I doubt that. The Goat of Mendes is correct in saying that EON is not a democracy, but I can't see Babbzy at aol dot com completely ignoring the negative reaction to SPECTRE. My gut feeling is that Blofeld may be back, but that Hans Oberhauser will never be mentioned again.

You're right Kris, Babzy will be doing a lot of house cleaning in the coming months-years, however what she keeps and what she throws away will depend on what she blames for SP's less than stellar performance. Will she blame Brofeld? Remember the Sony leaks handed her a gift in audience reaction to that twist but she forged ahead anyway. Will she repeat what she did with DAD and blame the "formula"? As bad as it was this was the most "Bond" of the Craig era. The earlier "serious" films received much praise while SP was declared a stinker by the all important critics who dismissed the lighter moments. Only time will tell!

FBF,the fact that SF and SP got Oscars means nothing. It was for the best song anyway. Critics are predictable. They will praise any movie that is proclaimed to be "serious","character driven" and all that s**t. And that's the only thing Barbara could have done with Craig. I mean,can you imagine Craig in a real Bond movie,where one needs to be all suave and charismatic? Yeah,me neither. I don't think she would give up this pretentious film making that's been going on since 2006 but with SP she reached dead end and now she might have to go back to the classic Bond formula. Whteher she knows how to use Bond formula properly is a whole other story...

I just don't want to reminded of the same person who dismissed Pierce. This is why Babs needs to go, but we know she won't give up that easily so I'm DONE with the series. Done done done done done done. DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has no respect for her father's legacy, especially the last Bond actor chosen by him before the reboot.

FBF, MAYBE the B---H you hate, as we all do, has seen SOME light, and will redeem the franchise with Aidan leading the way. This female director is not what is needed either, but let's get the first puzzle piece in place, that being a new Bond who looks like Dalton/Brosnan, then move on from there. YOU were integral in leading the opposition here and it worked by the world reading your comments about Broccoli and we all agree with you 100% Perhaps Sony/WB will lay down the law to her and we will get a more spy driven and fun film going forward. All we are saying, is give it a chance

You're speaking like a minion here.

If I have to give it a chance, it will be a rental. My money is NOT going to that b1tch theatrically. What if Babs treats Aidan the same way she treated Pierce? I don't trust her, neither should you.

Tom Hiddleston's Blunt Response To James Bond Rumors



The James Bond franchise is in a state of limbo at the moment. After the most recent film, Spectre, was met with mixed to negative reviews, everything seemed to halt. While James Bond movies are almost always financial winners, poor reception can really throw a wrench into an otherwise successful franchise. It was recently announced that director Sam Mendes was departing the Bond world, after directing both Skyfall and Spectre. To add to this chaos, Daniel Craig has been heavily rumored to be departing, meaning that the next Bond flick will need both a star and director.

With Daniel Craig’s announcement of departure being a dark cloud above the entire franchise, fans have been speculating possible replacements. Perhaps the most popular of these new Bonds is none other than Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston. Hiddleston recently appeared on a panel at Wizard World Philadelphia, where he was asked if he would be the next Bond:

"I don’t think that announcement is coming, but I am very gratified to hear the enthusiasm. Your guess is as good as mine, to be honest."

Well this sucks. This statement, which comes to us from the folks over at ComicBook.com, is pretty d**n depressing. Hiddleston doesn’t seem to think that he’ll be able to don Bond’s fancy tux and martini, despite fan outcry.

Tom Hiddleston’s comment could mean a few things for the future of James Bond. To start, it could simply mean that the head honchos of 007 could still be hoping that Daniel Craig would be returning for another movie. While Craig had originally stated that he’d rather slit his wrists than do another movie, I’m sure the right amount of money and/or story could convince the actor.

Alternatively, this could also mean that perhaps Tom Hiddleston simply didn’t get the part of James Bond, among his other competition. Bond is a character that any actors would kill to play, guaranteeing a ton of money and the opportunity for a lengthy film career. Major players have been rumored to be surrounding the project, including the always outstanding Idris Elba. With Tom Hiddleston’s intense involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, perhaps the folks at team Bond were worried his schedule would be a bit unruly.

Finally, Tom Hiddleston’s depressing statement could simply mean that all of the actors who are up for the role simply haven’t been informed of any casting announcements or offers. With Daniel Craig still on the verge of quitting the job, there are likely too many balls in the air to really lock it down with any new actor.

