Movies: Amazon says next Bond movie end of 2027. NO star, NO Director and NO script.

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Amazon Prime had a 24/7 Bond channel going for a while and it was great but it suddenly disappeared without warning a few weeks ago. Would like to see that return now that the Broccoli/Bezos conflict appears to have subsided for now. I want to be optimistic here, but the chances of total Bond Enshittification under Amazon are very high.

As someone whose first exposure to the old Bond movies was on TBS' annual holiday marathon weekends that was a major nostalgia hit for me. Sure, I own them all on DVD or blu ray and could put them in at any time but it just hits different when I can turn on the TV and it's in the middle of The Spy Who Loved Me just decide to let it roll. (Also, they stretch them out to like 3 hours with commercials which also brings back memories). I don't need it to always exist, but if they want to pop it back up on holiday weeks/weekends I'm probably going to throw it on.

15 Days of 007 on TBS was a great time.

Can’t wait for the R rated streaming series with graphic sex scenes and violence.

I’m only being half sarcastic.

They haven't been PG since 1987. Licence to Kill was PG-13 (I remember a little bit of controversy over that at the time) and every iteration since has been the same. I don't see that changing. They're not going to go R and risk losing out on a lot of box office revenue.

I meant the streaming series that’s sure to be coming.
 
I mean, Licence to Kill had one of the most gruesome death scenes of a Bond villain I can remember. Can't believe that wasn't R-rated.

But as we know excessive violence is rarely what the MPAA takes issue with.

He is able to change how he looks

He doesn't look very tall. There is a photo of him with Angelina Jolie and he's shorter than she is. Jolie is at a good height for a female, but she's no Kidman/Thurman tall at 5'10 plus.
Certain actors will end up dropping out the longer it takes to finalize the script. A young 007 is early 30's at the youngest. Between graduation, British Navy (to obtain rank of Commander), and training as a 00.

So, target age of actor is at the youngest is roughly 30 to close to Craig's age of 37 when he got the role.

He played Bobby Charlton in the 2011 BBC film "United" about the 1958 Münich air disaster and seemed a bit too short for that role already. He was good though.
