Craig and Mendes apparently clashed creatively during Spectre to the point where their relationship disintegrated. Mendes was very quick after Spectre to say no more, and whatever happened on Spectre left a bad taste in Craig's mouth. I wonder if Waltz is referring to Mendes.
Sounds like an apt description, if you ask me.
I think he is. It's also been reported Waltz clashed with Mendes as well.
Mendes,it seems,didnt do SP any favours..no wonder its so messy in places,if all this background hostility was going on.
For me the glaring problem is Blofeld doesn't have a great plan or diabolical scheme which drives him (and the plot) - and therefore gives the actor something to get his teeth into. I do like SP, but this flaw is a big one. Fleming always made sure his villains had strong and ambitious plans which ramped up the drama and excitement - even Blofeld in DAF had his diamond-powered laser pointed at the world.
Not only that but apparently they want cars that turn into subs (done before of course),spacecraft and interstellar travel,and Monica Belluci to come back...blimey.
Has to be Mendes. Tho this does make me happier that we won’t get Mendes most likely
Tilda Swinton (won 1 Oscar):
Sylvia Hoeks (won 1 Golden Calf):
Julianne Moore (won 1 Oscar):
Meryl Streep (won 3 Oscars):
Cate Blanchett (won 2 Oscars):
Now I give you all a task. Please rank these 5 actresses in TOP 5 order: Who could be the best Irma.
True. Blofeld should always have a diabolical plan/scheme, as he's a criminal mastermind after all. As for DAF-Blofeld, I think Charles Gray was fine. Could see him as a more serious Blofeld too, hadn't the film been so camp.
2.Swinton
3.Shoek
4.Moore
5.Streep
Charles Gray is very creepy and threatening in The Devil Rides Out, so he could most definitely have played Blofeld with a nastier edge, but I still enjoy his performance. Telly remains the best in OHMSS.
My list as well. Moore perhaps not a big candidate, as she stars in Kingsman: The Golden Circle? That being said, Blanchett/Swinton should be the only two considered, in my opinion.
Never seen that one. Will have to check it out. The Savalas-Blofeld was the performance I hoped and expected to see in SP.
You just beat me to it,i was going to say that,he is seriously scary in that film.
Hope the producers find the director the actors know they’re alright with and the script to be in a good shape so the director, whoever he is, measures it up with a vision and has them tailored to the cast’s strengths.
I’m even willing to give Watlz’s Blofeld a second chance if the actor claims he could’ve done a better job. The director has to take that into account.
Why? Because you want to believe it? Hint: he wasn't talking about Mendes. He was very likely talking about Paul W.S. Anderson, director of The Three Musketeers.
Calm down, mate. Just speculating. But Waltz seems to be discussing a film many people have seen, and that isn't 3 Musketeers or Green Hornet which died without trace. And he and Mendes clashed on SP, so it's a reasonable speculation, but only that.
There's a Green Hornet film – with Waltz?!
This idea would be good, in theory. But good god what the f#@k was Temime thinking? Her idea for that costume is utterly stupid. Bond is a spy on a mission, and yet the impression we're given is that Bond is trying way to hard to impress Madeleine on their FIRST dinner date. So are we to believe Bond packed this amount of clothing for his mission? He bought a white tailored suit in Tangier just for Madeleine? Good god what a bloody mess.
@SeanCraig Have you seen The Three Musketeers? Have you ever heard of Paul W.S. Anderson?
Liked the suit on the posters, but it felt odd watching Craig wearing it in the film. Didn't think much of it, but, this is probably why.
However, a new director, a strong vision, and make it count— go out with a bang.
Yes, Waltz is the villain. He is quite good in it.
He gives off the stench of an actor who peaked in his two Tarantino films and is fast becoming a has been, at least in my view.
Oh please cool down, mate, it's just speculation - this is a forum discussing Bond after all. It just sounds like he's talking about a more recent film which a lot of people have seen - and that narrows the field down quite a bit, plus it's known, even from his own comments, Waltz wasn't satisfied with how his performance turned out in SP -- and when an actor states such a thing it generally means not being happy with the filmmaking experience - hence the director - Mendes. So it's perfectly reasonable speculation.
And BTW I know Paul WS Anderson very well, have done for over 20 years, have even stayed at his beautiful home in LA. You might not rate him, but he's very successful in Hollywood and knows how to navigate the very tricky scene out there.
Never heard of it, haha!
