Thought it would be interesting to post one hope for Bond 24, one fear and realistic prediction! -{
I hope Bond tosses his hat onto a coat stand
I'm afraid that after all the build up of a new M, a new Q and a new Moneypenny there still won't be classic Bond formula scenes with the 3 of them.
I predict that terrorism won't be villains plan - perhaps the drug trade or something hit man esque. A world domination plan would indeed be cool though!
Let's hear yours :007)

That the villain lives in a very expensive underground
lair in an exotic location surrounded by hundreds of expendable
technicians who say things like ' Forty seconds and counting' in
oriental accents.
Fear:
That a distant relative of someone who wrote a rejected
Bond script in 1965 will cause trouble and delay the next film for
about eight years.
Prediction:
That Bond 24 will be bigger and better than Skyfall.
( Or is that wishful thinking ? )
Fear - Gunbarrel not at the start again
Realistic prediction - Quantum will return
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby
Craig dyes his hair brown and grows it out a little bit
Another theme song from Adele
Bond throws his hat onto the hat tree in Moneypenny's office
One cool gadget from Q Branch
The villain is an unused villain from the Fleming novels OR the return on Quantum OR some elements from a Gardner novel
As someone who shares Ian's surname please can I remind you that it's spelt Fleming not Flemming
Anyway...back to the subject in hand:
Hope - A ski sequence appears somewhere in the film/Return of Felix Leiter (preferably Jeffrey Wright)
Fear - The end of Skyfall was all a dream and that we don't get to go back to the old school MI6 HQ after all.
Realistic prediction - Craig's Bond actually gets the girl this time....is that realistic? I'm not sure...
I thought it might have been just the one 'M'... my bad ;%
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby
That's quite alright sir, everyone makes that mistake. I have to keep telling people off at work for getting it wrong
Fear: Sam Mendes doesn't return and Fiennes, Whilshaw and Harris are wasted in their roles
Realistic prediction: I think Bond is on a roll now and the film will definitely be more CR than QoS
Fear: Nothing at the moment now that MGM is in the black again, and with writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade leaving a new writer will pen a good story, that flows properly and makes good use of the changes that Skyfall introduced.
Realistic Prediction: Skyfall will be hard to top
Fear: the producers try another 'different' outing and continue the rebirth of Bond... The Bond girl dies before the final reel again...
Prediction: the villain will be a real kick-ass action actor, maybe Liam Neeson... Craig is better than ever ... And we all rush out to buy whatever Bond wears
I agree with this! We've still not had the best from Craig and another 'different' outing will just delay it again!
No more fannying about establishing / rebirth of Bond!!
The film needs to kick off with him swaggering about in full swing!!
Craig's Bond stumbles upon Eva Longoria serenading her cat around her apartment and being a prick tease. He sneaks up on her naked and uninvited; when she rebuffs her, he beat her head in with a cricket bat and shoots her through a bathroom door. This is the pts, set in South Africa, so naturally he gets away with it.
M's mother appears, played by national treasure Dame Vera Lynn. She has an eye patch, and knows a secret about where Nazi Gold is hidden in the north of England. She becomes a Grandmummy figure to Bond.
Q gets his nob blown off in an experiment that goes wrong.
Fears
The Bond series holds no fears for me.
Predictions
Either 'not as good as Skyfall' and how Mendes got lucky first time round, or alternatively it is brilliant and everyone says, actually SF wasn't really that good after all, this is what it should have been.
Roger Moore 1927-2017
Prob likely! We are due another high profile bird lol
In fact maybe DC needs a bimbo type actress to relax him
