  • Yesterday I rewatched Munich. First time was in 2005 and now I notice that James Bond, Hugo Drax and Dominique Green star in it.

  • A 2nd wave in Autumn is pretty much a given. Theaters will re-open in the summer but then they will close again. To predict the future is impossible and I don’t want to sound too pessimistic but a further delay will happen at some point.

  • Hopefully the film won’t be shortened in order to increase the amount of daily shows, given the circumstances.
  • CR SF SP QOS GE TWINE TND DAD Yes, I prefer the Craig era. XD
  • Same here. Already feels like a totally different film.

  • New release date for Tenet in Italy: August 3 instead of September 18. It looks like Nolan doesn’t care about Tenet being “successful”, instead he wants to be remembered as the one who saves theaters and movie chains.

  • #6 for me. I can perfectly understand why lot of people here kinda hate it, on the other hand.
  • “Now it’ll just be another ridiculously successful pre-Thanksgiving action movie.“ Liking the optimism.
  • Denbigh wrote: » @matt_u, I see what you’re saying but my point is about the character of Bond, not how successful it would’ve been. I know that will be a factor, but in the terms of who James Bond was in those films and the stories he was involve…

  • Bond 25 will feature a black woman playing agent 007 in a JB film. Sooner or later JB will be played by a black man, it’s inevitable. The only thing I’m absolutely sure is that as long as Barbara is in charge she will never pick up an actor becau…

  • So NTTD took the Godzilla vs Kong release date. The film basically won’t face any competition for an entire month in the US.
  • FoxRox wrote: » It’s so silly to even be setting new dates at all at this point. All these films just keep getting pushed further and further, so they might as well say “delayed indefinitely.” Yes. Depressing.

  • Bond is not 007 in the YOLT novel too. I couldn’t be happier seeing they are taking lot of inspiration from the big ideas in that book. JB goin on a mission without his signature license, JB possibly “dying”, the idea of JB being a father...
