  • It makes a ton of sense to invite the world's press to Matera, I think @Pierce2Daniel is correct in his assumptions about what will happen. Not only is it that glamorous Bond-type location which will help sell the film, but (if rumors are to be b…

  • I mean, c'mon. Just screams James Bond movie.
  • Holy hell. That's a lot of crew and investment for the Scottish sequence, certainly more than I was expecting considering that the filmmakers didn't even mention it as a major filming location in the initial press. Certainly seems like more than …
  • Terrific development. Ripe for drama, comedy—all the ingredients one needs to surround Bond with interesting characters and relationships to navigate. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this isn't a new idea. It's a recycled one the…

  • Oof. Great-looking suit on Bond.
  • An additional (key) nugget in Perez's updated story: https://theplaylist.net/christoph-waltz-bloefeld-bond-25-20190711/ (Spoiler)
  • Great news that Waltz is back as Blofeld. I love that EON's sticking to their guns with the continuity they've built and are aiming to finish out the Craig era they way they've clearly been hoping and planning to for awhile now. I would have been…

  • There's a lot of variance in Romer's scores. Check out his Far Cry 5 work if you want something closer to conventional action music. Not a plucked string in sight in some of those pulse-pounding tracks.

  • That's interesting. Quite a lot of film in front of Bond meeting his MI6 friends, then. They really seem to be playing with the Bond 'structure' here, which I suppose makes sense given that it starts in such an unorthodox place for the character. …
