Apples and oranges Sony has no rights to really anything bond related and remember dr. No- I think for your eyes only was all UA Octopussy-die another day was mgm and UA and casino royale - spectre is UA mgm and sony
Not really since because of the MGM/UA merger way back when and at the moment MGM owns UA.
The thing is that the distributor change to Sony was fine when this started because of the rebooted nature of the story - they currently hold the rights to the Craig films up to SPECTRE, Sony and MGM are co-financing and Sony is co-producing with EON.
Wait, is this official? Bond 26 will be Craig's last?
No.
You don't need to worry. Statham will never be Bond.
I hope so RC7. "My names Bond, James F@*king Bond, Guvna" no thanks.
Earlier i already said Fox kind of steps a way and is taken over by Universal. Fox be respossible before for Features and posters. Fox releasing the Paramount/Universal/dreamworks animated movies like Kung Fu Panda now, whyle previously Paramount/Universal releasing them. Spectre it is already confirmd MGM/Universal wil do cinema release and MGM/Sony wil like Casino Royale wil release first DVD/BD release. Bond 25 wil possible then released by MGM/Warner. MGM/Warner working before on The hobbit. That sound like Universal was choosen only because Fox left.But i think it is more. My feeling is that Spectre wil feel more Universal, this you see also with the fact Mi5 using same people/countrys. Like at time of Casino Royale Sony in first place. Whyle Fox stil producing the features for CR. QOS and Skyfall both be released on BD/DVD by Fox.
I think we wil miss Fox a lot of after Bond 25, next year it is 17 years. But i must say, if Warner realy whant there are very good too. We can't denie also that Fox whant to do a step back with sometimes Disney behaviour. Problem is that Warner sometimes there ignore The Netherlands also with new releases (No Digibook releases / No Batman 1966 series, we must wait 6 years before i can buy Batman boxset with first 4 movies and we stil waiting on Super-Man.), there using low audiotrack on there dvd's (Whyle re-release of Casino Royale happend this too), using Dolby True HD tracks (Batman movies are better then expect.) or give us HD-Ma 5.1 track but then others country's 7.1 track, not giving us a bonus disc if others get it. Fox is expensive but Warner even more. Other cons: Sometimes there don't release at all or there don't have intrest and giving rights to others who ignore us. To contuned on this: I get idea there not realy have much trust any more in BD. There are more lazy in making this avaible those days then 1 or 1,5 years a go then Fox. Focus be on highlights/new movies. This is because there are more demendind things like Disney. For example it wil take 2,5-3,5 years before some movies be on tv. Christopher Nolan working for them. There wait to long to make sequels, whyle there look like on previous movie. Is big suporter of digital filming and Imax.
But Fox are the one that not making a BD release for Side Effects and Hitcock and it look like there wil not releasing X-men First Future Past Rogue Cut at all like Disney did with Night Crawler.
No. Tactically the best moment for Craig to get out is Bond 25 if there finish with Camile/Felix. If this not delayd to Bond 26. Bond 26 wil be optional then.. Worse thing to is quite with Spectre. New Bond i not expect earlier then 2022. This means there can be 4-5 years after Bond 25 in 2017/2018.
That how I feel about Bond now. To be fair, it's not just Craig, but also how the part has been written.
My cinematic Bond fix for this year will happen on June 28th.
Much as I like Craig as Bond, I agree with you. Craig's interpretation is far closer to what Statham would bring than say Connery or Moore.
How is it, @SaintMark? I haven't seen that one, or 'Pillaged'.
I like that idea.
Until Craig is formally replaced by EON, we're in for an endless number of actors who fancy themselves the next Bond. I still think the next Bond is on nobody's radar yet, maybe not even EON's.
Agreed. To a point. He, whoever he is, may have been mentioned fleetingly in pub conversations, but I agree that it won't be someone on the tabloid radar yet. The whole 'next Bond' bollocks is ever-present, unfortunately. It does annoy me that people are sucked into what is essentially a pointless dialogue.
Remember Craig was in Archangel a year before CR and had been popping up on TV quite a bit beforehand, as long as Hughes stays relatively under the radar and not get too big I think he might be up for consideration.
I remember tipping Craig after seeing him in Layer Cake so this who I'm going for, not saying it will happen though.
Although I'm happy for Craig to continue as long as he does, I'm pretty sure if Dalton was in these films certain people wouldn't be so critical of this era as they are.
Lets face it if they'd made the Dalton films without the theme the gadgets and all the trimming like the first 2 Craig films they'd be pretty generic, especially LTK which would have looked like some cheap Lethal Weapon/ Die Hard knock off.
They'd be pretty far from what you associate with Bond, proving some people just want familiar cliches and elements to remind them, never mind storyline or characters. Sling all that at the screen, that is why some Daltonites think the Brosnan era feels like a Bond film more than the Craig era, imagine those films without those elements.
As for Statham he's nothing like Craig, Craig has range and subtlety, Jason is as one dimensional as they come.
I liked it and JeLo is once more doing one of her better roles.
I can see it, but almost a period version. He could work, but I think it depends on how he matures over the next eight years. He could potentially work really well. What's bizarre is that, like DC, he's from Chester, which as a Cheshire boy would make me happy.
Really? I'd have Dan Stevens and Jack O'connell ahead of him at this point. I love Hoult, but his eyebrows need their own agent.
