He said that indeed @bondjames. He wanted to prove with this new system of money platforms that his latest film "Logan Lucky" could do without big movie bosses and without the established studio system. That's why he came back one more time as a director.
Thing is, "Logan Lucky" was an incredible financial flop. It basically showed that Soderbergh's 'financial idealism' wasn't realistic enough. It simply didn't work.
We also know that Soderburgh has a big heart for James Bond films. For him Bond is even that big, that he decided to write an entire oped about "OHMSS", which is his favourite Bond film.
So given the financial circumstances surrounding "Logan Lucky", it's very disappointing box office results, and his love for Bond, I wouldn't be surprised if Soderbergh can be lured back into making one special blockbuster: that one which is part of the Bond franchise.
And he could sing the title song.
You should have been there for the long wait for a Bond movie between '89 and '06. Nightmare.
Or, in your world, Bond 23?
If it really is Harris talking in a recent interview, then why is nobody mentioning "I am just lucky that it works with Daniel and I’m looking forward to coming back."? Sounds like she's boldly certain that she'll be returning for B25, no?
What's odd is that the article isn't even built around her words. Coming from her, it's a statement with a lot more weight compared to their LA source's script 'revelation'.
Also, why isn't this sold as a proud exclusive? No mention of the event or the reason Harris said that and with no source attached it means they got it first. Can't find the quote anywhere else. Really, really strange.
“They wanted ideas that had not been seen in their franchise before to try to shake things up"
Would suggest that Bond will not be getting married a la OHMSS.
Yes a long wait but not as long as 89-06 (17 years...)
The real exclusive in that article is the comment about the producers reaching out to various writers. Who are these writers exactly? We only officially know about P&W.
Do you keep writing this in different threads? I swear I read the same comment somewhere else. ;)
Yes - it's important to remind the youngsters on a daily basis. Don't know they're born, so they don't!
I don't know... Usually she's very careful about these things, which is why I can't believe what she said. It's not; "Oh yes, Bond 25. The producers haven't spoken to me, but I hope I shall be returning." What she said was blunt and without using smoke and mirrors (a contrast to what we've grown accustomed to). We've had the Oyelowo smile and now we have this slip-up. I just wish it wasn't written at the very end of an Express piece with no outward source cited.
@jake24 what's your take? Title worthy?
As for Bond 25 I will take any title over Shatterhand at this rate
My guess is, that everything she says about reaching out to writers for shaking of the franchise is about Skyfall, Spectre, Logan and friends. If so, she wasn't lying though. They really stirred up the history of the franchise.
Rather an unknown spark of vitality and physical presence.
Quite true, with the exception of franchises with titles like PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAN MEN TELL NO TALES and so forth.
One would think after 50 plus years coming up with a clever title for Bond would be second nature, but I find even the newer continuation novel titles to be lacking.
