  • OMG, what will everyone do if EON actually tries something actually new with Bond leaving the Craig, Connery, Moore, Lazenby, Brosnan and Dalton fans out in the cold?
  • Daniel considers his films a separate timeline or whatever you want to call it from the rest of the series. His tales of Bond start with him acquiring his 00 number and ends with his death. They figure that the next iteration of Bond will be another…
  • Cinematic but filled totally absurd sequences. One of the most obvious is: Why does Bond continue with his Japanese cover after a Spectre assassin tries to kill him which means Blofeld knows all about the plan. If not even going to mention the idea …

  • The eccentric villain man and wife teams on "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." like Emory Partridge and his wife Edith were highlights of the series. These kind of pairings work quite well. Also, I forgot to mention the battle inside the Liparus tanker in TS…
  • I think what has been missing from the films in the Craig era is Spectacle, with a capital S. We have not seen incredible set pieces in locations like Atlantis, The YOLT Volcano, Drax's space station or Caviar Factories in long time. They almost did…
  • How about MI6 does not go in for gadgets at all the next time around and Bond has an independent ex Q branch associate who makes him custom gadgets.
  • AI Q with a completely robotic staff will do the trick.
  • If things are truly so bad between EON and Amazon, why is Amazon doing CCBB with them?
  • BB/Eon does not HAVE to make any more Bond films, they already got their Thalberg Award, and can continue to scratch their creative muscles with films like Othello, CCB, or other Bond related projects like Road To Millions and the Bond Video Game. A…
  • Like I said..............they are in no rush. I wonder if Amazon would consider selling off their percentage to another studio?
  • Ah ok. Perhaps I should have said new Bond. To clarify I don’t think a new Bond trailer will do a ‘expecting someone else?’ type thing. It’ll be more like the first CR teaser where Craig’s harder edge and physicality were emphasised to show us his t…

  • If the next Bond trailer could capture the feeling of the new Superman teaser I would be happy camper. The main thing is that is NOT an origin story.

  • Bond will be released before this. [/quote] Don't be so sure. Eon and Amazon are in no rush.
  • Will the Craig era pick up twenty-five later with Bond's daughter becoming an MI6 agent?[/quote] I know you are joking but rest assured that won't happen.
  • Well, the Governors Ball is half way done and Daniel Craig was the presenter for the Thalberg award. He mentioned that the new Bond might be in the room but then again.....maybe not. Barbara and Michael accepted their awards and gave their speeches.…
  • Because Bond has a tendency to follow trends, I'm glad that a film based on the early Connery films will play well in the States. Time to get back to a self assured in control alpha male who can save the world, fix anything and do whatever he please…

  • Part of the blame for the long gestation period this time around is that the entire industry has changed. Some fellow crew members and myself were talking recently about how we used to get an assignment, agree on what had to be created and then.....…
  • The general audience is not chomping at the bit for the next Bond film. When it shows up they will say "Hey, look it's a new Bond film playing this week, cool", buy their tickets and have a good time. The old Bond fans will be there right beside the…
