  • These guys are keeping an entire industry alive at present, including actors, directors, stunt men, CGI specialists, theatre chains, concessioners etc. etc. Tim Burton doing Dumbo? That should be interesting.

  • I have no problems with Waititi and think he could deliver a classic Bond with the necessary light touch that some of us have been clamouring for. However, I would prefer him to take the job after a new actor is in place. One who is able to fit in b…

  • That new musical which Boyle has apparently signed up for is being distributed by Universal. I wonder if that means something re: the new distributor (assuming B25 is pushed back to accommodate him given the screwups with The Rhythm Section etc.)
  • I meant unexciting from a marketing standpoint. Many aren't all that knowledgeable or familiar with him, and now that names like Villeneuve, Nolan and more recently Boyle have apparently been contemplated the stakes are quite high.
  • I was going to say. Demange is the potentially 'unexciting' default choice.
  • @JamesBondKenya, I actually reside mainly in Canada these days, although I did live in the UK for many years as a kid and went to school and uni there (saw most of Brozza's films for the first time in London). I've also lived in the US (on work), Si…

  • I'm fine with @FoxRox's remarks. I think it's good to let it out from time to time. Everything will be back to normal once we get our next bit of gossip or news.
  • Everyone has a different way of expressing themselves. As long as we don't get personal with one another we should be fine. I find this discussion fruitful, even if I disagree with a lot of what is being said. Some of the venting is understandabl…
  • I can't wait for CashleyPersia to chime in with another theory.

  • They certainly give the impression that they're flying by the seat of their undies, that's for sure. Whether the reality is somewhat different I'm not sure. I don't know enough about their internal viewpoints to form an opinion, but from where I'…
  • In my humble opinion, it's time for another bit of serendipity.
  • It's been a while since I saw it @Torgeirtrap so my memory is hazy, but I remember hoping that a sequel would be forthcoming shortly. Alas, it doesn't appear likely at this point.

  • ClarkDevlin wrote: » Is Tom Cruise still part of the cast? I don't think so. I believe Cruise was considered for the stuntman role which went to Pitt so he's unlikely to be in it.
