I have to agree with @octofinger on this one. I thought some of you were far too quick to bash the tabloids for muckraking in the misguided belief that they somehow wanted to derail B25 by the spreading of malicious rumours, especially now that the …

I was under the impression that The Winds of Winter "was" the final book. I'm not sure where a second climatic book comes in?

I read that when Kevin McClory was planning to cast another actor in his own version of Thunderball, that is before Harry & Cubby stepped in at the last minute with their own co-producing deal, the actor that McClory wanted was none other than L…

Again, I can understand why fans of the show are disappointed, even underwhelmed. (Spoiler) I've said it before, but it'll be interesting to see which direction George R. R. Martin's The Winds of Winter will take. Alas, too late for this televis…

A very good observation @octofinger. I too appreciate the subtle details in a Bond movie. It was those technicalities done with style and panache that you pointed out which made me sit up with a big smile on my face when I first viewed TLD in the ci…

One of my friends has seen it in the Far East and said he enjoyed it more than the second movie. He said he even laughed out loud at something that happens in a library. I have no idea what he's talking about, but it's encouraging news as he's not s…

I think you're overlooking Michael Powell's Peeping Tom which came out the very same year as Psycho, @ringfire211, which is also considered another progenitor of the contemporary slasher film. This "horror" gem was treated extremely harshly by the c…

Reading your opening paragraph @Pierce2Daniel, you did come over a little pompous there. After all, this isn't an undergraduate thesis that's going to get deducted marks on informal character name usage. It's a shame really as it kind of spoiled the…

The Sun story is not dissimilar to a lot of football stories about certain Premier League players that have picked up a serious knock in a match, been ruled out for the following game, to then magically appear on the bench in their full kit ready to…

Not that it matters to the casual Bond fan, but Purvis and Wade write their drafts pretty much independently of each other after agreeing on a breakdown of the story structure. Wade: "Well what we sort of say is you take that bit and I'll take that …

Does anyone have any opinions on Naomie Harris speaking at the GQ Hereos Summit, when she said: "Phoebe Waller-Bridge is going to ramp up the female perspective on Bond 25. The Bond of old, his days are numbered." She's certainly suggesting that the…
-
Just a thought, but with Lord of the Rings currently being remade for television, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the same happening with GoT but it going the other way to the big screen. After all, George R.R. Martin's yet-to-be completed "Th…
-
Yes I agree, so far nothing to worry about. Waller-Bridge even says: "It's really exciting. The film they've got is such an exciting story. It's just been a joy to work on" which bodes well. Also, she praises the previous Bond girls when asked what …

I think the only way we'll see a retro Bond set in the 50s or 60s happening is if Eon no longer require relevant product placement to help co-finance their movies, or it goes straight to television @Getafix. I just don't see that happening while the…

Sadly, I don't think we're going to get an exclusive every day @moneyofpropre2. My guess is that the press have been given certain access to some of the shooting going on over there. Or it could be a simple case of giving some actors a day of rest.

Thanks @leas_mole for the Léa Seydoux update. I think your very wise comment that "the producers had to juggle a lot of talent's schedules with existing filming commitments" is one that some posters here should take into consideration before ruling …

I'm sure Cavill, Turner and Hiddleston will all eventually get their screen tests. However, Barbara Broccoli won't have considered a replacement yet while her golden boy is still Bond. I'm willing to bet she's still pinning her hopes on Craig coming…

This probably isn't the place for this, but when I was out in Thailand during the theatrical release of Spectre, I picked up these promo drinking cups at the cinema. The Thais seem to love their movie promo merchandise tie-ins for virtually every si…

You appear to have made your own mind up on what is exactly happening in B25 @danielcc. Why ask us to fit a story around your cobbled together narrative? After all, you've already decided that Léa Seydoux is hardly in it because she's away making an…

I think a lot of us are quietly worried that Armas might be squandered this way @Univex. Let's hope she can avoid the sacrificial lamb trope, unlike poor Bérénice.
-
I agree entirely @Univex. Bérénice Marlohe was and still is the highlight of that movie for me. Bringing this back to B25, let's hope they don't repeat the same mistake again and do a Bérénice with Ana de Armas and kill her off at the midway point.

I think that "Weird Al" Yankovic video demonstrates just how easy it is for a Bond song to fall into pastiche, which is why I have a concern that some of these personal choices are a bit too conservative to deliver a proper progressive sound. That's…
