I was rather mesmerised by Knight’s 2013 film Locke. But then I’ve always been a fan of single setting films, and Bond couldn’t require anything more different.
He brought out the best* in Tom Hardy, mind 
*which is saying a lot, given the way Hardy butchered the Welsh accent!
Isn’t Tom Cruise already preparing to do that?
@dalton’s proposal to launch M, Q, and Moneypenny into space sometime next year is under active consideration.
No doubt about it, that would be a milestone for Bond. The only problem is, real footage from a space flight might not cut it as spectacular enough. Plus, you’d have to have some kind of bigger vehicle to interact with other characters, necessarily in extremely confined spaces. The calculation for such a trendy gimmick would show astronomical costs to get actors and crew up there. While the footage would likely be underwhelming, with zero action and no special effects. Why going that route when any studio today can knock off far more spectacular material with the help of CGI for a fraction of the cost?
In my view it’s inevitable Bond will sooner or later end up returning to space. But it wouldn’t necessarily follow it has to be done in documentary fashion.
Operation Gravity Zero. This Christmas, let James Bond take you around the world one more time.
That reminds that a great while back I made a this or that question of putting James Bond in space in a pre-titles sequence where he was sent to the International Space Station to identify a suspected saboteur and then stop them from creating havoc. During his investigation, Bond would discover the culprit and have to go out on a space walk to stop them from destroying the station in a final suicidal act.
(FYI if you’re curious, the other option was another PTS that found Bond having to stop an eco-terrorist from sabotaging/destroying some oil rigs or some sort of deep-sea mining operation right near the edge of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Bond and the bad guy would fight with 007 winning by hooking the villain onto an underwater vehicle that would take him over the trench and deeper into the ocean.)
I could see something along those lines.
An interesting idea. However, the one problem I see is that space walks are quite slow and cumbersome, so the scene might lack the necessary adrenaline-fueled action for a PTS. A zero-gravity fight scene inside the station might work better? With some creative choreography, it would be unlike anything seen in a Bond film before.
True that, and a zero-gravity fight scene would be interesting and probably entertaining. But I would also counter that the heightened danger and suspense of the space walk MIGHT offset the slower action–particularly if the villain shoots a laser gun at him or throws things such as equipment or tools at him. And if they happen to get in a struggle and roll around on the station, a potential tear in the suit would be deadly.
Maybe it could be a two-man team, and Bond has to fight one in zero-gravity inside the station and the other outside in a space walk–the best of both worlds. 
How about this as a way to get both:
The film opens outside the space station. We see one figure in a space-suit stalking another. Tension slowly builds until they have their physical confrontation. As the fight progresses it moves inside the station. In the airlock we see one astronaut remove his helmet reveling him to be James Bond. This then leads into the zero-gravity fight.
Or… just watch Moonraker again! 
Absolutely.
And really, smuggle an untrained man as an astronaut on board a „rocket“ just to have him fight someone there in a zero gravity situation? And people complained about the slowness of the underwater fights in TB…
And afterwards, how does Bond get back down to earth? In a time in which astronauts are marooned on the ISS because the second rocket can’t be launched in time, with bad weather further delaying a rescue mission for months…
Let’s just find something Bond can realistically do.
Like jumping out of a plane without a parachute.
Damn.
Let‘s really watch MR again instead.
There are plenty of places on earth that Bond either hasn’t been to or hasn’t been to in decades. The last place he needs to be going is into outer space again.
On the surface this appears to be a watch nerd video - but actually it’s a nutshell 101 introduction to business administration, erudite and spot on, why the Swatch Group may soon have to change course in light of diminishing margins - which may in turn influence the Omega investment into product placement/promotional partnerships*.
*Much of it is true for Eon’s automobile sideshow Aston Martin, too; no easy way to upscale and make models more profitable or stand out with unique innovations and technology. Will be interesting to see how much Amazon is willing to spend on these partnerships in the future…
