  • FoxRox wrote: » I bet P+W's script is very much a direct continuation from SP, and Nolan's idea is not at all connected. Now they're weighing which to choose for Bond 25, to mix some of it, or whatever. I hope if Nolan is the director for B…
  • Bringing in Nolan would give the franchise an additional boost (if it needed it). Nolan directing Bond would be a match made in heaven, but its whether EON would have the balls to do it. They've often shied away from such bold decisions in the past …

  • Sad day all round. First Manchester, now this. RIP to a legend. Goodbye, Mr. Bond!
  • What I want to see is a Bond film which incorporates whatever is left of unused Fleming scenes and storylines (and as we all know there are quite a few), in a LTK/CR type of movie, where Bond looks bloodied and battered, and feels physical pain agai…

  • Just come back from the cinema after seeing the new Alien film. Not bad, some fairly decent scenes, Fassbender steals the show, but there are no huge shocks or surprises with this one. It leaves you feeling you've seen it all before, no matter how g…
