That PTS is awesome, then everything kinda falls apart. Though the spectre plane scene is very fun and inventive
The fight choreography was beautiful.

The consistency with which Barbara and Michael tend to tell stories makes them appear quite honest, and Barbara´s passion for film is contagious.
But I will have a hard time forgiving her not interrupting the interviewer when he disses QoS by relating to Mendes as succeeding Martin Campbell.
Even though she doesn´t go directly into the sacking of Brosnan, she sounds honest enough when she says that a transition from one lead actor to the next is always very difficult, and how she says it.
She skirts the edge of believability when she brings up Cubby´s advice, "Don´t let them screw it up." I was just starting to get annoyed to hear that with a film like SP in my memory, when she went on citing Cubby, "When you screw it up, you screw it up, but don´t let them screw it up." That kind of redeems her a bit.
There don't talk about QOS. I am more disapointed about Judi Dench comment from him that he thinks that Sam Mendes idea. She correct him, that it be writers. A disapointed from her is that she don't say that idea already be something there think about whyle making Casino Royale. Also she anser quistion about production company that is open for more then one movie and no intrest in spinoffs and crossovers whyle she producers.
Intresting that she in 1998 already think about Daniel Craig as Bond. In my opnion disapointed there let us wait 4 years then. Also intresting that Dana let Barbara born in Vs, but after a couple of weaks go back to England.
Overall a interview with quistions and ansers we heard before. I am not naive i thinking we get more ansers if interviewer ask better quistions.

What, you didn't like TWINE or DAD? ;)
Disney don't need Bond at all. Like seriously.
--Interviewer refers to MGW as her stepbrother. They're half-siblings (same mother). But I see this mistake made every so often.
--She says Dr. No was filmed in 1961 (a reference to being on the beach in Jamaica). Filming began January 1962. But this is the kind of thing people can mis-remember, especially if the interviewer doesn't catch it.
--As noted above, they say Bond 25 is coming out in November 2018 when the announced date is November 2019.
Additionally, they can crush Bond at the box office if they want to with any of their franchise offerings. Honestly, as @doubleoego said, they really don't care about it. Neither do Warner, given what they did with WW (perhaps they know what's going down with a potential release date move or they have insight into the script and aren't concerned).
Even if we do, the film is still just under 2 years our, strap yourself in, it’s gonna be a long wait...
They may announce the director soon but cast will be announced in a year
Between 1:35 and 1:36, re: distributors.
"They are some interesting people out there. We'll hopefully be be making that decision sometime early next year."
->The "one picture deal" is not a sure thing, with Broccoli stating that they're more open. Passion is the main thing they're looking for.
->"I'd like to think the family will continue, but Bond belongs to everybody. He'll survive, whatever happens."
After listening to the podcast, I was hoping other readers would temper their impatience just a little, and know that the franchise is a family business, that the matriarch of the enterprise loves the character and respects the history (going back to Fleming), and understands the character will "always survive"...
I think she has an inkling of what she's doing as a producer.
SP was nowhere close to a perfect film, but, as was discussed, the shit really hit the fan when DC blew out his knee.
And it was Babs, and her team, including her co-producer and star, that kep the show on the road.
It gave a little insight into what productions are actually like (constant problem-solving), or as @RC7 and @ColonelSun have already explained: it's like going to war.
Thanks @AlexanderWaverly for sharing the podcast. I found it insightful, and my already high-levels of respect for Barbara have just gone up again. She's hardly the lazy, feminist-militant trying to re-shape Bond into something unrecognizable; she's not the directionless, clueless fool that's often been characterized on these pages.
In fact she's sharp, a great story teller, articulate, a cinephile, as said before, passionate, but incredibly and shockingly humble.
Actually the shit hit the fan when they decided to film that script. Nothing she could say can redeem her as a producer in my eyes. There is just too much going wrong in so many of her movies.
