  • Mendes4Lyfe wrote: » "These changes in the Craig era will be Permanent" "Bond always adapts with the times to survive." These two statements are in conflict with eachother. How??

  • I really love all three... I love the angles and colors of the DAD shot... The emotional meaning behind the composition of CR. The depth of the QOS shot. I think I'll go CR..., but that was tough.
  • Arrival, Prisoners, Sicario, Dune (and Dune 2 is getting big-time buzz)… This guy could do a big-scope Bond but with that “human” and grounded touch. He’s a very talented director with a strong vision.
  • I definitely believe that he’s the one they’re after. And just a couple weeks ago he started to clear the decks: he was attached to a TV series with one of his favorite actors, Jake Gyllenhaal, but wiped it off his slate. This was just days after…

  • I think the notion of sex in Bond films is the least of the worries in the upcoming era. Stick with what they started in the Brozz era, that improved mightily in the Craig years: write strong female characters like Natalya, the concept behind Mrs…

  • @talos7 I agree, he has got charisma and the camera loves him. He's only going to get better and better as an actor. I think he needs more time in the oven for his tools of the craft to catch up with his undeniable and big-star presence, but he's go…
