  • I know a little about women, Thunderball (please and thank you!)

  • Those comments were made in December, I believe, so I think he already would have been circling this “secret project” back then. Whatever it is, it’s clear that he is trying to clean up his slate, having dropped out of a long-gestating TV series …
  • He has stated publicly that before tackling the third Dune film, he wants to get a separate project in: According to Variety, Villeneuve gave an update on Dune: Messiah, which is expected to conclude his Dune trilogy, during a South Korean press …

  • Very nicely said and you’ve summed up my feelings as well, @DarthDimi … This is also a hugely collaborative effort to put films like these on the big screen (as @moneyofpropre2 has shown in his 1300 plus pages of research ). There will be producers …
  • If one watched Revolutionary Road or American Beauty, would one have seen a future Bond director? If one watched Monster's Ball or The Kite Runner, would anyone imagine the same director would have delivered QoS? If one watched cheesy flicks l…
  • I’m almost thirty pages in, @moneyofpropre2 … This is quite the Bible!! How long did it take you to research, write and then edit this down the very full 1300 plus pages?? What a remarkable achievement, my friend! I’m in awe.

  • @Denbigh has that great little optimism that’s always nice to read around these corners!
  • Very cool @moneyofpropre2 !! I just downloaded!!

  • 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…
