  • A film with a good balance of all elements would be great to start the next era. Maybe something in the direction of TLD would be great. It has a solid plot and some suspense and drama, but also decent humor and gadgets.
  • To be honest, hearing this news we maybe even have to wait until 2027 for a new Bond movie. :(

  • They could make "007 in New York", a period piece special directed by Wes Anderson for Amazon. Of course there will be a special chapter where Bond presents his recipe for Scrambled Eggs.

  • Personally I don't like the idea of making a Bond movie set in the 50's. At least it should be something like a "spin off" / special and not a part of the main film series. Maybe as a mini series similar to "The Continental"?
  • I think my favorite seasons are seasons 1 and 4. Season 1 has a great atmosphere with great soundtracks by Billy Goldenberg and Gil Mellé. Unfortunately, season 2 was, in my opinion, pretty weak (with one or two expectations). Thankfully, the series…

  • Does anyone have seen "The Man Who Wouldn't Die" (1994) with Roger Moore? I haven't seen the movie in years (maybe I will watch it again soon), but I remember it's a nice little TV movie with solid performances from Moore, Nancy Allen and Malcolm Mc…

  • These rumors are pretty underwhelming for me, if they are true. I doubt I would look forward to a Nolan or Villeneuve directed Bond movie. And I don't think Paul Greengrass' directing style would fit the Bond series. I don't want to see a "James Bou…

  • Not excited with the names of Villeneuve and Nolan. Sure, they both have made some good or even great films but I don't want another era with dark, depressing and slow Bond films. ☹️ But if the producers have met with Villeneuve this year, they obv…

  • To be honest, I'm kinda worried with the Nolan rumors. For one, I'm not really a fan of his movies (with a few exceptions). Also, and this worries me even more, his style is too close to what we already have seen during the Craig era. Sometimes I t…

  • I think with the first film of the next actor they should try to find a good balance: Not too gritty (although a great movie, I certainly don't need a CR 2.0 at this point), but not something on the scale of TSWLM either (even though it's my favorit…
