    Seems to me there are some similarities with the plot synopsis of Bond 25 and the Gardner continuation. Nuclear scientist, Bond not on active duty, crazy terrorist type!
    And with some scenes confirmed to be filmed in London, that could mean Bond heading back to Mi6 to get his licence renewed, oh and pick up the electric Aston Martin!


    I can't see him using the electric Aston they just announced: it's a four-door and they're only building 155 of them- they'll have sold out and stopped making them by the time the film is out! :)
    Well they purpose built the db10 exclusively for Spectre, so I don't think limited numbers are an issue, but I mentioned it as a tongue in cheek aside.

    Well the DB10 was great brand exercise and lead pretty closely to the new Vantage which hadn't been unveiled at that point; the Rapide is an old (four door!) car which they're stopping making that they're putting an electric motor in and it'll be long gone by the time the film is out- I don't see them pushing that. I know you weren't making a solid serious case, but it's a different sort of 'limited numbers'.
    They may well have a new electric sportscar out by the time the film is out though, so you might be right! :)

    Ana acted with Craig in the upcoming "Knives Out" so it might be a case of him having made a case for her. There have been reports that he gets a say on who gets cast for the female roles. To which I say, "Good going, Danny!"

    So the Sun had an article talking about Ana de Armas and some of her nude scenes and a few comments caught my eye and gave me major concerns....

    "Bond25 had been dubbed the "MeToo" Bond because it is set to feature a 'woke' 007.

    DC in his infinite wisdom or stupidity demanded that Phoebe Waller-Bridge be brought on as co-writer.

    And.....

    Producer Barbara Broccoli said recently that Bond’s attitudes to women would be moving with the times.

    She said: “The Me Too movement has had a huge impact – rightfully, thankfully – on society, and these films should reflect that, as everything we do should.”

    Don't get me wrong I generally like DC's portrayal of Bond BUT I'm not liking the choices he's making and I certainly don't want a SJW Bond!

    Read the article again, decide whether it’s true or they’re trying to provoke reactions in you and whether they have an axe to grind.

    Oh trust me I read the article twice just make sure I wasn't losing my mind! Now is the writer trying to get a rise out of people myself included....probably but I think that there is some truth in it!

    Where’s their evidence? These articles are saying Bond fans are ‘up in arms’ at the launch event. Are we?
    The only things getting fans got under the collar are these excrement-stirring articles: so I wouldn’t believe them if I were you. There’s a distinct whiff of them having some sort of vendetta against Craig: I have no idea why. I guess vilifying someone and creating some sort of scandal makes for an interesting story.

    People are really quick to believe tabloid stories around here. Didn’t you see Tomorrow Never Dies? :D

    Barabarra Broccoli has said more than once that Bond25 will be influenced by #MeToo. But what can that mean? Bond won't slapp women on their butts and say "Man talk". He won't use women's bikini tops to threathen to strangle them unless they talk. We haven't seen that sort of thing in a long time. Why? Because the movies have to reflect the times we live in, up to a point.
    Barabara Broccoli has also said she wants interesting female characters in the movies. Is all this a bad thing?

    Well said and my thoughts exactly. For more recent examples, I hope it means no more sneaking into showers with sex slaves and forcing himself on women in general. Anyone who says that would be social justice warrior stuff should take a long hard look at themselves and their values tbh.

    Exactly; there's nothing new or surprising about that; and if she's asked about feminist movements to do with sexual assaults she's hardly going to say "Yeah we're just going to ignore all that- who cares?"! :)
    I'm not saying she's lying at all, but it's no surprise that they're against sexual assault is it? They're sensible, adult humans.

    I think that shower scene was probably the worst thing Bond did and I still don't understand the point of that scene? The Moneypenny scene was also one that had me scratching my head but Craig's Bond isn't as bad as previous portrayals.
    I know where you keep your gun!
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,341MI6 Agent
    The shower scene could've been easily fixed by having her invite him to join her, just a little wave of the hand and a smile. It would've been a much better scene.

    Here we go again :s .....Please don't take the tab bait again. As pointed out by others, Bond has evolved in the films and the Bond of the Craig era has been anything but misogynistic. Barbara Broccoli has been very clear that they have no intention of emasculating James Bond. I think what you will see in Bond 25 are strong female characters and Craig's Bond will continue to be .....Craig's Bond.
