So, can anyone help us work backward from a release date in late 2019? How much time would they generally spend in post? How long a shoot do you predict? How much time, given a more or less finished script, to finish casting, location scouting,…

I'm feeling uncharitable at the moment, so I'd say my fix for AVTAK would be to cut it out . . . entirely. OK, OK, a few stray thoughts: -Several people are too old here. Rog obviously, but Lois and even, bless him, Patrick. -Saying that, Mac…

Forgot to mention, there's of course plenty I wouldn't change about FYEO. Chief among them: the poster. That thing is bloody perfect.

For me, the biggest problem with FYEO is tone. Lots have pointed out that it was an attempted 'course-correction' after the indulgence of MR. Fair enough - we open with Bond at the grave of his dead wife. But within the very same PTS, we've got…

So then, just for fun, let's play this out. If we count backward, what needs to be in place to start shooting in December? And what kind of shooting/editing schedule do we need to get a movie out 11 months after the start of shooting?

Here's one: I'm a very big fan of Craig - I really like him in general, like him in the role, and like his movies. I also think he's got a great look for the part. But: on the way to the Macau casino in Skyfall, he looks awful. I think it's…

I've said this before, but I'm struck by what feels like a squandering (or anyway, a lack of good capitalization) on the huge amount of goodwill and brand power that EON had after SF. The end of that film was exciting, for sure, and not just for …

Well I very much hope you're right, @Pierce2Daniel . Of course I'm hoping the next film will be great, but EON haven't been filling me with confidence lately. Meanwhile the calendar fills up with blockbuster releases that will make for tough compet…

Looks like the new 'Ant Man and the Wasp' could be good fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_rTIAOohas

I wouldn't say that I outright 'hate' MR, but it's definitely an examplar of what is, to me, one of the bigger crimes of the Moore era: self-indulgence. I can't put much blame on Rog here - I think we mostly agree that the man did admirable work …

10% off t-shirts? Wow, that's sad. Take better care of this property, EON!
