If Craig was motivated by money, he wouldn't have taken 3 years off between Bonds and even backed out of the 2 films he was going to do. He threw away huge financial leverage after SF by not doing a single film before SP. I think he has more than e…

I don't see how the titles sequence could do anything other than exploit all of the Day of the Dead imagery from the PTA. It's just too obvious a theme to ignore. We're gonna get a lot of skulls and skeletons in that thing.

He'd probably love to use his go to guy, Hardy, but Hardy is so big these days with so many good roles to pick and choose from. Bond is a grind that requires total scheduling priority. But who knows, if Nolan just does a 3 picture deal, maybe it w…

Looks like June 23. Hope he is just busy with work or on a long vacation.

Yes. I should have quoted you on it. I know that they have copied elements from Bourne and Batman, but I don't think it has been as extensive as the way MI has been copying Bond. They have copied almost every key Bond element.

Someone posted a while ago that there aren't any original ideas left in all of these actions films. They just recycle the ideas. But MM for me was different. Even though it was the 4th film in the franchise, it was so inventive and smart in the s…

Where is @timmer? He hasn't posted for months or maybe I'm just looking at the wrong threads. Hope he is ok. Some are taking a LOA from the board so as not to be spoiled but I think he read the leaks. He's been one of the more thoughtful poster…

I'd rather AM, but I hope you are right in that it was so looking like Smith, that I'm almost happy if it's her simply because it is not him and she is good for marketing. She also has a far better voice than Goulding, the other big push. BUT - it…

It's just been very obvious to me that Cruise has systematically been turning MI into his Bond clone. I have read numerous reviews which note how similar MI has now become to Bond, but he has mostly received no criticism at all about it in the pres…

I'm open to criticism here that I'm being unfair to Cruise re his copying Bond so heavily in RN. Maybe I'm wrong as there are no original ideas left for these films, but MI just seems to have moved way into Bond's world.

The tracking by the better tracking sources is not good. Good reviews, if it earns them, will mean nothing. We see countless examples of poorly reviewed films that get killer BO, and great reviews counting for nothing. I'll be really surprised if…

[quote="doubleoego;474322" I somewhat agree. It's a different kind of pressure SP is facing when compared to the pressures of CR. Craig is proven and has legitimately cemented himself as Bond and performance wise he always delivers. Unfortunately S…

I'd love to think that EON would never pick a minimal talent like CavIll simply because he's pretty. Craig raised the acting bar too much for them to go that route. But if EON is dumb enough to to pick Smith for the title theme, than yes, they a…

I've watched Cavill getting interviewed and saw his Superman. He's 3 for 3. No personality, no acting talent, and if Uncle tanks (which it is possibly tracking to do) no BO appeal.

You didn't read my post correctly. I was referring to the site I linked to which WAS entirely accurate. That site was tracking MI5 at 60 million and lowered the figure a few million just before it opened. It was correct. I was not referring to t…

I think the problem with any negative reaction to a hugely popular film is kind of normal. A smaller success will usually have an audience that digs the director or the stars or the writer and is more likely to like the film on initial and delayed …

I will be gutted if it is Smith but I do think we are deliberately getting all kinds of phony redirection by various players in this scenario. Smith is my #1 worst choice, not just because he is so undeserving of and wrong for the job, but it just …
