It’s a thread titled Best and worst case scenario for the Amazon Bond. Best AND worst. If you want just positive views on the Amazon takeover you probably should avoid this thread. Edit: sorry, didn’t mean to sound hostile or dismissive, just th…

For me it took until Skyfall for Daniel Craig to feel really settled into the role of 007. Part of that was that in both CR and QoS Bond was still very rough around the edges, but I think they kept just enough to make it feel like Bond. I do think t…

It was Amazon MGM Studios’ turn at CinemaCon and with it came not just footage but a number of project announcements – from new titles to release windows and more. First, Studio execs Courtenay Valenti and Sue Kroll confirmed that producers Amy P…

The isolated snow chalet in OHMSS was a very cool location. I think one of the And Then There Were None adaptations used something similar. It’s a great way to put the protagonist in a situation where he can’t count on outside help.

No, but I was on the net (well, I was on dial-up so I wasn’t on it that often!). I think someone on Ain’t it Cool suggested Hoskins at one point, but it wouldn’t have been a popular suggestion.

I think I’d play it relatively safe (if there is such a thing) with the basic Goldfinger model - larger than life mastermind with a monstrous henchman, early encounter to heat up rivalry, faux-friendly match against Bond at some game, M scene, Q sc…

It has become his ‘costume’ to a certain extent, but he can’t wear it all the time. Part of the reason we get the DB5 back so often is because it says James Bond visually in a way that not much else does (the Walther PPK being the other visual acces…

I love Niven, but I’m not sure I could have dealt with a James Bond with a moustache. I do wonder if they ever contemplated giving Connery the thin scar on his face, and the one of his hand. I’d argue that these would have helped to cement a visu…

Yeah, I think we've talked a little about him before. He's good in that and will almost certainly get an audition. I think he doesn't quite have his co-star O'Connell's intensity, but he's more a match physically (imo).

Variety have an article up talking about Jen Salke leaving MGM and her problems with Barbara Broccoli. Here's an excerpt: As Variety recently noted, Broccoli is believed to have told others that she did not feel inspired by working with Salke. Thi…

I’ve just watched The Outfit on BBC iPlayer and feel Mark Rylance would be fantastic as ‘M’.

Would they want to come back for Amazon, though?

Rumour is that David Heyman and Amy Pascal are being lined up as the new Bond producers. https://www.darkhorizons.com/amazon-sets-heyman-pascal-on-bond-franchise/

Playing Hades the phrase “come die again” has been uttered several times. It might work as the title of the next one.

Dark Horizons talks Nolan: https://www.darkhorizons.com/chris-nolan-amazon-bond-talk-heats-up/ It’s all speculation, but it shows the way people are thinking. I’m not convinced Amazon will want to wait around for Nolan’s slate to clear.

Generally Hollywood leading men simply don't want to put the time in to master a good British accent when they could be chasing girls. I think that's largely all there is to it - the U.S. leading men feel too secure to put themselves out, because th…
