Only thing they could do to get me remotely interested is if they announce a Logan-esque old man Bond movie with Brosnan returning. Especially as his reign as Bond was cut short.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
More likely a multiversal type thing where they bring back all the Bonds including a CGI Connery and the new Bond has to round them all up and send them back to their universes.

There is a school of thought that Bond in its current format is now overtaken by events and will continue to struggle unless some contemporary creativity occurs. People who grew up with misogynistic, womanising, elitist Bond are dying off now, and Gen Zs and Alphas aren't down with that sheet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bond is a misogynist, thats his character arc... He's a cold MF, because he's constantly shaking hands with death...

Now I bet he's gonna be left wing and will date a trans woman or something

Well yeah that's what we're all afraid of with Amazon in full creative charge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

My hope is they hire someone with a strong creative point of view to oversee it, and the movies are always primary.

Amazon Prime is a mixed bag, but I can literally say the same about any studio or streamer right now.

The bigger worry isn't their movies will be bad, there's already bad Bond movies. It will be them trying to franchise the character to death.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bond's best days are behind him perhaps. Amazon will take the blame.

Id let it die tbh

Problem is Amazon are going to wring every last drop they can from the IP before its finally dusted though

Agree with Blarmy

Shud justa endied it

Know need 4 moor Bond

Apparently they wanted to spin off Halle Berry’s character Jinx back before the Craig era started. That sort of thing might have worked but doubt it would now

Honestly all these things are great ideas which 100% would work with great writers. However, it seems the biggest thing we are missing are good writers. You have the odd few but most couldn't write a decent character if their lives depended on it

Also if you don't have exec/producers that understand the product you will just alienate the main audience and it will flop

But yeh would love to see Bond back in the 50s-70s era. Bring back all the big Bads of the cold war etc, lose all the modern tech. Classic Austin's et al

The dog killed them both. He was working undercover for decades. His real name is Krypto.

RIP Legend

They say not suspicious so perhaps accidental poisenenibg or something?

Just hope he didn't bump the Mrs off which seems not to be the case.

1) Crimson Tide
2) Mississippi Burning
3) The Hoosiers/ Best Shot
4) The Royal Tenenbaums
5) Superman The Movie

🫡

1. Bonnie and Clyde
2. Mississippi Burning
3. Night Moves
4. The Conversation
5. Superman
6. No Way Out
7. Crimson Tide
8. Enemy of the State
9. Unforgiven
10. The French Connection

I'm struggling to see how it can't be suspicious. The dog definitely didn't kill itself.

I'd recommend a Gene Hackman movie from the early 70's called Prime Cut. Bit forgotten about now but also stars Lee Marvin. Quite out there, worth watching if you like Gene Hackman and Lee Marvin.

Gas leak or similar?

There is no way that Gene Hackman killed his own dog.
I'm not having that.

Something killed the dog though. I don't understand how it's being reported as no foul play and if it was a gas leak or suspected gas leak then why isn't that being reported ?

The most likely turn of events if it wasn't an accident is Hackman dying from natural causes, the wife then killing her dog before killing herself from grief. Don't know why the dog had to die in that scenario though.
