  • I never really liked his movies but for some strange reason I enjoyed Guy Ritchies two or three latest movies. The Covenant is getting great reviews too. I didn't liked his directing style for his earlier movies and could've never imagined him for …
  • I think Andrew Scott is a good actor. He was good in his episode in "Black Mirror" and awesome in "Sherlock". I think the problem in SP was mostly the script, not his performance. I wish he could have been cast as the main bad guy in a Bond movie w…

  • Charlie Higson about NTTD and the emotional portrayal of Bond: “I think that was wrong. I went to see No Time to Die with my oldest boy, Frank, who is 30, and he said, ‘That felt like a Bond film made by people who are embarrassed to make a Bond…
  • Watched the new Dungeons & Dragons movie in the cinema last week. Although I don't now anything about the game it's based on, I had a lot of fun - to be honest, more than with most Bond movies during the last decade. The film was entertaining, s…

  • I disagree, we don't need so much darkness again. I'm not against some drama if they don't go overboard with it like in the Craig era, but it needs some humour and charm too, which I mostly missed during the Craig era (except some scenes in the firs…
  • Madden certainly wouldn't be a bad choice.

  • I'm really worried about what Barbara Broccoli told to LADbible (https://www.ladbible.com/entertainment/james-bond-producer-007-casting-000129-20230219): Broccoli has previously noted how Craig had 'cracked Bond open emotionally', saying that same…
  • Storywise, I hope they return to more standalone-movies. What I always liked about Bond movies; you could basically choose any movie and watch it with your friends, an explanation about prior events wasn't needed. In the Craig era, only CR and SF …

  • I really hope they will go in a different, lighter direction in the next films, but to be honest, I doubt it will happen. I fear they will try to make the movies even more dark and emotional, especially since this direction was a success during the …
  • Sorry for asking, I may have lost the track in the latest days, but what exactly does actually indicate that the ATJ rumors are more than just the usual rumors?
  • I hope the Nolan rumor is fake, I don't think he would be a good choice, especially if they want to go in a new and maybe lighter direction. I would prefer directors who work both in film and TV, like Mark Mylod or David Mackenzie.
  • talos7 wrote: » I agree on Hoult, why do you think he would not get a screentest? I don't know, maybe he is already a bit too famous for the role? He even has over a million followers on Instagram. Also, besides Hoult, I would like to see …

  • Yes, I almost mentioned GE too. I think TWINE also has both some darker and lighter elements, even though it's probably not as well-balanced.
  • I certainly would like to see some humour and fun returning to Bond. The latest Bond films were mostly too dark for my taste, especially the last one. Of course I don't need a MR or DAD as the next film, but maybe they could make a film in the vein…
  • I haven't seen "The Menu" yet, but maybe Mark Mylod could be an interesting choice?
  • The film "The Menu" with Ralph Fiennes is getting great reviews, including some praise for the performance of Nicholas Hoult. I wouldn't be surprised if the movie, including it's director, gets the attention of the Bond producers. I'm probably in …

  • I'm quite surprised about the lukewarm reception of the announcement of "Beverly Hills Cop 4", while apparently everyone can't wait to see another Indiana Jones movie. If Indy receives another movie, why shouldn't Axel Foley get one, too? Especiall…
  • Looks like I'm the only one who looks forward to it. I've always hoped they will make a 4th movie even though it was unlikely to happen for a long time. It certainly won't be as good as the first two movies, but at least Jerry Bruckheimer now retur…
  • But aren't Cuaron's films mostly dark and grim? His style might have worked with a Daniel Craig Bond, but shouldn't the series try to move in a different direction now? Same with Denis Villeneuve or Christopher Nolan - way too dark and grim.

  • Anders Thomas Jensen Really enjoyed his movie "Riders of Justice" with Mads Mikkelsen.
  • Benjamin Wallfisch Also I would like to see a return of the "007 Theme" - sadly it was never used again since 1979 (MR).
  • I'm currently watching the TNG series for the first time and I'm enjoying it a lot. I have seen some Star Trek movies before but while they were mostly entertaining, I wasn't too impressed either then. It seems it was the right decision to wat…
