  • It certainly seems like a missed opportunity. Would be nice to see that kind of release in the waiting period for Bond 26. Maybe they will tie in 4K releases or a special edition of NTTD with the upcoming Amazon series.

  • https://twitter.com/joshuahorowitz/status/1681990521181331457 It seems like Christopher Nolan is going to be asked about Bond often on the coming weeks. He seems a bit reluctant in this interview, could be me just projecting my feelings that he…
  • Has anyone listened to SpyHards Podcasts most recent episode? It features an early treatment for Moonraker which is much closer to the book. Sadly EON have apparently seen it and passed but the Nuclear disarmament is an interesting plot and the Engl…
  • I would be interested in Collectors editions for all the Craig films that include the additional scenes. Perhaps with Amazons financial stability they can do a re-release as we wait for Bond 26.
  • I would like it if they released a new copy of No Time To Die with all the deleted material they shot, like the Cuba Chase through the port, the extended chase in the Norwegian Forest and the additional scenes with Safin to finish off the 60th celeb…
  • Why would it have taken a 180 so early? Seems like very little was decided to begin with.
  • I would live to see Nolans Bond. I think the practical effects and villain would be amoung some of the best in the series history. Having said this @peter made a good point in that if they want something started before a potential writers strike the…

  • My guess is EON knows what Nolans idea is at this point and either are making or have made a decision based on that story. Time will tell but would love to see what Nolan and Eon could do together in terms of partical stunts/set pieces as this is s…
  • Could this lead them to look at a Director that also has a history of writing their own films?
  • I could not find the title song artist suggestion discussion so thought I would put it here. I know many are looking for a harder, rock based theme what about Sam Fender. Has a Springsteen sound and can incorperate a more fully produced song than ma…
  • https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1631067062708711431 Anyone think Taron actually knows something? Could suggest that Barbara was bluffing with her most recent comments on Bond 26.

  • I think that Mason Bates would be an out of the box choice. His symphonic work Mothership really reminds me of the 60s sound mixed with elements of new Bond scores. I also appreciate that his work can create visions and conjure up a mood without kno…

  • With the recent Guardian article about Flemings Screenplay for Moonraker being back in the public eye, it has renewed my desire for a faithful adaptation. My feeling is that if Amazon wants to get a new film out quick why not start with that origina…
  • I think it depends on if your preference is a good Bond film vs a good Bond in a film. Connery in Thunderball is incredible but the movie lets me down. Whereas Connery in You Only Live Twice is lackluster but the film is a huge spectacle. I really l…
