if they're rebooting for us, it's with foreknowledge that agent 007 james bond is dead

guess they could rename him "jameis bonde" and skirt that whole "we already know how he dies" thing

smh

"jameis bonde"

Great now we have to have endless discussions on if he should be running missions instead of Dirk Cahr

Is the movie titled “Arkansas”?

 

[GrandAdmiral]

From Kick-arse to James Bond. Quite a leap there.

 

[GeauxWhoDats]

I had to google who he was. I liked him in Bullet Train.

Bond 26 is in the works​

"The popular James Bond film series is undergoing a major shift for the next installment, as Daniel Craig's five-movie run ended with 2021's No Time To Die. That means someone else, for the first time since 2006's Casino Royale, is stepping up to play James Bond. The producers have also talked about a "reinvention" of the character for the inevitable next movie, which will be the 26th since the series first appeared on the scene back in 1962 with Dr. No."

Disappointed that this was not the 1st response.

I personally don't see him as Bond, but we just watched Bullet Train and I LOVED that movie!

I mean Bond has been around since the 60s so the Bond Craig played was obviously not the Connery Bond, I don't even think the Moore Bond was the Connery Bond. And the Dalton Bond wasn't the Moore Bond, etc.

The films rarely acknowledge prior events. Although the Craig films did with reoccuring characters / organizations (Blofield / SPECTRE) and going to Vesper's grave - who appeared in Casino Royale.

Edit: Well reading a Reddit thread it appears I'm kinda wrong - even the earlier films do mention prior events. There does seem to be a "consensus" that the Craig Bond was however a "hard reboot". I don't see how you can trace the Brosnan Bond go all the way back to the Connery Bond, because with the films mostly considered to occur in the "present day", thats spans ~40 years from Dr. No to Die Another Day. Bond was normally portrayed as someone in the age range of 35-50, with Moore being on the upper end. Even being generous and saying Bond started his career at 25, you're still talking about a nearly 65 year old as some martial arts bad arse.

You could probably consider the Moore Bond as a continuity for Connery (as well as Lazenby), and indeed Moore was portrayed as being older, but you start to get dicey with Dalton.

Peronsally I would consider the Dalton/Brosnan Bond as another "soft" reboot. The broader point is there was rarely overarching plots across movies. Most of the "continuing bad guys", such as Blofield, were with the same Bond actor.

Amazon has bought the Bond rights. Wasn't sure which article to choose for this bump. Figured I'd go with this one ....

Jeff Bezos asks fans who they'd 'pick as the next Bond' as Amazon takes control of the franchise

The Broccoli's were prickly, but they treated the franchise with respect and took managing it seriously.

It will probably suck now that it belongs to another mega corporation. Amazon will strip mine it for Prime content. Get ready for innumerable spinoffs and prequels all headed by bottom of the barrel writing and production "talent" that works cheap.

Yeah…unfortunately, that’s how it looks like it will go.
