Classic Bond Forum

Barbara did not plan to make 5 interconnected films! She is making it up.

I take it that we are not allowed to say Craig looks like Putin now?

I think the world is turning into 1984.

RIP Howard.

BJ, I hope the Olive Garden was nice and not a Ramsey's Kitchen nightmares job!

The most recent betting site lists many names as the next Bond actor yet most do not mention Aidan Turner for whatever reason. That might bode well for him with Broccoli as her under the radar selection. This is where the odds currently stand: Regé-Jean Page - 3/1 Henry Cavill - 4/1 Idris Elba - 6/...

For example if you bet £10 on Idris Elba NOT becoming Bond, £3000 can be won! Of course betting against something means that if Idris is cast as Bond you will have to pay the £3000. Do you? I thought you just lost the £10. Anyway, Idris is 49 and has said he doesn't want to do it, so it seems a fai...

This is an interesting article on the next James Bond betting. https://www2.politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2022/01/23/why-mr-bond-were-not-expecting-you/ The author says that there is endless speculation on the next Bond making actors who have no chance of being cast as the favourites. The ...

700 pages is good value!

Pierce Brosnan has an OBE but it is unofficial as he is Irish/American.

No Christmas bulbs on the forum this year!

“Well, it’s a blank page at this point,” says Wilson. “We haven’t really discussed it, so anything’s possible.”
“It’s a great place to be,” adds Broccoli, “where we feel like we can wipe the slate clean and do whatever we want.”

Maybe they could make a James Bond film?

what about Sam Clafin as Bond? He's the right age, a good actor, and would look the part with the right haircut. I'd prefer Cavill or Turner but you know what Barbara is like. She'll overthink this and not choose the obvious candidates. https://images.desimartini.com/media/uploads/samclaflin.jpg Ba...

That Hollywood Reporter article was a bit strange. Did Barbara Broccoli really steer the series "through multiple reinventions"? She only got to choose a Bond with Casino Royale, and then made the same film about eight times with him. Also Cubby Broccoli invented and built up the Bond film series no...

That one would make a great poster.

Happy Birthday to Goldeneye.

3. Finally, Bond was supposed to enjoy life - or the smaller things in it - good food, a well made drink, good friends and satisfying though usually short-lived relationships with women. Craig's Bond was perpetually cranky and angry and didn't really seem to enjoy these things - although we saw a l...

Hopefully!

I hope the next Bond film will be watchable. But it will start with a strange choice of Bond and go downhill from there.

How much would any here shell out for an autographed photo with one of these----'celebrities' -----appearing this weekend at Chiller Theatre? http://chillertheatre.com/photosked.jpg I'd like Vernon Wells' autograph. And Scott Baio as long as he signed it as Dr Jack Stewart. https://pbs.twimg.com/me...
