    in EoN sells up - Amazon MGM to produce 007 going forwards (Steven Knight to Write) Comment by Burgess June 26
  • I’m wholeheartedly on board for this but one wonders how and why Villeneuve won out. Many people ruled out Christopher Nolan and Villeneuve because of their schedules over the next year or so. Why did Villeneuve get the job but not Nolan? Assuming A…

    in EoN sells up - Amazon MGM to produce 007 going forwards (Steven Knight to Write) Comment by Burgess June 26
  • This is fantastic news! I can’t wait. It’s strange to call a director of his caliber a safe choice but it’s seems that, so far, Amazon is securing the future of Bond with talent that both fits and elevates the brand. It’s important to point out that…

  • Stamper wrote: » Why, Bond is referring to women screaming their lungs out at Beatles gigs. It's not about the music. To be fair, if that interpretation is correct, it’s not reflected in how the line is structured or delivered.

  • We’re thirty years shy of a century since Bond’s creation. Fleming’s legacy is solid. Is this a money grab of a kind? Yes. Is it the most cynical money grab of which I’ve read, seen or heard? No. Let them do what they’ve been doing: experiment and e…
