  • All I really wanted to know was whether EON were waiting for the strikes to end to jump into high gear or whether they were in no rush to start the new film anytime soon. I think this comments confirm that we are going to be waiting a long time for …
  • Do you think Micheal G Wilson will have a credit like Cubby had on Goldeneye? He'll be roughly the same age as Cubby was back then.
  • I think we can safely say 2025 is out of the picture. 2026 is now the "hopeful" year for a new film, and as the months tick by 2027 starts to look more feasible - a film along with the 65th anniversary celebrations and a new bluray boxset.
  • bond 25 is the worst bond film.
  • Well that rules out 2025.

  • Craig films really don't do anything to distinguish themselves from the classic films, it's a myth. :-B So we can make more stories like the classic films right? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! That wouldn't work! [-( ~X(
  • sandbagger1 wrote: » I get what Mendes4Lyfe is saying, he’s talking about that style of directing which, for example, North by Northwest has - not naturalistic but somewhat contrived… I’m not sure if ‘theatrical’ is the right term, but it’s not re…
  • It's kinda bizarre that people have heralded the Craig era for years for being so different and unique and then when you point out there's a way those differences can be viewed as a negative you're told they don't exist and you're inventing them.

  • @mtm you CraigMoore or anyone else in this discussion hasn't given me any examples, you keep saying the Craig films are dripping in style and then list the lighting or set design of a given scene, which is completely besides the point as I've alread…

  • CraigMooreOHMSS wrote: » Equally frustrating is the repeated notion that the Craig films didn't have humour, style or swagger. There was plenty of it throughout If only that were true. :-<
  • What frustrates me about fan sites is that it seems a lot of people have the impression that EON will carry on making more grounded, dramatic films forever in the mold of Craig, and sometimes it warrants pointing out that the series takes on a new f…
