I don't remember any specific sorts of links other than Bond and the other main characters. However I could be wrong because I saw some of them so many years ago now and can't remember them exactly.

Not directly linked but certain characters and organisations make repeated returns. SPECTRE, SMERSH, Blofeld etc etc. The main villain would often be connected to SPECTRE but the films were not direct sequels to each other.
Seeing as this has turned more into a James Bond thread whilst there is no news on a new Bond I see George Lazenby has announced he is retiring completely even down to no longer signing autographs. I believe he had a bad fall last year which may have prompted his decision. He was always a very colourful character who made some odd career decisions. He was also never short of an opinion to two. Famously there was beef between him and Pierce Brosnan and in 2022 he made some inappropriate and homophobic comments that got him axed from a music tour.
Well, well well .... look who's in the frame.
I only noticed him a year or two ago when I discovered Miss Scarlett and The Duke and thought he'd be a great choice. Experienced but not well know. 6'2, 38, dark hair and Scottish. What's not to like?NB ... not sure if the link works but it was in the Daily Mail.
Oh interesting.Well, well well .... look who's in the frame.

Take with a pinch of salt, but i really think he is one of the better choices. Unless they really do want to go younger.
It's always been a relatively unknown actor chosen. Not someone who has already hit the A list
I will because there's someone in the frame every other week in the DM however, where I think this differs, is because Stuart Martin is really not well known own at all. It's not like the usual Henry Cavil, James Norton, Arron Taylor Johnson etc etc ... Then again it's not beyond agents and pr departments to throw names in the mix to get publicity for their clients.
I do think he'd be a good choice though.
Completely agree.
I wonder if it's can claim a fee for suggesting him over 2 years ago

If he is chosen you can have the kudos of suggesting it and it's here in black and white to prove it!!
Eon do read all the forums and especially the specific Bond forums. They got quite litigious at one stage because of leaks to the sites.
I think Barbara will be too busy knocking Amazon executives about (metaphorically) at the moment to be too focused on the next Bond actor.
I bet she is. Thank goodness her and Michael have overall control. Amazon want to do all kinds of rit and spin offs with it.
If the 007: Road To A Million thing is anything to go by, I'm not surprised BC is holding on tight to the character.
(Some very positive comments about Stuart Martin under the DM article)
Would be good to have a black/Asian actor this time around. I’d opt for Henry Golding.
I'm surprised they have handed it over to Amazon
I feel like James bond is over for me now, I have no faith that amazon will look after the franchise

Amazon will pump it to death for "content", spin offs, and all that rot. The films struggled to be good even one every few years, Amazon will kill it. Don't think there is any IP they've handled particularly well so far.I'm surprised they have handed it over to Amazon

That's sad but unsurprising. Michael is 83 and wants to retire and I guess Barbara hasn't got the energy or will to fight Amazon every step of the way with every decision.I'm surprised they have handed it over to Amazon

Maybe it's best my James Bond died at the end of No Time To Die after all.
Amazon are just going to flog it to death.
That game show thing they did was pretty poor. And you know it's going to end up as some sort of James Bond universe.
I definitely think James Bond ended with the last movie, although personally it ended with Die Another Day for me

I agree. Although Jack Ryan and Reacher have been good. Which gives me a tiny bit of hope.
But I can see the Britishness of it going
I know most people hate Die Another Day, but I honestly kinda like it for it's sheer naffness, campness, ridiculous story and the attractive Korean guy.That game show thing they did was pretty poor. And you know it's going to end up as some sort of James Bond universe.

The last one I really enjoyed was Skyfall. Spectre started off ok then lost it at the end and No Time To Die was so awful I only watched it once. The only Bond films I've watched once are Quantum of Solace and NTTD.That game show thing they did was pretty poor. And you know it's going to end up as some sort of James Bond universe.

I liked DAD. I even liked the theme tune.I know most people hate Die Another Day, but I honestly kinda like it for it's sheer naffness, campness, ridiculous story and the attractive Korean guy.
For all Daniel Craig was a great Bond, he only had 2 genuinely great films in Casino Royale and Skyfall. Not many big budget, dark, action films could basically do Home Alone as your third act and make it work.
NTTD had a good idea, but was poorly executed. Phoebe Waller-Bridge gave me hope of more humour in the script, was still lacking. And the editor/writer/director that didn't cut/rewrite the scene at the end where M and the others toasted to Bond - what a clunky awful scene that was.
Spectre just was doing gymnastics to integrate Spectre back into the franchise after getting the rights back. Completely stupid.
QoS, writers strike, ruined that before it even started.
