I might not claim it's better than Goldeneye, but it's still a pretty damn good movie all the same. Strictly IMO, of course, YMMV, [Insert Some Other Acronym].

I wouldn't disagree with that, and I'd suggest LTK and TND are in a different bracket to The Man With the Golden Gun and Quantum of Solace as well, but I don't think there's a cast iron argument to be made that either is better than the film that preceded them (though I'm sure someone will make an argument.)
We all have expectations about what Amazon will put out there, but for me at least if they gave us a Tomorrow Never Dies I wouldn't be super unhappy.
Interesting list.Some rumours, rather than solid news here. Interestingly, if true, it seems that the priority is to get a script and director, then think about casting the actor to fill the tux and carry the PPK.

Wow!
That is the possible upside to the Amazon deal, and may even allow for us to get more Bond content without burning anyone out. Maybe there's a "prime" Bond film every 3/4 years starting Aaron Taylor-Johnson (or whoever) but between them we get random one off stuff like this! I'm sure there are a lot of actors who wouldn't want to commit to playing 007 for ten or fifteen years but would jump at the chance to play him once.

Yup, I’ve been saying for years that I’d love to see this - I often use the various Sherlock Holmes adaptations as a comparator
Though there’s also the Jackman/RDJ/Sebastian Stan models.
