  • @Benny , I didn’t know too much about Wilde as a director (I think she has one or two other films under her belt), but I was blown away by the care that each and every scene took to tell us this story. It was quite amazing, from the costumes, to the…
  • I can’t find the Which Directors Should Helm a Bond film thread, so I’ll put this here… Olivia Wilde, her art director, DP and creative team, made a visually compelling and exciting dystopian film called DON’T WORRY DARLING… Visually captivating,…

  • I think the gap will play a role, no matter how good the film is. It's the time the creatives need to tell the story they want to tell. That has value. If you rush that process, you'll be able to see it in the final production (examples: QOS and …

  • Thanks for replying, @CommanderRoss . I like the way your brain thinks!! @SecretAgentMan⁰⁰⁷ thanks for answering, and thanks for the question. The answer from me is: all the time!! I'll pepper scripts with a few lines I've loved from the series..…
  • Very cool, @DewiWynBond , @Dragonpol , @LucknFate .... You guys are very creative, by the way! I enjoy reading all the suggestions, and there are very many viable "Bond-sounding" titles...
  • Questions to all of the people participating: when thinking of a title, do you first imagine the tone of the film, then fit a title to that? Do you think of tone, and a basic story, then a title? Or jump straight to a title that sounds Bond-li…

  • I'd redo it like this: instead of the bland shoot-em-up on Carver's ship, Bond and Wei Lin are actually in Beijing so the nuke is a direct threat to them. Bond does something clever with Carver's media network, like broadcast some embarrassing foota…

  • @bondywondy , he said what they did: looked at younger actors (Cavill being 22 during auditions). They just found that older actors bring more weight, hence the older, more seasoned actor in Craig ultimately winning the part. Why’d you think he’s…

  • Just went on to look at the rest of your posters. Really incredible, @bartnikp ... I love the YOLT poster, with what appears to be a seething and manic Blofeld, readying himself to crush 007... You're very talented, and bring a very cool, very dark …

  • Yes @sandbagger1 and @LucknFate ... Add on six month shoots, then tours of the world that's really hopping on one flight to another, when the films open. Someone like Dornan has a family and seems very protective of them. Leaving them for half a …
