  • The press release that goes out in connection with the news conference, I'm guessing, will also confirm Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are among the writers. Technically speaking, nothing about the script has been announced officially since the MGM …
  • Also, re: big press conferences. In general, and not just with Bond movies they're a mixed bag . Different media outlets have different agendas. Some entertainment sites are light and frothy, so the questions their representatives reflect that. Oth…

  • This is the press release that went out the same day as the 2011 Skyfall news conference. My guess is something similar will go out the day of the Bond 24 "photo call." http://www.sonypictures.com/corp/press_releases/2011/11_11/110311_bond.html

  • Saw this earlier in the thread: (snip) Have you guys at times took into account "new" or "young" Bond fans? I mean, let's face it, the Bond fan base is also changing. And if, for this particular post I can be as black-and-white as @Matt_Helm, CR…
