    Lindy Hemming who is that?
    Costume designer on earlier Bond films including CR. Has an eye for putting our hero in well fitted suits, rather than spandex lookalikes that split in the pant section on set (which is what, regrettably and embarrasingly, happened with current designer Jany Temime's ill fitting concoctions during filming of SP).

    Hemming is one of the best.

    Did Craig really split his pants? I thought this was just a humorous rumor to prove a point about the slim-fitting suits.

    It happened at Blofeld HQ. There's an interview online where Seydoux has a giggle over it (I don't think it went down well that she mentioned that).

    I would think it would make sense for boyle to bring back key crew members from casino royale for bond 25 and remind us with craig's swansong why we fell in love with his bond in the first place

    Craig apparently the highest paid Bond. Over 25 million for Bond 25, now we know why he came back.

    As I've said on here before,they sould get rid of him now,and get someone new,younger and keen on a lot smaller salary.

    He is only coming back for one big,final payday.

    I agree, I fear we might get a YOLT/DAF performance out of him. If he was serious about ending on a high they should have gotten around to it by 2018 at the latest. That's plenty of "rest time".

    No. He wasn't involved since DAD.

    And this is why am bit deflated Now! I don't rate Armstrong at all! A throwback to the dreaded Brossa era... I always found his action sequences to be drawn out, tedious and without much invention. All gunfire and explosions..Yawn! .This is disappointing news! I would have preferred Dan Bradley to return.

    Quite. It’s hard to think of a single original action scene in any of Brosnan’s movies. Not hard to come up with quite a few embarrassing ones though.

    Every stunt in Tomorrow Never Dies shits all over the action scenes in Spectre, not always in concept but definitely in execution.

    Interesting, that´s complete news to me.
    Indeed. The Brosnan era had some terrific action.

    And she dressed Brosnan, who always looked impeccable.

    Here we are summer 2018, and still no further. If we don't hear anything before the end of the month, that's a signal that something isn't right behind the scenes. If they stick to schedule, we should have a full press conference at the end of the year, where all is revealed. We can better asses Craig's appearance and motivation there, where he has nowhere to hide. The SP reveal was a bit of a shambles, and where people started to note Craig was looking older.

    Based on what?
    What signal is it and why?

    If we don't hear anything by the end of the month, then EON has decided not to pass on any news. I'm not sure why some think it's a fans right to know everything, all of the time.
    They give us news when they're ready.

    Bond 25 will be under 130 minutes, shorter than Goldeneye and Living Daylights. We know that much since Boyle has never made a film longer than that.

    excellent!

    My bad. I forgot about the tank scene, which I don’t really like, but it was really something new. Apart from that I’m really hard pressed hand I am one of those who enjoy Brosnan’s tenure quite a bit more than the current one )

    It would be great to have Lindy Hemming back, but unfortunately, I think they are perfectly happy with Jany Temime. Arnold's return is more likely, IMO.

    Quite liked the acton sequences in the Brosnan era, actually.
    Beats anything the Mendes era brought.

    Ah, I see. It wasn't mentioned to me so I must have missed it. Alas, the point still stands. It's good that Armstrong is back. He did pretty good work during the Brosnan era. The only missteps were the admittedly poor ski chase and the submarine finale in TWINE, and "that" surf scene from DAD.

    He didn't work on GE but the action in TND is some of the best we've ever had in the series.

    Though, as someone else suggested, Dan Bradley would have been a good choice to bring back too.

    I'm not against Armstrong being back because overall I liked the Brosnan era's action scenes, but it doesn't exactly excite me either. Safe pair of hands I guess. Bond 25 is shaping up to be something that I would have been excited for if they'd got it out quicker, but is just coming across as a real anti climax after such a long wait. I want to be excited because I love Danny Boyle but so far he's literally the only person involved who's name has me interested. Apart from him it all just seems so boring and stale so far imo.

    It's absolutely fair play to Dan, and I don't begrudge him taking home a king's ransom. But I think EON would want to be a bit careful about messaging this: it could be easy for the "only in it for the money" narrative to spin out of control a bit.

    Sean gave his fee to his charity. Something tells me Craig won't be doing the same.

    He will spend it on make-up and plastic surgery.

    He dorsnt need to. He is giving to charity all the time. Remember his Aston? Plus normally he is not going public with it, but it comes out here and there. So rest assured, this money isnt all going into his own pocket.

    I think he already had some work done. He looks different to the BAFTAs appearance. Likely a Boyle script will incorporate his age into the equation, so it's not the end of the world. But it is upsetting for those of us hoping for a bit more of the "Men want to be him, woman want to lay next to him" Bond of old.

    Nobody knows how long the run-time will be, but... There was a survey about this last month. Despite the survey sample being relatively small, there was still a decent percentage of people who want the next film to be centered around 130 minutes, with a preference to be nearer 140, rather than 120, if possible.
