  • I see no reason to expect things will be better enough by April that the film will have a chance at coming out. In mid-February we'll be gearing up talk about the "third wave" just in time for it to hit in the spring. The real kicker is -- if a w…
  • I'm done. Until I'm sitting in the actual theatre watching it, I'm just done. I can handle the delay. It makes sense economically. But I cannot begin to fathom why they would generate so much positive momentum this week if this was really in t…
  • I seem to recall seeing a few deluxe soundtrack releases recently (John Powell's Solo for instance), so if there's indeed a lot missing here and the score's well received, I'd bet it's a distinct possibility for the future. Everyone would do well…

  • Yes, I have to say -- quite surprised they've lifted Spectre's verbatim. A little disappointed actually. But I love the orchestration and the punch -- it's also a bit faster, I think. Can't wait to hear more of the rest!
  • WHOA. What a day. Edit: Score's about 70 minutes. A little lighter than I'd hoped but maybe we'll get something expanded in the future. LOVE the Gunbarrel. It's Spectre's, with more oomph.

  • I am almost positive that we are, indeed, hearing the first samples of Zimmer's score in this debut episode! I'm not ashamed to say, as a longtime Bond music fan, I can quickly recognize just about every official cue ever written by ear. The epis…
  • In Some Kind of Hero (which is a phenomenal book every Bond fan should own), Rob Wade says firsthand that he and Neal came up with Skyfall at the 11th hour before one of the MGM script deadlines, when the team had finally landed on a third act but t…
  • I think it's Santiago de Cuba, which is a (relatively) short distance directly across the waters of the Caribbean Sea from...Jamaica.
  • After all we've been through, all we've lost, and all that's been done to bring us this film, I can't even imagine not loving that trailer. Looks brilliant. Can't wait.

  • Loathe as I am to say it out loud, given the escalating situation in the US I've all but emotionally accepted there is no way NTTD can be widely released in 2020. It feels painfully cathartic to say that. And it's going to be thoroughly depressin…
  • I think NTTD has the potential to be one of the most thematically resonant Bonds we've seen in quite some time -- and that's maybe saying something, because all the Craig films have made superhuman efforts to pursue exactly that. And have all done i…

  • There are a series of dominoes that still need to fall in order for the film to come out successfully in November. We aren't seeing marketing yet because they can't yet know if it's 100% go, despite what they're saying. It's highly dependent on w…

  • I feel awful for the filmmaking team, seeing this spoiler just floating out there openly in so many mainstream sources. This film has quite transparently just been an unbelievably difficult haul to get to the screen, and they've battled so hard a…

  • https://twitter.com/jamesbondlive/status/1268296555020386304 The fact that MI6-HQ would go out of its way to Tweet referencing this (forum-specific spoiler discussion, near as I can tell) suggests to me some validation and confirmation that the…
