He showed plenty of heart in Man Of Steel. The heart was still there in his performance in BvS, but he was twisted far too much out of shape.
December 2016
->Sam Mendes' next film The Voyeur's Motel is dropped, prompting unlikely speculation that he indeed may helm a third Bond film
->Norwegian tabloid Dagbladet claims that Craig has part ways with 007 and lists Norway as a possible location for B25 after being abandoned for Spectre due to infeasible costs. Similar complications arose for other franchises due to Norway lacking in incentives for film studios, making it unlikely that Bond will shoot in the country in the foreseeable future
->A source tells gossip site Page Six that Barbara Broccoli's offer to produce Othello is a ruse to entice Craig to make his swan song, and that he'd need a hiatus of a few years to focus on more 'serious' roles before making a comeback
->EON Productions are among film executives on a promotional tour hosted by the Abu Dhabi Film Commision, and may consider featuring the Emirate capital as a B25 location
-> A Reddit user, who previously touted Steven Knight as having writing duties on B25, claims that Purvis, Wade, and Knight had developed a treatment which was later rejected
->The same user also claims that Mendes, who's next film Beautiful Ruins is set to commence 2017, has come up with an idea with the backing of Craig and that EON had met with numerous directors including Colin Trevorrow (who's schedule is clogged until 2019 due to Star Wars)
Has 2016 been uneventful or what?
Of course, my birthday is in two weeks, and nothing would be better than to hear some definitive words from Craig to ease us into the New Year and give us a bit of buzz to tide us over for the next few months.
Definitely 2016 was dead 2017 we will at least get something they have waited long enough time for 007 to get back to work
Good news summary. My Mendes question is answered in first blurb
Have to politely disagree. The problem with Cavill is he has no on screen charisma. It's like watching a block of wood.
He is even worse than Brosnan in that respect.
Ah yes of course. Front Page. Thanks
Seek and ye shall find.
Daniel Craig made himself desired. After confirming, contrary to expectations, that he would play a fifth time James Bond, the English actor no longer gives any news to Eon, the historical production company of the saga, created in 1961 by Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli .
According to the British site Sunday Express, this silence could translate again his indecision to embark in a fifth adventure of the most famous secret agent of the planet. And he would have the gift of panicking Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, those responsible for the 25th mission of 007 scheduled on the screens in October 2018.
Since the Metro Goldwyn Mayer pharaonic offer in October - the figure of $ 150 million was raised - the problem of Craig's estate seemed closed. Callum McDougall, executive director of the last four Bond, to keep the British actor was believed to have silenced all the rumors of the star's departure.
Meanwhile, Daniel Craig, who obviously has all the cards in his hand, plays the Arlesienne or the indifferent handsome, turned entirely to the new film of the popular French-Turkish filmmaker Deniz Gamze Ergüven, doubly Caesarized in 2016 for Mustang.
With a lot of pride, the producers of Kings, the second feature of this young and talented 38-year-old director, announced that Daniel Craig and Halle Berry - a memorable ex-James Bond girl (Die Another Day) Headliners of this film.
The scenario describes the life of a family in a neighborhood of Los Angeles a few weeks before the riots that set fire to the city in 1992 after the controversial verdict of the Rodney King affair. The shooting will last eight weeks and will start at the end of December 2016.
In all likelihood, Eon Productions and the MGM will have to wait until the end of February to hear from his fetish actor. To this wife, it will no doubt know which filmmaker will succeed Sam Mendes. Unlike the pretenders to the Daniel Craig estate, those to replace the British director do not seem to jostle at the gate ...
(Though I must admit, "Pharaonic Offer" is a very tempting title as well.)
Based on what?
We got little to no news for the whole of 2016, so I don't see why Craig will be out if we get nothing before February.
It's a two way road, fella.
Spot on. You need to go and watch more films if Ritchie is the height of your ambition. A lot more films.
Yes, that gets annoying doesn't it? Some people just constantly talking down to others, like their opinions mean more, like art is a science and not subjective.
To be fair, art is a science of a sort. There are certain "laws" one must follow as a creator of art, with an understanding of things like space, color, lighting, composition, value and more, in addition to having a handle on how various forms have developed through the centuries and impacted the world. Each area of practice, from drawing/painting to writing and especially filmmaking requires you to know your craft in its every part to truly be excellent at it. Of course having opinions on the art being made is subjective, but that's not the same thing as what I'm describing.
This is all part of why, when it comes to film criticism, I would trust the opinion of someone who works in the film industry and knows the craft, as I believe @RC7 does, than someone who hasn't/doesn't, and may be ignorant of what is demanded by the art form. It's the same reason you wouldn't trust an accountant to work on your shoddy plumbing, or a demolitions expert to weather-proof your home.
People that have certain skill sets and viewpoints attained and forged by sheer experience in a particular discipline automatically makes them a far more reliable and rich source of opinion on that discipline than those who lack that.
If one trained in the art of film and/or film critique has a certain opinion about Ritchie or whomever then I'd they critique the filmmaker not the audience.
Telling someone to "watch more films" isn't meaningful insight, whether it's coming from someone in the industry or not. Please, let's try and engage, rather than just poke and prod each other.
I upgrade and I admit I'm guilty sometimes.
