  • It just means they are the diplomatic liars they have to be. It’s just how it’s done, unfortunately. And frankly, if I was already a millionaire, with a network of 400m+, I’d say no to THAT billion, yes, I would, for love no less. Because madness…

  • What ever happened to that "secret big project" Villeneuve was talking about directing right after Dune Messiah wraps filming this year? It'd be lovely to get him as the director. And I agree, the safest bet for any sense of continuity is to get …
  • Thing is, there is no script…
  • We don’t even know if his brother shares his love for Bond. Do we?

  • buddyoldchap wrote: » @Benny @Thunderball @Mendes4Lyfe @Univex Well, gents, I am as baffled by the news regarding Amazon/EoN as you are, however we might be in luck. Our pick Aidan Turner has close ties @Amazon studios, so we'll see what happen…

  • Max Baldry? Good voice..
  • Didn’t see this one coming, although I had made comments about fatigue and the Bond producers. I sensed, the minute NTTD ended, that Babs just wouldn’t be into it the same way anymore. Of course there are more shades to all of this. Most of which we…
  • Benny wrote: » That really is a very Bondian, cool pick. Let’s just hope the new boss is as tuned to what Bond should be as the old boss (the who song comes to mind). HEY AMAZON, Here’s a fan fav. Just pick him, will ya? Make many happy.
  • Did his voice get deeper? Is that a Seamaster I see on is wrist? Getting good reviews on Nosferatu. And that clip of Craven on the Russian prison was not bad. Still think he could be good on the role, if he dials down his camp attit…

  • Couldn't agree more, about gravitas, that is. That being said, we're in trouble, aren't we? These youngsters don't seem to have those kinds of chops. Actually, people have been commenting for a while on the death of real movie stars. I mean, char…
  • Yes, I get that. And I have to agree. Although I still think Turner would've been great as Bond. Alas, not to be. Have we talked about this Jonathan Bailey fella? I think he has something. Dunno. Still young at 36. Anyway, just throwing in anothe…
  • Just (painfully) saw Mr. Malcom's list at that historical revisionist channel called Netflix and I must say, with three Bond contenders in its cast - Theo James, Some Dirisu and Oliver Jackson-Cohen, it really shows how none of them is suitable for …
  • SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ wrote: » Better make that two. Also Justin Hurwitz's The Landing track from First Man is pure John Barry. So Chazelle, Sandgren & Hurwitz would be great for Bond 26. Sounds like a good law firm to me ;)

  • I, for one, don't want P&W back in any capacity. But I wouldn't want someone who is ignorant of Fleming's works. I can't believe there's not a single good writer who likes and has read Fleming and could have a good working relationship with Barb…
