I am of the belief that Logan (sans death) was the essence of the P&W screenplay. That's old hat. Boyle is going to be quite different. Dynamic.

From Boyle's Wikepedia: Quote of his: "To be a film-maker...you have to lead. You have to be psychotic in your desire to do something. People always like the easy route. You have to push very hard to get something unusual, something different." …

Wasn't Trainspotting responsible for introducing the world to a whole new slew of British actors? I'd imagine we'd see something again. I think it was a precursor to films like Snatch and even Layer Cake. Moreover, as I recall (I haven't seen it)…

Thor Ragnarok (2017) Saw it twice in the theatre and loved it both times. It was just as good on the (relatively) small screen tonight. I just love the playful tone of this film and the humour and wit is spot on. Everyone seems to be letting th…

You could be right @peter, but then again that's what I thought most were expecting with the reported Logan style P&W sendoff. I can only imagine that Boyle's take is even more off beat. As I said some pages back, given EON's penchant for fol…

@JamesBondKenya , I get what you mean about energy. It sort of went through the motions. Perhaps that was because they didn't really delve too much into the main character's motivations or background. I think a little more time spent there might hav…

Yes, she's really very good in it. The film has tons of atmosphere and old school glamour/style. It feels like it was made in the past, rather than recently.

Another question. Does it seem plausible that Boyle can get this other project over and done with and get moving directly on Bond thereafter? Does that make sense from a scheduling and timing perspective, or is it cutting it very thin?
