An Insider's View on BOND 26 | Reality vs Fantasy

- Опубликовано: 19 фев 2024
- In this video I sit down with a fan who is also an entertainment industry executive, to discuss what we might realistically expect from a Bond 26 reveal, announcements, and the potential for official information. We ask all the pertinent questions: Who would want to see in a director? Will we go back to a formula of fun? Will it be a mix of older tropes, or a completely NEW approach? Will the actor be a surprise? We even discuss the question of what type of experience we want when Bond 26 finally debuts! Grab a drink and pull up a chair for this 007 chat...

When David is not running an advertising and marketing company, his hobby is The Bond Experience which is primarily a video blog where he discusses Bond experiences and the people and brands that help to create those experiences...
The mantra of living like Bond, one moment at a time emanates from a concept of experiencing the joy of collecting small moments in life that add up to amazing journeys and stories....whether it's through style, locations, literature, fitness, and the movies themselves the world of Bond is explored through its people and their stories.
Ultimately though, The Bond Experience channel is a celebration of the James Bond franchise and the many people that form a true community. Our core mission is to create a strong connection in the Bond community amongst all the fans, regardless of interest or demographic.

FFS!! 😂
Barbara said just told Deadline recently "No, there's nothing I can tell you about the next James Bond film. There's nothing. Nothing is happening yet"
So, yeah.. I seriously wouldn't expect a finished film for at least 4 years *minimum*
Edit: Ok, David's guest just mentioned the Deadline interview lol. I posted before I seen that obviously.
Whatever Star Wars is doing...don't do that.
For real. 🤦🏻♂️
Lol.
That is a very 'be careful what you wish for' example when people say Eon should sell up and they need to make more content.
Great work fellas! Fun to listen to this morning!
You can look at your guest…you don’t have to stare at the camera 😮
I’m a fan of espionage/assassin characters. Daniel Craig’s Bond hit the spot between silver screen attire and everyday wear. It’s like wearing a Casio DW-290 (Mission Impossible)because I’m on a mission and don’t want to deal with the mechanics of my more expensive watches while also wearing navy Herrington (Craig) over a black long sleeve polo (Connery), with black UA fitted stretch woven pants, UA black cap and UA black white sneakers (function and comfort). Lastly, I’m a fan of this channel and for some reason, DAVID, yes you, refuse to share what your wearing like the other video, Bond 26 that cardigan looked awesome. Best wishes as always! 🙌🏼😀
"When in doubt go back to Fleming". I hope the Broccoli's still adhere to this mantra. I personally would love to see them take it a step farther in that they really go back to the sprit of Fleming. They mine the novels and short stories for not so much for plot but character, tone, setting and most important, personality. And yes, make it fun! Even after 26 films there's still much to be extracted from the Fleming books. Dalton and Craig did this very well. And I think you can have a Dalton/Craig/Fleming Bond and still have it fun!
I 100% agree, but have no confidence in EON's reverence for Fleming's Bond. They seem hell bent on "keeping it modern" which is the antithesis of anything Bond-like.
@@frankb821 If there is a Bond 26, it'll likely be the final nail in the coffin for the series.
Sadly, I agree with you@@LeonWick526
I’d love a more faithful adaptation of the books, I think the films butcher the character and I can’t excuse the misogyny.
@@frankb821 Bond always moves with the times which keeps the series relevant [Goldeneye showed he was still a viable character post-Cold war for example]. Casino Royale was a pretty faithful adaption of Fleming's novel but set in contemporary times.
I want Dennis Villenueve to direct the next Bond film. Yes, he's currently busy making the Dune films, but by the time Barbara Broccoli is ready to make the next Bond film, it'll probably already be at the end of the 2020s.
Maybe Barbara should give the producer duties over to a trusted name like Nolan. Let Nolan produce Bond for five years. We'd have two or three films in that period instead of one.
@@samuelstephens6163 For real. I love this idea. With respect, I don't think Barbara's heart's in it anymore after Daniel Craig left. It's just sad that we Bond fans are made to suffer because of it.
Villenueve would be my second choice if he approaches Bond the way he did SICARIO as opposed to DUNE. My first choice would be Christopher Nolan to direct and Anthony Horowitz to write. They are both producers, as well, so let them produce it. It would be Terence Young & Richard Maibaum all over again.
@@richardweddle3408 I would love this too. I think Nolan's Bond film will be great, but like he's said, he wants full control over making the film. Yes, I would love to see the creative-like return of Terence Young and Richard Maibaum. They understood the Bond character and made some of my very favorite films of the series.
It would be too ponderous and slow.
I always urge for folk to not mistaken a comment made at an unconnected media event for a solid franchise update.
