  • @Mendes4Lyfe makes up things as he goes along. Hollywood is continuing with its IP obsession, and the interesting spec sales are almost dry, just hanging on, and finding life where they’ve found life over the past thirty years: more in the indie …
  • @Mendes4Lyfe , there is no re-set. Franchises go through rebirths about every decade. And you’re talking about a return to grit, when a few months ago you were banging on that audiences wanted more light, whimsical fair. You’re speaking out…
  • Another great read, @007ClassicBondFan ... I especially liked reading about your thoughts on Dalton in TLD... Roll out the next part!!

  • @Kojak007 , I think I said on this very site on, or around Feb 20, that Villeneuve was the main guy… Before these reports, I believe…. Now, the buzz is there— not “breaking news”, and not close to it. But the buzz has started to circulate… IF he…

  • @Kojak007 This was just optioned. They’re about two years away from this going into production if they started now— which they aren’t. They don’t have a script. This project is a long way off. He has a “secret project” that “needs to see…

  • Since Bach is being taken care of quite well, I'll join @goldenswissroyale and nominate Chiles... Ever since I was a kid, she's grated on me... I accept her more in my old weariness, but, yes, she's more wooden than the trees in my front yard...

  • I thought this flick would take me a long time to watch, but, it was suggested to me that it’d be a good idea to watch it, and see what Amazon is up to. So, I watched Roadhouse…. There are one thousand and one reasons why Roadhouse is a terri…

  • You didn't answer my question: if there is any accuracy in what they're writing, EoN would have stepped in, no? They want to do the announcement. And they would have done what they did with Craig: move the announcement forward. I mean, for God's …

  • @Mendes4Lyfe should really, really, really invest in Final Draft Pro and do as I suggested: write the perfect Bond film with this “formula “ you speak of. It will come from the world’s greatest brain. And EoN can’t possibly live up to your sta…

  • @Mendes4Lyfe , a solution may be to buy yourself Final Draft Pro, write your perfect Bond adventure, and that way, every time the fools at EoN don’t live up to your expectations, you can crack open your perfect script, read it, play out scenes and h…

  • I’m a child of the 80s/VHS era. Connery Bond every weekend. That’s my Bond upbringing. I fell in love with those 60s films, and much to the chagrin of my dad, I was passionately in love with OHMSS (although I thought the actor who played Bond …
