Some trivia. Tom Cruise isn't the first Hollywood star to hang from a helicopter! Nope. James Coburn was hanging on the side of a helicopter in the 1976 film Sky Riders: !!!! The ending of Sky Riders is very James Bond in vibe. :) Cobur…

Perhaps it's time for Eon to sell up? There are risks when new people take over but I'm guessing a different studio will have its own writers eager to craft a Bond storyline. I'm guessing Purvis and Wade will be with Eon for many more years so the c…

I wonder if that weird Instagram video won't go down well with Warner Bros? It feels a bit like a piss take? Perhaps Henry knows it's the end so he doesn't care. On the other hand, Pierce2Daniel may be right and Cavill has had a breakdown! Get w…

(Going off-topic for a moment, hope no-one minds) The DC films have struggled compared to Marvel's huge box office successes so who knows, DC may want to reboot Batman and Superman with new actors? Some fans disliked the darker take on Superman. …

If memory serves me, Justice League was intended as two films not one. The idea was scrapped and Justice League was self-contained and underperformed at the box office. My guess is Cavill thought he'd appear in two Justice Leagues and then move on w…

Now that Henry has left Superman I think we can expect endless interviews where he says "I can play the role of James Bond because I'm no longer Superman!" :P We know Henry can't stop talking about Bond. When he wakes up in the morning the fir…

Charlie Higson blackmails Eon and Barbara Broccoli is forced to make... Young Bond! James Bond faces danger and intrigue at school! Bond's bicycle is stolen by the school bully! Bond forgets to do his homework! Bond smokes in the playground! B…

In terms of storylines - I think AI: artificial intelligence is worth exploring. Bond vs robots or advanced computers? I don't mean full-on Terminator territory but if the villain uses robots or advanced AI tech to threaten the world that might g…

That new Variety item reports a lot without actually reporting anything of substance. :P Oh well, guess that's the internet for ya! However, Babs has released a new statement below to clarify things:

Not wishing to make light of recent news in the UK, but a plot involving some nerve agent could be worth considering if there is to be a rewrite. The enemy attacks someone in MI6 with a nerve agent and this leads onto a bigger threat. Would that be…

If these sources are credible - the split was over the screenplay, not casting? That's the impression I'm getting.

Boyle’s abrupt exit from Bond 25 gave Johnson and Bergman an opening to pursue Craig, if he was up for squeezing in a movie before returning to his 007 franchise. When Craig sparked to the script and signed on, a hot package came together, just in t…

Richard Madden gave an interview to the Sunday Times and claimed he was paid "**** all" for appearing in Game of Thrones. He doesn't appear to have much regard for some people in the industry. :P Clearly he'd want to be handsomely paid for his f…

It is a mystery why no American has ever directed a James Bond film. Richard Maibaum - arguably the definitive Bond film screenwriter - was American. If you can hire an American to come up with Bond's dialogue, why can't you hire an American to dire…

Going into cynical mode, I'd posit Richard Madden is merely the flavour of the day. Tom Hiddleston got the 'next Bond' treatment when The Night Manager was broadcast. That was a BBC political thriller and now we have another BBC political thriller a…

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/sep/01/kathleen-turner-millions-paid-to-hollywood-a-listers-immoral Yes, interesting quote by Turner. I tend to agree. A lot of people seem to be pro-Tom Cruise fans on MI6 forum, and he is often quoted…

Said in hindsight, Eon/Craig (if he has power over choosing director/writer) screwed up going with Hodge/Boyle. They're not a natural fit for James Bond films! Heck, you could argue Sam Mendes wasn't a natural fit for Bond but Mendes wasn't too both…

Based on all the information (be it fact or rumour) here's my idea how this has all panned out. After the release of SPECTRE Daniel Craig decides to quit. He's tired of the role. He believes he's taken the character as far as he can. Craig wants …

"Tense situation behind the scenes, finding a director prepared to be ruled over by Mr Craig.” I guess the decision to make him a producer has kind of backfired. I thought he was just the hired actor but now he chooses the director and can fi…

For Your Eyes Only features a stuntman driving a motorbike down a bob sleigh. Not only is that insanely dangerous, if you ride off the side or hit the side you can be killed instantly or suffer horrendous injury, it's comparable to the danger of han…

It's amusing to see some comments comparing Fallout to the last two Bond films. Other people were mentioning that the Bond films should be more like Mission Impossible! ;) I agree about the "team" element in MI. Cruise (Hunt) is the star but h…

Richard Madden looks a bit boy band-ish to me. He does have a youthful face which is an advantage because you can play younger roles, I guess. I thought he was quite good in Bastille Day. Whether or not Madden is Bond material... hard to say.…
