An interesting tidbit in there @ggl007. “Members of the crew had recently been in Namibia in Africa, scouting for suitable locations to build sets for a planned sequence.” Which kind of squashes the previous rumour that Bond was mostly shootin…

So what you’re in effect saying @matt_u, is that because we’re no longer part of the creative Sixties we now have to accept uninspiring and insipid titles for a Bond movie? For all this talk of the “Old Shatterhand” title being previously used by…

Agreed @Walecs. I thought the same thing when I read that cobbled together DM piece: SP was to some degree a soft retelling of OHMSS with the same themes that you mentioned above. The usage of the Shatterhand title would hint towards delving into th…

Yes, I thought it was a good read @007Blofeld. I haven’t watched QoS in quite a while, but I get where he’s coming from with the Tosca scene. There’s probably too much visually and artistically going on in that footchase sequence after the excellent…

I’m just curious as to how Hodge and Boyle supposedly touched upon the #MeToo and Time's Up movement within their script. If the latest rumours are to believed, this is one of the reasons as to why the script was having problems. Does anyone have an…

Whilst I agree with you that Craig wields too much influence and power, the problem is going to be finding an “auteur” that fits the bill and that’s available to start work straight away and won’t butt heads with their major star. Who’s going to wan…

The big problem is going to be finding a director that’s available to start work straight away, whilst fitting all the other criteria and meeting with Craig’s approval. I think we can safely rule out anymore visionary auteurs, as he/she would slow d…

I honestly don’t know @Ludovico? There could still be a copy at the Anthony Burgess Foundation. In answer to your side note, I’ll admit that there was a part of me that harboured extreme doubts whether Boyle could actually deliver a great Bond mo…

It’s far too early for me to comment without fully understanding what these “creative differences” are. It could either be a blessing or a curse, but without this essential information it’s futile for me to speculate. Am I surprised that Boyle walke…

That’s my own thinking on the entire matter as well @Roadphill.

There’s one important influence that’s been left off the list, I noticed, and that’s whether Bond influenced you to try as many female partners as humanly possible and be a total bounder. In other words, the three Fs. After all, Bond has never been …

I like what I’ve seen of Cliff Curtis, but in no way would I ever consider him as fitting the casting call description of having advanced/physical fighting combat skills. Sure, he’s of Maori descent but his face is far too friendly to illicit menace…

I have to admit that I avoided the trailer, so it was a total surprise to find it such an enjoyable movie @Creasy47. There’s also elements of Bradley Cooper’s Limitless in this movie too. There’s a few things that are a bit rote to help move the sto…

Just watched “Upgrade” staring Logan Marshall-Green. Best movie of the year so far. Kind of like Robocop meets Death Wish via an episode of Black Mirror. It had all the elements of a real smart action/thriller/sci-fi. This is a cult, must see movie …

I’ve made no secret that I’m against this act of cultural appropriation. Bond has had over 50 incredible successful years in the movies of being a mix of Caucasian European heritage, longer if we include the books, so to suddenly shift it to a perso…
