Mission Impossible - Fallout, not the new Amazon series.

I'd rather they go with a relative unknown, à la Connery, Dalton and Craig.

Moonraker is very silly, but I think it's solidly made and has a consistency of tone, which is a lot more than you can say for the subsequent Moore and Dalton films, which lurch jarringly from goofy gags to harder-edged violence.

Or Honey Rider. I think many of the so-called excesses of the film series actually originate in the novels. Dr. No has metal hands and is drowned in bird guano in the book, while Bond engages in hand-to-tentacle combat with a giant squid.

It does, but then you're probably better off sticking with Le Carré over Fleming.

For me, it really depends on the actor. I don't necessarily have a problem with Bond in a contemporary setting being played by someone who isn't white. For instance, to mention a couple of names that have been kicked around recently, I'd much rather see Idris Elba take on the role than Tom...

Casino Royale was supposed to be about a young Bond - an idea that should have been nixed when they cast a 37 year-old.

I’m probably in the minority, but I’m glad Nolan won’t be doing it. I hope the next Bond is a little more fun.

I think that may have more to do with Michael G. Wilson's influence than Purvis and Wade. As soon as he took over as writer on For Your Eyes Only, the films have become over-plotted and needlessly convoluted.

It was once, but hasn’t been as far back as Live and Let Die.

Edgar Wright gets my vote.

I'll believe it when it's official. I'm sure they're testing people, but I doubt any decision has been made.

I don't believe any of this. I don't think they'll be seriously casting for some time.

The films were already headed in a lighter, more comedic, over-the-top direction when Moore took over. It’s pretty easy to picture Moore in You Only Live Twice, or especially Diamonds Are Forever.

I've never understood why she's in that movie. Is it to show that Bond is still attractive to young women? If so, it didn't work - it feels like she's coming on to her dad's friend.

To some extent, Bond has been reinvented every time the role has been recast. In a contemporary setting, I'm not opposed to the idea of a black Bond - or someone from a former colony like Hong Kong or India - but I think he has to remain a he. If they try to make Bond a woman...well, it's just...
