  • Yeah, but a lot of it I think has to do with Kathleen Kennedy has no idea what she’s doing, so I don’t see those things happening... and if they did, it would be with the goal of making it more female centric, so it’s probably best that it hasn’t ha…
  • I’m skeptical as anyone else if this movie will happen, but I took Spielberg’s exit as a big plus, critically needed actually. They need to soft reboot and return this series to action adventure not sentimental dopey family comedy that Spielberg (an…
  • I find a lot of the high horse rebukes equally childish as the irrational venting.. EON is not to blame for COVID and the confused mess of trying to release NTTD. Now, they are responsible for the confused mess that was the preproduction of NTTD. It…
  • Good thing they didn't spend another 50 million in marketing...

  • Drama and melodrama are different things. Pretentious theming, emo characterization, fake personal stakes, Brofeld, should all be avoided.

  • No fans are the heart and engine of any franchise.... you can run for a while without them but eventually it will hollow out and fade
  • And yet the marketing machine continues... merchandising ads continue to release... actors features...

  • If NTTD comes out and tanks, as others have pointed out, it won't kill the franchise, it will only possibly lead to a smaller budget for B26, which will force better writing, which I only see as a win-win. Release this thing. Get moving on B26. To m…
  • You’re forgetting MGM... they don’t do EoN’s bidding, they make decisions too, some predicated on needing influx of 💰

  • Oh that is confusing, but thank you for clarifying. I will keep hope alive.
  • Folios Autumn collection was announced and no new Bond.... should have known, it’s 2020 and everything sucks. I called just to verify and they did say no new Bond. Guess we have to wait and hope it’s in the Winter collection.
  • The conjecture that everything would have changed had CONNERY been in OHMSS because he was the driver of the absurd isn’t true or fact. They returned to Fleming, period. Had Connery been in the film it would have been ahundred times better. It…
  • Yeah exactly, we’re in the same boat next year. There is no right thing, it’s just a movie.
  • Trying to become awards bait would be the death of James Bond. They should not care.

  • The audience score, assuming pretty die hard fans, gave it a “b.” Inception lite is what it looks like by the trailer... I’m not judging the actual film as I haven’t seen it But I doubt this would be a blockbuster even without Covid for all th…
  • Tenet stars no one, and it’s not like Nolan is coming off the Batman series to really draw them in.... people may risk their life for an old friend, a Cruise or DiCaprio, but not for Nolan.... maybe if the trailers had shown a more original film and…
  • USA needs LA, NY and SF to have theaters open.... they make up some insane percentage of theater goers here, like 50-75% If Mulan does well on Disney +, Black Widow will go there.... now I’d be surprised how well Mulan is doing because they way o…
  • NTTD is getting heavy advertising here in US.... every time I’m watching something on YouTube or TV I’m seeing ads for it.... it seems like they’re going all in regardless of what happens
  • Yeah I’d feel better if NTTD was in October release.... if Tenet under performs grossly and then Wonder Woman 2 does same, then they just wasted a lot of marketing money for NTTD because they’ll push it out again

  • We need to get a countdown going.... just a few weeks away. We may or may not get NTTD in Nov, but we should get a Folio Fleming in Oct!
  • Not a fan of these Marketing 101 posters.... they need to can th Exec in charge, obviously the same person from the Mendes years.

  • Big fan of Boseman... he was great in everything, really liked 42 and Marshall. His gentle gentleman demeanor always came through. Was looking forward to seeing him in many films to come. So sad. It's going to be hard for a lot of kids who looked up…
  • Depressingly.... with films going back into production, it’s a shame that a new Bond film wouldn’t force a release timetable. But with EON content to waits years and years... it makes no difference
