It was the best Bond theme for 20 years. Derivative, but it worked.
i dont believe you
She'll be in all the scenes with Al Pacino.
now we're talkin'... hoo-ahhh
I wonder if Boyle will be asked any questions tomorrow? Is anyone going?
I find YKMN to be better. Much better.
That's nice for you.
I will be very happy to see Craig return.
How well-knows is he, actually? Adele and Sam Smith were all over the radio and internet long before they did their Bond songs. We're a year or so away from a new Bond theme anyway, so I guess a lot can happen until then.
Iggy Pop perhaps?
Cubby would have been very disappointed with this output.
But then again, HOWmany more times do you/ we feel the need to complain about it. Its such an old hat, I cant believe, i still brought up. For ...... sake, move on everybody.
As for Bond 25 my guess is we will learn some of the casting around July and August (same with locations)
Honestly though is anyone else afraid that like Skyfall Bond 25 will be mostly filmed in the UK?
What did fans in the 60's, 70's, 80's and early 90's do. We had to wait. Often two years at a time between films with very little info.
Then with the arrival of the Internet people want to know everything every second of the day and get worked up and offended if they're not told.
One thing I’ve noticed Boyle say A LOT in interviews is that he likes smaller budgets.
He likes making $10m movies look like they cost $150m.
I imagine he’ll want to put a glass ceiling on the budget as it’ll encourage him to be more creative. HOWEVER…Bond movies are tent-pole films and will still be lavish. I imagine the budget will be around $110-150m. I suspect it’ll be more akin to SF (which had a much more modest budget after MGM’s restructuring).
I think it’s going to be imperative that Boyle brings his own creative team. I don’t want any Mendes hangover. I think this means that Dennis Gassner might not return…..Boyle’s production designer is Mark Tildesley. I like the idea of him getting the gig.
Also for people who haven’t seen Boyle’s work and are afraid that he isn’t an “action” director. Then you’re in for a treat. Boyle’s a true genre filmmaker and all his films have some kind of thriller component. He may not have staged a big $100m action sequence. But he uses suspense excellently and there is always a chase in his films. For any doubters, just watch Sunshine, T2 (the finale is action intensive), 28 Days Later and even his kids film Millions has some thriller beats at the end of the second act. Actually, even Slumdog has some great chase sequences.
If there is something to worry about it’s Boyle sunny aesthetic and optimism. I don’t want the film to be an overly jolly affair. Also, it may just be me. But I think Boyle’s style dates very quickly. Even film he made 10 years ago look a little passé and cheap today.
After the overload of locations in SP, I'd be okay with one exotic location in the PTS, back to England for a bit, and then staying in one more primary location for the rest of the film. Especially if it's a place Bond has never been to before, like Ireland or Australia.
I'd rather have an exotic location being extensively used in the film. I think it might be nice to maybe go back to Greece again.
just hoping Boyle doesn't blow it with a plots that's too whacky.
And with that, I'm off this thread. So long, folks!