[Kristatos]

I took the statement to mean that he simply doesn't know. I have no idea where William Hill got this idea that the announcement will be made within a fortnight. I'm sure they're secretly praying that it isn't, as the longer the decision is delayed, the longer they can go on getting free advertising disguised as news by regularly slashing the odds on this or that actor..

[Blowfeld]

Hiddleston could still have the role and be unable to talk about it. I doubt this it the case, however the recent trend in public relations is to flat out lie and hope the public foolishly follows along. Not to forget Bond Producers have lied out their, um, teeth to be showing to have been lying all along with no consequences. My guess is he is being honest like so many of the other actors who are plastered all over the press as the next sure thing to have never been approached by the producers.

It was Daniel's mum who spilled the beans on his hiring, a industrious reporter (/sleaze) called her tricking her into believing the news was already out, thus both creating and confirming the news. Daniel's name had come up in passing, some even said it was the next Bond very early on. It was hard to credit as he was such a unknown uninspiring choice. No way in hell Cubby would have given Daniel the time of day either, sadly fans had no experience to base what his spoiled heir would chose.

Looking back at the 2005 casting rumours the strongest was Pierce would be back, still Daniel's name came up very early on, fans disbelieved it at our own peril. Of course back then Pierce was very vocal about being fired and fans knew he wanted to make one more. Daniel not so much. On the other hand Ms. Broccoli firing first the billion dollar Bond was probably a clear sign she was infatuated by someone. Again fans at that time only had Cubby and Saltzman to judge what would might happen.

Oh, about the Goat of Mendes (good one Kris!), is correct about casting Bond not being a democracy as we found out the Broccoli's contractually hold the final say on casting Bond, the studio partners have a equal say in the directors, writers and other cast. In theory, I've not seen any real sign the MGM has the audacity to challenge the temperamental Broccoli family. The closest it came was then Sony acting on MGM's half of the Bond rights forced Craig into a twenty-four hour screen test and tried to get Pierce back a few weeks before Craig was officially announced. In the end the choice was down Ms Broccoli alone, even her brother had did not want Daniel as we learned from his neighbour. No idea what happened to him (MGW), as he used to have some common sense ideas about what made Bond work, recently he has regurgitated such pabulum about Daniel I worry he was abducted from his home in the middle of the night to be forcibly reprogrammed by his sister.

(By the way speaking of Mendes, where is my Flavia de Luce series Sam?)

[Kristatos]

I don't want to sound ageist, but MGW is considerably older than his half-sister. He may be at a stage in his life where he's content to simply act as a rubber stamp for her decisions and leave the day to day running of the franchise to her.

He is what eighteen years older than her? Very possible he is out of the picture as any real influence.

[Kristatos]

It doesn't sounds like Susan Bier is confirmed either, though she's clearly up for it: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/j ... james-bond

The interview says that she is best known for "intense, contained emotional dramas" but that she's champing at the bit to do some action. I hope the second part of that sentence doesn't cost her the job! Babbzy only seems to hire people who hate the Bond franchise and are lured in by the opportunity to destroy it from within.

[bjmdds]

I suspect MGW is taking Aricept unfortunately and has LITTLE to do with anything related to Bond any longer. Broccoli might even have him drugged up just to stay quiet and not protest her egregious decisions.

Urge starring Pierce is rated very badly. 4.5 out of 10 in IMDB. Those movie people are pulling a Seagal on him.

Whatever happened with that mermaid movie?

Urge has 2.3 out of 5 stars in VUDU and 2.5 out of 5 stars in Fandango. It will get lower.

A Seagal route, perhaps.

You could have seen from the trailer that it's the kind of movie that will not recieve "best movie of the year" titles.
Besides Brosnan,the rest of the actors are on the D list. It also stars Ashley Green who was in Twilight and that horrible remake of LOL with Miley Cyrus. I honestly didn't expect much praise.

Based on the title when it was announced, I knew it's not going to fare very well.

[bjmdds]

FBF, get excited and place all of your new energies on an actor like Aidan. He has the look you want and will do well in the genre you pay to see.

It's no Captain America:Civil War. FBF's ID sequel is not looking like anything huge either......... VS. It's not even close who would make the better choice as the 7th 007
