It could also be that B25 has some horse action, since Armstrong has a huge amount of experience with horses.
Runtime of every Mendes directed films prior to SF/SP:
American Beauty: 122 minutes.
Road to Perdition: 117 minutes.
Jarhead: 125 minutes.
Revolutionary Road: 119 minutes.
Away We Go: 98 minutes.
So I will fix your post:
Does anyone know which movies he made the last 15 years?
I know the guys who run the site and they have their own sources. That's why it says - "Source: Omega Underground" at the bottom. They've got a very good rep on crew hires and production start dates etc. The trades won't report on crew members like stunt coordinators etc signing on, that's why sites like that do it.
:D
I guess a good thing to say is, things may change. P&W were the 'confirmed' writers at the time of the release date announcement...and look where we are now
After similar gaps:
89-95: I was hyped for GE that Bond was back !! Hype rating: 10/10
02-06: After the all time low of DAD, Bond back to basics and with an adaptation of a Fleming novel?! Get in! Hype rating: 9/10
08-12: 50th anniversary, an impressive cast and crew and the hope that they could get the Craig era back on track after the disappointment of QOS. Hype rating 7/10
15-19: Soooo bored of this. 4 year gap, 3 year gap, 4 year gap. Stop wasting my time. If you don't want to make Bond films for a living then just quit (Dan) or give the rights to someone else (EON). By the end of July we will have had 3 world cups in the same time we have had 2 Bond films FFS. That's pathetic frankly. Not to mention we are stuck at a narrative dead end after SP. Hype rating: 4/10 (Would be just 1 but for the Danny Boyle factor which is the only scintilla of interesting news).
The OHMSS ski chase would be shit with shaky cam and 'incomprihensible' (sic) editing as well but that would not be a reflection on Willy Bogner and co.
Very true. I suppose there is a limit to how many times you can leave people in suspense before they just lose interest altogether and move on. Each time it becomes less effective. Not just that, but the longer break no longer seem to lead to an increase in quality or fresh ideas, but rather stagnation. It really does feel like we're back in the twilight days of Rogers tenure, were it's just a matter of waiting for the clock to run down so we can get some fresh blood in and achnage of direction finally. I can already imagine exactly the Bond film Boyle would produce, and while quirky and interesting quite possible, I don't see it addressing any of the long standing issues the franchise has developed. We do know it will be a shorter film, and probably more colourful and faster paced, no sweeping 30 second establishing shots. That's a start, atleast.
48 Months Later
with Craig as the zombie Bond that refuses to die.
why not exhume Laz, Dalton and Brozza while they're at it. awesome
needs Simon Pegg in it. oh and Naomi Harris - sorted.
QoS was also not shot using the shaky-cam method. It was just edited into oblivion. Schaefer actually did some really nice work.
Yes!
What will only be two hours?
Bond 25. I say it's a positive that it won't be another bloated film like the other Craig films are (besides QoS).
People are still acting like the film may be delayed, but we're assuming we know the runtime already?
Cool story, bro.
The word 'inane' is in the dictionary for a reason, but of course the world would be a much nicer place in this snowflake era if it were expunged and replaced with something nice and fluffy like 'clever' or 'astute' or 'well thought out'.
Make an inane post and I'm not going to apologise for correctly labelling it so.
Conversely DN clocks in at 110 mins and SP 148.
At the end of the day the whole thing is totally arbitrary and actually there's just as much evidence to say a long running time makes for a better Bond film given you have OHMSS, CR and SF all north of 140 mins. I really don't know why people are getting so hung up on it. There are far more important elements that need getting right first before the running time matters a jot.
The vital thing is that it doesn't clock in at 133 mins as given DAD is the only film with that running time the evidence would point towards a travesty.
