An interview with Craig popped up, so I guess the revised press junkets are starting up again. The actor reaffirmed his decision this would be his last bond film...

The world premiere is confirmed to take place at the Royal Albert Hall in London on September 28th

I wasn't aware it has been a rumour, perhaps enflamed by Amazon's purchase of MGM, but in an interview with producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, they confirmed there are definitely plans to make a Bond TV show.

A final trailer, confident that this time, the film will come out in cinemas:

This video is unavailable.

😂

Edit: See if this works.

Huh. Weird. It was definitely working & an official channel too.

MisterAnarchy · 31-08-2021 3:26pm

Excellent trailer, hopefully the film is as good.

FunLover18 · 31-08-2021 4:18pm

That trailer only served to remind me how excited I was for CR and how completely indifferent I am to this. I'm honestly looking forward to the inevitable reboot with a new actor.

Same. Too many delays (obviously not the fault of the film!), too much nonsense with the directors. The Craig era only intermittently realising the promise once suggested with Casino Royale.

And while I know there was another thread about it, and it's bound to be a suggestion that'll attract the predictable reaction but ... Dev Patel for the new Bond. He's a touch on the young side at 31, but the guy oozes swagger and charisma; while he has grown into a striking fella. And having already played two iconic English cultural characters with David Copperfield & Sir Gawain - he may as well go for the hat-trick 🤣

New actor or actress 😄

FunLover18 · 01-09-2021 12:51pm

I keep thinking about the line at the end of the trailer "If we don't do this, there will be nothing left to save" and maybe I'm just looking for things to nitpick but it doesn't sound very Bondian, it sounds like something you'd hear in a Marvel movie.

Hmmm. I dunno.

An evil villain with a grand plan involving global peril seems very Bondian to me, if we look beyond the most recent fare..

Actually, female thespians prefer to be called actors!

Absolutely, I agree, Bond is renowned for saving the world but I can't think of any other examples where the characters of James Bond has had enough self awareness to know or comment on the fact that he's saving the world ... If that makes sense. I think since Skyfall the Bond films struggled tonally to find a balance between dark and gritty while the plots have returned to the more classic and silly villain trying to take over the world.

pixelburp · 01-09-2021 2:29pm

It is, fundamentally, just a very trite, if not just shíte piece of writing TBH. Not that Bond films were ever a source of dialogue to give the Sorkins or Mamets of the world pause, but that trailer line is especially pompously glib in the manner of the time we live in.

Dades · 01-09-2021 2:32pm

In my old age I aspire to give the benefit of the doubt more freely.

Perhaps in the context of the movie/scene, it is a killer line. 😉

Moonraker is the obvious one .

We don’t know the peril yet, but it foreshadows great danger

Final International Trailer

I preferred the one yesterday, this one looks very hammy.

Way too big a name I'd have thought...

Really hope the next actor gets a proper reboot - do his movies as period pieces set back in the cold war era.

OU812 · 02-09-2021 12:59pm

The first book was written in 1953, at which point he was 36.

If they’re going to reboot it as a period piece, I’d love to see them examine his military career as well. Have the first one as a non spy caper, pure action military with him then being brought into the secret service.

loyatemu · 02-09-2021 1:33pm

they've only really rebooted once (with Craig). Even then they kept the same M, and he's been driving around in Connery era cars in the last couple of movies. Can't see them rebooting every time the actor changes.

pixelburp · 02-09-2021 1:38pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117837500#Comment_117837500

Is he though; and would he be any bigger than Craig was at the time he got the role? I'd say their careers are about parallel, taken in terms of "pre Bond". Craig had a very steady career headlining mostly British high-profile films - ditto Patel. Obviously, this is all the height of speculation as Patel may think the Bond role is poison or beyond him.

Sad Professor · 02-09-2021 1:54pm

It's hard to believe we haven't seen this film already.

So an early Jack Ryan...

I've been saying for years that I'd love a Bond origin story... we've had all kinds of hints about the young orphan being recruited into MI6, an avuncular/mentor relationship with Desmond Llewelyn's Q etc. that I'd love to see fleshed out in film set in post-war Britain. Honestly can't believe that they've never done it before!

OU812 · 02-09-2021 3:54pm

This is something that could exist in a TV series. Would give plenty of time to explore and develop the character & co-exist with the movie series

Dades · 02-09-2021 10:19pm

Period movies are expensive, and I fear only the older Bond generation really hanker after something that takes us all the way back. They'll give us the DB5 and a Vantage as a nod to the eras, but that's as much as we're getting.

The Man From Uncle was a really enjoyable dry run at this, but didn't light up the box office.

I don't know that they're expensive, but I'd say the main thing perhaps killing any ideas of a period setting (which I think should be done too, albeit not as a prequel) is the noise from the product placement crowd. The Broccolis are making bank from all the brands wanting to show off their "luxury" tat, available now! To the extent they had reshoots for this, specifically to update the brands - this film has been delayed so long fashion has moved on! Can't have a 1960s Bond movie because Sony wouldn't be able to show off their fancy "new" smartphone.

As to prequels, eh I dunno. How often do any of these "How did Famous Character X get their hat?" prequels ever work out? And even then, love him or loathe him the character of James Bond is barely that. A suave superspy who beds women; there's literally nothing beyond that except the occasional dead (fridged) wife when they want to add "Depth" 'cos again that's really the only direction they can go in.

The films can't even pull the standard "our hero goes rogue when he learns his masters are the real villains!" trope seen in other films like Bourne - cos James Bond's template insists the British Government is without blemish. England herself has absorbed the character as a cultural icon, so said icon can't be seen to be pushing back against "England"
