That's way better than the rumoured (working) title!
That's the title of one of the best sci-fi novels ever written.
Jesper Christensen? Source?
Oh right, I see. thanks.
I wouldn't dismiss it entirely out of hand as a 'working title'. Something very similar happened with the new Avengers film title leaking on someone's online CV. There is still an outside chance that this is the title.
Plus...MI6 seem to be teasing something here:
I feel people need to drop this whole idea.
It's not a flashback.
He might have left behind a series of videotapes
Yes, its going to be called
Makes me wonder if.............
Where did this rumour for a possible title come from ?
That, Lea returning, those bland sets in Norway. It really doesn't excite me the very least. Although, to be fair, everything about SP excited me and then we know what happened.
So, I'm ready to be pleasantly surprised. Must say, they're making a stellar job on lowering my expectations. Thank you, EON.
Whaaa?
Is that a serious comment?
I'm quite the opposite.
Everything (so far) is exciting me. The locations, the director, the writer, the villain, the fact it's Craig's finale.
It almost feels like Eon have a fibre-optic cable to my mind's eye and are making this film for me.
In terms of the title:
I loved 'Spectre' as a title. Beyond it's obvious connections to the canon of Bond, it's just a seriously cool word.
In comparison, 'Eclipse' is a little meagre and uninspiring. It sounds more like a generic title for a sci-fi film. But once we have context it could make heaps of sense....who knows at this stage.
It's a cool-ish word, I guess- and I suppose from Eon's perspective, one-word titles are easier to market.
Can we get some people coming up with graphic designs for the title treatment? I wasn't overly convinced with the one a few pages back.
I know, right? Well, to be true, yes and no. I'm on the fence on this one, Nackers. Still love it that Fukunaga is directing and not Boyle. And that Matera locations seems interesting enough. Other than that, what do we really know that's exciting? And please, be free to sell me this one. I'd appreciate it. You know me, I've been positive all through this production. But, truth be told, it has not be as nice as other pre-productions have been, and it's wearing me down a bit. I do hope that'll change soon. We'll see.
Locations - I'm hoping Fukunaga gives them his artistic touch. Yes, they do seem interesting on paper.
The director - yes, I'm a big Fukunaga fan.
The writer - which one? The script doctor? Yes, that one is ok. The other two, well, you know my opinion on them.
The villain - I'll be delighted if it's Malek. But is he? Do we have confirmation on this?
The fact that's Craig finale - well, Craig has become a bit of a yes and no for me. I was a big fan. Now, after SP, he'll have to won me over again.
I'm sure my feelings about Bond25 (I refuse to call it
My point exactly! Thanks for doing the research on that one. That's a very cool comparison!
If I'm honest I have nothing to offer which will cheer you up, and ( no offense) I'm not bothered either way.
Whatever is happening behind the scenes at Eon as they prepare this film interests me a little bit less than the colour paint my wife has chosen for the dining room. I have been a Bond fan for decades which means that back in the 70s the first I knew about a new Bond film was a cinema trailer a few weeks before the film release.
When the production book comes out I may buy it to see how the film took shape. Then again, I may not.
As for the actual film, well that bad boy will interest me. I'm excited that a film is coming. And Craig's performance as Bond is the main thing that will fascinate me. Nothing in my Bond world is more interesting than seeing how this incredible series shapes itself, alters and evolves, and how the actors interpret the role.
Tidbits about the possible title, who the cinematographer is, shots of random clapperboards, locations, plot points..nah! Not really interested. Not at this stage anyway.
Mine is a cursory glance at the latest rumour and a shrug of the shoulders. I'm looking forward to the press conference but I have no interest in wishing my life away waiting for it. It happens when it happens.
In Barbara I trust.
Well, you've actually ended up doing a good job at putting me in touch with my own feelings. That's actually it. I just couldn't or didn't want to express it. But yes, that's about it. I grew up with Bond through those decades, and I remember buying imported cinema magazines to see the first official pictures. The main difference is that I have a constantly repressed notion that I don't really adore Daniel Craig as James Bond. But that is a different matter altogether. Now, if I trust Barbara or not, that, for me, is actually not important. It will be what it will be. And I'll appreciate it as cinema history and Bond fandom, that's for sure.
I like your idea. Good title.
Although I'm glad Boyle departed, the reasons he left are dispiriting. After all the misleading speculation about "political" issues, Boyle actually quit because Eon insisted that he use their screenwriters and not John Hodges. I'm presuming those unnamed writers he didn't want to use were Purvis & Wade.
I can't even imagine how the new director, Fukunaga, must feel interacting with that duo.
Purvis & Wade: "So we wrote a cameo for Jinx in Bond 25. She can reuse one of our old quips like, 'That's a mouthful.'"
Fukunaga: "Um, no, let's not bring Jinx back."
Purvis & Wade: "Okay. How about our scene where we reveal James Bond is a code name, kind of like 'The Phantom'--"
Fukunaga: "No, thanks."
Purvis & Wade: "So we wrote this scene where Bond wears a pork pie hat--"
Fukunaga: " . . . "
Barbara: "Aren't these two scribes just amazing?!"
