- Apparently everyone was excited in December 2017 when Boyle met with Eon and had an idea to truly shake up the franchise.
- The script was delievered in spring 2018 and nobody was thrilled with it. It's described as dark and humourless.
- Eon had faith and were unwilling to ditch the Boyle/Hodge effort.
- Purvis and Wade's previous draft was called 'Shatterhand' and was a OHMSS remake.
- An exit may suit Craig as he has a child on the way.
Meanwhile, someone from the Toronto film news website has confirmed that Jean-Marc Vallee will not be directing as he is making a John Lennon/Yoko Ono biopic (this was previously rumoured by the credible Jeff Snieder at Collider)
Exactly! I might remember wrong, but I think I saw some movie stills without filtered colours (might have ben a fan made thing). Looked way better than what was presented on screen.
No arguments from me regarding the Austria sequence either!
Just give Bond an Asian and you'll get the same. Bond is better.
And that gorgeous green marble meeting room in Rome...[img]http://thespaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Palazzo-Rome-©AndersonLow-All-Rights-Reserved-1050x789.jpg[/img]
What the hell happened there? But hey, I guess this is a subject for another thread. Not here. Let's move on to discarding Vallee as the director ;)
Sounds like a good fit for Craig, to be honest. He plays well in that ballpark - humour was never his strongsuit, unless extremely dry.
And the blue from Daaniel Craig's eyes.
Oh my, SP certainly doesn't do that room justice! :-O
I've never seen any of Jean-Marc Vallée's work (not Boyle either, for that matter). Will be interesting to see if he gets the job.
@talos7: If there was a meeting, and we haven't heard about a bunch of crew people who are now unemployed indefinitely, I'd say the sky isn't falling; or there was no meeting to begin with.
Deadline has reported that "sources" talking of delays and all that jazz are coming from rival studios, not from EoN. So news, even from respected outlets, will have to be taken with a grain of salt at the moment.
The only thing Deadline is reporting that seems to be concrete: EoN has a shortlist of directors they've gone out to.
My question to all the people saying there are going to be huge delays and page one re-writes is this:
When producers "go out" to directors, what are they "going out" with?
Answer: A script. They are using a script to attach a director.
So all this talk about major re-writes on a brand new third script is ludicrous.
EoN have given their shortlist a script to read, maybe two scripts (both the Hodge and P&W scripts).
But to think they are trying to lure a director with no script and the development of a phantom third script?... Uh, no.
Once again, yes, anything can happen, but this sounds like EoN and partners going about this as business as usual. I don't think they've even considered delaying their release date at all...
And, from your own article "Those comparisons really illustrate what a crap transfer the original was. Well done Mr. Gould"
Also, this article only rates the DVD's, not the Blu Ray. Seeing Matrix on BD was THE best experience I've had seeing it since sitting in the theatre back in 1999!
Colour almost invariably looks better on Blu Rays than DVD- just look at Dr. No! A 'piss' filter like on SPECTRE scenes probably looks way more 'pissy' on a DVD I would expect (though I honestly don't know).
Uh-oh...

Oh, wait, not Bond...
Right, Disney can do no wrong and Eon sucks...
GoTG is a production in trouble, with their stars/entire leading cast, going against the producers-- some more passively, some more aggressively (see Bautista).
It seems Marvel/Disney has had serious issues starting with Wright's dismissal on ANT MAN, ROGUE ONE, SOLO, GOTG... that's a lot of years showing a growing dysfunction...
But, you know Babs and EoN are amateur-hour producers and Cubby's rolling in his grave....
Yah... right.
I *think* his point is that we should stop slamming EON as if no one else has major production issues to deal with.
Thank you
*Jumps on as well*
10 years on, hearing Forster mentioned in a positive light is quite a development. Shocking, really.
Shatterhand really ... interesting
Yeah, right? My favourite Craig Bond has been vindicated at last!
It also recalls the reevaluation of that "failed" Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Reclaimed from the failure myth.
Ahhh, YEP!
I disagree that Forster's Tosca flourish in Quantum of Solace was any kind of mistake. It was a highlight of a fine Bond film.
