Not too worried about Cary's process or workload. Likely challenging, yes -- but exciting at the same time! He will have had a 5-month pre-production window from announcement to the start of shooting (at least). Not a "fat" Bond schedule by any m…

I agree about feeling more excitement for Fukunaga vs. Boyle. I was pleased with Boyle as the choice and even intrigued -- my appetite for something fresh, different, and edgy made me a little more comfortable with some of the eccentricity I also…

I'd consider both Beyonce and Lady Gaga to be excellent choices for the title song. Amazing voices, the built-in brand following to guarantee a chart-topper, and would certainly earn attention from the Academy. I think Bond would be happy to have…

With Cary at the helm, I'm confident the film will be anything but a cliche.

@peter raises many excellent points about Canada's suitability logistically -- it's a desirable place for a production of Bond's size right now, for many reason. No concerns there. As a stand-in for other locations -- no concern there either. Ver…

Not sure how much (if anything) Newman had to do with Smith's song. That tune will always bug me a bit. I've always thought it's a beautiful piece musically, just so conflicted -- fast/slow, low/high, light/heavy -- it never settles into a rhythm…

Canadian weather (and the climate) can vary wildly depending on where you are, but: If their aim is to capture winter scenes, a March start is potentially leaving it a little late for most of the southern parts of the country. Not to say you can'…

Given that Annapurna is only tapped to distribute Bond 25 domestically, the film's actual production shouldn't be at risk. I can't see Universal, especially, letting that happen. They're a powerhouse and have already successfully navigated one pr…

So many possibilities. -The era of the invisible/stealth vehicle should say buried, indeed. But the era of the flying vehicle (stay with me) might not be as far fetched as it seems, if it were executed with a sense of—to borrow from Dick Donner—'…

It's a very strange thing. I love Tom's work on SF, but I'd agree -- very modular, very scored "to the scene" in almost all cases. And yet, being such a strong advocate myself for the consistent, continuous, theme-based approach we're attributing…

EDIT: Hah. Depends on which photo. Every time I see him, he's the image of debonair! I would agree, though, Bond music isn't in a particularly dire position. Actually, I often feel lonely in my opinion that Tom Newman's work on Skyfall was very s…

I'm looking forward to casting news, but most of my anticipation is geared toward the composer announcement. Sadly, it may be the one we wait longest for -- although Newman was confirmed (I believe) at both the initial press conferences for SF an…

Bold prediction about Daniel Craig's onscreen fitness level, circa February 2020: He'll walk on the screen, and we'll believe he's...James Bond. ;)

I can't quite pick a side in the "James Bond should/shouldn't" die argument. I'm open to anything. I just want them to tell us a good story about 007. It doubt it would be as simple as "Bond dies." (For real). Continuity plans aside, it would be …

Interesting piece here. https://www.indiewire.com/2018/09/daniel-craig-bond-25-finale-cary-fukunaga-1202005592/ This writer basically says that Craig desires a very FRWL-inspired finale to his tenure and speaks a bit about the pathway the conc…

Great points, @peter. The only thing I know for sure is that one can't properly judge a thing until they've seen the film. Myself included. So I'm hoping we can all share in the happiness that things are back on track and we're headed for an inte…

Indeed. I'm happy to see so many Bond fans happy today. It's been a rough month and we all needed a win. Fukunaga is just such a terrific choice. I'm so looking forward to diving deeper into his filmography as we approach Bond 25. I was enthus…
