The 'tired' factor is annoying. I would hope it was more a pat response to interview question, having already used it, but still. EON may need a high energy workaholic with eternal optimism who energizes everyone. It seems apparent that they are fol…

Going backwards in time... The Craig era women are my favorites of the series... these three are all equally stunningly beautiful: Madeline Swann... Lea Seydoux can morph herself into many looks and be equally gorgeous …

Fleming material... @talos7, I would want an adaptation of LALD. If they CR'd that book it could be great. I would steer clear of YOLT at this point, though I know a lot of people are calling for it. There's no point in killing off Blofeld after…

Jesus, they made CR. It does seem like a fluke at this point, but here's some tips to follow: EON... 1. Take another of Fleming's best books (good news, you own the rights!), hire a great writing team, develop and modernize it. Read it all the…

That was again awesome @jake24! I want to see it more than anything since CR :) I would edit down Fiennes though, keep it on Bond like most of us want. And I would lose Kevin Spacey altogether. He's too well known, too American, best to stick with a…

Mad Max is amazing and that's why fans should be calling for George Miller, (not Tom Hardy)

End of 2018 with Craig. But, I expect a cagey response and not an announcement in his upcoming interview. I just want to know who their creative team is... and I want to know now. And that sucks for me because we're probably talking next year for…

Waltz comments are the first acknowledgment that SP didn't quite work. I appreciate that honesty. It makes you wonder if Craig would really be satisfied walking away...I'd be surprised if he doesn't want to leave on a better film.

It's not easy to make a great movie, I get that. But EON aren't on top of the game. They have paid GREAT money for writers. Their creative teams are not under paid. They're just not good and NOT well guided by either EON or the directors EON hire…

Lea Seydoux is gorgeous and I like the character. People pick on her the way they pick on various portrayals and whatever nitpick when it was the script/director at fault. I do think they had the break up moment on the London street though, however …

Star Wars has plans for a movie coming out every year, so there's no point in trying to avoid it (like Marvel releases). They would be more wise to avoid coming out right after an MI movie.
-
SP is an unfinished, uneven, movie. I like a lot about it too. It's enjoyable if you're open, annoying mess if you're not. Like all Mendes work, it doesnt lend itself to easily repeated viewings. EON should be making better movies. I like them, I…

News for next MI is that Cruise and studio are arguing over $, but set to start filming in January. After Cruise has made three films in interim. Looking forward to it. Depressed by Bond inertia.
-
Agree, writers and Mendes. Films are a director's medium. SP is uneven in tone and shot from an unfinished script. I don't question Craig's performance. He's so good, but what do you do with that ending as an actor other than request it be totally r…

Nice! If only it was really in pre-production.
-
Right which is a problem. They're supporting not costars that need screen time. That said, I like Winshaw, so maybe $$ can be saved by a multiple picture deal.

Leave Blofeld in prison, have Bond off with Madeline and then have her father's past come back to haunt them with some new, great, well written character and story. Or ignore all of it and project Bond a few years into the future like SF, and do …

Under that argument, making Casino Royale was a mission in futility.

Yeah I would go 1. FRWL 2. DN 3. TB 4. GF I'm reading the series in order again, up to YOLT... I was surprised how much I didn't care for GF this time around. It's in the bottom quarter for me. Seriously, I enjoyed reading TSWLM more. I liked…

Wizard is correct. Sure, I'm for EON. EON over ever changing Studio Execs making decisions, sure, yes. Their track record however, as I clearly outlined in my post, is not that stellar.
-
Cubby cluster#$%ed the series too, no question. Quality over quantity is fine, but you have to deliver on quality. Modern day EON has made four terrible Brosnan era films. They've made one great film with CR. Some can argue SF is also great. I w…
