  • IF they decide to make a new James Bond movie I'm sure they will look for a "fresh" and contemporary director (and main actor as well). I'd say: keep the DNA of James Bond, make it a joyful ride and please avoid any nostalgia!

  • To me the worst villain in the whole franchise was Blofeld in SPECTRE. By far.

  • Great post, @Univex! A brilliant spionage narrative turned into a James Bond story would be awesome.

  • I think the title should directly refer to the name James Bond or "007". At least to an Ian Fleming title. A knew actor to play Bond AND a fantasy title that would work for any other spy/action movie as well could be a bit too much outside the James…

  • Would work for me.
  • The last one I listened to was "Somethin' Else" (Rudy van Gelder Edition) by Cannonball Anderley. A wonderful album recorded in 1958.
