Bond. A Daniel Craig Bond. 2021. This Is No Time To Die.

Aw man, now I’m thinking of an Idris Elba Bond movie with a Massive Attack soundtrack. That would just be the shit.

Man, that sucks for anyone who discovers the show now. I can’t even imagine that show without the flavor of that song.

It’s okay, though. They’ll still get to enjoy panning shots of all the principle cast members looking sad in their apartments in side-view set to “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” in every third episode.

Worth it, thanks!

Um, yes, please

And what about Freddy Mercury as the bad guy? That should be interesting.

I don’t know…

Spectre ended on a low note for me. Terrible movie, not “Bond” at all imho.

I recently watched “From Russia With Love.”

imho much more Bond, even if it had some cheesy bits, like the helicopter exploding and Bond using hisnpetrol tanks to burn boats chasing him, but still having enough petrol for a speed boat to get from offshore Turkey to Venice overnight…

:rolleyes

Ofxourse I’ll watch it at cinema. I’m just not excited as I was for Casino Royale.

How about in the post-Craig era, they set up the new iteration in the 60s? Bring it back to basics.

Very interesting idea. Make it a period piece? That would be a lot more expensive to do, I’d think. But maybe not. Even the modern period ones cost a lot to make, and are still the tent pole achievements for stuntmen and stunt coordinators (though Mission Impossible franchise might be catching up). Still instead of doing a fight on top of a train, for example, you’d need to find a train that was running in the 60s, and re-create that look, and have a fight on top of THAT train. I’d imagine it would add to the cost a lot.

We are due for another bond in space.

That would be groovy.

Some interesting ideas coming around it seems.

Bond, of course, is sexually attracted to the new female 007 and tries his usual seduction tricks, but is baffled when they don’t work on a brilliant, young black woman who basically rolls her eyes at him and has no interest in jumping into his bed

Sounds painful. I hope it’s really good, though.

I must have missed this, I thought Craig was returning for Bond 25? Or was that just a rumor? Or is he not playing 007? Feels like I missed a news rotation in here somewhere.

I’m into the idea of a lady Bond for sure, I’m excited to see what they do with the character.

No, there is a James Bond, but I guess He’s Bond won’t be 007.

Yeah, skimming the article you linked now, it looks like this is sort of a “hand off” type of deal. Interesting!

This is Bond 25 they’re filming now. It sounds like he’s going to transition out at the end and introduce his replacement for Bond 26 and beyond.

As far as I know the vague plot points below are still just rumored, but I spoilered them anyway.

From what I skimmed in a different article (but probably the same info as in the one above), the movie will start out with Lynch already in place as the current 007, and Craig’s Bond will be brought “out of retirement” for whatever’s going on in this movie. Waltz is rumored to be returning as Blofeld as well.

As far as I know Lynch has not been signed for any additional movies, which may just be a matter of time, or maybe literally everyone is dead by the end of this film. Maybe they’re positioning her as a potential to take on the role in future films, but will wait and gauge reception to this. Who knows?

It’s a big leap of faith IMO. They are probably hedging their bets. Craig is a very popular Bond.

Oh great, another senseless gender change.

Dear Hollywood: How about we do a movie about an original and exciting female character?
