When do you think the next Bond movie will be made?

Between 2023 and 2030

or

After 2030

??

Between 2023 and 2030. The Amazon acquisition should end any more questions about funding that have plagued the series since Dalton’s tenure.

Fiona Volpe
OR
Fatima Blush
?

Both good but have to go with Fiona Volpe.

Would you prefer the next main Bond girl be:

(Asian) Indian

or

Hispanic

?

Depends on whether Bond is white or not.

Neither if he is white since Bond-as-Colonizer is not a good look for Amazon.

Feel free to suggest another choice… :slight_smile:

A post was split to a new topic: Bond and Sexual Ethics - Are there any?

Mod note: one post split into its own discussion

For entirely random reasons - I flipped a coin -

Indian

The next villain’s megalomaniac toy:

A toy train and village in real life dimensions with randomly abducted people as playing figures

or

A herd of generically altered hyenas to chase and dispose of illoyal/unsatisfactory/undesirable employees.

Both are very Lewis Gilbert.

I’ll go hyena. A good director could make that scene properly scary…like Lewis Gilbert did.

Bond 26 henchmen?

Evil Bond (Red Grant etc etc)

Or

Powerful Mute with a gimmick (Odd Job etc etc)

We’ve oddly had both in the last 2 Bond films: Silva and Hinx (though Hinx did say one word), but I’ll go with evil Bond.

Where should Bond visit next (that is never really mentioned as a potential destination)
Indonesia
OR
Papua New Guinea

Better PTS:-

Moonraker

or

Octopussy

??

Both great but I’ll give the edge to Moonraker.

Bond 26 should be:

Based on a continuation novel

or

An entirely new and independent screenplay

?

New screenplay.

Would you rather:-

  • direct a Bond movie that was a flop

or

  • play a minor role in a Bond movie that was a success

??

Direct. Great Bond films were initially flops (OHMSS, LTK)

Would you rather:
be a co-writer on a Bond film
OR
be a cinematographer on a Bond film
?

Co-writer by far.

Would you rather be:

The parent of a Bond villain actor

or

The parent of a Bond woman actor
?

Parent of a Bond Villain

A series of individual maniacs. (Enough Spectre-nostalgia).

Next director:

Someone who already directed a Bond film.

Or

Some completely new talent.

Completely new talent. Bond no.7 needs a hard break from what came before following Craig’s more connected run

Out of 2 overqualified but very good for the part actors…

Next M?

Mark Gatiss

Or

Jonny Lee Miller
