I'd love Oasis to be chosen for the next Bond title. The biggest comeback rock band story of all time, record breaking sell-out tours, and then doing the next Bond song. What a story that would be.

Just watched Wolfs with Pitt and Clooney. Very entertaining action comedy thriller, in the Newman Redford style. There's even a nod to Butch and Sundance in the film. Proves Hollywood can make decent films occasionally, shame this only went strai…

Theo James is my number one choice right now for Bond. No, he isn't black, he's white, but he also doesn't have blue eyes either, to resemble Fleming's description. I just think he has enough charisma, swagger, looks and toughness to play the par…

The race argument is so boring and tired. My preference is they pick an actor that closely resembles the source material. If they choose to ignore this and take Bond into a different direction by changing his race, then the producers are no longer m…

Just imagine, a Chris Nolan directed Bond film, based on 100% adapted Fleming material (unused stuff from the books), music by David Arnold, working with reformed band Oasis on the title song. Damn, I just woke up!

Peninsula, all day long. Then again, Hong Kong is my all time favourite city, so it was always going to win.

The bookies have suspended betting on who is the next Bond, as they claim he's already been chosen. Read into that what you will.... https://metro.co.uk/2024/08/16/james-bond-betting-suspended-bookies-speculate-new-007-found-21438099/?ito=faceboo…

Not overly keen on the images used on the new covers, but I do quite like the font used, which is reminiscent of the Raymond Hawkey 60's Pan covers, which to me are still the definitive Bond book covers. No other cover design comes close to those…

The next Bond film should be a soft reboot, in the mould of TLD and GE, which also launched new actors as 007, without doing anything too drastic. No backstory, no rookie agent. Just Bond going back to basics, off to M's office to get briefed, fl…