GREAT conversation! I have noticed that the MI films have been trying to do Bond scenes but turn it up a notch or two! With some success….
And on another note I totally understand WHY the Craig Bond was
So serious and dark and physical! Bourne!
Nice conversation. Pretty much how we are all feeling about things and the hopes we have. Hopes that will be dashed to pieces, lol!! But maybe and hopefully not.
This maybe a fools hope. But I hope that they have secretly signed on Chrsipher Nolan to direct the next bond movie, but they are just waiting until after the academy awards to annouce it, so it doesnt take attention away from his Osacr campaign for oppenheimer (which he is expected to win best director for).
So I am holding out hope that there is a small chance, there will be surprise annoucment this sping.
I’m on board with the idea of having Edgar Wright direct and leaning into humour. I like the idea of a modern Mankiwietz-style movie with darker edge humour. A good pointer would be the Cuba sequence in NTTD, and would be perfectly happy for Phoebe Waller Bridge return for that reason (apparently that was the sequence she was most involved in). I also quite like the idea of Mark Gatiss being involved as I think he could do something like this
I am holidng out a little bit of hope, that they will make a surprise annoucment that Bond 26 is coming and Christopher Nolan will direct. Again just a foolds hope, but maybe they are waiting for until after the academy awards 2024 so it does not take attention away from the oscar campagn for Oppenheimer, which his is expected to win best director for.
Hallo und einen schönen Tag ,
ich bin da ganz bei ihnen .Ich mag James Bond auch lieber in einer realistischen Rolle. Dankeschön für die immer tollen Videos .

I would be surprised if they went back to the 'Bond formula' and tropes as they were last used in 'Die Another Day' so over 20 year ago and home media had made the formula more obvious]. I'd say the Cuba sequence in NTTD is more what you'd get if they were doing a 'lighter' Bond.
Bond fans are so nostalgic. Don't get me wrong, nostalgia has a place. But each new Bond keeps pace with the times. The one-liners became quite tired, for example. Younger audiences call them "Dad jokes". The old jokes are groaners today. EON needs to attract younger demographics, and move it along from being considered "Dad's film series". Seriously this is how most younger people view this franchise now.
Bring in someone slick like Nolan and Villeneuve, and give them carte blanche over the film(s) they make. Let them write it, direct it, cast it, including Bond and give them every resource they want and you'll likely have a Bond film that attracts entire new generations to the franchise, in droves. Craig's run helped attract more audiences (Skyfall's box office should tell you that), and those new audiences all say they like serious Bond, not the slapstick, bad jokes Bond of old. Broccoli, hopefully, is spending time listening to Michael Wilson's sons too. They're at least younger and likely have a few fresh ideas.
The next set of Bond films being as serious as the Craig era would probably kill the series off for good, it is time we had some fun back, 'Dad jokes' and all. The core audience of Bond has always been older than other series, the source material was written for adults, unlike super heroes, computer game adaptations and Star Wars. I am genetically incapable of posting on RUclips without saying Nolan should not direct Bond, I am puzzled why so many think his pretentious pseudo Kubrick stylings are right for 007. His Batman films treat the absurd characters so humourlessly I find them unintentionally hilarious.
@@usernameinfo Disagree. Craig brought in bigger audiences than Brosnan. CR immediately knocked Die Another Day off the top spot, and then, of course, Skyfall, brought in a billion. This idea that Bond films can't be serious, or that a serious take isn't also fun is redundant. People want more from their heroes today that just something lightweight and forgettable.
@@usernameinfo Your views are a bit outdated, sorry. But Nolan is the business right now. You can't compare his Dark Knight trilogy with the MCU. His take on Batman is considered to be an adult take on superheroes. Nolan attracted younger audiences with his adult take on Batman. I find it an oxymoron to say that Bond attracts adult audiences but at the same time you want the films to remain kind of juvenile. It's not even pretentious to like the Dark Knight trilogy. You finding his Dark Knight trilogy unintentionally hilarious actually places YOU in a very small minority. Sorry, but Bond fans are an important foundation, but they are still not as legion as the general audience that EON wants to attract. Skyfall proved this. So many fans moaned and moaned about that film, and it is one of the very best in the franchise.
@@danielscott8180 Very well put. The way people talk about the Craig films on comments sections, you;'d get the impression that his films were 'flops everyone hated' when they were all massive box office hits and clearly had a following while the Dark Knight trilogy were highly acclaimed and very successful [people like to bash 'Rises' but that was well received critically and made $1 billion]. Even the last Brosnan film is now over 20 years old so going back to that tone feels like a backwards step.
You are absolutely right.@@usernameinfo
A female director, to me, means Kathryn Bigelow. She has directed memorable genre films like Near Dark, Strange Days & The Hurt Locker. She can direct major action set pieces and is good with character development.
