  • I think some of us are blowing this way out of proportion. Again, if he wanted to part ways with Eon, he wouldn't do it four months from production. Especially with a guaranteed success on his hands, and especially with his good working relations…
  • I interpret the future to mean post Bond. He clearly had an idea for Bond 24 and Bond 25, and as far was we know the basic idea for both films may still hold true. He's a professional; he's been doing this for years. He will finish with Bond and …
  • I want you all to promise me that if you ever come across Craig, Mendes, Logan, or the Producers, you express how badly Wright's Leiter must return.
  • The only thing I can think of from the '89 to '99 time frame is the Yugoslavia debacle, where perhaps people were worried some Commies would come out of the wood work and try to form new regimes in the slicing and dicing of new nations in that area …
  • @zebrafish I'm not saying that will happen. Just that there's the potential for a deal like that. With Aston's financial woes, I could easily see them trying to work a deal out. But details on what exactly the two companies have planned with each ot…
  • As an update to yesterday's post, more articles are reporting that the DB9 replacement will be arriving in the second half of 2016. It will then be followed by a V8 Vantage in 2017 and a V12 Vantage in 2018. Following shortly after that will be a ne…

  • A few more updates on the 'new era' of Aston Martins heading our way. Car&Driver is reporting that work on the DB9-replacement is well under way, and will indeed be utilizing the new engines and aluminum frame sourced from the Mercedes-Benz d…
  • Some simple Star Wars promotion at the Licensing Expo:

  • Perilagu_Khan wrote: Ludovico wrote: I'm all for Adele returning for Bond 24. If not her then someone like her (bad pun here). Agreed. Don't screw with a good thing. "Skyfall" was easily the best title track since "Goldeneye" and quite …
  • Is it just me or has this show fallen off the face of the Earth? I barely managed the first episode, and while that is my opinion, I've stopped seeing all discussion of it on Twitter, on this site, on film/TV sites, and I don't believe I've even …

  • I am not getting old, just simply bad at math it would seem. My last comments were indeed incorrect on my previous post, and I concede the victory over to you on that argument. And if the big hook from Peter Morgan's treatment was M. dying, then…
  • @PanchitoPistoles You should have kept reading. I back-tracked on my 'thrown out the script' comments. It is unclear how much has been kept, but I can assure the script from late 2012 to early 2013 is not the same script they are working with now…

  • Creasy47 wrote: @JWESTBROOK, I really hope I'm not also initially disappointed by B24 like I was with SF, because then it'll just anger me that we had to wait an extra year for him to be available. I'll go into it expecting something good and that…
