  • Duncan Jones (Moon) has tweeted out asking who the intended audience for a modern Bond film is meant to be. I wonder if he's angling himself to get some attention, or if he's perhaps already involved. https://twitter.com/ManMadeMoon/status/153172…
  • I think one aspect of the problem I have with the Empire shoot is nobody does good straight-forward behind-the-scenes photos anymore, where you get a sense of characterization and life from the actors on set, etc. When you stage them like in this sh…
  • I saw Maverick last weekend, and I'm afraid to say I don't quite get _all_ of the hype. It was a decent blockbuster, and a great sequel to the first movie in many aspects. It surpasses the original in emotional scope and technical stunts, and it …
  • Weren't there images, and maybe reports, of Lea Seydoux crying on the Matera set in Italy for NTTD? Edit with link now: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7508081/James-Bond-star-L-Seydoux-consoled-director-Cary-Fukunaga-set-No-Time-Di…

  • They should honestly combine the Q and Moneypenny characters, male or female. Shocked it hasn't been done sooner. They did it a bit ironically enough in Skyfall, when Moneypenny shows up in Macao to work with Bond on his mission. I don't want that..…

  • The trailer is certainly interesting. It does feel like the sound mixing just cuts out halfway through, though it wasn't quite as weird the fifth time watching it, haha. I'm excited for the movie, a lot of interesting frames. One thing I notice is t…
  • The issue with CJF is that he abused his power. He got notoriety and used it to creep out women. That's not good, and it's the type of thing that should ruin your career. He won't go to jail, and shouldn't (so far), but he also shouldn't be excused …
  • I doubt anyone remembers it, but long ago, under a different username, I started on a fan novelization of Skyfall that backdated the plot to the 1960s, and I reintroduced Elliot Carver into the plot. I was very much just pulling straight from the pa…
  • I hate to say it, but that interview makes me not really like Horowitz for Bond. He sounds depressed, and I can't trust a storyteller who thinks they can't revive Bond in the movies after killing him... you'd think he'd be chomping at the bit to hav…

  • Bond has aged out of Fleming's background for the character. For a modern operative to work they will have to come up with something for the background regardless of the race of the actor. I know they won't cast someone just because; they will scree…

  • I think as Calvin Dyson recently put it, Stromberg wanted to end the world because he could, and that's all you really need as long as they commit to it on screen. NTTD suffered by muddling the water needlessly imo. A person seeking self-affirmation…
  • So far the allegations are allegations. I don't discount these women may have had a bad experience with Fukunaga, and it's entirely plausible he acted inappropriately. This doesn't seem career-ending to me, though. Amber Heard is still a big part o…

  • If we want to go to gangsters, isn't modern day organized crime all about sex trafficking and drugs? I just can't imagine a good, realistic gangster plot that's appropriate for a proper Bond movie.

  • I think it's guaranteed we see Bond utilize The Batman's and Mandalorian's new digital sound stage, and I'd love to see Bond go for the cinemascope look again like they did in NTTD. The digitial-to-film transfer The Batman did also resulted in a goo…