I want the best director to make a Bond film, not hire someone just because she's a woman.
Therefore a modern version of Terence Young, Guy Hamilton, John Glen, Lewis Gilbert or Martin Campbell, whoever that is.
Ooh Kathryn would be an inspired choice. She’s always been a daring filmmaker who excels at action set pieces as well as unconventional but pitch perfect casting
Remember, she was the one who had to push for Keanu Reeves to be cast as an action star in Point Break (at the height of the Schwarzenegger/Willis/Van Damme era) because she saw the potential and look how that turned out
She also significantly improved upon James Cameron’s script for Strange Days IMO
@@sandersson2813Don't worry it won't be Ms Bigelow but Mrs Baumbach.
She would have been a great choice 10-20 years ago but her last directorial credit was a while ago [2017's Detroit'] and she's now 72 [the oldest person to direct a Bond is Martin Campbell with Casino at 62].
I hope 🤞 they do expand on the Bond franchise, besides just Bond movies. I would like to see an adventure TV series based around one of the various Mi6 stations, like Hong Kong or maybe Cairo. They could utilize sets seen in the movies for when Bond would have impromptu meetings with M while he was in the field.
Barbara Broccoli was in love with daniel craig, and he didn't want to do anymore bond films, but she let him do whatever he wanted. Hence, bond dying. Complete slap in the face to bond fans.
Indeed. I resent the film. I have zero tolerance for Craig and for Barbara Broccoli's agenda of misandry. She had to find somebody absolutely clueless.
I didn’t love the execution of it, but it was a perfect way to conclude this uniquely connected series of Bond films. Sorta closes the loop on it as its own story, which is done. I honestly think we’re way better off than if it wasn’t THAT in your face he’s died. Otherwise, annoying people would never stop asking “is Craig coming back??” Forever
@@Yoshimitsu4prezI agree with you. I hate that they killed off Bond but if they ever considered killing Bond this was the way to do it. The only thing worse would have been if the villain killed Bond and lived at the end
It was the perfect ending to Craigs tenure. Get over it.
Absolutely this comment - 💯 The producers don’t care about Bond, they showed that very clearly with No time to die. I am a lifelong fan and you know what, once you wake up and realise they don’t care about it the way we do and they are in no rush to get underway, you can live with it easier and shift your focus to the mission impossible franchise and getting that old pre release excitement for their new film that we haven’t had in decades from Bond. Also it’s very telling what films Daniel Craig has done outside of Bond - none of them are the Hill, the Offence or the Untouchables… DC is another vanity driven luvvie who has mistaken his bond paycheck with the size of his talent
I like this version of a view to a kill at the beginning
Hmm, you didn't feel that Craig's Bond was a hero who could save the world? Man, I would feel a lot safer with that guy smashing his way through terrorists in Casino Royale than skinny Pierce Brosnan smirking his way through casinos and hotel rooms.
Agree that they need to take a leaf out of Mission Impossible. What M:I does, when its not redoing old Bond stunts, is they try to show something audiences have never seen before, like that train hanging off a broken bridge. This used to be the wheel house of the Bond films.
Cruise might be done after the next one, so Bond has an opportuntiy to reclaim the top spot. He originally said it would be the last, then said he was going to make them into his 80s. But then Dead Reckoning Part 1 flopped, and he's since signed up with Warner Bros. and announced Top Gun 3. Seems like DR hit him hard and his pivoting away from M:I like originally planned.
Let's face it. Ethan Hunt is no James Bond. The character is a Bond clone without the interesting personality traits that elevate Bond to the top of the action pile. Bond DOES need those great action sequences that M:I has though. But, also, there are serious pacing issues with a lot of M:I's action sequences. Great stunts but they need a crack editor to bring them together. Bond has pacing down pat. They're the very best at pacing action in Hollywood. Nobody does it better.
Bond isn't Action genre though. Keep Bond Bond! Nobody does it better.
James Bond 26 and set back in 1960s James Bond and Wolverine team up in James Bond 26
Mikey G Wiz is 81 now. I don’t think he has another movie in him. He’s a wealth of old Bond knowledge - you should do a one-on-one long form retrospective interview of him.
The best thing that could happen to James Bond is if Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson withdraw. Remove themselves from the creative process. They struggle with the things creative people can do easily. The less involvement they have the easier it will be to make Bond films, the shorter the gap between them, and the better the films will be.
Be careful what you wish for. I remember when Star Wars fans said that about George Lucas. Now many would give anything if he ran things again.
FIRST, worn-out writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade need to be jettisoned entirely from these productions. They've been producing largely diminishing returns since The World Is Not Enough. And never let Phoebe Waller-Bridge near a Bond script ever again.
