Yes i agree, Tom loves making movies.
But Daniel can pick and choose what he does now whether he does plays or movies because he is wealthy from making the bond films.
It sounded like making Spectre was an awful experience for him.
That's why i don't think he will be bond again.
12 + years is enough for him to be known as James Bond. 2005 - 2017 ?
That beats Sir Rog's record 1973 -1985.
Really ? Haven't read that.
I just remember the Infamous "Slash my Wrists" comment he made which seemed like he had a tough shoot making Spectre.
Which was a sarcastic joke on his part. If you see the interview he says that, He's clearly chuckling as he's saying it.
A lot of people believe he was serious about it.
It was a stupid thing to say and will never be forgotten by a lot of fans.
But he's only human and everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure he regrets saying it.
There you go.
Indeed, they need someone who's better with the press.
Try putting yourself in his shoes.
Maybe someone like Trump you think ? :) Also known as "The Donald"
Spectre wasn't the happiest hour of my Bond movie watching experience. :)
A lot of fans on this site ,including me, think that he was part of the decision making process on Spectre, but in the interview he says he wasn't.
Sam took it away from him to let him concentrate on his acting.
I think his acting in Spectre was the worst of any of the Bond films he's made.
Casino Royale being the best of course.
The nonsense coming out of your mouth gets worse and that means something. He was indeed very assured and confident in Sp. Talking bs won't bring Turner the role, try to remember that.
If Cubby was alive they would making a Bond film this year. He was a legend.
Do you think Cubby would have cast DC as bond ?
Hi Germanlady
Do you think Cubby would have cast DC as bond ?
Me neither. Not saying they couldn't be more consistent, but it's certainly not the same. It's hard for them to maintain appeal in what is a unsustainably overcrowded marketplace.
I don't understand the 'Would Cubby have cast DC?' question. The implication is that it was a bad idea, when it was clearly the opposite.
Back then, there were no franchise competitions and Bond was a solid survivor. People may argue that Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films and some other one-time or two-timers made shedload of money and whatnot, but none of them had been stable and ongoing film franchises until Marvel Cinematic Universe was given life with the extreme success of The Avengers (2012). The rest (DCEU) followed that trend.
Now, we've got dozens of franchises churning out materials that have been existing over millions of publications for each issue for over 75 years, all backed by major corporations like Walt Disney and Warner Bros.
Bond is nowhere near like that, and a box office failure will result them in loss of money and therefore public interest. Bond is a family business and isn't backed by major corporations so with this IP, the producers have to play it careful. There are certain limits they can't pass and there are certain standards they have to stick to. So, no. I don't think either Michael or Barbara will be going out of their heads to do something stupid that might cost them the franchise. It's all about strategy.
The James Bond film series can't compete regularly with the likes of MCU, DCEU, Star Wars and other blockbuster franchises stabilized by major monster corporations that are drowning the movie market since the 2010s. Danjaq don't have these sort of resources nor the budget to release a movie every year without taking precautions. They've got to play it right and hit the right spot. I can't blame Babs or Mike for not giving us Bond films more often than they used to. It's a whole lot of different market now.
No implication intended. Maybe Cubby would have cast DC ? But i don't think so personally.
Babs doesn't have the same clout as Cubby did, and being a woman in Hollywood and co doesn't help because they are a sexist bunch i think.
They make Spiderman reboots every few years.
Batman movie every 2 years.
Even the Fast and Furious films are made every 2 years or so.
Why can't they make Bond films every 2-3 years again ?
He favoured Tim Dalton over the Broz.
Barbara has plenty of clout in Hollywood. They can make a film every two years, the question is how that slots into an already overcrowded marketplace. Cubby operated in a very different era.
Exactly - he favoured the Daltonator.
