Callum has definitely grown into his looks. Put him in the gym, and he has a nice frame to build long lean muscles. He is a good actor with presence, and a voice. I'm certainly not sold on him as James Bond. But I think he has the talent wo…

I just stumbled across The Ultimate James Bond Medley - Every song from the 25 movies including No Time To Die. If I had the ear of EoN, I’d tell them to go into a dark room, sit in comfy chairs, close their eyes, and just listen to this… Listen …

@Colonel_Venus in the case of Tarantino and Nolan, they’re auteurs. They’re writing for themselves to direct. They are outliers. Not many are given this leeway. They are the 1% . 99% of the films you watch have been done precisely as described…

And NTTD from what I heard, was an actual page one rewrite based off of a P and W concept. However, I have conflicting reports on how far P and W went. Some people told me they wrote a draft (as in a single draft), and others said it was a few outli…

No, not really. Big tentpole films have been using a team of writers for decades and decades. It doesn't mean the script is in trouble, at all. When a studio purchases a script, they purchase it because it is a high scoring screenplay (studios ha…

Building a house isn’t like making a film. Scorsese to Adam Sandler build little companies the way theatrical companies used to do. You build a company of writers and directors and actors and editors… Having an opinion about whether you like a fi…

@007HallY pretty much nailed it. And it does take an army to make a film. That includes writers who may excel at dialogue and character, or a Scott Burns who not only is a screenwriter in his own right, but is a doctor that gets hired to punch up th…

@jetsetwilly , almost 100 percent of big tentpole or Hollywood films have multiple credited writers and about half a dozen uncredited writers aka script doctors. It's not that there's outside interference on any of these movies. It's just the way th…

Nice work! A fun game. I enjoyed reading everyone’s thoughts. My top 10: TLD SF GF TB NTTD OHMSS QoS LTK CR OP Love TLD PTS, from the very first viewing and, all these years later I find it so breathtaking and exciting . For so lon…

as terrible as TWINE is, I think it got the intimacy of Elektra's death just right. Except when Pierce goes over and gives her a good sniffing… And not using an outline? Writers can sometimes be notoriously lazy. They fall in love with the…

@MaxCasino , but how do you know that P and W were the ones that came up with Bond going rogue? I don't have the answer, but how do we know that wasn't what the producers wanted and told them to put it in the scripts, like they told Hodge: write …

Ahahaha I don’t mind what you’re working on there, @mtm (and I’m also a huge fan of the entire third act of SF (well, actually, the whole film), and I do believe in part, that they went all in on Haggis's more spectacle approach because a) they need…

Look at Haggis and Logan, I think both did wonders for CR and SF respectively. But even this isn’t without controversy: according to Haggis, P&W’s script for CR skewed closer to the book when depicting Vesper’s death. He found it lacke…

I was going to bring up TWINE and SF too, @007HallY, so thank you!! It goes to show that if ten writers were given the exact same subject to write about, we'd deliver ten, very different scripts (not to talk about how these stories start to chan…

Character actor... Box office champs have short life expectancies, but character actors have honed their craft and built a stable career proving value and worth every time they're hired.....

@talos7 , another good question and really could be one of two things: they have a macguffin in mind, or they want a macguffin, don’t know what it is, only that they want one, and have their writers come up with something cinematic. @mtm difficul…

Thanks for the correction @Mallory … so what I said about distributors having a say, is fair. It still goes on today. But I'm sure that where BB and MGW were back in ‘97 was a very different place to where they are today. But the distributor still h…

Must be tired: Correct me if I’m wrong on this, but MGM distributed some, if not all, of the Brosnan pics, correct? If so, it’s fair for the distributor to have a say in the cast since they’re also selling the film to market. And in the case …

Teri Hatcher? What happened there? She beat up Barbara Broccoli or something?

But @007ClassicBondFan … you’re not understanding: when EoN and partners put their financing together, they make projections on box office returns…, okay? and, prior to the outlier of SF, 007 adventures weren’t projected to make over a billion. Bond…
