Speaker 1: One minute mark, Yes, a gentleman.
Speaker 2: So, oh, we're.
Speaker 1: Gonna be stepping over into the secret service. Oh Bond,
James Bond. So there's a whole fiasco going on with
the rights and everything. It has been absolutely chaos and mayhem.
And so it looks like here we go. We got
Amazon basically leading the charge with this. Now they're top
choice for Bond, not the actor, but basically helming the project,
Christopher Nolan, and it seems that there is mutual interest
actually involved here. The thing is, though, there's another huge
project that is basically occupying Nolan's time right now called
The Odyssey, and we all have seen in the cast
list for that it's through the roof.
Speaker 2: So what happens here?
Speaker 1: Do you do you think that Nolan makes the time?
Speaker 2: Will it?
Speaker 1: Will it happen? It's gonna be like after the Odyssey?
Is Amazon gonna wait for Nolan's schedule to freeup? They're
gonna at someone else? What do you think is the
itinerary of events here?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't really know the.
Speaker 3: I don't want to say believability, because I do believe
that he is their their top choice for that maybe
just like the actuality of it, happening. In my mind,
I would say, I'm well, first of all, I'm totally
down for the pairing.
Speaker 2: I love Christopher Nolan.
Speaker 3: He's probably my favorite director, if not top three for sure.
Speaker 2: I just love his projects.
Speaker 3: He's just so great at telling these like big, vast,
big idea type stories, a lot of action, A lot
of his projects a lot of just drama and twists
and whatnot, And I feel like that's just ripe for
a James Bond project. I especially just like coming off
a tenant, it seemed like he always wanted to do
a James Bond project, so that was kind of his
version of it with his own you know, Nolan weird
time stuff going on in there. But for him to
actually do it, I'm sure he's a massive fan of
the Bond franchise, so I'm sure it would be a
big passion project for him, and I think that he
would do an incredible job. I think all of his
films are great, if not amazing. So yeah, that's kind
of my own personal biases of how I would feel
about the project, But in terms of it actually happening
and how it would happen, I think it would just
come after I don't think there's a big rush to get.
Speaker 2: These Bond projects out.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm misunderstood in that, but and maybe because it's
transitioning over to Amazon's hands versus you know, the Veggie
Tails over at the Broccoli family, whatever those characters are.
Speaker 2: But I think that they would. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of in a weird spot here because I
feel like my initial thoughts is they would want to
wait and do it properly. But it's also Amazon that
is some money uh, just a money farm, and they
just want to push out projects and make money twenty
four to seven, So maybe they would rush it, and
maybe that would deter the quality of it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm I'm pretty unsure.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty neutral I think on this overall, other than
just the fact of having Nolan in there would be
exciting for me. But I just think it would come
after Odyssey, and if it is the number one choice
and the like, we really want Nolan to do it,
then I would say they would just wait until Odyssey
is over. But it seems like we've already seems like
they're deep in that project already. Maybe I'm misunderstood and
believing that, but I don't think it would be too
far down the road. And I just feel like Nolan's
such a fucking busy guy, Like like is like.
Speaker 2: Last projects come out.
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, he's gonna chill for a while, and
it's like, no, He's got Audissey coming out with all
like every actor known to man in this project. It's like, oh, okay, Yeah,
this guy just doesn't fucking sleep. But I don't know,
he's kind of in the prime of his life right now,
so just keep squeezing him out.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He Uh, he's just dedication to just going like
movie to movie to movie is crazy. And he's got
a pretty consistent track record of every like three to
four years.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Even I guess too, because he did let's see like
The Prestige two thousand and six, The Dark Knight two
thousand and eight, Inception twenty ten, Dark Knight Rises twenty twelve,
Interstellar twenty fourteen. Three years later, he's done Dunkirk. Three
years later, he does Tenant, three years later, it does Hoppenheimer. Uh,
and now three years later twenty twenty six, July seventeen,
he's gonna have The Odyssey. So I said four years No,
it's more it's two to three. Really, Uh, that's crazy.
So that would mean then after I'm assuming twenty twenty six,
we could see James Bond project moving forward at Amazon
with his schedule kind of clearing up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, release wise, i'd say after twenty twenty six, but
I'm sure maybe even throughout twenty twenty six he could
start working on it, or there could be discussion as
there could be writings and script conversations and whatnot unfolding.
