He mentioned moving to London soon
Haha -- he literally looks into the camera as he says he's "looking for a place to live here" and practically winks.
I'm sold that he's cast in Bond 25. But I have absolutely no idea how it's going to work logistically unless Mr. Robot moves back.
I wouldn't call that entry's PTS or Hinx-Bond train fight "uninspired."
I'd add the Rome chase to that. It's the weirdest thing. One of those sequences I don't *remember* as standout, but every time I re-watch it, I can't help but marvel at how terrific and stylish it is.
I'm sure they'll work something out, they'll probably find a way to work around it.
As for his possible casting, I think it'd be great and a perfect draw for new audiences. I don't know if anyone watched the BAFTAs but the reaction to Malek when he got up on stage was insane. The audience practically roared with applause. People love him, and to see him play a villain for the first time will surely get people hooked to go see Bond 25, and with him being hot off the tails of Bohemian Rhapsody, it's very exciting.
That's what I've been thinking. I think Waltz will be more supporting than a cameo though.
Personally, I felt no adrenaline or surprise during the Rome car chase or the plane chase.
I just really really hope for much better action this time around.
Maybe not - however the train fight wasn't exactly "inspired" to me as it's been done better before - but those are only two of six action scenes, and the other four aren't up to scratch.
That's not a good ratio.
Two different animals, with the paragliding sequence being mainly a special effects sequence.
Also, if you read what I said, the words “ one of” are used. The paragliding sequence is shameful but it doesn’t not change that the car chase in Rome is profoundly uninspired and dull.
Great points!
The big question about this whole arrangement is whether Fukunaga is there to provide his original vision or whether he's been hired to polish a P+W t**d.
If it's very much producer led and he's just there for the money, then it could be the dire SP sequel / Fallout rip off some fear.
For me, I find the Rome car chase kinda dull because it lacks the excitement I would get from an action sequence. There's no fired weaponry for the most part so there's not much at stake and I feel like Bond's quips about the different car functions, Moneypenny, and the old man slows down the sequence by taking away from the 'action' before us.
Opens in Oxfordshire and then ends in a damp squib on the Tiber.
The likelihood of this went up significantly when Boyle was dropped.
You are far too impressed, more than you should be, with your own words and are coming off as a pseudo intellectual who talks in circles and mistakes it for intellect. I've noticed this in your long winded responses to several post by a number of members and topics.
If you can't see the difference between the paragliding sequence and the car chase in Rome , I recommend taking a basic filmmaking course; you may find it helpful.
Also, stating an opinion need not be presented as an argument; it can exist simply as an opinion. So, I'm not making an argument that the car chase has to be one of the most uninspired action sequences in the history of the franchise, I'm stating an opinion. live with it.
Yes this is where it's pointing tbh. I don't think anyone at EON particularly enjoyed the auteur approach that Mendes brought. Fukunaga is a slightly random choice. Bit like Tomahori back in 2002. He's known more as a low key niche artsy director. Little or no experience of films this size.
He's obviously been brought into a troubled existing production to just get it over the line. I am hopeful he is talented enough that he will do a decent job but I am not sure B25 is going to be individual vision some seem to be expecting.
Don't say I didn't try and warn you guys. I said that Fukunaga was probably only picked because he was available on short notice and met with Daniels approval, but few listened.
