I can imagine they have to be quite careful from which angle they photograph those two glass spheres: one rogue skyscraper in the background and….

I saw that too, but I refrained from commenting on it and instead went with my big balls post.

Glad I test marketed that idea first. Going to stick with the wood door

A wise decision. When you originally posted, I was going to say that changing your picture would be a ballsy move, but restrained myself, knowing you would arrive there as well.

The rumors seem to circle in on Amy Pascal and David Heyman…
This article is from March 1st, but industry insiders keep repeating this.

A source that has been taken to court multiple times for making up stories…
IF (a very big if) it is true, Amy Pascal has had input on 4 Bond films already. 5 if you count she was one of the people who selected Craig.

The source is doubtful. But this will probably be the “broken clock”-thing.

It seems the wheels are moving.

It’s true, numerous outlets now claim Amy Pascal and David Heyman were ‘in talks‘ - though for now they all seem to cite the Puck story.

I would at least like the choice of Pascal - her good relationship with Barbara Broccoli would bode well for Bond.
Also, she is majorly experienced and no pushover.

I’m hoping for a sort of “director’s series” where Amazon brings in the biggest director names in the business like Nolan, Tarantino, Spielberg, etc. and gives them free rein so long as they: 1) keep the stories contemporary (I 'm not in favor of going back in time. Bond has always been forward thinking) and 2) don’t contradict any of the new timeline – in other words, no constant resets – no changing something that has been established by a previous movie.

Agreed. I like her connective tissue to the franchise.

At least that second part is highly unlikely to attract the kind of directors you have in mind. Most of them are fairly adept at manoeuvring studios and producers, that’s a given in the industry. But asking them not to contradict established past - which they may hate! - is probably going above and beyond the call of duty for them.
Even the original Eon series had its contradictions - and those were made by craftsmen directors largely kept close to Broccoli/Saltzman. At most we may see the kind of loose continuity the films until THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS/DIE ANOTHER DAY had. But if Amazon’s run keeps for longer than three films, then we’re likely to see the odd anomaly. Particularly if big name directors were to helm any number of them.

To clarify – I would only ask that they not contradict any of the “new” continuity. I don’t think this would be too difficult or too much to ask, especially if the films are done as stand-alones (which I also want – no Craig era ongoing stories). To clarify even further – I’m ok with mild contradictions. What I wouldn’t want is where each new director comes in and is clearly setting their Bond in an entirely new universe separate from the previous films. Regardless of whether or not this is doable, it’s simply what I would like to see. As always, I’ll lap up whatever they end up giving me.

So… money is not the issue.
Pascal is experienced with Bond and Heyman at least has steered „Fantastic Beasts“ through tumultous problems.
It’s all no guarantee for a great new Bond era. But at least they are moving forward with Bond being a priority.

Amazingly, after 25 films, David Heyman would be the first natural born Brit to produce a Bond film…

BB…technically
But i think this is a good sign that whoever is on charge of the new Bond films is taking it seriously

Interesting. And something I wouldn’t be against. Maybe Bond will be in good hands after all.
