Whatever the idea is, Boyle didn't think Eon would go for it. Could just be for the same reason Boyle always said he wouldn't do Bond, i.e. the budget. Maybe he thought the idea was too small. RichardTheBruce wrote: » All the Fleming books and …

ELLE (2016) - Possibly Paul Verhoeven's best film. An arresting narrative and wonderful central character played by Isabelle Huppert. Way more intimate and less spectacle-fueled than his others. It's still got bite, just in a different flavor than I…

TMWTGG. Very close. FYEO is lovely of course, but for me it always exists better in the mind than on the screen. The contrast between the serious and the goofy parts always jars me. I particularly lose it when the parrot gives Rog the crucial bit of…

Yeah I've always read the situation as more reflecting of his integrity rather than him throwing a hissy fit. He comes across as quite professional in his interviews. Gerard wrote: » US and India among the places visited by the Doctor and Compa…

With the Boyle rumor, how would everyone feel about Christopher Ecceleston as the baddie? He carries his weight well on screen. I think he'd play well against Craig. Depends on what they're going for of course. The name power isn't there, like Barde…

In addition to P&W being out I also like the idea that this might mean a smaller budget (and the restrictions that implies). talos7 wrote: » Does he have an likely choice for a composer? A. R. Rahman has done 127 HOURS and SLUMDOG MI…

I'm more glad to have new blood writing the screenplay than to have Boyle directing, but I'm fine with him as a choice. That said, I hope this script works out. Eon is in a tight spot if not.
