Does Cillian Murphy even seem plausible? Daniel Kaluuya? I think not.
Bang on the money! But at least Snatch was brilliant
The Sherlock Holmes films were alright.
sources not identified. However, Variety (which first identified Boyle as in the running) and Deadline (which reported the dueling story lines) are among the more accurate with this sort of thing.
Reddit.
Spang brothers .......
I'd totally line up for a Bond movie directed by the Guy Ritchie who did the Sherlock Holmes movies, but King Arthur Guy Ritchie? No thank you.
That's the problem,it could go either way.
Sherlock Holmes films were very good,but King Arthur was terrible,right down from a total miscast (and not only the main character) to the shit-loads of money it lost.
Too dangerous for Bond,too risky.
I watched it all but considered turning it off several times.
No basis for Bond though, that film.
Thinking about Ritchie gives me fantasies I´m not sure are relevant to Ritchie, but nonetheless, this PC-infested world urgently needs a drinking, smoking, benzedrine-popping, mysoginist bastard of a Bond.
But not Tarantino, that´s not what I mean.
For me, the more CGI that's dominating action sequences, the less detached I am from pretty much the entirety of what's unfolding. I do have some exceptions here and there, but it's mostly what keeps me away from these fantasy action/superhero movies anymore. It's just so blindingly apparent what's unfolding was computer generated, doesn't excite or thrill or interest me at all I'm afraid.
Plus, I honestly thought this was going to be a medieval Sherlock Holmes type film, at least in the cinematography and action sequences and whatnot; had no clue for the longest time it'd be more akin to those horrid Titans movies they did a few years back.
Magic, big old CGI monsters and structures getting ravaged in typically mediocre CGI fashion? That's about all the comparison I need to know it's not going to be for me. Shame, too, I had anticipated it for so long genuinely assuming it was going to be a quite grounded, semi-dark take on the King Arthur tale, but alas it wasn't meant to be.
Yes King Arthur did seem to be a real car crash of a movie. But I think Ritchie would approach Bond with a bit more seriousness. I think he’s made a number of excellent mainstream movies. Lock Stock and the 2 Sherlock Holmes movies were highly entertaining. I personally actually quite enjoyed UNCLE as well - it had elements, such as the amphibious commando assault that I’d have loved to see in a Bond film.
I loved 28 Days Later, and as little as I remember from it, I recall Trance being fairly solid and highly unique.
Ashamed to say I've never seen Trainspotting.
