It seems that there is another star returning to Bond 25. When the production announced that Lea Seydoux would be reprising her role from Spectre people wondered if that meant that Christoph Waltz would be returning as Blofeld in the new movie as well. That seemed to be the case for some time but now that production has started The Guardian [confirmed by Deadline] is reporting that Waltz was spotted on the set of the new movie

The decision to make this movie a more direct sequel to Spectre is interesting considering that the movie did not do well critically but did end up being a box office success even if it underperformed domestically. The Bond movies are usually one-off stories with very limited continuity but Spectre changed that. It’ll be interesting to see how this movie is received after such a troubled production. We got a first look at the new movie last month in a behind-the-scenes reel.

The idea that modern Bond (Craig) were not outright sequels of each other until "Spectre" is absurd. If you watch all of them back-to-back it is clear they are all part of a larger arc for Bond a as character. Spectre did not change that at all as Quantum of Solace is a direct sequel to Casino Royale. Skyfall ties tightly into Spectre. It is clear that the Bond movies before Spectre were pretty clearly linked.

its a tired, old franchise - the last tedious, creaking limping paradoy of the old fims showed that.

Put it down and restart it with a new actor (or actress) and make it fun... don't pretend it means something - watch other action films in a new age get it right and learn from them

I like the grittier, darker version of bond. M's speech about "our enemies don't wear uniforms" in Skyfall is one of my dark pleasures regarding the series. Skyfall is one of my top 5 movies ever.

Daniel Craig's Bond (besides Spectre… yech) has been a highlight of my recent movie watching. I would gush like a squeaking school-boy, but I'm trying to keep a little dignity here.

**Backfire**

Bond movies are like Star Trek movies, every other is good one. So we're due for good movie. Unless it's like Bond equivalent of Nemesis...

Since it's Craig coming back from retirement to Bond one last time, it is at least interesting meta plotline that the movie is about Bond being called back from retirement one last time. Unless you remember when same thing was done with Sean Connery and it was terrible. Oh well.

Apparently the hyper racist parts of the internet are upset that "insiders" are leaking that there will be a new 007, and she's black.

Will be very interesting to see how they handle all the situations (ie, why does this woman, who is now 007, and presumably a fething capable killer in her own right, need old dinosaur man James Bond's help?) With other rumors of Christoph Waltz sightings, this could really shape up to be an interesting film.

**Ahtman**

Hell we don't even know that she was even the next 007. Bond points out when he gets the job in Casino Royale that double ohs have a short life expectancy.

You know I was literally thinking the other day, what would a Jamie Bond movie be like XD

Be interesting to see it played completely straight, just with the sexs of the typical characters reversed. And I'm including Money Penny, who should be a buff super secretary who don't take no nonsense cause M's schedule is M's schedule and you can just deal with it

It would end up being funny while being completely serious, just because of the juxtaposition.

They'll be happy when she's dead and Bond is back in MI6 as 007 by the end if the film.
