  • Yeah plus he's got a whole other massive film to shoot and edit first; I'm sure he'll be balancing pre-production on 007 while he does that as I think most big directors are looking ahead to their next project whilst working on their current one, bu…

  • Variety linked to their rundown of possible candidates in their Villeneuve announcement piece; it's from last year but it's pretty exhaustive and names pretty much everyone we have plus a load more. There's some playful suggestions in there too: ht…

  • Ah, well things are certainly happening then. He’s very good, if not perhaps much fun usually. But I guess Mendes didn’t get to show much of a light touch before SF but I thought he handled it very well, so I’ll keep an open mind. DV’s films are alw…
  • Ooh dear, who wrote that?
  • Oh I did like the Italian spy flick inspiration. I wasn't expecting that and it gave it a nice flavour, especially with the music. If Pemberton signed up to Bond I wouldn't be upset.

  • I think it's a fun little detail that Tobias Menzies (Villiers) is the only actor credited in the opening titles of Casino Royale whose character doesn't eventually die in CR or the later Craig films.
  • It doesn't appear in Netflix's own Top 10 globally, either this week or for the last few weeks: https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10 I tried selecting a few individual countries: UK, US, France, Hong Kong, Australia, Germany, Brazil, Denmark etc. -…

  • Looking into it a bit more, DAF was also showing in only one cinema in the UK for those two days in 1971: the Odeon Leicester Square!
  • He was in Doctor Who this last series and I was pretty underwhelmed by the way he handled a villain role, he didn't really add anything to it.
  • I almost wonder if they should do a YA novella to try and get some benefit from First Light with a younger, modern day 007.

  • Yeah I’d be interested in Dickinson. He’s obviously a very thoughtful actor who picks interesting projects and he’s very good onscreen. I don’t quite know what he’d do with Bond, and that makes it interesting to me.
  • I didn’t know about them doing that, but yeah; it sounds rubbish. Putting Bond back in the 60s just isn’t something I’m interested in. I get the feeling some of these directors think it’s a really unique idea and will make Bond somehow automatically…
  • There’s a podcaster I love whose favourite fact is that the On The Buses movie took more at the U.K. box office in 1971 than Diamonds Are Forever did. Which I’m sure is true, but Buses was released in the summer, whereas DAF was released on somethin…
