  • As I've said before, if Ralph Fiennes wins the Oscar, his price tag will go up. And Amazon will truly try to hang on to him. He deserves it, hopefully a new writing team can help him get a better legacy as M.
  • If C. Nolan did come in as a writer/producer, he would more of an effort to have creative control than he did on Man of Steel. Apparently, he just helped with story pitches and hiring Zack Snyder as director. I think he would be more hands on with B…
  • Lightyear (2022). An enjoyable but flawed Pixar adventure. To all of you who don't want a James Bond villain origin spin-off, this is why I don't debate with you. Some villains just work better as being evil, without much background information. Thi…
  • The only Bond material that I ever want Purvis and Wade to write is a novelization of their Jinx spin-off script. With the assumption that Amazon wants spin-offs (and they have a say with IFP), I think it would be a great way for them to go out on a…
  • After reflecting on this news all day, I'm ready to share my thoughts. Cons (and how to make them positive): More or less what everyone says about Amazon looking at it creatively. They might just view it as a product. But I realize that movies…

  • https://deadline.com/2025/02/daniel-craig-exits-sgt-rock-1236295398/ Is Daniel Craig going to start his habit of dropping out of movies at the last minute again? It sounds like he is a bit bitter about not getting a Oscar nomination. In particula…

  • A Good Day to Die Hard (2013). I probably liked it more than the average reviewer. However, if I had to sum it up in one word, it would be Autopilot. It was just the greatest DH hits, callbacks and plot points. Jai Courtney looked enough like Bruce …

  • Live Free or Die Hard (2007). One of the best DH sequels. It foreshadows how tech can be easily hacked, and be used for personal world dominance in the most extreme cases. Timothy Olyphant as Thomas Gabriel is on par with the Gruber brothers as a gr…

  • I've actually brainstormed and written down some story ideas for an Alec Trevelyan origin story. It would be set in the present day, and have some modern war settings. It would be kind of a Harvey Dent into Two-Face story, but he would still be gene…

  • Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995). Still fun. Despite the riddles, it was easier for me to follow, compared to the overcast and too many twists of Die Hard 2. Jeremy Irons as Simon Gruber was just as great as his onscreen brother Hans. Samuel L. Jack…

  • Sounds like they have passion and ego to make it different, props to them. Combine all of these gaming types and we'll REALLY feel like James Bond. I think we'll see some classic characters outside of M, honestly.
  • Somehow, Jim Phelps returned. Maybe if JJ Abrams still had a hand making these movies. I think we'll see some surprise characters return along the way. I don't think this is the end for Tom Cruise and these movies. After hearing his comments about l…
  • Die Hard 2. Entertaining. Hard to follow who was what character. Not enough Sergeant Al. I'm interested to read the original books that DH 1 & 2 are based on. Lots of changes I'm told! I also think that Die Hard 1 could be a great stage play.…
