It is inconceivable to me that Waltz would have taken on the role in this film if he were not Blofeld. And from what we saw of the pics of the final scenes in London, the spots on his face are a total give away. There is the strong possibility he …

I'm amazed about how they kept this a secret for so long. There were other musicians involved, a recording studio with techs around, managers, hangers on etc. just crazy that absolutely nothing has leaked. We know no more today than last fall. Ma…

Is it a big "positive" deal? Like it's not an announcement that Craig isn't doing B25. Maybe a major interview. We're gonna drive you nuts with questions.

Hey @marketto007, you always know stuff. Is it a big deal "something's coming" or not so much? I know you have to protect your sources, but we will sure try to get more hints from you.

There is fair criticism, and cheap self serving criticism of the films. Horowitz trashing SP based on a trailer is cheap. It's like he's saying, the films, which he is using to promote his book, suck, so don't go see SP which he knows stinks, just …

I've begun to look at some of these writers who write these Bond books as parasites. They don't talk much about Fleming or the books, they mostly just discuss the movies because the films are what keep the market going for the books and what they a…

Good points @haserot. Some have posted that the contracting process for the distribution studio should go smoothly and not impact the next film. The contracting process could also be full of really crappy stuff, and it could seriously impact Bond2…

Never thought of Gaga initially either until everyone started posting about her. EON picking her makes a lot of sense. She has a big voice, can sing pop, jazz or something edgy, and can write her own music. I'm not a fan of some of her wacky beha…

That's true, good reviews and successful BO often don't correlate at all, but tracking by certain US sources have been very accurate, and that is what I've been watching.
-
The US tracking is poor and all 3 of NY city's major newspapers slammed it. Rolling Stone also. These 4 critics along with Variety and the Hollywood Reporter who also panned the film, are the big guns in the US. Given the poor tracking and major …

Hope you are right @dinovelvet. I just don't remember having the same sense of concern about SF's success. I think it was because there were none of the Sony leak, huge budget and script mess issues. It also didn't have SF's 1b BO to be measure…

I'm not a fan of Cruise's personal life, but I very much respect his film smarts. He is really the brains behind the entire MI franchise, and he is very astute in his choice of directors and script writers. I thought MI5 was terrific and SP has re…
-
I think SP has a tough road ahead to come near SF's BO. SF had a very clear field re limited spy film competition in 2012, had a PR bonanza with the Queen's Olympics video, plus the long 4 year delay between Bonds had to help. Nobody knows what ki…

Just a clarification on my posts about not wanting EON to go back to casting a pretty Bond etc etc. I in no way meant the posts as a slight to Brosnan. I've seen him interviewed many times and he is an intelligent and gracious guy who got no favor…

This is the Variety review and probably the films first major review. It likely nails why the film will fail and why Cavill will never be Bond. http://variety.com/2015/film/reviews/the-man-from-uncle-film-review-1201556925/

So what happened to the big deal Bond Title song announcement today that Evans implied would happen?

Renner is a good actor, but he ain't leading man material and he will never take over for Cruise on MI. As with Bond, if MI continues after Cruise, and it's debatable it will, they will likely go younger. Bourne Legacy did not make a profit (studi…

I've long thought Charlie Hunnam ticks all the boxes. He is a little rough, but he can clean up well. Dan Stevens would need to bulk up a bit, but he is also a good prospect. These guys have the talent, the right attitude, and the right level of …

EON could shut down the Craig is getting replaced buzz in the press, and on this site, if they simply put out a clear statement that he is doing Bond 25. But they haven't, and it looks like they won't. That lack of clarification is encouraging thi…
