  • We live in a strange time. The internet empowers us and yet it kind of restricts us. One group advocate a black actor: "it's time for change" - they are the voice of progressive change, and the other group says "no way, Bond is white. I'm not racist…

  • I don't think Elba has "it." He certainly didn't have it in The Dark Tower. The film has a RT score of 16 percent and tanked. I think people may confuse tv screen presence with film screen presence. Having said that, if Elba (or Cavill) did a great…
  • The Hollywood Reporter has run an item dismissing the latest Idris Elba story. Apparently it's a total fabrication: Fuqua was said to have mentioned Idris Elba in conversation. "You need a guy with physically strong presence. Idris has that," wa…

  • Campbell would be an interesting choice. Directing a third Bond actor? That would get Campbell interested in returning! However Bond 26 should be the start of a new post-Craig Bond era and hiring Campbell would seem like stepping back into the past,…
  • Due to the James Gunn Disney affair (if you're not heard about it Google it for all the gruesome details!), it looks like David Bautista's future with Disney is in doubt. The guy has basically told the studio they can "rude word off!" Given his pote…
  • Surprised to discover Simon Pegg suffered major depression and alcoholism. During an interview to promote Fallout, Pegg said he was at his lowest point making Mission Impossible 3 and the following years. He's managed to recover. “I’m not ashame…
  • Modern era Bond wouldn't need to check for bugs. He'll have some spy app on his phone. It would send out an infra red beam and scan the room. The phone would also send and receive calls too! :P

  • If some Bond fans believe MI franchise has overtaken Bond, Bond 26 is the ideal time to change things. I think Craig is entitled to have his final film and keep with the current style. I'll be very surprised if Danny Boyle gives us a non-Craig type …
  • SPECTRE does feature (arguably) the coolest helicopter scene ever seen in film history. Bond fighting a guy inside a helicopter that does a 360 degree roll. You can't get more 'awesome' than that. I suppose the issue with SPECTRE is starting the fi…

  • Getafix wrote: "The EON Brosnan era films were all fundamentally sh*t though which I suppose let’s him off on some level." Die Another Day is an undeniable masterpiece! What do you reckon, Jinx?
  • I think the Craig Bonds have some good action - the parkour scene is a modern classic? I liked the boat chase and the airplane and parachute drop into the cave in QOS. QOS has crazy action - those shaky cam fast cuts are insane. If you like fast …

  • On the subject of Cruise and stunts - if the rumour is true and Bond 25 is going to have some of the story set in London, perhaps it's time for a stunt involving The London Eye Ferris wheel? I suggest this for two reasons: 1) It could look very c…

  • I was watching Ch 5's reality show Celebrity 5 Go Caravanning and the celebs were in Cornwall. Disc jokey Tony Blackburn did a long zipwire jump and I thought the location could be worth using in a James Bond film. Adrenalin Quarry: Bond i…
  • Another online article about MI franchise now better than Bond: https://screenrant.com/mission-impossible-better-james-bond/ Daniel Craig will soon reprise his role in Bond 25 in the franchise, to be directed by Slumdog Millionaire’s Danny Bo…

  • (for that gif alone i would give him the job) ;)
  • It was mentioned on Radio 5 Live's review that the rumour is this is the final MI film. It's just a rumour, but my guess is if there are more MI films the studio will stop Cruise doing too many dangerous stunts. Fallout had to shut down for several …
  • I think Henry must be loving this thread. Apparently he looks at Superhero forums and Superman threads (!) - well, he said he did in an interview - so who knows, he might pop in here and have a look. Henry, if you're reading this... er.. some people…
  • He'll be in shape for Bond 25. The guy is a professional actor, I can't imagine he'll pork out prior to filming!
  • Boldfinger mentioned how he was disappointed with the action scenes. This review goes the other extreme! Please watch the first two minutes: Their reaction is a bit OTT but they really liked it. I'm guessing Boldfinger's reaction will be in t…
