Sony ended up with them late 1990s, partnered with Kevin McClory who had thunderball rights to make a bond series of their own , they were immediately sued by mgm and eon, Sony and mgm settled with mgm trading their rights to Spider-Man for the rights to casino royale , both properties considered unfilmable . 1990s Marvel super hero movies we’re bad, Sony helped make it something with their Spider-Man movies a few years after getting Spider-Man rights.
Supposedly the first drat of casino royale was written for brosnan.

Yesterday I was going through the channels and Moonraker was on (on ITV). It was the bit with gondola and the double taking pigeon. It reminded me of the pseudo intellectual miserable Craig fans!

Originating in Ian Fleming’s literary version of You Only Live Twice, the poison garden is one of a handful of references pulled from the 1964 novel. Though the title was already used for Sean Connery’s fifth James Bond outing, the thematic material was still ripe for influencing the course of No Time To Die’s story. Which, as Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson pointed out, is a firm example of ideas never really going to waste in the Bond franchise.

The reference in the film was so fleeting you didn't even notice, a real waste of the concept. It does prove one thing the original name of this film was indeed Shatterhand!

I was disappointed with the concept and design of the poison garden. When I picture it I see as a vast, menacing, almost overgrown place reeking of vegetation chaos.

Precisely Irony, the novel paints the picture of a large park like setting where distraught locals went to commit suicide, what we got in this film was a hot tub with a couple fichus sitting next to it!

The White Coat Waste Project report claimed that the researchers locked the dogs in cages with hungry sandflies so that the insects could eat them alive.
Some of the pooches were also allegedly injected with disease-causing parasites.

“The commissioned tests involved injecting and force-feeding beagle puppies an experimental drug for several weeks, before killing and dissecting them,” lawmakers wrote. Fauci commissioned money to do this in a Tunisian laboratory :!: :hair: :cuss: He deserves to be thrown to the lions already in a zoo :!: Image I despise this Bas***d with a passion for creating this virus, denying he did it with China, and now this :!:

I'd like Vernon Wells' autograph. And Scott Baio as long as he signed it as Dr Jack Stewart.

Derek, since Bezos now owns MGM and is a space nut, you might see a Moonraker type story vs. the emotionality style of film next time.

"Daniel Craig receives a fitting end to his James Bond arc in No Time To Die". Yeah, Craig began with a dark reboot with Casino Royale and ended his era with a dark/soap opera version of Casino Royale '67. Quite a fitting conclusion.

It always cracks me up when people go on about Craig's Bond having a "story arc" when it's obviously clear, especially with the film Spectre, that there was no planning of any proper story for this era. Everything about Craig's Bond "story arc" was just cobbled together film by film.

As for the action scenes in No Time To Die getting in the way of exploring Bond's feelings, most reviews I've seen of the film say the opposite. More people seem to want Bond on a mission and focused on his job instead of constant soul-searching.

Absolutely, you tell 'em Saint!

I will say to this chappie's point, the reason this film runs nearly 3 hours is the fact the action scenes are tacked on to the "emotional" ones. The film's structure is; emotional exposition dump, action, emotional exposition dump, action, lather, rinse, repeat. So in a sense he's right, I suppose.
