    What's wrong with the camera angles?! Where?

    With a good script, is there little doubt that we would get a film that would be satisfying and would give the Craig tenure a cohesiveness it so desperately needs? I also think being re-united with Campbell would be invigorating for Craig, a going back to HIS roots.
    I think it's worthwhile to consider the possibility that Craig may not want to work with someone like Campbell. After all, his power within the Bond universe has only grown exponentially since that film, and the sort of directors he has chosen, and apparently wants for B25, are anything but Campbell-like in their approach. No, I think what he's looking for is more of the emotional stuff. Has anyone asked him what his favourite Bond film is? I wouldn't be surprised if he said SF.

    EDIT: If I'm not mistaken, Campbell has said that he would be open to a return if a new actor is cast.

    Craig + Campbell + Arnold = Bookend of the Craig era. Quit chasing prestige and give us a solid,entertaining Bond.

    Complete with bad sets, amateurish camera angles, and the worst costuming in the DC era? Don't get me wrong, CR is on my top 5, but there are some awful things in that film that demonstrate that Campbell is a second rate director. CR is a good film in spite of Campbell and not because of him.
    The camera angles, particularly during the crane fight, were absolutely top notch imho. As for the costuming, I'd rather have Lindy Hemming than Temime. Sure, some of the casual gear was a bit off in CR, but her formal wear elevated the film. Craig hasn't look better than during that first dinner jacket sequence. As for the sets, that was because they didn't have $250M to waste on that film. They were operating on a relatively tight budget, unlike with the later films.

    If one is referring to the outfit Bond wears during the crane sequence, that I can understand. Still, Craig's other outfits looked far better in CR. His suits actually fit, whereas in SF, I can recall him being compared to Pee-Wee Herman on one thread based on his tailoring.

    I believe Craig s sentimental favourite is LALD, as it was the first he saw.

    Ah yes, I knew that. I meant his favourite Bond film among the ones he's done.

    Yes, the casual gear in CR was off (including the jacket he wore when he landed in the Bahamas). However, the suits were spot on and I agree that they fit better (or at least looked more appropriate on someone who is supposed to favour fine tailoring). Actually, come to think of it some of the casual stuff was great, including the blue polo shirt and the white short sleeve shirt he wore when he arrives at the hotel.

    The only thing that's amateurish about CR is the score.

    There's nothing amateurish about CR at all. It's excellent across the board.

    I watched it last night with a few friends of mine. The film actually got better this time around, and the soundtrack was beautifully conducted and outright professional, which didn't even have to use the Bond Theme quite often. I do miss David Arnold.

    CR is as close to perfect as you get in the Bond universe.

    I can't say I miss him, but I agree that the CR score is first class. If he'd scored all his Bond films that way I would indeed miss him.

    It's noticeable how decent his score was in CR when in the last five years we've only had to hear Thomas Newman's abysmal tune repeatedly. I don't know what happened with that composer because he's definitely not bad one outside Bond.

    Peter Thiel (founder of PayPal) would make the basis for a great Bond villain. You could barely make this guy up. There are a lot of elements in this piece that sound like they would fit right into a Bond movie. Anti democratic, Trump-supporting super rich businessman planning for the end times and obsessed with owning his own country. Replace the author with Bond and your half way to a decent Bond plot. Even the artist and gallery elements could be worked in.

    Thiel is also into some really weird anti-aging technology.

    If Eon doesn't go the YOLT route, Bond 25 could be a good time to give us THR.

    Megalomaniacal American villain? Controlled by the Russians?

    The story practically writes itself.

    That is true, haha!
    Could just be an image of Daniel Craig and nothing more – which wouldn't be surprising at all.

    Dear Barbara,

    I know you are reading this. Here's the deal: If you won't officially make a big Bond 25 related announcement by the 5th of March, 23:59 (UK time), I will BOYCOTT every single non-Bond production by EON from now on. I'm serious. No Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool Blu-Ray, no The Rhythm Section, nothing.

    I don't think many of us will be lining up for that Liverpool film. It was shut out of Oscar contention as well, despite having a fashionably important role for a woman. That should say something. Rhythm Section I may view, but I'm not all that excited for it either.

    Regarding March 5th: Craig is still Bond, so I can't see Nolan taking the job this time around.

    At risk of this sounding silly, but has Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool actually been released anywhere? I'm living in an area with only a couple cinemas that mainly play mainstream films.
    I was under the impression Film Stars was to have come out last December.

    Well, if this doesn't work, I don't know what will.
