  • I think we've outgrown David Arnold. It's been a decade since he last worked on a Bond film and, frankly, I think we need a new composer. I liked Newman's work on SF a lot and there are a few themes in SF that a very good (even if the overall soundt…

  • What do we make of Boyle's comments in this article when asked about Brexit? I think whatever is 'idea' is for Bond 25, this is certainly a clue of where the film could be heading thematically... https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/…
  • Danny Boyle: ‘James Bond – not normally my cup of tea’ https://www.lipa.ac.uk/pages/news.aspx?artid=213 Oscar winner Danny Boyle has admitted he had doubts about accepting an offer to direct the new James Bond film. During a masterclass at the L…
  • Boyle spoke in Liverpool today about Bond 25 and revealed why he said "yes" to the gig. https://twitter.com/LIPALiverpool/status/1001489409856933888 I also asked a girl on Twitter and supposedly he didn't mention Bond...perhaps she wasn't pa…

  • John Hodge is Boyle's writer. He's really there to execute Boyle's vision. I doubt Hodge's voice will overwhelm the film. I'm very excited to hear what they've come up with. Trance is probably the most illuminating film in Boyle's oeuvre in disco…
  • Annapurna posed this awesome picture on their Instagram celebrating the Bond deal
  • One thing I've noticed about Boyle's cinematography is his use of space. He isn't a director to overuse close-ups or mid-shots. He likes to grab a lot of the environment in a frame and have his characters exist in that space. It creates rather st…
  • Annapurna's reponce to today's news: Megan Ellison tweeted a picture of a martini glass and retweeted Deadline's article this morning https://twitter.com/meganeellison/status/999855619103342592 The Annapurna element is the thing that real…
  • Great news to wake up to today! Some really interesting nuggets of information. Firstly, Boyle and Hodge are signed on officially. Interestingly, I thought Hodge may have been working off the P&W script. However, that is clearly not the ca…
  • Danny Boyle is doing a talk next Tuesday in Liverpool.... Is Bond confirmation coming...... Also Baz is going to release a new article tonight. I feel something in my bones that something is coming tonight?
  • Who do we anticipate Danny Boyle will get to be his DP? He tends to work with the same people. He has worked with the following: 1. Brian Tufano: He only shot Boyle's early films, so can likely be discounted. 2. Darius Khondji: I would adore …
  • In an exchange on Twitter, Sanjeev Bhaska confirms that he is working with Boyle on his latest film. He alludes to Boyle working on Bond next: https://twitter.com/TVSanjeev/status/998913078426243072
  • Supposedly, Boyle will be on Look East BBC News today at 18:30pm. It's to discuss his new film which is currently getting made in Norwich. https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=news&q=danny boyle&src=typd
  • I have a suspicion that Barbara has her eyes on Jack O'Connell. He has a swagger that is reminiscent of Craig with a touch of the reckless abandon of Tom Hardy. Plus two directors of their original shortlist for Bond 25 made films with the actor. Cl…
  • Did Penelope Cruz turn down Bond 25 to star in female-driven spy film? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cannes-universal-lands-jessica-chastain-led-female-fronted-spy-film-355-1111314 Interesting comment in this Hollywood Reporter article:…
  • Further confirmation that Boyle confirmed his involvement with Bond 25 in Norfolk yesterday: https://twitter.com/ENSFCEnglish/status/995328885633011712 Why won't Eon make it official if the deal is done? Is this due to MGM holding out on a d…
  • Danny Boyle just gave a talk at a school and it seems as though people asked him about Bond. He's happily been posing for photos and talking to students. I suspect more Bond news is forthcoming.... https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=d…

  • Lea Seydoux has been at Cannes this year where she is serving as a judge alongside once touted Bond director Denis Villeneueve. She has also recently signed on for a new film, 'The Horse Boy' which starts filming in October. I suppose there is a …

  • It's hard to have an opinion based on rumours of story points. You really need the context of the final completed film to know whether the final product is a success or not. I like the names a lot though. Angelina Jolie is a huge get and will mak…
  • Speaking of Martin Campbell.....it looks as though his next production is about to begin filming. He's making Across the River and Into the Trees. There are other two Bond alums in the production including, the already announced Pierce Brosnan and G…
  • Well….it is Thursday again team. That means Baz is due to release an article tonight. Whether that article contains any Bond scoops is unknown. But considering that the Beatles film is being made now (another scoop of Baz’s), I think he’s clearly in…
  • More set photos of Boyle's musical. I suppose those reports of it being a period film were rubbish...makes you doubt Baz and the trades reporting.
  • Danny Boyle has been filming his latest movie in Suffolk this week: https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=dannyboyle&src=typd So it appears that Boyle is near-deep in production and his entire focus is on the music…
  • What is this about Fiennes having a scheduling conflict? The Bond schedule is very open for any actor aside from Daniel Craig. He's the only person who needs to be available for 6 months to shoot the entire thing. The actual production means t…
