We’ll see if things turn out to be true.
It's been said numerous times and as someone who's visited Matera in person it's unlikely that location will actually be Italy, it's doubled as Jerusalem twice now for Passion of The Christ and Mary Magdalene.
It's quite like nowhere else in Europe.
Just a few of photos from our 2017 Holiday where we took in the amazing sights of Matera, really quite breathtaking.
As for the writer, Burns, yes I feel that surely he has had communication before now (written and verbal) from EON and Daniel; so his jumping into the writing is not cold, not without having a good idea of what they want.
Right, unique. Matera recently doubled Jerusalem also in Ben-Hur, plus the fantasy world of Themyshira in Wonder Woman.
PS Really nice pics!
Add "The Gospel According to St. Matthew" by Pier Paolo Pasolini to that.
I don't know personally but this could be doubling for a middle eastern location so who knows.
Like you and others I'm just so delighted at this point we don't have a clue and hopefully the press conference will be a first real bite at some info.
I will be very surprised if Matera is actually Matera, that is if it's getting used.
I'd personally like to see maybe a boat/foot chase, like we saw in the Heineken ad back in 2015 :)
And yes very exciting! I remember when the locations were coming out for Spectre, I remember just being so this is where the airplane scene is gonna happen and this is where Madeleine Swann is going to work. It's my own fault for reading the leaked script, but it's nice to play the guessing game again this time round :D
Very much agree. Sounds like a polish or slight overhaul rather than a complete re/write
I’m very into Icebreaker. I like the one word titles; punchy. I can certainly appreciate the longer more romantic titles as well though.
I think the complete rewrite was an overstatement. Definitely makes a good headline.
There’s no way it’s a page 1 rewrite. There will be sections they feel they’ve not cracked. Sometimes these issues just need fresh eyes to find a way through. Again, it’s difficult to understand for anyone who has never put pen to paper, but easy to assume it’s a simple thing - like cooking an egg.
I must confess I read bits of it myself and kind of knew things were coming up, although that did factor into the enjoyment factor it was just one of the many problems with that film.
I'm hoping that Bond 25 retains some of that grit we got in CR & QOS, I loved SF but a film like that should have been a one shot deal and not explored any further.
A boat or a foot chase would be good, I'm thinking Burns if he injects some humour into the script that it will be more like Craig's first 2. It certainly didn't work in SP and SF attempts weren't really playing to Craig's ability to deliver dead pan witty lines as opposed to the ones only Roger could get away with.
I like it, will be interesting to see what Sandgren brings to Bond 25. Loved Hoyte's work elsewhere but SP not really.
Deakins though just owned it with SF.
Same here! Sandgren is an artist and I cannot wait to see what he brings to the film :)
Having just finished a page 1 rewrite of a personal project that had someone else's name on the first draft, I can agree with this wholeheartedly.
That's a great shot. I wonder how it would look in action. I attempted to see how it could look with a Bondian context.
Perfect scenery for any type of chase.
This date makes a lot of sense as well because April 5th would be Cubby Broccoli’s 110th birthday