The problem with Broccoli and Wilson moving-on is: Who do they hand it over to? 🤔
Sad to say that I think you are right.
Let them sell to new fresh creators who are still excited about James Bond.
Yea I know everyone points to Disney destroying Star Wars and I guess that kind of thing is definitely possible with Bond in the hands of new people.
But still - we’ve had 5 movies in 22 years - and counting!
And they already killed him off.
So, how much worse can it get?
Anthony Horowitz. That's who. He wrote three Bond cover novels that easily solve all the things Broccoli & Wilson struggle with. he never runs out of good ideas in his literary career. He also wrote 24 episodes of Foyle's War, each one feature-length, which take us through WWll's impact on England up to the first years of the cold war when the program seques into espionage. He wrote at least eight 95-minutes spy dramas in Foyle's War. He is enthusiastic about Bond. He also produces television. My dream team would be Horowitz the writer and Christopher Nolan the director. They would be good responsible stewards for the franchise.
@@damonappel
Anthony Horowitz and Christopher Nolan, that's who. Together they'd be good caring responsible stewards for the James Bond franchise. Either one has more aptitude than Broccoli & Wilson have displayed in their entire careers, and they both love the James Bond / Ian Fleming world as much as we do. @@damonappel
Harry Lloyd would be an inspired choice
Fun fact the Vessel Building seen at the beginning of your video was done by Heatherwick Studios who were the architects responsible for the remodel of Coal Drops Yard by Kings Cross, and have just got the gig to remodel BT Tower into a luxury hotel here in London. Actually, that's not really fun is it.
I think Amazon is going to have a HUGE part in how the franchise goes. They want to ensure success so I’m pretty sure they will want a slam dunk with an A List Bond, an A List Director, a world class villain and most of all a kick ass script.
I think Henry Cavill's chances are higher if what you're saying is accurate, and I sure hope it is!
The Broccoli's still have control. I don't believe Amazon will likely have any say in the film itself.
I wish they'd bequeath it to Gregg Wilson so we can get on with it.@@Torment92121

David, you have probably answered this in the past but what is your theory as to why EON wait's so long to provide information about James Bond? Other than audience anticipation is there a financial consideration to keeping everything close to the vest?
There's so much 'fake news' about Bond it's always talked about even if there is no film being made [like say 'Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the next Bond' from late 2022 or 'Nolan to direct Bond'] so there isn't much need to feed it themselves.It doesn't help when simply saying the next film is a 'reinvention'-which happens every time a new actor is cast-gets twisted into culture war nonsense so there probably also keen that any information they do release is not going to be distorted.
That makes sense, thanks.
I think the fact that there are STILL no actual updates on the next Bond movie, or the next James Bond, speaks to the fact that Barbara Broccoli is lost without Daniel Craig. She has no idea how to proceed at this point. It's already going to be the largest gap between Bond films.
The BAAAAND experience....
If the film is released in 2017, it will have to be filmed in Japan.
60 years after You Only Live Twice. In fact, Sony is a Japanese technology company, right?
In times of Elon Musk it would be perfect.
If I got a quarter every time he said “you know” I’d be a rich man!
The ending of Bond 25 suggests they don't care about fans like us.
I've thought that for many years now.
I don't necessarily agree. Especially when Daniel Craig's Bond was more gritty. Many said he was a grumpy Bond. Many said they didn't like the of relationship of Bond and Bloefeld.
Where I think DC was able to honor all of the previous Bond actors and movies. Directly or subtly.
Killing Bond wasn't a happy moment as a movie but it was the bow on top for DC
No it doesn't.
If Fleming had not died suddenly he probably would've given Bond a heroic death at some point a few books down the line. That's just how narratives work.
@@rosiekunable I think Fleming was smart enough to just give people more of what they wanted, and he enjoyed writing, while mixing-in bits of his life experience.
Killing-off Bond was the epitome of admitting, "We're plain OUT of ideas. Let's do something sensational, regardless of how it respects the character or not."
And it's not just that they killed-off Bond: It's that they killed him off in the lamest, most stupid way imaginable. Bond essentially just 'gives up' and dies atop the roof. So stupid.
@@damonappelIf you think killing off a character is an admission of lack of ideas then you don't really understand how storytelling works. Fleming was first of all a writer and storyteller, if that's something that would've make sense for a story he wanted to tell and as closure to the character journey, then he would've done it. Because that's what writers and artists do. Same with Craig/EON, having *this* Bond die just made sense for his particular character journey. We might like the execution more or less, but taking it as an attack on the fans and the legacy of the character is plain silly.
Omega should have already started making gadgets, because soon no one will be wearing a watch. How about a layer on the watch face?
