  • Very good. Now can we see the entire film?
  • I have a gut feeling we will start to hear real news on B25 very soon, especial as Cannes is around the corner as well. My money is on the article being correct. I think Craig is agreeing to do one more - but only one more.

  • RC7 wrote: » Ritchie may not be worthless, he certainly has an audience, but he's done nothing approaching brilliance. 100% agree. Ritchie is a one trick pony.
