Oh god shoot me now.
Ok good good. Makes me feel good about him.
Age appropriate.
#OneToo
The Telegraph headline is also rather misleading because Boyle doesn't say he'll be acknowledging the "MeToo" movement in B25. His actual quote is: “You write in real time. You acknowledge the legacy of the world [of Bond] and you write in the world – but you also write in the modern world as well.”
Ah, I miss the days when films were made for pure entertainment.
No one here has ever asked for a plain vanilla or by the number of approach. What some people are lobbying for, and some are obviously not capable to wrap their mind around, are scripts with a minimum amount of logic in it and a James Bond that just somehow stays true to how are certain Mr. Fleming envisioned him.
Having said that, I don‘t think Hodge needs to write something radically new to be „in line“ with today‘s climate.
Oh yes great! Another "old" woman starring as the main Bond girl. These are indeed troubling times, when not even James Bond movies deliver eye candy.
Hahaha I know,i was joking..got to have a bit of female fluff in a Bond film he he ;)
I was at the Bond in Motion exhibition last weekend!
I personally think the original Bond films very smartly evoked the spirit of the 60s freedom movement while still being classy. The films were quite progressive for their time but still had a throwback aspect to them. Connery himself perfectly captured that middle ground between the old times and new. There was an element of counter-culture to them.
That's what he needs to tap into for this millennium.
Yeah, Boyle was just asked a question, and played it safe with the answer.
What does a 'Boyle Bond' film mean? Not being familiar with his works I can't say, but I sincerely hope that EON uses this opportunity to reposition the franchise for the next phase in its growth. A lot has happened in the world since SF, and I think the time is right to make a Bond film which defines the character in the context of the times we live in.
I have a feeling that is why they are leaning towards Boyle. He seems to be the type of film maker who can do that.
Indeed, it was an expected answer, really.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. Boyle is a veteran, he is 61, Daniel Craig is still Bond. I think we might have something more like a refreshed end with allusions to the previous four films.
Hasn't it become counterculture again?
This could become very tiresome to say the least and I just hope that the production team don't over react.
Exactly. If Metoo is the new norm, then Bond is a part of the counter culture. He's back where he started in the 60's.
I don't see why every property on the planet has to be a part of the same bandwagon. Surely diversity is a good thing.
It seems like the Mary Whitehouses of the world have taken over.
Where is the drive ?
That's what I'd like Boyle to pull off. Appease the #MeToo'ers while turning his back on them. The film must cut both ways.
My question at this point is how long Boyle/Hodge have been in "talks." And I wonder when DC knew.
Plus, like all directors, Boyle has certain actors he likes to work with. McGregor is one, and it would be interesting to see if he's cast somehow.
That's perfectly sound, and right. I don't think these people are that hard to hoodwink, to be honest. Danny is a northern lad, he's not as cosmopolitan as he lets on.
But the mewtwo movement and feminism seems to be the mainstream these days. Hollywood sets the agenda, and we are being pushed ever further in one direction. In that environment, Bond with his philandering ways is no less counter culture than he ever was in the 60's. The Mary Whitehouses brigade never went away, they just swapped sides.
