And don't forget the "rule" that the quality of movie number N in a franchise is linked to the box office of N+1 (it's usually a "rule" to explain that movie 1 is a sleeper success, popular on DVD and TV, etc, movie 2 is a frontloaded box office hit…

Watch out I'm already feeling I've read too many spoilers from the few first reviews (I'll go and see it and read nothing until then now)

Kate Winslet : If you were a producer, would you really consider casting the ex-wife of the director ? :)

So very good word of mouth from the first reviews coming in it seems.

More findings (or lack of, rather) On the Getfilings URLs, one can find MGM reports mentioning Danjaq in 2003 and 2004 Between 2004 and now, well I googled a bit things like : metro goldwyn mayer form 10-k "2007 annual report" but alas w…

Sir_James_Moloney wrote: As for the script being in the works, I haven't heard that. It was reported the director of Headhunters said EON met him and offered him to read Bond 24's script. It's a direct quote from a Norwegian interview with …

I know talking about something else than the creative team bores many people (somee even flag !) but what's still puzzling me is that rumors abound that Bond 24 and Bond 25 are being worked upon to make things go fast. At the same time, I can't find…

Well, 10 years ago, Gallimard who had the right at that time, published Moonraker with this cover that's not very creative to say the least : but 40 years ago, the same publisher had another one (with the old French title "Entourloupe dans l'…

On the same radio show (Michel Drucker, Europe 1) in which Carole Bouquet spilled the beans about FYEO's shot, there was another tidbit of info I never heard of. It was said by Jane Birkin, who was married to John Barry between '65 and '68. She s…

Gustav_Graves wrote: Shall I be very honest here? Style-wise, I find CR and SF way more connected than CR and QOS. They're both origin stories. Bond 24 won't probably be yet another origin story (unless it's Blofeld's !), it'll be something h…

But in a plot-driven movie, plotholes are big issues, people feel cheated. Imagine the season 3 explains that Sherlock survived the fall because well he's Sherlock, no need to explain, the audience didn't expect him to die anyway. And well, accordin…

Ok, we've got Skyfall which was much more character-driven than plot-driven. We've got then many people explaining that then pointing out the plotholes is irrelevant : yes Bond can survive this fall, yes Silva can predict everything, yes you can be …

Well I edit a lot my posts while you answer them (I'm not a native English speaker so I need some drafts before my final script :) ), but you get the feeling. I don't think the "two year crowd" is a bunch of "naive" people who think you can get m…
