In response to the new headline: "What if Bond is modernized from a straight white male in the next film adventure?"... it would be the death knell for the entire franchise is my reaction. I certainly hope what's being reported coming out of Gregg W…

Sorry, I've been away for a short while and missed some of the Bond chatter. Am I right in assuming that people are now in acceptance that Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the genuine front-runner for 007 after Matthew Belloni of Puck (formerly the editor of…

Well... David Mouriquand, a journalist and film critic, who now writes for the Euronews, claims that: This news was given more credence by mysterious celebrity gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi (who have a knack for breaking celeb news). Now, …

Another excellent post by @Univex. I too had a soft spot for Aidan Turner as Bond but it appears the producers are looking to cast someone much younger this time round. Logistically, it makes sense as they'll get a few more years from the actor play…

A very enjoyable read @Univex, and I heartily agree with your own sentiments. For the sake of brevity and my own sanity, I decided to sit out any controversial takes on the direction of the franchise. Ultimately, it will be what it will be. Wheth…

Interesting @peter. So, in your opinion, where do you think EON are right now? Have you heard anything with your ear to the ground?

Having taken a brief hiatus I thought I'd rejoin the conversation on Aaron Taylor Johnson's rumoured screen-test. Do I believe it? As a matter of fact, I do believe it. I think this gives us a much clearer insight as to the type of actor EON are goi…

Some of the suggestions here have given me a good chuckle. :)) Most likely, the Bond producers have already chosen their man—they are just keeping him underwraps until the appropriate time. My money is probably on Regé-Jean Page. Not because I th…

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service: Filming the Thrills, Chills and Spills of 007. Here is a little something for all Lazenby and OHMSS fans out there from American Cinematographer magazine. Here is an on-line reprint of its coverage of OHMSS ta…

Here's Sean Connery probably making his very first American TV appearance in 1957 on The Jack Benny Program. He's playing an Italian luggage porter with that unmistakable Scottish brogue. It's a real blink and you miss it role, but it's interersting…

It's been a long while since I read any of the original books, but I used to feel that Dr No, FRWL and OHMSS best captured the literary Bond on film. Of course, there are going to be omissions from the printed page to the big screen due to the Briti…

It's looking like good news for fans of Villeneuve's Dune. We should get Dune 2 even if the BO isn't particularly stellar or falls greatly short of its $30M-$35M domestic projection. WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Chair and CEO Ann Sarnoff told…
