  • Does Fallout have a release date for home video yet?

  • By Royal Command. It is fifty anniversary of Majestys, so putting the Royal title in there again is a good idea, also Boyle was involved with the Olympics segment which featured the queen.
  • Fallout on track to reach over 200 million domestic, topping Spectre in the US.

  • Not meaning to be cocky, but I think it will be Aidan Turner, or Tom Hardy (but less likely). Or possibly someone completely unknown. The other options like Hemsworth and such don't really make sense to me. He just doesn't seem like a British agent …

  • I remember Hiddleston being a huge favourite around here a few years back, yet today he rarely gets a mention. Has his stock fallen in the eyes of Bond fans?
  • If EON knows what they're doing, Bond 25 will be the last Bond film with a personal angle for a very long time. I agree Bond 25 will be somewhat of a departure from the last two, especially visually. But it will stills be about Bond moreso than the …

  • I watch THe HOBBIT: Desolation of Smaug on ITV last night. Having never seen the Hobbit films before, I was a bit disappointed with these. I thought Jackson could do no wrong, as his Lord of the Rings films were all extremely impressive, but thes…

  • Watching Desolation of Smaug on ITV currently. Anyone doubting Aidan Turner as Bond should watch this as he displays more personality in his small part than most do in starring roles. If Bond doesn't snap him up, some other franchise will.

  • I don't think all the action in CR was necessary, in that it wasn't all needed to tell the story. The ending in Venice inparticular. It might well be a nicely film sequence, but what must be considered is how it impacts the film at large. There was …
  • Fallout is crushing it at the boxoffice, accruing 10 million on its second Friday in the US.
