According to IMDB, Pierce Brosnan has appeared in 99 roles - films and tv. His 100th role is likely to be the thriller Fast Charlie. Release date not confirmed. I wonder if his family should give him a special 100th role cake to mark the occasio…

Cinema is facing a sort of existential crisis? Post pandemic, I can't see how studios can make consistent profit on films with budgets in excess of 200 million dollars plus marketing costs. Maybe the cost of production vs profit margin is not work…

Cruise is old now so mtm wrote: » I think there's a finite amount of ways of doing a chase so I don't think they're copying Bond per se. That said, this poster does look quite familiar! :D Aren't they on the wrong sides of the car? …

The general consensus is Dial of Destiny is flopping. However, stateside/and in Canada it did open bigger than No Time To Die. 60.4 million opening vs NTTD US/Canada opening of 55.2 million. Will DOD match NTTD's worldwide gross 774.2 million? Ma…

Apparently the greatest threat to mankind is AI so given the looooooomg wait for Bond 26 maybe the next Bond will be a AI CGI deep fake avatar. Hopefully something like... Looks better than Aaron Taylor-Johnson! ;))

Not a title suggestion but a promo tagline for Bond 26. The teaser poster is James Bond in shadow. Below the image is the text No mission is impossible for this man. Bond 26 - coming soon. It's a cheeky reference to the Mission Impossib…

I'll mention the morbidly obese elephant in the room. It's so fat hardly any can get in and out of the room... Harrison Ford is far too old to be playing Indiana Jones. That's not a cheap ageist comment. It's painfully obvious he's miscast due…

That photograph is similar in pose to the Dr.No soundtrack cover depicting Sean Connery with his arms around Ursula Andress. 007HallY wrote: » Not going to lie, I really do see flashes of Craig in this photo of Carmichael. It's probably …

Finished the book. My overall review... Despite my comment in my previous post about the "plodding plot" - I enjoyed the novel. Hororwitz description of Russia and the cold war period is very good. In order of preference I'd rate the trilogy: …

Best trolling thread on the site. I applaud Pierce2Daniel for his masterful trolling. I'm sure the ghost of Ian Fleming would agree with your first post. Not!!!!!!

Yet to complete the book, but it's a plodding plot. I'm up to page 200 and no mention of a plot of any substance. Steel Hand want Bond to undertake an assignment but zero information provided. 200 pages and no reveal yet! The story (so far) lacks mu…

The ramp has been changed to rocky terrain understandably, but I don't see that the background has been comped in. He's doing the jump. Not sure what you mean wire safety? The close ups on Cruise in the halo jump looked green screened. Param…

I made an error posting my last comment. Copy and paste mess. 🙄 I'll repost it. Sorry.

The motorbike stunt is cgi. The mountain terrain, the background all composites. Cruise did do jumps with wire safety as YouTube video promotion but we'll have to see if any of that footage actually appears in the final cut. The halo jump was all…

Currently reading With A Mind To Kill... I wonder if Steel Hand would have been a better/more suitable title for the novel? Personally, I'd have gone with that title. It's the name of the criminal organisation. Sounds sinster. With A Min…

Dean would have probably died in a car crash anyway. Apparently he was a crazy driver so my guess is he wouldn't have reached old age. It was claimed he had a death wish due to depression. Dean's mother died when he was a boy. Older actors tend t…

I haven't seen the film so I assume the title makes perfect sense but I'd rate.. Operation Mincemeat ...one of the worst title I've ever seen. ;)) I'm glad Ian Fleming never wrote a title like... Operation Kill Dr. No 🤭 Ian Flem…

Disney has tarnished its brand with the handling of Star Wars. Countless Star Wars films announced and axed. Lucasfilm (owned by Disney) has made Star Wars a laughing stock. Every feature film announced after Rise of Skywalker (ep 9) has been cance…

It seems a black and white kinda thing. No middle ground. If you never want to see Bond die then you can *never approve* of the decision to kill him off nor approve of NTTD's ending. No-one will ever convince you to look at the overall merits …

It crossed my mind... you could argue getting lots of press attention as the next Bond may be detrimental to your mental health! For example: Aaron Taylor-Johnson may actually believe he will be the next Bond (let's say he did a positive screente…
