yes the script was weak but the chemistry was zero.
A friend met her and Brad a few years ago socially and said she was stark raving bonkers.
I'm just not a big fan of Americans in Bond movies. There are exceptions, like Felix, but as the main villain I don't feel it's a good idea. Walken was okay I suppose, but Joe Don Baker was pretty lame.
That the formulaic approach in SP didn´t work obviously has more to do with overall storytelling and pacing than with the times. Mendes just didn´t find the groove.
I don´t think so. Just watch the news. Reality overtook Bond, the filmmakers just need to pick anything and adapt it.
To quote yourself, @bondjames, you have my overwhelming support and approval for these ideas!
Could you elaborate a little more, please, @CatchingBullets ? ;)
Blofeld being Bond's foster brother is the stupidest part of the story. The Nine Eyes part could have been interesting but they do nothing with it. We just see Denbigh lobbying for it while Spectre commits acts of terrorism off screen.
With better writing, a director who wasn't bored, better music and Bond and Blofeld not being foster brothers, Spectre could have easily been much better.
I wish Martin Campbell directed it. It could have been amazing.
I first read that as "retweeted". They put out major motion pictures on Twitter now.
I just want the next film to be a fun and action packed mission minus melodrama for Bond 25 and I'll be happy, and Craig is back to being a badass.
Thats true
True again. This not bleeding nonsense doesnt work for him
I'm surprised we're ignoring this quote and still arguing about Spectre...
@CatchingBullets Has strong links to Eon and has written books on Bond that have given huge behind-the-scenes scoops. I think @CatchingBullets comments pretty much confirm Boyle's 'great idea' is a Bond period piece.
I can almost guarantee we are getting a 1960s set film akin to X-Men: First Class. I'm totally down for a Bond concept album film, just a little sad we can't get it for the reboot. Also, can we have Michael Fassbender instead of Daniel Craig? Craig is a little too modern for the era.
Truthfully speaking, some of P&W's drafts were better than anything the film offered us. Many things that made sense were cut out from the scripts which was why the film was problematic and not received as greatly as its predecessor (as much as it pains me to say that). The plot was inconsistent.
What was the two-film arc? I didn't read the leaked emails.
Agree Craig's Bond works better when gritty and unrelenting.
That’s one huge leap you’ve made there.
Still I agree with @ggl007 and @Pierce2Daniel I am hoping @CatchingBullets will be able to expand on what he meant by that comment. Perhaps it will be a filming style or way of story telling that will be drastically different and not just what the narrative is.
Way of storytelling has a lot to do with narrative. And I can't think of a really different filmstyle?
But I can't see Craig doing a 60s period film. It's strange to have him play 4 movies in present time and his final movie set approx.50 years earlier.
I guess it is a good idea for a new Bondactor.
Curious if CathingBullets wants to tell a bit more. Maybe he already said to much.
I'm curious to know more about these recent cryptic potential insider remarks myself.
