Also, if the studio says we're not going to fund the movie, the surely that always means EON is going to have to listen to them to some extent, surely?
I don't know. I was asking a question.
My understanding is though that MGM owns Harry's share of the movie rights or something. I don't actually know much about it.
There are those who believe MGM played a significant part in Dalton's departure. I know there is a former MGM exec who Babs despises in relation to the stance that he took on Dalton in '94.
Prime example is the casting of C. The studio said hey cast a cheaper actor and they did.
Dalton is another example. Regardless of your opinion the studio wanted a change. They knew they wouldn't make money domestically.
They all knew they would with PB plus he was cheaper than say Gibson at that time.
Studios can add or yank a budget based on who is cast as the lead.
No they have say. They have the money and they want their money back and then some.
As we get closer to the run, I'm sure they will open up tickets to individual purchases. At least, I hope so.
"We have put three years of work into 'Spectre.' It was a thrill, but now we want to enjoy the success and the reactions of the audiences. In spring we start again. I hope we can continue with Daniel [Craig]. I love him, obviously not just me but also the audience. I will try my best to keep him on."
...sounds like with or without him.
Fixed
;)
I'd love for the Craig era to keep on with featuring new unseen Bond locations, and it doesn't get better than Ireland. You could do so many great thematic things with the setting, including references/motifs of the old mythical legends into the story, include the heart of Irish sound in the score for the film, and so much more. If it is in fact Dan's last, an arrangement of The Parting Glass to end the film would bring a tear to my eye. You could do some interesting things with the story too, as Mallory has a history with the IRA. The main important thing for me is that Blofeld is back in some capacity. Waltz didn't get enough time to shine in SP and I want to see him get more to play with.
I can handle plot holes ...just work on story and character development.
After 24 films you can't rely on just action and homage. No more left overs lol. BEEF!!!!
And say what?
But I would just keep the title simple and not change it all the time.
MGM owns 50% and Eon owns 50%, which means it's a deadlock.
