Beasts of No Nation written and directed by CIG and he was also the cinematographer is a much better film than anything Mendes has done imho. Furthermore, given the subject matter and that it's set in Ghana makes it all the more impressive and essentially nullifies CJF not being British not a good fit to direct a Bond film;(which has always been a dumb criteria to begin with as far as I'm concerned).
Not in the least. There are films that continue casting throughout production.
There is too much “ chicken Little, the sky is falling, fear on this board. I love that the cards are being held close to the vest.
We , as fans may want more information, but we are not entitled to it.
But they certainly won't cast the villain during production, they need someone in place for the press conference in March 4th. Unless they really are getting secretive. :)
+1
YES!
Sure, so as long as he or she is signed by the 3rd, all will be good. ;)
I'm surprised.
He looks like a classic bond villain. He reminds me of the sort of the person Terence Young would cast back in the 1960s. He has such an intriguing look that screams baddie - those large bug eyes, that overly sharp jaw, the short cropped hair. There is something disconcerting about him.
Plus, if anyone hasn't seen Mr. Robot - please do! The best way to describe the show is 'Social Network meets Fight Club'. He plays an anxious and depressed computer hacker who is staging the takwdoen of the biggest multinational in the world. It's seriously punk and has a great soundtrack,
His performance is distancing and emotionally cold - nonetheless, he is laden with pathos and gives a heartbreakingly strong performance.
Any one in doubt should check this out:
My hope is that it can be worked out. The 'villain' role is always a flashy supporting part - so I imagine he won't be there for the entire shoot. I mean both Waltz and Bardem had around 25% of screentime (if not less). So maybe Malek would only need a month to film his entire role.
If they really want him, they can change things around do he can be there. He has expressed an interest, so it's possible at this stage.
IF they're goin to replace him with people like Taghmaoui or Riz Ahmed would be a shame.
+1.
He also has this kind of creepy charm that could work really good for a villain. In Bohemian Rhapsody he also showed a really touching sweetness, plus a very strong screen charisma. Malek can do pretty much everything and I remember him also in a cool supporting role in The Master by the great PTA.
Malek's looks reminds me a bit of Vladek Sheybal's Kronsteen – a character I wish had more screen time in FRWL (love every moment of Sheybal's performance). There's nothing missing in Malek's acting ability either, IMO – and I'm sure he could be a good fit for the right kind of villain part. I just hope they write the villain part for Bond 25 better than in SP, and that the villain's scheme is a good one.
Yes.
True. Plus he just did the "villainous young cyber billionaire" in Venom. I don't see EoN goin for him.
Well said totally agree on kronsteen he has some sort of resemblance.
And who knows, they might hire his Venom costar for Bond 26. ;)
I'm neither here nor there on Malek. I don't know enough about him to formulate an opinion either way. He has a very distinctive look, and so I know of him even though I've never seen him in anything.
Exactly. Back in 2014 some people here were opposing to Quantum/Mr White's return because they thought any reference to QoS would make the movie flop, yet SPECTRE was very successful money-wise. Average movie-goers just want to see Bond kissing girls, punching bad guys and have some fun, at the end of the day they don't really care if invisible cars are in or whether Bond and the villain are related. Sure, they may leave the movie feeling underwhelmed, but that won't stop them from watching the next one.
And the proof is that all Bond movies were box office successes.
Because it's going to be Waltz ;)
At the beginning of filming Casino Royale a film nearly all Bond fans put in their top 10 vesper Lynd and Le Chiffe we’re not cast. I am not kidding if memory serves me right they weren’t cast till a month into filming
Trolls World Tour
Untitled Rugrats Film
Legally Blonde 3
Trolls world tour a film about your life perhaps?
That was actually funny, @PanchitoPistoles. Nicely done.
Then again, you may find you'll have a very uninteresting year ;)
Even though i will do everything in my power to keep me from watching it.
Hobbs & Shaw - almost certainly, so you're talking August 2018.

Afraid I don't have that will power! And can't wait for production to start. Will be lapping up every behind the scene images as it films!
