I agree with what you say @thelivingroyale. Apologises to everyone for somehow turning this thread into their movies that they made in tandem with their Bond pictures when it's clearly about "post Bond" and not about the merits of North Sea Hijac…

This is good. At least we won't have to put up with anymore wacky conspiracy theories about Craig being replaced even though he confirmed that he was returning on the Colbert show. Looking forward to finding out the new title and the plot. Let's …

Encouraging news by some of you that have been to see Solo. Personally, I'm done with seeing these movies in the theatre but Solo is the one that interests me the most solely for Alden Ehrenreich's participation, who I've liked in most things I've s…

Sicario: Day of the Soldado and MI: Fallout are the two standout movies that are top of my must-see list. The rest perhaps less so.

Yes, I read that a few weeks ago in my advanced copy of Empire. Thanks @bondjames.

If you're talking about the average moviegoer then you're right, they most likely won't know anything about the stuntwork or stuntmen involved in a movie @patb. If you're talking about a "film buff" then they would know these details. As you quite r…

Love the two clips that @Creasy47 and @DaltonCraig007 posted here. Thanks guys, I hadn't seen those. Personally, I'd say Lazenby got the short end of the stick after Bond. Blacklisted in Hollywood, he had to finance his own movie Universal Soldie…

I must admit after SP's incredibly disappointing ballad, I'm all for a rock style theme again. If it had been a few year's ago I would've given Muse or Depeche Mode the nod over Sam Smith, but they're sadly no longer in serious contention anymore.

Absolutely. To the Owen naysayers, let's not forget that Owen also won both BAFTA and Golden Globe awards for that role too. In fact, he won pretty much every award going that year for his Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. He only l…

I think there have been a few exceptions @Torgeirtrap. David Cronenberg's remake of the 1958 science fiction film The Fly springs to mind. As does Hitchcock's own 1956 remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much, and of course John Carpenter's The Thing. Bu…

I think mentioning Clive Owen is rather a moot point because he was never screen-tested for the role or part of the selection process. We know the ones who were and who were the final two candidates: Craig and Cavill. So it's not unreasonable to pon…

Yes @barryt007. It's based upon the true story of Leo Sharp who was an award-winning horticulturist and decorated WWII veteran known for his prized day lilies when he was busted for running drugs for Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel, led by Joaquín Guzmán, k…

You Eastwood fans probably already know this, but Eastwood is returning to being in front of the camera in his next movie project called The Mule. Details are scant but it tells the true story of a 90 year-old WWII veteran who becomes involved with …

There's no doubt that SF was massively successful and a financial hit. The financial side of the business is the only thing that matters at the end of the day in Hollywood. Whether everybody that went to see it came out entirely satisfied is open to…

I know it's off topic, so I'll be quick. Check him out in The Mechanic (1972) the superior original, and Mr. Majestyk (1974), and The Streetfighter (1975). Sorry for being off topic.
