  • You Know My Name for the Bondie. (a close runner-up is SF) The Writing’s On The Wall for the Klebbie.

  • Very nice post @DarthDimi !…. Very honest and true, and yep, trying to write a Bond scene, or sequence, or script (or Batman, or Superman), can be very humbling. And you’re right, it takes time, lots and lots and lots of time. Unfortunately for m…
  • I think another missed opportunity was not giving Swann and Bond some more scenes to cement their love. As the film sits it feels like they fall in love for the sake of it, and not to really fall in love. This^…. Yes, @thedove …. You nailed i…

  • Father @Mendes4Lyfe , your logic and experience in the film industry is so advanced, I have no idea what you’re going on about. But when you’re on a first name basis with these directors, I guess you just know more about the industry, 🤷‍♂️. Thank…
  • @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…

  • talos7 wrote: » Nothing indicates that he passed on Bond 26 . It’s okay @talos7 — @Mendes4Lyfe likes to make things up as he goes along. This is a book that was just optioned today. They have no script, no actors, no release date.. …
  • @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...