Hooray, Bond is gonna be the hero who is going to save us from inflation!😁
HOORAY, BOND IS GONNA BE THE HERO WHO IS GOING TO SAVE US FROM INFLATION! 😁
I’d love Nolan, but only way I see that happening is if we is given full control which I don’t see happening. I say bring back Martin Campbell; he has successfully launched the past two Bond actors. Also, he has made two of the best films in the franchise!
What about the writing? A good Bond film starts with the writing, wouldn't you agree? Who should write the next Bond screenplay?
The problem in 2024 Hollywood is that almost nobody could write a proper Bond screenplay because a vast majority of the writers hate the James Bond character because he is too masculine. See Star Wars and Marvel for examples of this trend.
They should fire the previous screenwriters, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, because they have not write a decent Bond movie.
That's very true. Then find a Brit in the U.K. or a European. Or just hire Anthony Horowitz. He has more aptitude than anyone in Hollywood.@@stephentaylor6617
That's very true. Hollywood is busy emasculating men, but so is Barbara Broccoli. Then find a British writer in the U.K. or a European writer. I recommend Anthony Horowitz who has tremendous enthusiasm for Bond and who has already written three best-selling cover novels that easily solve all the problems Broccoli & Wilson struggle with. @@stephentaylor6617
@@clausvergara9702Neal Purvis literally helped write one of the best Bond movies (Casino Royale) wtf do you mean?
Nice guy and nice interview. I feel compelled though to try the down a shot challenge everytime 'you know' is said here!!! 🥃
Kathryn Bigelow should direct a Bond film
It’d be gritty 😊
I wouldn't expect anything for a while as the film is not in pre-production yet. By this point I think most of the 'usual suspects' for casting can be ruled out if there over 40 as I'd expect the actor to be in there early to mid 30's. We're in a bit of a weird time in cinema as a lot of the established series [MCU, Fast & Furious] feel past there prime, John Wick is going the 'spin off' route and Mission Impossible underperformed last year [despite great reviews].
I wonder how AI video generation will impact the James Bond movies? Perhaps people would be able to use AI to replace an actor with their own preference. Would fans use AI to change plot points? If you didn't like the studios ending to NTTD then get the AI to generate your preferred ending. You could even use the AI to have Casino Royale with a 30 year old Sean Connery or even put yourself in the title role.
You know, you know, you know, you know.......Damn man
Take a drink everytime the guy says "You know"
I’m excited to see what’s in store. And honestly I’d prefer a long wait with a high quality outcome than a quick timeline with a less thought out result.
IMO all the different eras of Bond films have been so excellent in their own right. Craig and Connery especially for me. The fact that Broccoli and co. said “go back to Fleming” is a very good sign. So with that foundation of sticking to Fleming we’ll probably get something good.
I dont think Broccoli will say anything until everything is set in place.
Taking a wild ignorant guess it's possible Eon has some very broad outline for Bond 26. It's possible a writer has pitched a few ideas, got an outline on paper. Eon may have some ideas what direction to consider. For example an obvious direction could be Bond vs AI or Bond vs AI robots or Bond vs enemy exploiting global warming. These seem reasonable story foundations for Bond 26.
'Global warming' would be a very good topic to explore. They won't do 'AI' as the most recent Mission Impossible film already did it [and that aspect got mixed reception].
The last 5 raised the bar so high. They revealed, as many Bond plots do, the real workings of the world. Time to retire Bond for a generation rather than reboot..with what.. Third version of Casino Royale?
Barbara could be messing with us by saying nothing has started with Bond 26, they may already have someone and she could be just trolling.
And just like Marvel Movies James Bond Movies and Star Wars movies same universe
If the rumours were true regarding Chris Nolan, I do believe he was the man to carry Bond the right way forward. Unfortunately, I don’t believe Barbara Broccoli will do the right thing.
The main thing I’m hoping and the one element that could possibly give us hope is this…
they are waiting for award season to be over- Nolan to get his Oscar -
and then begin planning his Bond trilogy!
@@johnrigs6540man I hope your right! That would be awesome
david the only thing maintaining any respect i have for your opinions is your high opinion of casino royale. aside from that i feel like you care more whether a movie makes you feel good about the clothes and watch you wear and the alcohol you drink than a movie with artistic value
I AM BOND FAN. I AM JAPANESE.
Really yeah ?
They need to get a move on it, i can only enjoy the OG 25 so many times!

After NTTD, I don’t think I will watch another Bond movie. That one was so bad that I wanted to leave before I got even halfway through it. I kept hoping that they would rescue it, but it didn’t happen. I left the theater feeling completely let down.
What lol
I would LOVE to see Eon touch on Marc-Ange Draco. What a plot device that's just been sitting out there! The father of Bond's deceased wife. The son-in-law who got his daughter killed. Draco has had time to digest his own decisions that led to Tracy's death and may, at this point even blame Bond to a certain point.
