  • The PC will be very soon. I'd suspect the latter part of next week, maybe Thursday or Friday. The last person to reveal the date was Lizo from the BBC on his Twitter feed. I don't have Twitter but maybe someone should message him and ask what he …
  • Bond is much more stilted in this film and Moore is at his best when he's given lighter material. His take on Bond is slightly more self-aware and tongue-in-cheek, he does not have the innate levels of cool that Connery had. Moore has to work har…
  • The film is just so drab and banal for me. I'm not saying it's a terrible film as a result, just distinctively unremarkable. Even the more outrageous Bond films are able to provoke a reaction out of you even if it is hatred. In regards to FYEO, I…
  • The gist is there. I'd imagine there is some sort of party that Bond needs to infiltrate hence why he parachutes down in a full dinner jacket. It sounds fantastic and extremely Bondian, if anything it may be a little too obvious and something you ma…
  • I've been saying it for a while now that Blofeld would be in Bond 24, but after my initial excitement of Waltz joining the cast I can't help but feel the actor is a little too obvious a choice for the role. The more I think about it the more excited…
  • Though it's been all but confirmed, Hoyte Van Hoytema has now put an end to any speculation in a recent interview about whether Bond 24 will be shot on film or digital: http://www.hitfix.com/in-contention/interstellar-cinematographer-on-grounding…
  • He's good when the material is up to snuff. Campbell isn't the type of director who is particularly artistic and therefore any project he has cultivated himself has always faltered. Compare the 'Edge of Darkness' TV show to the movie. With the sh…
  • It looks like Campbell will direct the next instalment of the GI Joe series http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=111325 This is seriously disheartening. What happened to Campbell after CR? He made some real tripe and con…

  • I don't know if it's been mentioned but Waltz and Broccoli were recently judges during the Berlin Film Festival back in February. Do you think they may have spoken about it then? Also this video at 23.40 may be of interest, a number of promin…
  • Considering Baz's hints that Waltz's character will apparently flit between friend and foe throughout the picture before ultimately revealing himself to be Bond's 'nemesis' suggests to me that the villain is Blofeld and Mendes is doing an Abrams. …
  • This is great news! If I'm really nitpicking the only problem I do have is that Waltz is a little too obvious a piece of casting. I suppose you could say the same thing about Javier Bardem being hired to play a villain in the previous film though as…
  • Nope, I do like the title 'Mosaic' and as someone mentioned there is a rather Hitchcokian feel to the title, but it will NOT be the title for Bond 24. The web domain was registered for an app on the official website back in 2012: http://www.…
  • Nolan would be the perfect director for Bond. I loved Interstellar and the film is by far the director's most personal project, I'd imagine moving forward he'd continue in such a vein so maybe the possibility of him doing a Bond are diminishing. But…
  • Having seen Interstellar today I really want Jessica Chastain to play the female lead in the film. She's stunning and a brilliant actress, she held her own fantastically in the film and gave a stunning performance and would be an asset to the Bond f…
  • New Firearms Regulations threaten Bond 24's Production in Rome http://variety.com/2014/film/news/italian-producers-up-in-arms-over-new-regs-for-prop-firearms-on-movie-sets-1201352428/
  • Considering rehearsals are meant to begin in about 10 days and the film is meant to shoot in early December there has been literally no news. I think we have to face the fact, especially considering Hoytema's recent statement, that production on …
  • Butterworth has in fact spoken in the past about his work with Bond as well as the work he has done as a script doctor. http://www.theartsdesk.com/theatre/theartsdesk-qa-playwright-jez-butterworth http://charlieehay.ideastap.com/Media/774ba68f-4…
  • It's no wonder Mendes has gone out to Butterworth, he's a very respected playwritier in London and has a few Hollywood credits to his name including the really enjoyable 'Edge of Tomorrow'. It's a great sci-fi concept and a good action movie which i…
  • It's time we got this thread back on track: Here are some interesting facts and some informed predictions: - Daniel Craig is in London now, Bond 24 is deep into pre-production now and he is likely stunt training. - Sam Mendes begun filming …
  • I hope Elba isn't the villain mainly because I think he'd make a good Bond one day. I couldn't care less that he's black, he's a good actor and has the look. As far as a black actor goes for Bond 24, could Denzel be in the running? He has n…
  • I think the problem was they never attempted to acknowledge his age in the film. Bond is supposed to be the same sprightly figure from the previous films, nonetheless, we as the audience can see that Moore is well past it. So when we see Bond doing …

  • http://variety.com/2014/film/news/julia-roberts-secret-in-their-eyes-remake-1201298236/ This story is interesting. It seems Chiwetel Ejiofor is booked up shooting another film this fall. We know Bond starts filming in December so his chances of a…
  • I'm still reeling from Marketto' s SPECTRE comment, I got genuinely excited for a second. Not cool man. I think it's likely that Mendes is going to do his own version of Bane vs Batman from TDKR with Bond and Hinx in the next film. We will see Bo…
  • I really love the casting of Bautista, granted he isn't the most exciting casting to wake up to (also after the success of 'Guardians of the Galaxy, Bautista was the most obvious choice given the casting brief). He stole all the scenes he was in for…
