Info on the origins of the Scott Rose-Marsh hoax, that conveniently glosses over Deadline's role in spreading that hoax.

"BIG EARS" could be cast as a VULCAN on a Star Trek series instead of Bond. The reaction to "BIG EARS" as Bond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT7xJ3HE09I

If this turns out to be true, BJ will be very unhappy:

But... but I thought she was an "alt right troll" because she was photographed at a family BBQ with someone in a pro-police T-shirt?!

I thought that was from some crappy pun in a jeans ad.

At Denny’s today and A View To a Kill came on.

Me:”Crap Bond film, great theme”.

I’ve said that before and I stand by it.

AMC channel tomorrow night: Sean Connery vs James Bond--TV Movie in 2022----53 minute documentary.

Enter Pierce Brosnan, who had been offered the role of Bond nine years earlier, but was forced to not participate due to his work on Remington Steele. Sporting a tux, a Walther PPK, and the keys to a BMW, the world gots its first new Bond in years with his arrival, and on January 16, 1995, 31 years ago today, cameras started rolling on GoldenEye, his first film.

Deadline’s Justin Kroll, guesting on the My Mom’s Basement podcast, saying his sources indicate that the new James Bond will likely be cast in the middle of this year, with filming starting late this year or early next year. Now, I wouldn’t bet on “late this year,” considering Villeneuve will be all over the world promoting “Dune 3” in November and December. But January 2027? That sounds about right. One insider told Kroll the new Bond needs to look like “he could kill you with his bare hands in a trice” — a clear return to Fleming’s more brutal version of the character. Sources also indicate that Knight is drawing heavily from Fleming’s earliest novels, which could mean a return to Bond’s Royal Navy background and his rise through MI6 before attaining his “00” status. We could very well have an “origin” story on our hands, potentially set in the ’50s or ’60s. Not a done deal, but that’s what many fans would love to see — a period-set Bond. As for who will play Bond, let’s pause on the speculation. The only concrete intel I’ve gotten is that Amazon/MGM was pushing for Jacob Elordi, but with no auditions having taken place and Villeneuve having final say, we’re still a few months away from a decision. https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2026/1 ... early-2027

Sounds plausible to me too. Though the comments about Fleming's early novels suggests that the author hasn't read them. Kroll seems to think that they start off with Bond's origin story.