It's funny because there it seems like a lot of
directors have kind of dropped off the map a little
bit when it was unveiled that Amazon is in control
and kind of took over the mantle. Here the Long
Legs director, because he was basically there was a Redditt
am a that was happening, and he was asked, Osgoode
Perkins is his name? He was asked, are you open
to directing a Bond movie or trilogy? If so, who
would you cast as your version of Bond? And he
immediately responded and said no, because fuck Jeff Bezos. So no, no.
Speaker 2: The Long Legs director. Okay, I was gonna say, I'm like, okay,
never mind. Then I don't think no one's gonna do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, latest development just ships all over them.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they were pitching it around.
Speaker 1: I guess just a lot of other directors just kind
of like they're like, ah, no, we're we're no longer
excited about the the idea of helming a double seven movie.
Did I say, uh uh detall Bezos?
Speaker 2: Am I saying that wrong?
Speaker 1: Bezos?
Speaker 2: Bezos? I think Bezos is how I say it. But
I've heard Bezos. Oh so maybe he's laughing. He's talking
to me.
Speaker 1: He's laughing because he's typing in how I said it, Bezos?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said Bezos. I think most people say Jeff
Bezos Bezos. Yeah. I think that's how do you mostly
hear it? You normally hear it Bezos. I hear I
hear Bezos.
Speaker 1: But I say, I I panic, And I just said.
Speaker 2: Bess Canadian. You know that's how we talk.
Speaker 3: We say Bezos say we're Southern Canadian. Yeah, donofrio, Jennifer Conna, Lelly,
whatever the hell you called.
Speaker 2: Her, that's right.
Speaker 1: I told madis So that after we watched Top Gun
Maverick the other day, and she was laughing.
Speaker 2: Oh, you watched the other night. Man, I watched you
watch that too. Fuck. I love that movie so much.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, man, you're missing out. Yeah that that end,
like the mission just gets me going, Oh, I just
want to go join the Air Force. Yeah, put me
in the F eighteen man, I'm ready.
Speaker 1: I played flight simulator fifth Gen fighters. But yeah, so
I don't think I have anything else to add Just
I think Nolan doing a James Bond project would be
absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. He's always like, is that Canadian?
Just different pronunciation of both? Okay, you know we're different
up here.
Speaker 2: It's my lack there of.
Speaker 1: I don't know, classiness, fair, it's your own signature, that's right.
Speaker 2: Also, so it's.
Speaker 3: Funnier if I'm picturing the Long Legs director saying that Perkins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, anything else you have to add.
Speaker 2: On to that or move to our trade.
Speaker 1: There are discussions.
Speaker 3: I'm honestly more intrigued on who they cast as Bond
more so than the director of the project, just because
I mean, directors do most of the work. But but
in my mind, the character, like the character is the
James Bond. So I'm I'm just really intrigued on who
that is and obviously massive Daniel craigfan, but thinking back
on it of just kind of where his career was
before he was cast as James Bond, like he was
nowhere near the level that he is now. Obviously James
Bond was a big part of that. But yeah, it
can be a role that really makes people's careers. So
hopefully they find some juicy young talent in there. Would
you want a younger actor? Well, just seven fifty four
year old James Bond who's just like crusty around the end?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, how many new actors does Nolan really He.
Speaker 3: Knows every actor of the world, okay, and they're all
so he's just gonna he's he's on the set of Odyssey,
He's like, hey, you want to be you want to
be James Bond?
Speaker 1: Is my is my Bond. I don't know, like I
feel like he'll go with someone no, because I don't
know how much Sday is really going to have with
the project with you have these other the other three
kind of like so closely attached to the hip to
their their Bond franchise. So I think you'll probably get, yeah,
a new unknown kind of person who will be up
and coming, and then I think Christopher Nolan, though if
he had his say, he would probably be like, you know,
let's get someone that I've worked with before. Let's get
Christian Bale in. There is is James Bond.
Speaker 2: Or something, James Bond, Christian Bale. That's right, the twilight
of his career. I don't know if that's harsh. He's
he's still great, you know, he's still cooking. We can
move on.
