No Time to Die **Spoilers from post #1449 onward**

😂

Edit: See if this works.

Excellent trailer, hopefully the film is as good.

Actually, female thespians prefer to be called actors!

Moonraker is the obvious one .

Final International Trailer

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

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.

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!

I think its run out of road, ideally they just stop making them.

Bond: Origins , it writes itself. If they actually came up with a 3 part set of films starting in ww2 and rolling forward I would certainly be interested.

I havent been a fan of the Retconning in the Craig films, they seem to be making it up as they go along from film to film.

I wouldnt trust them to do a good job with an Origins story.

Yeah, would agree with a lot of this, particularly as a film idea, it doesn't make sense for them now. Could work on a smaller more intimate scale for TV though, and could be very interesting... Just on the period thing - it really does bump the cost way up on top of whatever else you're doing. Every street has to be dressed accordingly. Every car in the background has to be period. Every costume - even extras - bespoke, instead of stuff the costumers can pick up from target or walmart in bulk. For the scale Bond movies work on, and the sheer range of scenes and locations used, that gets really expensive. Now, a Bond movie makes a lot of money, so could afford it, but it's just another reason not to do it for a feature. (Another reason TV makes more sense with a reduced scale with better longer form storytelling, leaning more towards espionage and character building than extravagant scenes and action.)

Will Craig actually get some proper fitting suits in the new film.

Tight suits are going out of fashion it seems, baggy jeans are back too.

We agree on more than you think Pixelburp.😉

Tom Ford who supplied the suits in the last few films generally prefers a suit with more classic proportions.

Ford is also fond of a very close fit, but he prefers his suits to follow the shape of the body rather than fight against it like Craig’s suits do so I'm not sure why Craig wears tight suits.

Seemingly the fashion industry has been pushing this shrunken suit trend for quite a while.

Current trends in suits save money in many ways compared to the way suits are traditionally tailored. The shrunken trend saves manufacturers money, who can sell a 6-foot tall man a suit that is traditionally long enough for a man no taller than 5’8″. These trends save money for suit shops, who might no longer feel the need to employ a tailor on premises because they can sell a man a ‘slim fit’ suit that already has waist suppression instead of using a tailor to fit a suit perfectly to the customer’s body. These trends save customers money for not having to worry about paying to alter the ‘slim fit’ suit that they purchased.

The kind of rumpled fit that Daniel Craig wears is far easier to tailor than clothes that hug the body. It takes less effort to not smooth out the rumples. And if people can be convinced to aspire to this, they can be happy with a poorly fitting suit and demand less of the shops where they purchase their suits.

I also think Craig could do with a new barber. He looks better with longer hair , I know the tight cut is meant to make him look harder but it isnt in keeping with the part, he sticks out with the buzz cut and poor fitting suits.
