I am an early Riser myself;)
That he obviously frequents this thread ;-).
I used to find it annoying, but now it's actually amusing in a pitiful kind of way.
My list below
2016 The night manager and Hiddleston rumors as well as the comic books
2017 the comic books
2018 the gear up to production Craig announcing he is back Danny Boyle announcement and departure etc and replaying/ playing new to me bond games
2019 filming as well as Playing bond games new to me and finally reading forever and a day which I am about half way through
Plus there were other things to enjoy/ look forward too heck the entire run of Ben Affleck as Batman was in between bond films sadly enough like I said plenty to enjoy these last few years and I am looking forward to Bond 25 we will see it’s title within the next few weeks and like I said if it is
So be it I prefer The Hildebrand Rarity but that is me
Could be nothing but a Stunt Actor trying to increase his profile but found this post on Instagram. Is it just me or does he look eeirly like Rami Malek?
Could be nothing, but an interesting find nonetheless. Well spotted.
Clicked on his IMDB page and he is attached to "The Rythym Section" so there is a connection to EON. Also his caption "we will rock you" suggested Rami as well
Not THAT much, but maybe enough for a stunt double? I see on IMDB that he's listed as a stunt double on The Rhythm Section. Isn't that film somehow connected to EON?
I believe EON are producing it. He also seems to do primarily stunt work in major films.
"Hodge won’t be done for a couple of months, but when he turns in the script, one of two things will happen. MGM and the producers will like it enough to shelve the movie they were contemplating — the listed writers are Neal Purvis & Robert Wade, whose 007 credits include Skyfall, Spectre and Casino Royale — and they will instead make the version that was cooked up by the Trainspotting team. "

Boyle met EON. EON liked his pitch. EON asked Boyle and Hodge to write the script. Hodge turned in the script (not the final version, obviously). EON liked it and then they hired Boyle.
Think before writing.
It seems it is complicated for you to understand what really happened. Read my comment above. What you wrote is factually incorrect.
Thanks. Knew there was a Bond connection with that film, but couldn't remember what. As he's used the hashtag #BOND25 in his post, it's likely he'll feature in B25 in some capacity.
Good catch! He might be…
This confirms that second unit work begins this week! Fantastic news!
I imagine the next two weeks will be jam packed with news
Who cares? They didn't like the script. It's over and done with. Boyle has moved on. It's for the history books. It's no longer pertinent to the production of the film. Get over it.
That's a lovely view.
Looks like it’s already started. This Soudais guy seems legit. He looks like Yusuf. I have a feeling this brief Norway shoot will serve as a flashback, with Madeleine having bad dreams about her past. Then she will wake up in Matera with 007 and the PTS will kickstart. Maniac by Fukunaga was all about childhood trauma and dreams.
That's not what the argument was about though, was it? The exchanges above related to when Boyle was hired ("after the pitch, before the script!" "No, after the script!"), not whether elements of Hodges screenplay survived or not. You can't have it both ways, I'm afraid. Danny Boyle is now about as pertinent as those other off-topic comments, whether you accept that or not. Sorry, old man.
50/50. They might do it the day after. Or they might put it out the day after the press conference, when attention from the general public is at its most intense.
I was thinking the same thing. It would be very out of character of recent 007 social media activity. I think more likely is crew continue to post about the filming and we find out bits from that.
I’m imagining one lodged in a piece of ice with a blurred out lodge cabin in the background but just a guess haha
That's the problem these days, isn't it? People think that by dowsing the Internet in corrosive comments, filmmakers will inevitably yield to their demands. It's the producers/director/lead actors who decide how things turn out, not we.
"Things don't happen fast enough!" "I'm not getting the script, director, ... I want." "Barbara Broccoli must go." Yeah, just keep repeating that and one day they're bound to listen and obey the almighty fan--no, not the fan, the opinionated critic with a keyboard.