A duo who could begrudgingly be forced to work together against a common enemy and by the end Draco couldn't just ride off into the sunset in his helicopters. He'd almost have to die and in doing so sacrifice himself to save Bond but not before coming to terms with James in regards to Tracy, also he'd leave the whole of his enterprises to James.
A lot of avenues could be traveled in this thread. I only stop to wonder... Who would be the PERFECT actor to portray Draco present day??! I can just imagine a nod to OHMSS... "Do not kill me Mr. Bond... At least not until we've had a drink." Oh the possibilities.
Mr White and Madeline Swan were pretty much the modern versions of Draco and Tracy. They did do something similar to that in the novel 'Never dream of dying' if you've not read that. Given OHMSS was 55 years ago now, I think you have to do re-boot on OHMSS and Tracy to do that.
at this point david will be retired by the time there's another Bond movie.
I don’t get all the comparisons between Bond and Mission Impossible. No Time To Die made nearly 800 million dollars in the middle of the pandemic when cinemas were barely open and a massive chunk of the audience wasn’t leaving their homes. The most recent MI movie, well post-pandemic, barely cracked 500 million, and was such a disappointment they’ve scrapped their plans for Dead Reckoning Part 2. Bond doesn’t need to be taking any advice from the MI series.
I don’t know where you live but in the US most movie theaters were open in 2021 when this film came out. They purposely delayed this movie in 2020 because of the pandemic but by 2021 the pandemic was mostly over at least in the US.
@@zach177 Yes, but the older audience - which is the Bond audience - wasn’t going out at that point. (I should have been clearer, I didn’t mean hardly any cinemas were open, I meant they had only just started opening up.)
They are doing another Mission Impossible for 2025 [filming has just resumed after the 2023 strikes] but have dropped the 'part 2' from the title so are clearly hoping to 're-launch' it to people who didn't see the 2023 film.Dead Reckoning launching next to both Barbie and Oppenheimer was a fatal move but very true about NTTD doing well despite people suggesting otherwise-they were still socially distancing in some UK cinemas yet it's the 3rd highest grossing film in the UK ever. Bond usually makes more money than MI in general.
Hey does anybody know we're hid cardigans from
Amazon saved MGM from going out of business but Amazon has so much money it doesn't need Bond 26 any time soon. Unless Amazon has some contractual stipulation to make Bond 26 by x date - and I'm assuming that wasn't part of the deal when Amazon bought MGM - there's no incentive for Eon to make Bond 26 any time soon. Kinda ironic. Amazon, one of few companies to be worth over a trillion dollars, co-own Bond but we are likely to see the longest gap in the franchise history. I guess money can't speed up making Bond films.
Bond is currently undercover. Just ask the ladies!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent discussion as always.
But after the recent news it all almost kind of seems pointless doesn’t it?
At this point, it’s hard not to get a little angry and frustrated at what they are doing right now.
I think Joe Darlington was right when he said a couple of years ago when he was analyzing NTTD’s ending that it was clear that they wanted to really truly END the character and the franchise and just take a break for awhile.
We didn’t want to believe it - but Joe was right on the money.
After that terrible ending,all of us fans were anxious for a quick reboot, but it’s become obvious that the filmmakers definitely were NOT.
The article a couple of days ago, where Barbara said that absolutely nothing was happening with Bond 26 at all, basically confirmed this.
And no,
we have to stop kidding ourselves when we say they’re just keeping things quiet.
I think they are actually doing nothing at all.
The evidence is everywhere.
Heck - she keeps TELLING us this.
Maybe it’s time to start believing her.
Here we are, all excited and watching videos speculating on this or that in Bond 26
- meanwhile the people we are speculating about obviously just have no interest in James Bond at all anymore.
As fans it is sad to see that the creators themselves just do not share our love and passion for our favorite franchise,
but that sure seems to be the cold hard truth.
Ok Dave -
after this news,
we here in the Bond community all need to see one of your upbeat optimistic videos ASAP 😁!
Doing a re-boot a year or so after ending the Craig run never made no sense to me. I said on opening weekend to NTTD that the next film wouldn't be until 2025 at the earliest. having Dalton's first film straight after the Moore era when it was a very different tone didn't do him any favours while Brosnan and Craig came after a bit of a break so general audiences were ready to give them a chance to impress. Especially after Spectre+ NTTD had pretty troubled shoots they need to plan what there doing and probably are glad to sit out filming under Covid or the 2023 strikes. The average gap between Mission Impossible films in about 4-5 years and as a reboot you don't have to worry about continuing storylines or anything [and both John Wick 4 and Creed 3 were hits last year after 4/5 year gaps].

