I wonder how much EON are actively working on Bond 26 right now, or if not what they are waiting on. Is it still the difficulties between EON and Amazon being worked out? Internal shake ups happening inside EON? Waiting for the industry to settle af…

When you see the villains pull up along side bond, and roger gives the smile, that's just rog being rog. When Peirce skips across the road in hamburg in TND that's Peirce being Peirce, it's effortless. When Dalton says "I got the message" with that …

I see what you chaps are saying. What I mean is that bond actors tend to truly make the role their own when they stop playing a role, and just portray a version of themselves onscreen. I will say that as much as I dislike Bond 25, I did think when C…

The main selling point for Turner isn't his looks, although that doesn't hurt matters. If they are looking for a genuine change of course after Craig, someone as laid back and jovial as Turner seems like a strong place to start. I've never seen an i…

I remember probably 5 or more years ago when someone asked him he said "you won't get any Bond talk out of me!" with a cheeky smile. He obviously knows how the game is played, whether he's under consideration or not. Maybe "probably not" means he…

Oh my god, the man looks better the older he gets. If he doesn't get a screen test EON have officially lost the plot.

Inspite of all the delays and negativity around bond lately, whenever I'm reminded of the fact that in the near future we're going to have a new actor announced in the role I'm instantly filled with excitement. There aren't many things that can matc…

If the project 007 videogame lives up to the hype EON will have at least some interest from the younger demographic. The problem is they don't seem to target that group much anymore, except when it comes to the title song artist.

We are not in 1968 again. Gen Z doesn't care about Bond on anywhere near the same level as boomer kids in the 60's, or even Gen X kids in the 90's did. He is not a cultural icon to people under 25, he's a few degrees more relevant than indiana jones…
