  • Happy New Year Everyone! I wish you all every success in anything you pursue in 2019. To your health, wealth and happiness.

  • She was pretty good in that MI:5 (Spooks) film from a few years ago. I can definitely see her as an agent. She'd be a decent addition to a Bond film imho.

  • It will @jake24, and we all hope for the best. It's risky for Fukunaga to bring them back imho, but hopefully he can make it all work, and ensure that their involvement is more organic and meaningful this time around. RE: Swann - I'm beginning…

  • Unfortunately all of these character interpretations (and I mean all) have been irreparably damaged for me due to SP. Shame. Having said that, even if the film had been better pulled together, I think there are issues with the casting choices. Na…
  • Thanks @DaltonCraig007. I haven't seen that film yet and so will pass on the clip for now. I'm hoping to get to it this week. I have low expectations given it's a DC effort, but let's see. Some of the comments in the movie thread have been positive.…
  • Nolan's ability to keep a viewer emotionally invested, deliver a visually thrilling experience, and tell a complex story in a manner which engages the masses is unique in the industry at the moment imho. He really is a commercial and critical film m…
  • Excellent choices @DaltonCraig007. I had forgotten about the FF5 chase. That's a great one. The jump through the window in The Bourne Ultimatum is still amazing all these years later - when I first saw it I was completely blown away by that entire s…

  • It is excellent @FoxRox. I prefer Inception personally, but this one runs it close. When I'm in the mood even Interstellar does the trick. He has an impressive knack for telling relatively complex tales in engaging ways. It's quite a skill.
  • The Prestige (2006) It’s been a while since I’ve seen this one, and it’s as good as I remembered it. Christopher Nolan expertly weaves together a sombre turn of century tale of broken friendship, relentless ambition, unhealthy obsession, inabi…
  • jake24 wrote: » Norway and Canada have not been confirmed, but both are substantial rumours. Thanks.
  • Has Norway been confirmed then? I thought some chap involved with the production mentioned something about freezing his sack off in Canada this winter, suggesting some action scene set there as well? In terms of cable car, while I like the idea i…
  • It's a good point about the budget. More importantly, we don't know what kind of arrangement MGM has with Universal and Annapurna. The deal structuring & the splits will impact the break-even point. It has to get cut four ways this time, with EO…

  • FYEO vs OP - this is a very difficult choice. Two very different turns from Moore which I enjoy equally. I find myself revisiting FYEO far more often these days. There's something about the winter scenes in that film which draw me right in, similar …

  • @FoxRox, you're in for a treat. It's my favourite non-Bond Craig film. Rooney Mara is really good in it too. Enjoy!
  • The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) I've watched this David Fincher directed film a couple of times over the past few years and it never gets old for me. It’s very well made and nearly all the elements that I find important in a film come to…
