His face is too pursed. He’s a fine small screen performer. Not sure he can fill a big screen, carry a franchise on his shoulders and make his run the success EoN has been accustomed to (especially during the past 15 years). Maybe he can, but I ha…

Sope is alpha all the way. Oozes masculinity. Athletic. Handsome. Swagger. I'd rather him as 007 than the majority of the suggestions (that mostly name actors who are... fine, but.... Predictable in their performances. Not bad actors, but most don't…

Please show us one of these stories from years ago.

@ByRoyalDecree … do you write scripts? Have you optioned your own screenplays? I’d love to read your work.

@slide_99 ... Who is apologizing to who? And why? The arrogant entitlement of a ticked-off fan-boy...

@echo: you're correct that dates are established in advance and there's jokeying and posturing on the part of the studios. But release dates can always be changed. And they are. Every year. EDIT: sorry for the double post; I was answering some…

Eon may get the blame, but they don’t really set release dates. That’s more their partners who distribute the film. Eon owns and produces Bond films. MGM finances and, with partners, works the P&A and distributing (release/dates) the finis…

I hear you @Jordo007 … filmmaking really is a gamble. No one sets out to make a crappy movie, but millions of decisions are made on a project that can steer a script right into rocky terrain…. Other times, a film just strikes perfectly. It’s a mi…

@Venutius : He also said that Hodge's script wasn't finished. Anyone know what happens in scenarios like this? Will EON own the unfinished script or will Boyle and Hodge be able to repurpose it for a film of their own? Eon commissions scrip…

@Jordo007 … you’re welcome! I love talking about the process!! Spectre was certainly in trouble during development, but it seems nobody had the appetite to put that film on pause. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: wished someone pu…

There was a lot of activity during Covid-- the main one being: marketing and releasing a successful film that had been sitting in the digital can, losing money on interest alone. Each of the Bond films is its own entity and needs a budget and fin…

Well, in the end, I found it a damn beautiful film, a wonderful way of tying up this era, and the family dynamic, to me, certainly made this conclusion far more powerful. Obviously the stakes are driven up when you’re trying to save the people you l…

😂 @Burgess all good points…. And my perspective is definitely fuelled by BB making some very clear statements in the media— my assumption there is she only speaks very carefully. But you’re right on especially this point: I do hope they get Holl…

@JustJames ... Wait until you watch all five; I was already a fan of this era, but after viewing each of the Craig films over five nights, I loved how themes introducd in CR were threaded through his run, tied into a beautiful bow by NTTD...

I'm not saying Bond won't continue... And as I told another member of this forum, with acquisitions everyone knew there'd be changes. It's about the two people who "resigned"; the two people who BB has cited as the ones who will give EoN time and…

That would definitely be the scariest job in the world 😅... And not one i'd pursue. And think about the roasting on these boards! Third degree burns all over @thelivingroyale

This is not good news. This was a corporate knee capping. The two people that Eon have worked quite closely with, and indeed were called out by BB as being the two people that will give them the time and space to move forward, are now gone. In t…

@AstonLotus … you definitely warp reality to fit your narrative: Spectre DID make less than SF , and deservedly so. But NTTD was the first big blockbuster, that skews older (as was just discussed above your post), that came out during a pandemic, a …