Yea - all good points!
Well let’s see what happens.
I actually think we won’t get a new film until 2026 or 2027 at the earliest.
But boy
Would giving us fans just a teeny tiny bit of encouraging news or something to keep us going really hurt them??😎
Everything Or ________.
Respectfully, i enjoy wit in Bond films, but not the cheesy "Christmas comes once a year" slapstick levity.
For myself, id like less gags and more Fleming.
All they need to do is get Henry Cavill as Bond, hire a big director like Christopher Nolan or Denis Villeneuve,and set it in the Cold War era. The cold war era removes the over emphasis of boring tech villains, and provides a fresh and interesting take on the franchise. Also, killing Bond in 25 has pretty much forced the franchise to go back in time. The Mission Impossible movies are almost done, and Bourne is long in the past. It's a perfect time to kickstart the franchise again.
The ending of Bond 25 doesn't make any difference to when Bond 25 is set as it will be a reboot anyway-Robert Pattinson's Batman has nothing to do with Christian Bale's Batman but is set in modern times as it's a new continuity. Taking 'Kingsman' into the past resulted in poor box office while the cold war set 'man from uncle' flopped back in 2015 so they might be nervous going in that direction. Argylle hasn't done Cavill for Bond' any favours either. As were sadly in a 'modern cold war' currently, it would make sense to do it modern times [and all of Nolan's action films have been contemporary].
You are right in that we definitely need heroes right now, but I'm not sure the film industry, as mouthpieces for authoritarian western governments, would want to give us heroes right now, for fear it may give the people ideas.
Peter Capaldi on The Off Menu podcast saying that the industry rumour was that they were looking to set the next Bond film in the 1950s.
I bet the broccolis have been working on this non stop you have to remember this is like following Connery this can not fail it has to be right it has to be a billion dollar movie, they don't want to just put out anything of course they could just churn out generic bond films every two years but secretly we don't want that we want quality, Paul mescal WILL be the next James bond,now apparently and I know you shouldn't listen to rumours but this one about two actors to be cast as James bond has got me really excited one young one old I really hope that happens and David if it does don't you think omega can't miss this trick of having both actors wear the same watch one all sparkly and new and one all patinad and rough on an old NATO strap,have faith bond fans
Edgar Wright would be a horrible choice if they decide to turn Bond into another Action-Rom-Com. The success of Bond with Daniel Craig was that it pulled away from the corny British comedy and into raw action (sorry to gadget fans), raw emotion (dude falls in love with the wrong one first off) rollercoaster. Star Wars franchise’s been ruined so hope they’re not looking that way for inspiration. Christ Nolan for director and Thomas Doherty for Bond. Make it an Oppenheimer James Bond.
Also, the last Mission Impossible pulled a lot from the original 1996. You can almost watch them side by side. Between Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies there’s a lot that could be pulled for Bond 26.
As long as it don’t go woke . Aaron TaylorJohnson got the charisma and Roger Moore humour and physique . Great choice . Take bond movie back to Cold War or Nazi era vibes . Bit of fun , action , strong storyline
I dearly hope they dont take it back to the camp style of the seventies. The Craig years were refreshing asides from killing Bond....They need to do something soon before the Mission, Wick and Bourne type movies make Bond irrelevant.
Given the 70's film are approaching 50 years old, It would be a bad move to go back to them
The ONLY reason there isnt a Bond movie is BARBARA BROCCOLI. Maybe she hasnt got over Craig yet. If he came back tomorrow and said lets do another and make it that Bond hadnt died she would jump at it! Shes madly in love with the guy! And in that way she could put right the unpopular ending of NTTD. Plus it would make a shit load of money guaranteed! Dave make a discussion on bringing Craig back and what story they could write to bring Bond back .
I concur, she's like some stage 4 cancer on the series
Too many “you knows”
I hope,but I think.i hope it's not like Britain, on the ash heap of history. CAN BOND SAVE BRITAIN AND AMERICA. 🇬🇧 ❤
I truly hope that Bond 26 resets the franchise in the 1960s. I honestly wouldn't even mind a reimagining of some of the classic Bond movies considering they are based on Fleming books.
He blew up the 'You know' counter 😵💫
From 2015 to now, it's been 9 years... in these 9 years we've only had 1 Bond film, the terrible one in Time to Die. The franchise is dead and Babara doesn't even care. that's the truth . If Barbara cared, we would already have the new Bond actor chosen and we wouldn't have Bond dead in the last film. further proof that children always ruin their parents' work.
