The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

I mean, she won't be the worst Bond girl choice and it would certainly fit with her laser focused career trajectory, but I'd hope for a return to European actresses you've never heard of or someone with genuine acting chops (Florence Pugh, yes please!).

I mean there have been some decent American Bond girls but for every Pam Bouvier there's a Stacy, a Paris,a Christmas and a Jinx...

 

[Set Harth]

Sanchez, you say? Now where have I heard that name before? Hmm..

I imagine that the Sweeney story is clickbait but if there’s a little-known actor as 007, a more recognisable actor as his leading lady would make sense, a la OHMSS.

Take it with a grain of salt, but there's a story on Jezebel saying multiple sources are saying Jeff Besos wants his wife Lauren Sanchez as the next Bond girl.

I feel like Villeneuve would walk if he was forced to give Bezos's wife a significant part in the movie.


Who, other than Bezos, would ever want to look at that plastic surgery monstrosity on a screen?

 

[IMC Headquarters]

For all we know film production is well underway, and Bezos is the latest Blofeld. The wedding was just a cover.

 

[Starkers]

I'm guessing the idea of a tech bros or billionaire Bond villain may be quietly vetoed...

Maybe 007 will go up against crazed Union bosses!

Bezos is more villainous in some respects than Blofeld ever was.

"You expect me to talk?"
"No Mr Bond. I expect you to buy!"

"It's the simplest thing ... to stream more content than a man can possibly consume. (puts Clockwork Orange eyewear on Bond)

Enjoy your binge, Mr. Bond." (Are You Being Served? begins playing on a huge screen behind him)

 

[MarcKyle1964]

"Look after Mr Bond. See that some harm comes to his credit report."

 

[Tallguy]

I really liked Savalas and strongly suspect his Blofeld was at least a partial inspiration for Clancy Brown's Lex in Superman: TAS

I forget if it was Dini or Timm that I was on an AOL thing with almost 30 years ago who confirmed this was the case and said they wasted a lot of time trading OHMSS lines in the recording sessions.

I'm sure she's a nice person in the way people I've never met and know nothing about seem nice, but this screams Pia Zadora's Career.

I'd bet cash money it's glorified cameo at best. She's a former TV reporter and she'll probably play something like that.

In fairness despite pouring millions into her career, Pia Zadora's husband never got a return on investment, either.

Unfortunately, every report I'm reading online says that Bezos wants her "front and center" as the next Bond girl and he's really pushing it to the point that the producers and director are angry with him.
Edit to add.
This is the same individual who had a part in making the new War of the Worlds movie staring Ice Cube that just dropped on Prime and currently has 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

I quite enjoyed war of the world's

It's not new...

Jackie Bezos, mother of Jeff, passed away today at the age of 78.
