I think those would be far to obvious references that it might have taken fans out of the film. Too much of a wink wink nod.
In terms of capturing some of the essence and tone of OHMSS, but not thrown in ones face, I'd say only FYEO was successful in that regard (in spite of lacking a Barry score).
46 years. Just saying. ;)
Unsure but I am hoping I enjoy the film as much as I Enjoyed Casino Royale which came out in 2006
I say we get to page 2020 before we know the title
The press conference information is usually announced a week or so prior.
I hope so too! :-D
(guess it wasn't a coincidence you mentioned CR on this particular page)
Alright, thanks! :-)
I would guess this, or possibly a little earlier. Certainly exciting to know we should have big news soon!
Hopefully. BTW, if the movie will carry on "Bond's arc", as Fukunaga said, the return of Madeleine seems absolutely necessary to me. In the end SP was about Bond "choosing life" - "It's called life James, you should try it sometimes"; "Is this really what you want? Living in the shadows? Hunting, being hunted? Always alone?"; "We always have a choice" etc etc - so bringing back the woman who "forced" him to quit the job (the final scene on the bridge is pretty clear) makes perfect sense from a character's arc standpoint.
Seems fair since Shatterhand is also an "alias". ;)
PS: just kidding. The 55 days count is way more interesting, thanks for that one.
How have I never seen these?! Amazing - thank you.
Look at Blade Runner. They used Bautista perfectly.
How true. If Denis was directing this movie, Hinx may have truly come back.
I’m thinking of the conversation Bond and Goldfinger have at Auric Stud regarding how long the gold at Fort Knox would be radioactive.
“57years.”
“58 to be exact.”
Obviously not referring directly to radioactivity or GF. But something relevant to the film or easily included.
As the Bond series will be 58 years old in 2020.
Would it be a nice little nod missed by all but Bond fans.
Or cheesy and lame.
Just a thought.
Amen to that. One of the biggest flaws with SF and SP (and dare I say it CR) is their bloated length.
I've been going through a period of finding films underwhelming and unsatisfying. I had connected it to the fact that the quality of long form TV drama is now so good that many films (no matter how long) seem rushed in terms of dramatic development and storytelling.
Then I watched Creed for the first time and was reminded that actually film is not about long drawn out character arcs (although that's an important part of the movie's appeal) and bloated thematic singposting, but the deft handling of the narrative within what is really a highly compressed timeframe. Creed crams in a lot in a short space of time (not always successfully) but the romance element for example, although not dwelled on excessively convinces because it's sparsely but well scripted and excellently acted and directed.
The best Bond films have always been pacy and largely devoid of padding and bloated or unnecessary dialogue and drama. I guess a bit like Fleming's books. Time to get back to this. Focus on a gripping and tightly told story, ideally with Bond at its centre. Cut anything that is not essential to telling that story. Sparse but well crafted dialogue. Use action to propel the narrative rather than to pad out the screen time.
