Some folks tend to get a bit worked up here, it's true. Nothing wrong with tough love though. At the end of the day, James Bond is what we all love. Not the producers (although I'm sure they're some who do love them) or the actor (although again,…

Yes, I'd say the one film that really clicked (despite its flaws) outside of the two Campbell entries was SF. Says it all about their artistic efforts really. This is after the long breaks too.
-
Campbell has been pursued. More than once. He will do it if they cast a new actor. Nolan will do it if they cast a new actor. It's that simple. Campbell doesn't want to do the second one. Only the first. I can appreciate that. It's more of a crea…

That's a stock picture, so yes it's a joke.

I don't think they are looking for consistency. They are looking for artistic flair and distinctiveness. When it works, it really works. When it doesn't work, it's an abject failure. I agree with you on consistency. I think that's what some of us…

There is still MacKenzie as someone pointed out a few pages back. Perhaps he's the guy. What is giving me confidence that this will all work out for the best is the distributor (and I don't mean Annapurna, but rather 'the big one'). Once they are…

I will definitely check those out soon then @peter. I know of him of course and so approached Phantom Thread with curiosity but also reasonably high expectations of him. He didn't disappoint, so I can see why he's so looked up to now. Vicky Krieps w…

No, @peter I've not seen any of those films except Gandhi (a long time ago so I don't remember him in that one). I haven't seen Lincoln or Gangs of New York either. I have to watch Gandhi again. I will say I was impressed enough by him in Phantom…

@Tuulia, regarding Daniel Day Lewis: mindless action fare, spy flicks, light dramas and comedies are my main interest. DDL tends to make deeper films which require focus and concentration, and these are just not normally the types I gravitate toward…

I don't see why an entertaining, speculative and informative thread should be closed. We'll get news when we get it. Take a break if necessary and check the first page where info is always regularly updated.

I continue to believe that business decisions are driving this. Disney's move for Fox leaves only a few independent players out there like Lionsgate and MGM. We know that MGM already attempted a sale, which was blocked by the incoming Trump Administ…

Looking forward to all of those @DaltonCraig007 and especially The Meg & Mile 22. I will make sure to see Equalizer soon too!
-
Great stuff. They just moved the release date forward two weeks as well, to avoid the Infinity War brute.

I haven't seen either @DaltonCraig007. Will do that and am also planning to pick up Chaos with Snipes, Statham and Phillippe, which I recently found out about.
-
That's another one on my list @DaltonCraig007. As I've mentioned somewhere before, I'm a sucker for a high-rise disaster epic (The Towering Inferno and the legendary Die Hard are two of my all time faves).
-
Thanks @DaltonCraig007. Johnson definitely seems to have a full schedule! I'm glad they're considering a sequel to San Andreas. I had a lot of fun with it and it's actually made me want to seek out more of Johnson's films (I recall you recommending …

Well somebody has to keep the British end up. Nobody does it better.

I saw two 2015 entries over the weekend which I had somehow missed on first run. Both were pretty good. Creed I had avoided this film initially despite being a huge fan of the original Rocky run. Sadly, Rocky 5, which I finally saw in the earl…

@Mendes4Lyfe, there is no doubt in my mind that in time the Craig era will be seen as 'self contained'. It will always have its share of fans, but it will be a product of its time. EON (or whoever gets the series after they move on) will either c…

I'd rather that Hunt remain invincible personally. If he were to die it may impact my enjoyment of the prior entries. The fantasy of eternal youth and invincibility are powerful ones in this genre. I'm rather disappointed that the Bond team has chos…

@patb, good points about the 'ghost of Cruise' hurting future actors. That's why I don't think any one person can replace him. A team however, can. They have to reimagine it, but it could still work with him being there. Regarding Kirk, I really …

@patb, I can live with 4. I'm not a fan of 3. (I generally dislike overt emotion in films and a Star Trek 2 scenario isn't something I'm keen on). My preference though is still for 1. Seeing him guide Benji with an earpiece in Vienna was just …
