  • I feel Suter's appeal, being rather unknown, could also work against him and I don't know if a BritBox series is gonna help him in that regard.
  • If you ask me, these concerns have already been addressed. EON, whether from their own decisions or not, have setup the board to allow for fresh blood. It was the right time for Daniel Craig to end his run and move towards a new era. That's what …

  • To be honest I think my view of him has unfortunately been tarnished by years of discussing him. Like Cavill and Elba, he kept coming up and by this point, he just doesn’t excite me. Not his fault, but it’s something I can’t help but feel and that m…
  • I think Raye, whose extremely versatile, or someone like Sam Fender would be incredible.

  • And again, Bond 26's success doesn't depend on him. There's so many directors out there who could do something interesting, and if anything, I'd be more intrigued by the mystery of that. We've seen Nolan, twice now with Inception and Tenet, produce …
  • This is another reason why I think EON need to, and should, keep James Bond, because I feel in other hands, the franchise would become another "victim" to the current state of franchise filmmaking.

  • Bad Sisters is another gem on Apple TV+
  • I think Jarin Blaschke is worth mentioning. If you don't already know, he's the cinematographer most known for working with Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, and the upcoming Nosferatu).

  • Love Slow Horses. I really enjoyed this latest season, and thought the finale was brilliant.

  • I do think it's possible, and this isn't anyone particular, to rely on that formula too much. I understand that EON will want to see what these actors can do so they can devise who they want in the room, but the difference is they'll get to be in th…

  • It's also worth noting that pre-production on Casino Royale began with them having a James Bond actor in negotiations to return, with Neal Purvis and Robert Wade even writing a draft for Pierce Brosnan, until they decided it would be better for the …
  • I mean personally I can understand wanting to see Nolan direct a James Bond, but I don't really understand why that not being that case would be so negative as to plummet your interest? Bond 26's success doesn't depend on him? There's so many direct…

  • Well, in my opinion, the answer is simple. There needs to be a fine line, with everything that some here feel will be lost and whether he should be a role model. More specifically, I don’t think people are saying he needs to treat all women with …
