  • Chinatown is clearly influenced by Chandler and film noir but that doesn't need a narration, god forbid test audiences would have been able to influence the studio sticking a Nicholson narration over that and the plot to that is far from straight fo…

  • That is so easy, QOS maybe flawed but it has a great PTS, Arnold's best score, great interactions with Bond & Mathis and love the big climax in the desert as well as Bond confronting Yusef at the end and his and M's final moment before the credi…
  • David Holmes would be a great choice, his Lets Get Killed album is a classic and has a great JB theme arrangement on there, plus his score for the Oceans films are good. I'll settle for DA back but if Holmes got the gig that would be much more ex…
  • I was happy to except McGuigan if it meant no Mendes but Demange is far more exciting as is McKenzie. Like I said in my last post Villeneuve is tackling a new adaptation of Dune as much as I'd love to see him direct an entry, also McKenzie is no …
  • Either of those 3 would be fine in my book, but isn't Villeneuve set to helm a new version of Dune?
  • Not saying it's definite but maybe Babs heart is just not in it anymore and MGW is not getting any younger. Possibly they don't have the energy for it anymore and want to hand the baton over and there younger family isn't up to the task. If th…
  • I think Craig is back and it's McGuigan directing. Also think it's likely this is a continuation, I'm sure they must know how the whole ESB revelation went down like a bucket of sick and if they do pick up after SP to tread carefully. I'm sure…
  • So looking forward to Logan Lucky, looks a blast and Craig is getting raves for this. Always knew he could stretch himself, proving those wrong that he's a one note actor, hopefully this will be start of him being more savvy when picking future r…
  • Whether it's got legs remains to be seen but maybe the idea this won't play anywhere else impressively than the UK might a bit premature. http://collider.com/friday-box-office-dunkirk/
  • If he wants to do it and they can make it work then BB & MGW would be fools to deny it. Hopefully they won't make the same mistake of Cubby when he told Spielberg he wasn't ready and then got Glen to ape Raiders rather terribly in OP. Dunk…

  • Dunkirk, simply incredible, I don't think I have had a more profoundly emotional and immersive experience on the big screen, this is extraordinary cinema. There is no one else like Nolan working in Cinema today, this films was filled with tension…

  • I think McGuigan is a lock if the rumours from a credible source here is true, if @ColonelSun has heard I think it's a good chance it's happening and @RC7 who also is in the industry rarely seems wrong.
  • I'm more than happy with Paul McGuigan, he doesn't strike me as a Mendes type. His work on Sherlock was great and hopefully that mean that Arnold will be asked back. I know some want new blood but maybe we should save that for next Bond. A fi…
  • I'd actually cooled off on Nolan directing a Bond film but the more some of you talk about what he could do I definitely warming to it more and more.. Definitely needs to be a reboot to get us out of the corner SP painted us into but the idea of …

  • It's nice to think that some can derive something from it plainly because it is Bond but to me if I think something is bad it's bad Bond or not Bond. I regard that as being easily pleased and yes when you have been a fan of something for over 40 …
  • SPECTRE is dire, without doubt the biggest disappointment of the series and also one of the biggest opportunities missed, it could have been so good a real triumph. They should of stuck to Craig being his Bond, deadly and efficient rather than tr…

  • Although we stopped watching it sometime into Capaldi's run, it wasn't him more the storylines, when he was wielding an electric guitar my Wife and I thought time to bow out. So we have no investment in this but the decision I think is a good one…
  • When Driver does something as good as Our Friends In The North come back to me.
