Bond 26 (2024)

I’d include Joshua Zetumer as a uncredited writer that Forster brought in after the strike ended.

There’s a lot of stuff about QOS I hope we learn more of. Purvis & Wade have said that none of their work ever made it to the final cut. The only thing it has in common with their first drafts is just basic ideas of Bond infiltrating the unnamed organization.

I just want to see the deleted Mr. White scene from the end of QUANTUM.

I want the Marc Forster and Cary Fukunaga commentaries!

After just listening to her new song for TOP GUN: MAVERICK, I got an idea -- Lady Gaga for BOND 26's title song... and for the villain, bringing some "second half of HOUSE OF GUCCI" psychotic energy.

I always thought "Poker Face" would have made a good alternate title song for CR if they wanted something more pop oriented.

But yes, they ought to get her.

I think she could handle a couple different Bond song "types," depending on the direction they want to go.

Easy money would be that EON wants another ballad. It got them three Oscar statues in a row, compared to the two rock songs that didn't make much of a splash despite how "You Know My Name" is well regarded.

I'd welcome Lady Gaga both as an acting presence and a musician on a future film.

I would like hear a GaGa Bond theme. I can easily see her as a Fatima Blush like bad Bond girl.

Barbara Broccoli says filming is at least two years away. Needs a script and director before they can actually select their Bond.

I wonder if a certain longtime Bond writer's recent scandal has forced them to delay to, y'know, find a new writer.

Also the scandal of the latest director, who was rumored to be returning before all of that heinous shit was revealed.

What's the situation with which writer?

Oh yeah. Forgot about that one. I will definitely admit to cultural bias, so when some non-white dude does something heinous, I have to double-take, like ohhh...everyone is shit, got it.

Maybe they hand the reins over to Phoebe-Wall--sorry, can't finish that because they never would, sadly.

Paul Haggis was arrested in Italy two weeks ago for sexual assault.

Oh. He hasn't been involved with the franchise for a while, I don't believe.

He did an uncredited draft of NO TIME TO DIE in Fall 2018, right after Fukunaga came on board. Basically a punch-up draft to the old pre-Boyle script from Purvis & Wade.
