  • With how much "Spectre" leans into fairy tale tropes, it would've been an interesting move for Bond to actually have lost memories then get restored by the end. Film already a bit too thick though, so probably would've been better off making that to…

  • I don't think he's at the point of his career where he has to do gun-for-hire studio work anymore.

  • I don't think there is the market for a non-EON public domain competing film project. What is most likely to happen after "Casino Royale" enters public domain is microbudget independent projects a la what has happened with Pooh.
  • The desire some people have for a period film confuses me. Fleming didn't write the books period; the books were contemporary to when they were written, and they reflected the changing world. It's such an empty approach to make it period. It would b…

  • I don't think they'll explicitly do remakes, but I think what's more likely is what they've done for ~30 years which is pulling and recontexualizing elements of past films (TND being TSWLM, Skyfall having elements of GE + DAD seeped in more striaght…
