Why should iPhones and tablets feature heavily? Did old style telephones and typewriters feature heavily in the old Bond films? There is nothing more mundane and unglamorous than everyday tech. It's one of the reasons I dislike SF to much - th…

What's odd is that they've taken on a director with a reputation for not compromising and who is prepared to walk away when he doesn't get what he wants. Sounds a bit like Boyle. So what's changed? Has Fukunaga agreed to do what he's told? Or …

If Fukunaga bailed (which he seems to do quite often) then I think Craig would walk and we'd be looking at an even bigger delay until the next Bond film.

Glad we're now reduced to comparing ourselves to Greece as consolation. You're right I suppose- things could be worse. Cheer up - at least we're not facing TOTAL economic collapse. It seems the Leavers are reduced to now claiming that at least Br…

For the thread title, I think his name is Fukunaga, not Fukunuga

I've seen Sin Nombre and True Detective but never registered his name. Both of these are excellent though. I never finished Beasts of No Nation - found it a bit hard going. Since it starred Idris Elba, can we expect Fukunaga's appointment to res…

These are all great photos. But looking at them I'm reminded how lacklustre some of the locations in LTK were. Particularly in Florida. For some reason the USA always just droops on screen in Bond. I can't think of a really good US location in the e…

From 1993: Danjaq spokesman Charles Juroe explained, "When you get up to 17 in one series, you do things differently. You don't wait until 17 is a success to say, 'Oh, we better do another one'. This two-year cycle does not give Danjaq the luxury…

wasn't it Craig pushing for more Roger Moore style humour though?
