  • I can't wait to hear it! I'm so rarely excited for new movie music. The trailers for 5 and 6 were incredible.

  • I would love an Ocean's 11 style ending for the second part, and I don't think think the cliffhanger in part 1 will be disappointing. I think Cruise and company know they need to make one really satisfying part 1, that feels like it's own movie in a…

  • Do we think anyone currently involved is being primed to take over? Ilsa? the White Widow?

  • Apparently McQuarrie recently updated his twitter banner photo. Someone tweeted we may get a MI7 teaser soon. Maybe in May, with Top Gun?

  • The films were never and are never meant for children and we shouldn't be asking for that. It's simply that adults used to be more fun.
  • That was a nice Dr. No review back a couple days ago. Thank you for sharing.

  • I will say the only move that would be on par with race-bending the character would be signing a big star like Harry Styles. Something to consider! I feel like he's worth a screen test.
  • Right now I think the likliest odds are Fukunaga returning to direct, or Nolan finally coming onboard. If it's Fukunaga, he will probably cast someone from the project he's currently working on, which is full of young UK talent. If it's Nolan, he wi…

  • I'm sure it's been brought up before but upon review of TWINE I realized that SF is just a heavy retread of major aspects of its narrative. -Bond's shoulder injured, his viability in the field questioned in the first act. -MI6 staff assist Bond …
