  • I'm not too worried about the script issues. Jez Butterworth notably saved "Edge of Tomorrow" with his massive rewrites shortly before the film's production (although Christopher McQuarrie added more scenes during filming). Butterworth and Sam Mende…

  • Personally, I'm pleased to know a fourth writer is polishing the script. An undeniable failing of Purvis & Wade is their weak dialogue. They craft great action sequences and plot twists, but their dialogue is often stilted. I was worried the …

  • For variety's sake, I'm okay with Thomas Newman returning for Bond 24. As for David Arnold, he likely will return for Bond 25... So... Best of both worlds, I guess.

  • This is disappointing news. The departure of Purvis and Wade was one of the few reasons that my faith was briefly rekindled in the Bond franchise. They have been writing the series since 1999. Purvis and Wade openly admitted in multiple Skyfall i…

  • Hmm. Considering that Sam Mendes usually works with the same cinematographers, he might pick Ellen Kuras ("Away We Go"). Kuras also did "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" with Michel Gondry. But, yes, Hoytema would be preferable to Kuras.
