And she is pregnant with the next Bloferhauser
That is also the next Bond car.
Now we know Daniel Craig -officially- is now co-producer of the James Bond films. We know his ideas are usually picked up by the Bond producers. For instance director Sam Mendes was basically his idea for the Bond films, after he worked with Mendes on "Road To Perdition" and kept in close contact ever since.
Now I wouldn't be surprised if Daniel Craig would ring Greg, Barbara and Michael, saying that they should consider Steven Soderbergh for the next Bond film. I think it would be a nice choice. And since "Logan Lucky" is mostly situated at the Nascar race events, perhaps they could consider doing some "Murder On Wheels" for Bond #25 ;-). And infusing a bit more humour in the next film as well.
Absolutely!
Still, judging from the last two movies I would prefer to have Craig kept out of the production process (actors of future Bond included as well).
To my mind the only good input he gave where the SHARP looking suits of QoS.
There's a reason why God created specialization. Let the actors to the acting, the writers do the writing, ... you get the picture.
Agreed as well, and did Craig really have input into the suits in QoS? I thought that was Louise Frogley's work alone (at least in terms of suit 'cuts'. I assume Craig had input into switching to Ford from Brioni). The suits in SF/SP are more up Craig's alley (at least in terms of the kind of constricting stuff he wears outside of Bond).
Oh okay, I didn't know that. I thought he brought Ford on board and Ford designed the suits.
However, to me this movie is his optical climax in the role. From the smoothness of his hairstyle to especially the suits it's his only film in which I really can imagine him as James Bond.
Agreed! He needs to go back to the QoS fitting.
Well, that's all a matter of opinion. Like so many fans, we tend to 'destroy' our own franchise with words when certain films don't meet our expectations. For me, SF and SP were top films. Certainly not in the Bottom 10 of worst Bond films.
Yet, I do think Steven Soderbergh can bring some 'fun' to Bond #25 that we haven't seen with the Craig era of films yet, except perhaps SP. I think Soderbergh could do something very nice with "Trigger Mortis" or "Murder On Wheels". A Bond film predominantly set in the USA racing milieu. Would love that.
I definitely want to see a PTS without Bond there. I think it's a smart move to have some genuine intrigue and unpredictability to start the film, and having Bond around means there can only be one outcome.
I would take all of that in a heartbeat.
That never really occurred to me, but you're absolutely right about that.
I personally like the FRWL & TMWTGG PTS myself. They both feature Bond and don't feature Bond (in the case of the former it's a Russian in disguise and in the case of the latter it's a mannequin).
Except that it just isn t so. The pts is Bond in Latin America.
But it could have just as easily worked as the PTS.
Would have worked better actually. The actual OP PTS is a bit lame.
And I'm not really a fan of the PTS that aren't connected to anything. Even a tangential link like the one in TLD, is better than nothing.
Do me a favour.
'Fill her up please' and an impossibly smug grin? Utterky sublime Rog.
In fact of the Rog era there's only TSWLM or MR that rival it and MR's incredible stuntwork is let down a bit by the Jaws debacle.
I love OP and think it's got a good case for the most underrated film of the series but I agree with @Getafix here. The PTS itself is fine but I think it feels more tacked on than any other, we don't even get the "where's 007" moment or some small link to the plot, it literally has nothing to do with the rest of the film. It's unnecessary and is only there for the sake of box ticking, a big action scene at the start just because that's what the audience had come to expect. If OP had been made ten years earlier the film definitely would have opened with the clown hunt and been all the better for it imo. That's a brilliantly tense scene and would have made a great, ballsy opening.
At least it's a good sequence in itself though. FYEO has the same problem but with a PTS that's actually offensively awful.
