James Bond distribution rights[]
Although it was rumoured that WB, Paramount or Fox will grap distribution rights to the Bond films. But I have to said in my research that Disney could be the only company to found the easiest way to buy distribution rights to the James Bond film series through Walt Disney Pictures, much like Marvel and Lucasfilm.
But, we'll see :-) WilliamRocheGuilty1 (talk) 13:35, November 8, 2015 (UTC)
If Walt Disney gains distribution and rights to the Bond films, adjoining Metro Goldwyn Mayer, will Walt Disney edit frames of the previous Bond films and current ones and censor out any sexual innuendos, scenes of violence and sex, or bad language or are they going to leave everything as it always been in the Bond Films? I'm asking this because Walt Disney is mostly comprised of movies that are less violent and sexual than Bond so I don't fully trust Disney distributing Bond with MGM or at all until my question is answered.

- Disney owned Miramax films when Pulp Fiction was released. I'd say the Bond films are safe as far as content goes. MrBelpitsLegs (talk) 18:10, January 11, 2016 (UTC)
New Bond Actor[]
Is this article really a good place to list who fans would like to play Bond next? There are so many different actors among the fans. MrBelpitsLegs (talk) 20:01, February 19, 2016 (UTC)
The Producers Better Make Bond 25 really execllent, better than SPECTRE, better than Skyfall and it has to make more worldwide gross than Skyfall.

Tabloids as sources[]
I notice that the use of "Shatterhand" as a working title can be traced back to the British tabloid newspaper The Mirror. I strongly advise exercising extreme caution with such publications as their level of journalism is notoriously sketchy. Said article also asserted that Never Dream of Dying by Raymond Benson was the basis for the film's plot - which has been flat-out discredited by Benson himself. Secondly, Bond films typically are internally known by the prefix 'B-##', and I find it hard to believe they've settled on a proper name this early on in production. Please properly vet and cite all references in this article, paying especial concern with rumors - always follow them back to the source, regardless of how many publications assert them.

Influences and adaptation[]
Although they never made a big deal of it, it's evident that NTTD was a stealth adaptation of You Only Live Twice, incorporating the island fortress of the villain, the concept of Bond believed dead and M mourning him (I think the remembrance scene might even quote the novel but I can't be certain), the idea of Bond no longer being 007 (in the novel he's promoted to 7777), and while not from Fleming, the later Raymond Benson short story "Blast from the Past" established that Bond had a child by Kissy Suzuki. The general world-weariness aspect of Bond in the film - something fans criticized - is also reflected in the novel which Fleming wrote when he was likely seeing the final curtain approaching. There are also aspects of On Her Majesty's Secret Service incorporated - the obvious one being the recurring phrase "we have all the time in the world". I saw a post from 2018 above dismissing the Shatterhand working title report as being from a tabloid, though it was addressed by Variety in 2019 - a dismissal of the rumour by Barbara Broccoli, to be sure, but a non-tabloid acknowledgement nonetheless. And Shatterhand, of course, was the alias used by Blofeld in YOLT, which makes it a rather convenient coincidence that the film would have so many notes from YOLT. There's enough here for a section. 23skidoo (talk) 14:58, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
