'. John Glen went from second unit to director. He had t…
  • It's possible this 'Boyle quits' affair has damaged Eon Productions. What I mean is, there could be director/screenwriters that may be less interested in working for Eon because they'll think their ideas will be rejected. Chris and Jonathan Nolan ma…
  • We don't need a new director- we need a new James Bond. All the new director is gonna do is watch SPECTRE and copy that style. This is why Danny 'Corbyn' Boyle was dumped. He wanted to make his own version of James Bond and Babs said "no, how dare y…
  • According to a claim from someone working at Pinewood studios (this seems legit but it's the internet so caution needed!)... The text in black is very revealing/interesting/shocking! Gareth Owen, on the James Bond Radio Podcast (and it should…
  • Regarding Tom Hardy - he played a CIA spy in 'This Means War': It's hard to say if he's giving any real Bond vibe in that trailer. Bond is Bond, other spy roles are other spy roles! If cast I'm guessing he'd be closer to a Craig type Bond.
  • An extra delay and a new screenplay might tempt Christoph Waltz back. Perhaps the obvious way to do Bond 25 is have Blofeld escape prison and exact revenge on Bond and MI6. SPECTRE part 2 might be the simplest way to conclude Craig's time as Bond. M…
  • There appears to be some confusion about Hodge's screenplay? Earlier reports from this year suggested Hodge was writing a new screenplay; this is why Boyle wanted to make the film - Hodge and Boyle had this good/great idea - however, recent claims s…
  • Martin Campbell would be the logical choice but he's a bit old now, would he have the stamina for a seven months shoot, and word is he and Craig didn't hit it off filming Casino Royale. If Campbell is available, fit enough, and he can get on with Cr…
  • As mentioned before - (some!) fans have suggested: 1) Henry Cavill doesn't have the swagger/charisma/lightness of touch to convince as a potential Bond. The words "stiff/block of wood/can't act" tend to pop up when discussing Cavill. Guy Ritchie …
  • Going back to James Bond… Are you excited to see where the character is going to go next? Absolutely. I’ve always been a huge Bond fan, that’s why I wanted to do Quantum of Solace. At the time we had a writer’s strike and we had a bit of an issue…
  • Peter wrote: Craig will not be going anywhere. If you think Babs loves him, part of Universal's one pic deal is BANKING on Craig as 007. If they wanted a re-cast that would have been in this deal. And, for all the Craig-haters out there, don't be…
  • Latest news/rumour! “Nobody is talking, but I’ve heard an approach was made to Jean-Marc Vallee, who followed Dallas Buyers Club with the limited series Big Little Lies and Sharp Objects . I’ve heard his participation is unlikely due to scheduli…
  • Donald Trump will sort it out. He will make Bond great again.* *Copyright Trump Organization - Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States. :P
  • However one industry source told the Telegraph the split was due to a fall out over whether to cast Tomasz Kot as the lead villain. The 41-year-old Polish actor stars in Cold War, a love story set in 1950s Europe, and was described as a "left-field"…
  • If THR article is accurate I'm guessing Craig won't come back. Five years is more than enough time for the audience to expect or want a new face as Bond. Also, winter 2020 would seem less risky or potentially more profitable than spring 2020. As…

  • I don't think this is a complete disaster. If Bond 25 begins filming in December, that's over three months to hire director, redo screenplay, lock all the production elements into place. Is that so hard to do? If the new director is agreeable and sa…
