  • I remember when everyone thought the 4 year wait between TDK and Rises was too long.
  • Wasn't it already pushed back a year from 2025?
  • I just mean that as long as EON keep busy producing things for MGM to distribute, can Amazon really take any legal action? It's not like there's a specific clause that says a new Bond movie has to go into production every few years. It just seems…
  • Can Amazon really sue EON for downing tools and not getting to work on Bond 26 when EON have helped produce 007: Road to a million and the upcoming CCBB remake? EON are making things for Amazon just not the things they would want to see most of all,…

  • Gregg Wilson said it best when they stated plainly that there is no Bond film actively in development, and I remember at the time a lot of people saying that was just industry misdirection and there was more happening behind the scenes, well it seem…

  • How Crazy would it be if 33 years after Dr No, after a long gap due to a dispute between EON and MGM we got Goldeneye, and then 33 years later after a similar dispute we get the next era beginning in 2028. Its almost perfectly symmetrical, with Bros…

  • The power is still in the right hands, for now at least. Babs has full creative control, and short of talking EON to court (which would be a bad look coming after the strikes) Amazon can't "force" her to do anything. Honestly it's not something we n…
  • It just so happens that "letting other people have a go" in this instance means subjecting Bond to the same process of contentification that STAR WARS and Marvel went through once Disney got their mitts of them. Barbara, for all her flaws, is doing …
  • echo wrote: » With Nolan, it is about control. His producer is his wife. She is in the "Barbara role" on Nolan's films. So there's already a conflict before a word is written. Nolan'll never happen. With Amazon or whoever would buy the ri…

  • I thought Villeneuve would be out of the picture for Bond 26, but now it's pretty much confirmed we aren't getting the film for a while it's possible he could finish up Dune: Messiah and then get straight to work on Bond in time for 2028. It's rumou…

  • Yeah, its sad. I just hope we're all on the same page now. We aren't getting a new Bond film in 2027.
  • delfloria wrote: » Like I said..............they are in no rush. I wonder if Amazon would consider selling off their percentage to another studio? Yeah, and that's why EON are making the CCBB remake first, because they see it as way less ri…
  • 007HallY wrote: » Well, it's tricky departing completely from what we got with NTTD because it has such swings in terms of tone and is so far away from how the Craig era began. Even if they went all in with something more fantastical, breezy, and …
  • You nailed it. Whatever someone takes away from the trailer, no one can deny its a massive departure from what Cavills Superman films were tonally. Just like Batman Begins was a massive shift after B&R and Casino Royale was a huge shake up after…
  • In 2005 Batman Begins was an exploration of Fear, and was the precursor to a darker Bond. In 2025 Superman appears to be a treatise on hope and optimism, could it similarly be the harbinger of where Bond will find itself in a few years?
  • I know it's only a few seconds, but does the way those people are filmed looking confused, does it look kinda lazy and almost televisual? I'm not getting a sense of grandeur. We'll see tomorrow...
  • Like I say it's not something I think has a high chance of actually happening. It's just if EON aren't sure what creative direction to go, then doing a standalone one-film arc, without any presumptions of making follow ups does have its advantage…
  • Just had a thought. Unless I missed something we still don't know what Tarantinos final film will be. What about a 60's style one off Bond film, an adaptation of moonraker with Micheal Fassbender as Bond? Yeah, setting the film in the 60's wou…

  • I'm not saying that Bond can't be young, but he should have some seniority and experience to his manner and appearance. None of these young guys look distinguished enough to play bond. They look like someone dressing up like the character for a hall…
  • Scaramanga1974 wrote: » Prioritising CCBB, a pointless remake of a classic, over Bond 26? What is Babs thinking? It's because EON still doesn't know what they want to do with Bond or aren't ready to start making moves yet. In their rational…
