Well, from what I understand The Sun's article wasn't a genuine scoop/prediction more than it was just going with the flow of the day. The article was released in April and Craig was announced in October, and I think he officially signed on closer t…

To be honest, it kinda makes sense that Nolan would do something like that. We obviously don't have much context (an adaptation of The Odyssey can be a modern day one, or it can be a more period accurate one). To be honest I'm not sure it's making m…

I'd say OHiMSS is one of those strange little Bond oddities that you get from time to time, especially in literary Bond. It reminds me a bit of Gardner's Bond visiting Disney Land, or Benson's Bond visiting the Playboy Mansion in the 90s - a strange…

October/November releases are generally pretty perfect for Bond. I know some people would like to see a Summer release but it can be a bit risky, and under the wrong circumstances a Bond film can underperform if put against certain releases at the s…

Agreed about Bond’s age in CR. If anything making Bond younger (even 28) would have probably required a bit more explanation and may have impacted the writing. As it is Craig was about the age we typically associate Bond as being, and the character …

The only reference I have to American Libertarians is watching a bit of the 2016 Presidential debates (where candidates were asked, among many questions, whether people should need licences to operate a car. Most said no as it was an infringement on…

Straight? Yes, I think Bond should always be pretty unambiguously and exclusively heterosexual in terms of how he's portrayed in the films (Don't care about the actor personally, but this is how they should be portrayed onscreen). White? No, I do…

Well, for now it doesn’t seem like there’s going to be such an easy solution for EON along those lines. They seem to know that too. It is what it is. Short of something dramatic happening both parties are going to have to find some common ground …

People on these forums have said that too more or less. That or Bond is an 'anti-hero'. I suspect from the producer's point of view it's naive and could come off as a bit flippant even if it was said in a more forgiving context. Bond fundamentall…

With the recent article about the tensions between EON and Amazon, one thing that actually struck me was, to some extent, how resistant the producers themselves are to major fundamental changes with the character/franchise. And yet at the same time …

I’d be interested in seeing what reactions are outside these forums. To me it really makes Amazon look a bit ridiculous in places. But I’m sure there are people who may want Moneypenny spin offs or tv shows about a female 007… I’m not sure that’s fo…

I suppose this news reframes things slightly, or at least might do for some. Instead of EON being lazy and/or cautious it’s a behind the scenes problem. And to be fair I can imagine it being pretty much the truth. Obviously the article is only on…
