  • Just watched Margot at the Wedding and found myself mesmerized by Ciarán Hinds—he has that ineffable quality that could have made him a great James Bond. It got me wondering if he was ever considered for the role back in the ’90s. He had the gravita…
  • Jeff Sneider has reported the following: It’s likely no coincidence that this week, I heard that Aaron Taylor-Johnson was out of the running for James Bond. I’m now confident that the role will end up going elsewhere. It’s not just that audiences…
  • The recent Wall Street Journal article about the tensions between Eon Productions and Amazon MGM Studios is undeniably alarming. It raises questions about who might have been briefing the WSJ, as the piece paints Barbara Broccoli as somewhat closed-…
  • For me, it's really between Jacob Elordi and Harris Dickinson
  • I asked ChatGPT for a reboot and it came up with this. Personally, I like it..... Pitch: James Bond: Bloodline This origin story reimagines the young James Bond as a skilled but impulsive officer in the Royal Navy. On a covert mission to stop …
  • Jacob Elordi’s recent casting as Heathcliff is causing quite a stir on social media, and I can understand why. However, at the same time he seems like an ideal choice for a brooding, angst-ridden, Byronic hero—a role previously taken on by the likes…
  • I've mentioned his name before, though he has been getting considerable buzz since Rebel Ridge debuted on Netflix. Therefore, I think now is a good time to remind people that the answer to this thread's question, 'Where does Bond go after Craig?', i…
  • Put Kim Yeji in a Bond film https://x.com/Rainmaker1973/status/1818240420368757062
  • It looks like Cary Fukunaga has a new film underway and it sounds fantastic. That is a seriously good cast. I have yet to see his episodes of Masters of the Air on Apply TV+ though, I plan to binge that series soon. https://x.com/DEADLINE/status/…

  • I just watched HE WENT THAT WAY, terrific performance from Jacob Elordi. Not only does he look like a movie star, but he was seriously great. Highly recommend and it's only 90 minutes. He was also asked about Bond whilst promoting Saltb…
  • I still think the franchise needs to go younger, going to throw my hat in the ring for Harris Dickinson again.
  • Someone I like is David Michôd, the Aussie filmmaker behind flicks like "Animal Kingdom" and "The Rover". He is teaming up with Sydney Sweeney for a new biopic on Christy Martin. He has a style and mood that is very evocative of the vibe conjured by…

  • I wholeheartedly share Zack Snyder's sentiments on the idea of a younger James Bond, expressing that it would be intriguing to witness the character at a formative age. Snyder's notion of exploring the humble roots and youthful traumas that shape Bo…
  • https://savilleproductions.com/directors/feature-film-directors/martin-campbell/ I don't know how I missed this, but Campbell recently directed an advertisement for Louis Vuitton featuring Lea Seydoux. Despite this somewhat surprising venture…
  • Yet another Brosnan blitz.... The Netflix algorithm clearly knows that I’ve been watching too many Pierce Brosnan films, so it’s no surprise I got a notification that The Out-Laws had arrived. This is amiable stuff, being both rather watchable an…
  • I wanted to share a thought I've been mulling over lately – what if Emerald Fennell took the reins for the next James Bond film? Hear me out. You might recall Fennell from "Promising Young Woman," a film that not only earned her an Oscar for scre…
  • https://twitter.com/JamesBondAUS/status/1734170902143885449 Paul Mescal is looking ripped these days. He's definitely had a Hollywood glow-up. I saw Aftersun and was so impressed with Paul Mescal. That film is perfectly served by Mescal’s signa…

  • I rewatched For Your Eyes Only the other day before it left Prime....The film offers breathtaking set pieces and cool Bond moments, yet stumbles in the storytelling department. The film lacks the allure and glamour characteristic of top-tier Bond mo…
  • For me, the prospect of Jacob Elordi donning the iconic mantle of James Bond emerges is a tantalising proposition. Elordi's youthfulness injects a vibrant energy into the character, a vital infusion that the venerable franchise could benefit from. H…
  • I watched Oppenheimer....Nolan's filmmaking carries a formal elegance that feels traditional, but he stays true to his style by splicing up the timeline. The result is a film less baffling than Tenet but at times, it can feel cluttered. The first ho…
  • I was eagerly anticipating Dead Reckoning, and I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of disappointment after watching the film. The plot was an absolute mess, convoluted beyond comprehension, and it didn't do itself any favors with an exces…

  • I recently saw Park Chan Wook's Lady Vengeance and couldn't help but notice how similar the title sequences were to Danny Kleinman's work in No Time to Die. The rose and vine imagery, in particular, stood out to me. I wonder if Kleinman has been ask…
  • https://twitter.com/heyellybelly/status/1635697422234943492 I saw this video doing the rounds on Twitter. I completely understand why some are against the idea of an American actor taking on the role of James Bond. However, Austin Butler has…
  • I wonder if EON will go down the route of hiring an A-list director (Sam Mendes and Danny Boyle) or a promising newcomer (Cary Fukunaga and Yann Demange). If they go for the latter, there are three interesting names who I like: Romain Gavras woul…
