Me too.
And grows about 4 inches at least.
And Dornan? Seriously? What next? Ian Sommerhalder?
Because she just got nominated for an Oscar? It might give her a bigger choice in roles, but MORE screentime as Moneypenny, I certainly hope not. That's the last thing we need.
No she's not. She wasn't essential or CR or QOS. So having her sit out one film wouldn't bother me. Besides where Bond went at the end of SP, she wouldn't be around much anyway.
EDIT: Wow, I just realized that she's going from 'Moonlight' to a game-to-film adaptation. Shame, she really shined in the former, would prefer to see her talents utilized in a better film.
Nonsense.
Not saying, I want it to happen but it seems like that's the case.
I highly doubt that. Getting an Oscar doesn't automatically give you more screen time/better roles in films.
Just ask Adrien Brody.
Adrian Brody, who looks so brittle he might break in half if a butterfly landed on him, got to be the male protagonist hero-type in both King Kong and Predators. So his Oscar clearly did something for him!
;)
Two hits in roughly one decade after nabbing an Oscar for a truly incredible film probably isn't the type of post-Oscar success he had hoped for.
Do we know that's what he hoped for? From Brody himself on his Oscar: "It's been very helpful for my career, but I'm trying to stay on the path I was on before."
Some actors, like Kiera Knightley for instance, have opportunities to knock out blockbuster after blockbuster and pick up paycheck after paycheck but opt for more interesting roles in smaller films because they care first and foremost about their craft.
Take another actor then: Michael Keaton. Oscar nom for Birdman and suddenly he's given a part in the new Kong (that he walks from) and he's the next Spider-man villain. Questionable career choices to be sure, but inarguably big parts in big films.
In Hollywood, after somebody gets Oscar buzz they virtually always get thrown one or two major films until the glow fades and somebody else moves into the limelight.
I still maintain the opinion that if we don't get another one this decade, the next one may phase the series out altogether. Three films the previous two decades, two this decade, one in the next, and zero in the following. Eon simply doesn't have the motivation to keep them coming at any type of regular intervals.
But don't forget the studio upheaval. I don't agree I believe has every intent on continuing. Maybe not on the same schedule. EoN is looking to broaden its horizons which understandable.
I really do hope so. My biggest hope is that with the partnership of a new distributor comes at least a solid plan for future films. Lately it feels as though Eon have been winging it so to speak.
I hope so too.
