  • I was able to watch Yann Demange’s “’71” last night and was very impressed. It’s such an assured and confident piece of filmmaking – if you have yet to see it, I recommend you seek it out. He’s able to create a truly intense and nerve-janglin…
  • I feel this question is another way to just ask Bond's political leanings...."What would Bond think of Trump?" "Would Bond have voted for Brexit?", etc. I feel that Bond is a massive Tory - so I presume he'd go for the Telegraph. However, modern …
  • I don't hate the Beyonce rumour at all. She's the world's biggest recording star by a country mile. If the producers were smart and wanted to get maximum publicity and a great song - they should hire her. Also, she'd want to Bond gig as it would …
  • Personally, I feel Forster botched it. He had a personal style and clear take on it, but the final product felt disjointed and badly managed. His basic storytelling competencies should be questioned. Not only is the action badly stitched together…

  • This bloke is very East Laaandan. He's most certainly the most urban and working-class Bond director ever. It's about time Bond shook it up. Also....in other news. James Bond Australia have posted that Yann was spotted at EON HQ on Tuesday. …
  • This is the news I’ve been waiting for! First thing, Deadline are a very legitimate source but Justin Kroll at Variety is a leading entertainment journalist. He’s the guy who chases the big leads and has close links with studios (I recommend watc…
  • In a rather unusual move (especially with everything that is going on in the world), The Times paper has decided to put Bond on the front-page. It seems a tad odd, especially as the film was announced on Monday and most papers reported on it yesterd…
  • Interesting move from EON. Clearly they want to plant their flag in the ground and remind people that they are back. However, it’s an odd thing for a production company to announce a release date without a distributor in place. It makes me bel…
  • McGuigan is such a flaccid suggestion. I doubt Broccoli would want him after reaching the lofty heights of Sam Mendes. However…if it comes from @ColonelSun I believe it. It feels like a Pierce Brosnan-era choice. A safe journeyman director who wo…
  • MGM want Cara Delevingne to star in Bond 25 http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/film-bosses-eye-very-famous-10832217 Yawn - though it does come from the Mirror who started the whole Craig rumour last week that sent the internet wild. Also, t…
  • This is very interesting news indeed…. Clearly EON have spent the last few years attempting to assert themselves away from Bond. This always felt like something Barbara Broccoli (with her considerable influence in the industry) was wasting her ta…
  • Just doing some thinking… But remember that Comic Relief sketch from the set of Spectre? I suspect that they didn’t give Craig eye-makeup and a tux soeley for the sketch (especially as it’s totally unrelated to the sketch). I reckon they filmed t…
  • I think a large reason why the story is gaining traction is due to the lack of Hollywood news coming during the July 4th holiday period. It's a slight "non-story" (basically it's the same news that has been said throughout the year but repackaged). …
  • The new series is definitely a curiosity. Slowly the show seemed to become more coherent and nostalgic as it went by. Initial episodes really seemed to be more in keeping with Lynch’s latter cinematic work, with occasional pangs of the famili…
  • It’s good to see Campbell out of director’s jail after he fiasco with Green Lantern. When I first saw this trailer, I thought we could get a serious-minded action flick – however, as it goes on, the more ridiculous it becomes. Having said that, C…
  • Sorry, not true. It's not a bad idea - you could do a Snowden-esque film featuring Q as a central character. It also makes sense to perhaps give Moneypenny her own action starrer (after all Naomie Harris is a great actress and deserving after her…
  • This new featurette from Blade Runner 2049 has convinced me that Denis Villenueve should do Bond 25: http://collider.com/blade-runner-2049-featurette/ This is practically a featurette for a Bond film with both Roger Deakins and Dennis Gassner ap…

  • This is really an unmitigated disaster. I can’t recall a film in recent memory that has gone through a more turbulent event. Why couldn’t they have noticed this issue and dealt with it earlier? Lord and Miller should have been fired months before…
  • Craig’s pre-Bond career was pretty eclectic and interesting. He made a habit of being cast as tightly-wound, slightly psychotic characters and it suited him perfectly. Also, like many of his contemporaries, he didn’t just star in Hollywood films but…
  • Am I the only one who thinks that Ryan Coogler is borrowing quite liberally from Sam Mendes. There are scenes which seem to borrow directly from Skyfall...... Just an observation, but the visual similarities are clearly th…
  • I'd be curious if someone could explain the GE budget to me. Merely two years later, they decided to double the budget for GE's sequel. Why didn't GE get the same treatment? What was the logic for them tightening the purse-strings? Was it because…
  • Let's begin the campaign to get Anthony Joshua to the new Bond.
  • Wright has been a fantastic Felix. Also, given his prominent rise in shows like Broadwalk Empire and his magnificent turn in Westworld, it seems that he is ideally placed to return to the role of Felix in a future film. If that character is in th…

  • This is exactly what I need. Craig steals this trailer. I'm really looking forward to this film now, it looks as though Soderburgh is going back to his Ocean's 11 style but with a hint of the Coen brothers. It's also great to see Craig play ag…
  • High-Rise is an indulgent mess of a film. However, it’s a very distracting mess, where the incoherence can actually be quite beguiling. The visuals are also very impressive and Kubrickian production design/70’s retro-future look is very welcoming. I…

  • Personally, honoring someone in the context of the movie is always so hokey. I find it all pretty cringeworthy. For example, the Paul Walker farewell is such sentimental guff that has no place in the context of the film and only serves the meta-n…
