This is his last. And I think they had to throw money on him to return this time. 

They have really fucked up the Craig run. Sony/the Brocolis have had some real problems starting up these films.

How do you figure they messEd up the Craig run?

They have had problems getting the movies off the ground, they have had problems with scripts. Craig has not been happy with the problems/tempo.

Casino Royale came out in 2006. This will be the fifth Craig film and it comes out in 2020. Between QoS (underrated) and Skyfall (overrated) I think it was 4 years. Between this one and Spectre, there will have been 4 and a half years. 

Brosnan had roughly 2 years between his films.

As I said in the very post you quoted: "Sony/the Brocolis have had some real problems starting up these films. "

EDIT: Guess the post above can be considered a spoiler by some - even though it seems to be the premiss of the film. Which should not be considered a spoiler. It should show up in the trailers and marketing etc.

While Daniel Craig is set to reprise his role as James Bond in the next film, the franchise is set for a shake-up, with reports claiming that black British actor Lashana Lynch has been cast as 007 – taking over Bond’s secret agent number after his character leaves M16.

It’s a dumb idea jumping on this metoo movement

charlize Theron did Atomic Blonde last year, I enjoyed it

love kill bill

love women, love women in empowering roles

not this, this is an obvious placating move.

I would wait and see how it is handled. 

And who cares what reason lies behind it? As long as it makes a great film in the end?

Poor Idris Elba

maybe in his next life

when people think 007

they think the different actors who have played James Bond, beautiful Bond Girls, Bond Villains


Most Bond fans are older, I just see a backlash from the hardcore fans

I think the premiss of someone else having gotten the codename and a retired James Bond coming back is quite nifty.

It's better than the worn out "Bond, you have to go rouge and solve this outside of the MI6" like every Bond and Mission Impossible movie does nowadays zzz

They should have kept it a secret until the movie came out to boot

they are fucking this up Royally

I agree, would have been a nice surprise. Too bad so many studios and producers want to spoil things theses days.

Spoiler Alert:

Sean Connery is the King of England in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

I, too, am excited by this premise.  I think it has been clearly established that a 007 agent is listened to kill and that there is more than one 007 agent.

I sort of want to agree, however, by making this information available before launch, it may pique interest in the franchise with some demographics that wouldn’t previously considered seeing a Bond movie in the theatre.  I guess it’s a bit of a fine line.

Isn't it the "00" part that signifies licensed to kill, and the last number the specific agent? That makes Bond 007, and other agents would be 001, 002, etc. The series has had a 006 before. 

I haven't seen a Bond film since Skyfall but am interested to see what comes of this.

You are correct Often.  I can only plead exhaustion.  That explains the spelling errors as well lol😜

That is correct. 

But now Bond is retired, so another agent gets his number. 

But - HE COMES BACK!

Saying you haven't seen a Bond film since Skyfall sort of implies there have been a few sequels, but there has only been Spectre after Skyfall. Which sucked. But this one ties into that one, so you should watch it - and the one-shot opening is nice.

And people saying they should have kept this a secret... I mean, without having read the script and knowing how it is handled and how it is portrayed I would say a judgment on that is impossible to make.

I would have thought they would retire the number, sort of like retiring a jersey. It's not like they're going to run out of numbers

They would run out of 00-numbers for their 00-agents? There are only 9 or 10.

I believe numbers go higher than 10, in my experience. Some go quite a bit higher.

Hmm. Seems the movies have established there can be a "0012" etc. Always pictured it as being 001-009. And all I've heard of is 006 in Goldeneye, and wasn't there a 008 in Octopussy.

In Ian Fleming's James Bond novels and the derived films, the 00 Section of MI6 is considered the secret service's elite. A 00 (typically read "Double O" and denoted in Fleming's novels by the letters "OO" rather than the digits "00") is a field agent that holds a licence to kill in the field, at his or her discretion, to complete any mission. The novel Moonraker establishes that the section routinely has three agents concurrently; the film series, beginning with Thunderball, establishes the number of 00 agents at a minimum of 9, with the likelihood of more.
