    in Sean Connery set to join fellow James Bond actors at the Oscars Comment by Strelik February 2013

    in Sam Mendes Wants to return for Bond 24 Comment by Strelik February 2013
  • Definitely the Egyptian rooftop scene in The Spy Who Loved Me... Dangling on the roof's edge, the fat henchman grabs Moore's tie. Moore coldly asks him: "Where's Fekkesh?" Despite the henchman betraying his boss, Moore kills him anyway. Gritty sc…
    in Moore's Most Ruthless Moments Comment by Strelik February 2013
  • Judging by Mendes' response at BAFTA and knowing that Logan submitted a treatment for Bond 24 in August, it seems that Mendes wants to greatly re-shape the existing Bond 24 storyline more to his liking. I hope he is allowed to do so. His suggestions…

  • thelivingroyale wrote: I thought the Ice Palace was a pretty good set. Hmm. For me, Lamont's Ice Palace set had a slight 1980s vibe that seemed more appropriate for an older Timothy Dalton-era Bond film. I'm pleased that Gassner has been r…

    in Purvis & Wade out - John Logan in for Bond 24 Comment by Strelik January 2013
  • Hmm. My ideas/picks... Preferred Directors for Bond 24: - Fernando Meirelles (City of God, The Constant Gardener) - Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) - Joe Wright (Atonement, Hanna) - Anton Corbijn (The Ameri…
    in Bond 25 (and Beyond) directors you consider. This can be directors, second Unit Director or D.O.P. Comment by Strelik January 2013
  • I agree that Felix should be played by the same actor if the character returns, but I am unsure if the character should return for Bond 24. In contrast to the now-deceased Mathis, Eve Moneypenny, the new boyish Q or even Ralph Fiennes' M, I am disin…
    in Felix Leiter should remain the same actor Comment by Strelik January 2013
  • I wouldn't mind if Adele returned, but I hope the Bond producers choose a singer who is thematically appropriate. For example: The selection of Jack White and Alicia Keys for "Quantum of Solace" title song was thematically inappropriate and almost j…
    in Daniel Craig wants Adele to sing the theme to the next Bond blockbuster Comment by Strelik January 2013
  • I just hope the villain's objective is realistic. Le Chiffre wanted enough money to recoup his losses; Green wanted water rights; Silva wanted revenge against M and MI6, etc. I would be disappointed if the Bond producers rehashed the Brosnan era by …

    in Purvis & Wade out - John Logan in for Bond 24 Comment by Strelik January 2013
  • Personally, I want Sam Mendes to return. He was responsible for inserting all the elements into Skyfall that I enjoyed (e.g., the Shanghai and Macau sequences which were dictated by him to John Logan). I also would love to see Ralph Fiennes retur…
    in Spectre wish list Comment by Strelik December 2012
  • Perhaps send another card to Sam Mendes? After listening to the Skyfall podcast with screenwriters Purvis and Wade, it was quite clear that Mendes' creativity was primarily responsible for the elements that made Skyfall an entertaining film. One cou…
    in What about a big 'THANK YOU' letter for Babs and Michael? Signed by us all? Comment by Strelik December 2012
  • On a side note... When you analyze Fleming's novels, his character of James Bond exhibits all the psychological traits of an ardent neo-fascist. With each passing decade, the Bond producers has attempted to strip these traits from the character, …
    in Has Bond become a bit neo-fascist? Comment by Strelik December 2012
  • The accusation that James Bond is a neo-fascist is actually quite common and dates back to the 1950s. When "Doctor No" was first published, literary critic Paul Johnson of The New Statesmen publicly attacked the Bond phenomenon as a crypto-fascist g…
