Thanks for the new thread!

I like how Madeliene is coming back in the new movie b/c I really liked her character in Spectre

The Shadow Strikes

Well Daniel and Barbara are on good terms (he is after all the first Bond she personally hand picked), so if she wants him back, and he wants to come back, then he'll be back for Bond#26. But something tells me this will be his final Bond. SF was seen as a high point in the series, while SP is generally looked on as a disappointment, so my guess is Daniel didn't want to end his run on SP. He is gambling on this one being better than SP, so he can leave the series in a good place.

As for Madeline.... I have a feeling that Bond#25 is going to combine a little OHMSS/YOLT. Don't forget we also have Ana de Armas and Lashana Lynch as Bond Girls. If I were a betting man, I would bet on either Armas or Lynch being the primary Bond Girl, with the other being the secondary Bond Girl, while Seydoux rounds out the 3 as the tertiary Bond Girl. Mind you, I might have that completely wrong...

saw that there was an explosion on set recently but glad to hear that nobody was seriously injured

The Shadow Strikes

Yeah I saw that. This is the 3rd time over the years, that there has been an accident at the 007 stage. As you said, at least the only injury was minor.

Crystal Clear

Every time I hear about this movie, an accident is mentioned Wishing everyone who works on it a safe and successful filming process

I don't know much about the new cast but I do remember Ana de Armas. She starred in a Spanish TV show years ago that I watched, called El Internado.

I didn't like Lea Seydoux's character in Spectre

The Shadow Strikes

Ana is going to go down as one of the most stunning Bond Girls, I just hop she won't be wasted like Monica Bellucci was.

Crystal Clear

I updated the OP

My thoughts exactly. Bellucci deserved a bigger role in SPECTRE. I really didn't care for the character of Madeleine.

Ana de Armas was good in El Internado and her character had a tragic ending. Last thing I saw her in was the movie Knock, Knock and it was a bizarre watch.

I just added the gun barrel sequence to the OP as well

Crystal Clear

Good idea!

The Shadow Strikes

That gunbarrel should have been used for Skyfall (to celebrate 50 years of Bond).

Tina

Has everyone seen all the Bond movies? Your favorite?

atwoodsmariano

I haven’t seen any of the pre-Daniel Craig movies but I want to fix that

Tina

You should I've seen them all. I bought the whole collection for hubby one year for his birthday. Our least favorite is Moonraker (1979)... Its so comical because it tries to mimic the very popular Star Wars (1977).