David Zaritsky and Morton -- please do a video addressing how political correctness and militant feminism have affected the Bond films. I gather David is aware of this and it's caused him some dismay, but now is the time to nail your colors to the mast, as the saying goes. I hear a lot of complaints, but not on youtube. This is important, because it's the reason the Bond films have come to a stop. Bond as a character was methodically deconstructed out of existence in the Craig films. Ridiculed and excoriated. He was killed creatively from the inside out long before he was blown up. Barbara accomplished her objective. She has no reason to continue. Dig into it.
Hi David……. I think Barabara Broccoli has lost the plot!!!!
Michael G Wilson is past his use by date!!!!
EON have given up!!!!!
Director first…….
Sir Peter Jackson!!!!! Lord of the Rings director!!!!
He is a massive 007 fan!!!!!
After the director you need the writers!!!!
And Bond needs to go back to a one mission film!!!!
Like Goldfinger…..Goldeneye….. Casino Royale!!!!
None of these connected movies!!!!
Yes bring back David Arnold!!!!
Recent movie soundtrack have been crap!!!!!
Regards Ian 👨🎤🇳🇿👍🙏
Bond died. End of story
The biggest problem Bond has is Britain rendering itself an irrelevant laughing stock.
Fantasy: It will be good
Reality: It will be a woke abomination for "modern audiences"
As she obviously doesn’t care about Bond and ruining her fathers legacy the smart choice would’ve be to market NTTD as the final James Bond film
I think it's blatantly obvious going by the last film and Broccoli's apparent nonchalant attitude towards any new films, that it's over, no more Bond films. I mean come on, it doesn't take THIS long to come up with new material. I just wish she was more honest about it instead of stringing us all along like a bad politician.
Thise awkward on camera talking to someone pieces. Trying desperately to be 'natural' 😅
"you know"
DC is a complete feminist and wanted to symbolically kill the patriarchy with NTTD. And yes, I agree that Barbara must have been in love or highly infatuated with him to let him hijack the Bond franchise.
DC is a real-life Bond villain haha.
Umm, this "insider" has no new ideas other than what we already know. Also, I do not think you're going to be getting "milk chocolate" Bond considering Barbara Broccoli has said that the next film will be a "reinvention". Sounds like it might be fresh, like nothing we've seen before. She also has said that exploring Bond's psyche is here to stay, and wants a five-film continuing story like Craig's run.
At the BFI event, Broccoli was sitting next to Denis Villeneuve. At the event he said he loves Bond, and a journalist asked Broccoli if she'd consider Villeneuve for the job. She immediately changed the subject and said she had to go and say goodbye to the PM. Looks like she's courting name directors to me, which, if true, rules out Edgar Wright, and makes someone like Villeneuve or Nolan likely.
Nolan has had multiple meetings with EON over the last ten-plus years about the future of Bond. Like Broccoli, he has also said Bond needs a "reinvention" and Craig's tenure was heavily influenced by his Batman films. (CR was "Bond Begins" and Mendes has been open about the influence of The Dark Knight on Skyfall). So the natural next step would be a Bond film or three to be directed by Nolan.
Broccoli has been trying to push the limits of the James Bond formula (the common tropes that form the typical narrative of a Bond film). She's returned to Fleming in a big way and is enamored by Craig's performance. So I'd expect that she isn't done with a serious, more character-driven Bond film.
Yeah I would be very surprised if the next Bond director is female. Why? Because comparing Bond to what is happening in Star Wars is not a great comparison. The director of the Rey movie has made remarks about the male Star Wars audience that has pissed the fan base off. If Broccoli has any sense, she'll keep away from such divisive choices. NTTD was bad enough after Waller-Bridge did her "polish" on the script.
They re-launch it every time a new Bond is cast-Dalton was very different to Moore for example-so it's nothing new and not worth being fodder for 'culture war' stuff frankly. It's worth noting that P W--B was a Daniel Craig hire, not a Barbara Broccolli one during filming [when things like the ending were fixed] and her main contribution was the Cuba sequence+ Paloma character. She said she didn't do much work on the script as most of her ideas were 'too camp' which is more the 'milk chocolate' some people want.
@@jamesatkinsonja interesting. The Cuba sequence was tonally out of place with the rest of the film. I feel this time they can't go back to lightweight after Craig. I know Eon often goes serious-lighter approach--serious. They have to compete with some big franchises now, so need to keep the quality high and audiences engaged. The goofy, almost slapstick approach of earlier Bonds just won't work with current audiences. I think this is why Barbara Broccoli is taking her time before announcing anything. She wants to get it right.
Please no woke culture bond ... The industry already ruined enough franchises that way.
Unfortunately Bond was just outbonded by the likes of Bourne.
Craig's Bond just looked pathetic by comparison.
Bond IS probably dead. The team behind the franchise has no clue how to proceed. There is a risk that a new Bond will be totally destroyed by woke idealists. Movies will turn out to be pure crap.