Yesterday, the question was asked of how much more we must endure before we've had enough. Let me tell you about 'enough'. With a spectacular 24 film titles (plus 2 if you'll have them), spread across 5 decades of filmmaking, several book series, interesting comic book titles, video games, soundtracks, making of books and documentaries, analysis books, anecdotal books, toys, celebratory Internet forums and more, I'd say we have enough, more than enough even. I count every next entry, if and when it comes, as an added bonus, as a reason to be joyful. But in the absence of a new Bond film tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'm not going to accuse EON of letting Bond fans down.
Remember that we came very close, in a distant past, to losing Bond forever. They could have pulled the plug after OHMSS, or after LTK or especially after the Harry Saltzman fiasco post-TMWTGG. The Broccolis, more than anyone else, have endured. More than that; since the 90s, no Bond film has been without its share of critical and commercial success, securing the franchise's health in an era no-one in the 60s could have predicted would still welcome James Bond. Perhaps you or you or you weren't too happy about some of these films in the GE--SP collection but clearly a lot of folks out there still respect and admire the series enough to cough up a lot of money for every next Bond film. It would be outrageous to even assume that the suits are contemplating Barbara Broccoli's departure from the series. I don't know why people are suddenly targeting her; I think it's intellectual laziness more than anything else. Blame the woman in charge, accuse her of taking Bond to the PC slaughterhouse, render Bond at the mercy of outsiders who only care about earning a quick buck and were never any part of the Bond legacy, and everything will be fine? Perhaps Cannon Films can come back for "007: The Quest For Peace". Sounds like a good plan, this.
If and when it happens, folks, if and when it happens. We owe them all the fun we've had with the cinematic Bond so far and they owe us nothing. Face it, we're not a part of any of it until the product is released and we can choose to watch it or stay away.
One more thing about "not getting a Bond film fast enough", the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. (We used to comment on choices made, but until now, not getting a Bond film soon enough, was never an issue.) In a certain other thread about things we're tired of seeing in movies, several members have said, "superhero films". Superhero fatigue is a well-known phenomenon. We've had it before, you see, even when the Superhero output was, at best, one of them every one or two years. Yet with superhero stuff, you can still go to various places, use different characters, explore different adventures. Something so close to a formula as Bond might, like Solo, overstay its welcome very quickly if not enough time has passed since its previous entry. Granted, Solo was only a few months away from Episode VIII, whereas B25 will be released over four years since SP. We, as die hard Bond fans, may appreciate new material with every lunar cycle, but we alone don't pay the bills. Only when enough people can be lured to movie theatres, can Bond survive. If the Bond films were to deliver a 'Solo', it might be over for good, or at least for a very long time. Besides, it took them four years to get to CR after DAD, a Bond film many of us felt, at the time, had completely destroyed the series; and it took them 6 years to get to GE after LTK, when many people felt that it would be ridiculous for Bond to even try to resurface in the post-Cold War 90s. That Bond did and with success, has a lot to do with us having to sit through six years of patience, and with Barbara Broccoli being a darn good producer. Also, if the quality of a film is somehow proportonal to how fast the film is delivered, I guess we might as well call the likes of Terence Malik, James Cameron and Stanley Kubrick some of the worst directors of all times.
So, to all those negative elements out there, for your own mental health, I beg you to relax. It'll come when it comes, it'll happen when it happens, you'll see it when you get the chance to see it. There's always a multitude of reasons for delays and firing one person, especially one who's been around and involved for so long is not going to speed things up or guarantee a higher quality of films. Let us celebrate the production of the next Bond film. Let us enjoy the fascinating road to get there, even if, like many great films in the past, it is plagued with setbacks and critical predicaments. Let us dream of what it might be, without feeling any anger if it turns out something else entirely. And most of all, let us not do what the rest of the Internet is doing because we're so much better than that. We're all reasonably intelligent people here and we don't want to stoop to the level of trolls and poisonous self-appointed critics. I'm a Bond fan; for me, the Sun is shining right now. Another Bond film is coming. The fun of anticipating it means a lot to me. And I'll keep fighting all that speculative, useless, boring negativity around here with the optimism of a true Bond fan, who is also grateful for what has been given to us in previous decades, and for a future in which a new Bond, even if it's just one more, is guaranteed. I, for one, won't be set off kelter, by the arrongance of some, who come off thinking they can make better films than those who are actually doing it.
So who's with me?
