  • I on the other hand would love to see what Trent and Atticus Ross would come up with for Bond.

  • Fincher would be a tremendous choice for a Bond film. I'd definitely be down with that. I'd much prefer him to Villeneuve actually.
  • Red Sparrow (2018) This one doesn't need much of a review. I'll just say it's definitely worth seeing if you're a fan of the spy genre and like me have been longing for a decent mystery thriller. It's best characterized as a mix of La Femme Nikit…
  • James Newton Howard. I just got back from Red Sparrow and feel he did an exceptional job with that film.

  • If we have a new distributor finally (e.g not Sony, but rather Universal) then that could possibly be a reason for these last minute shifts, as they provide input & suggestions. If it is Sony again however then I expect more of the status quo.

  • Aren't Deadline and Hollywood Reporter credible though? That's what I was assured of a couple of times earlier.
  • BAIN123 wrote: » My favourite bit of YOLT is probably Henderson's death and the fight in Osato's office. I'm somewhat similar. I like the whole section from Bond arriving in Japan to the first meeting with Osato and #11.
  • I think Gilbert got progressively better with maintaining tension in his big setpiece finales. While I think the YOLT set is immense and truly awe inspiring for its time, I find the whole last act quite dull (my favourite parts of the film are prior…
  • Isn't Boyle a Fleming nut? I thought I read that somewhere. Regarding QoS: that film didn't go down too well with the public or fans (although it's had a reappraisal of late). I'm not surprised that EON decided to change course after that, and th…

  • The article didn't say anything about Hodge, so I'm assuming he's still on the job. After all, I've been told numerous times that The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline etc. are the sources to trust.
