  • Roger Deakins has some rather cutting comments to make about the Bond series here: https://twitter.com/Collider/status/1247970034703634434 I get that he isn't a Bond fan. He's clearly someone who likes the type of movies he shoots, which are o…

  • This sounds like lunacy – genuine, gibbering cartoon lunacy – but, for a moment there, Die Another Day was my favourite James Bond film. Hand on heart, it was. I went to see it at the cinema and I was blown away when I was 12. Watching it now I w…
  • A look through IMDB also reveals that Charlotte Williams was on set as a stunt performer/stand-in for Young Madeleine..... https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5977344/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cr1337 She looks like the girl on the lake...perhaps she is also the a…

  • I think Eon simply cannot miss the diamond anniversary of 007 in 2022.....it would be a terrible misstep. Denis Villenueve came so close to directing Bond 25. Had it not been for his 'passion project' Dune arriving, he'd have done it. It's a cryi…
  • Back in 2014, I pegged Cary Fukunaga as an exciting new cinematic voice and somehow who looked ready for the big leagues and huge franchise. I even said on this forum that he should do Bond - as one of the major leagues, whether it be Star Wars or B…
  • Nolan proving his Bond credential yet again. Here he speaks of the story of how Sean Connery was cast: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/amp32617787/john-david-washington-tenet-denzel-son-life-story/?__twitter_impression=true “The fil…
  • I know that Nolan loves the Bond franchise, but I always thought that regardless of that love, he'd never direct one. Mainly as he scratched the franchise itch with Batman and Eon might not be interested in such a 'name' director. However, these rec…

  • GadgetMan wrote: » Am no advocate for smoking, but I really do miss seeing James Bond on suit, casually lighting a cigarette and smoking, as he talks to a foreign contact, or the villian or when he's alone in his hotel room. There's a photo of …

  • I recall @antovolk saying in respect to similar rumours surrounding NTTD that the IMAX platters (which are very large) cannot manage films that are over 2hr 45min mark. So I suppose the film is either directly at that length or Nolan has found some …
  • Tenet is going to be a long movie...all the more time to spend in the cinema to ensure you catch coronavirus https://twitter.com/tvs_movies/status/1264240855570944007

  • https://www.vulture.com/2020/05/mask-of-zorro-director-on-what-makes-a-great-action-romance.html Cool new interview with Martin Campbell that mostly focuses on his Zorro film. However, there are some tasty morsels about Bond. He's very candid …
  • Thanks for the head's up, guys. I'm a little uneducated on these points, so the more education I can gain on the subject is gratefully received. As far as I'm aware, Nolan does colour-grade his films but does so through a photochemical process oppos…

  • Have we heard this podcast of Chris Corbould talking about his career and NTTD. also, the interview pretty much confirms that Christopher Nolan is a big Bond nerd... https://twitter.com/SoundstageAC/status/1257004774869725184
  • This debate again.....some agree, some disagree. That's kind of the end of it until we get some substantial news. I've learned my lesson trying to suggesting POC for the Bond role. You aren't going to change minds. If anything people just get more e…
