That is a really nice box set I have it at home
Maybe we could start a separate thread for bullshit on Twitter and in tabloid rags so people can post this drivel in there and leave this thread for actual facts from EON when they eventually come out?
Could call it something along the lines of 'The Clickbait Thread For The Terminally Gullible'.
Yeah, but it feels good to say it, GL. ;-)
Crap.
His name is Cumberbitch.

Given the reviews Dunkirk is getting I think EON would be mad not to give him the gig if he is so keen.
I'm seeing Dunkirk on Saturday so I'm reserving final judgement as I still have my doubts about his action scenes but who out there is a) better, b) guarantees as many bums on seats and c) is as eager to do it.
Shame they had to shoot their wad already with SPECTRE and Blofeld as giving Nolan total control over a Blofeld trilogy with a new Bond, although maybe not to everyone's tastes on here, would be nailed on box office and could hardly be any worse than the hotchpotch we just got.
Your post made me hopeful, @TheWizardOfIce. I can honestly see Nolan do a good Bond film.
@Murdock I think you need to accept this is a strong possibility at some point, I'm not saying a definite but Nolan is likely at some point going to be given the keys to the EON castle.
Personally I certainly wouldn't boycott a Nolan film but I'm not pining for it despite him being one of my favourite directors around and loving bar the final chapter his Batman trilogy.
Nolan is hotter than hot with Dunkirk looking like the most critically acclaimed summer film in recent memory (I personally can't wait to see it on Saturday).
I'm interested to know would you boycott the film and not be willing to give it a chance?
I think you seem to think Nolan will just deliver something like his Bat trilogy you seem to hate so much and even claim the Schumacher films are better ( laughable).
Nolan is no one trick pony you only need to look at his CV to see he doesn't make the same film over and over again, one of the most diverse directors on the big budget circuit.
I think it's quite presumptuous to think Nolan will just do Dark Knight with Bond just because Mendes did that with his Bond films.
I would imagine Nolan is perfectly capable of delivering something lighter, a real extravaganza, I'm sure he wouldn't repeat the same trick as Mendes, especially when that director cribbed from his style and ideas.
I doubt you won't go if he did, you love Bond and look at less critically than some of us others, I can't believe you'd have nothing to do with it if CN was the man behind it.
You might find you would have to eat humble pie and realise that what he delivers is exactly what Bond needs, you might but I doubt it as you seem predisposed to dislike it.
I don't think Nolan would approach Bond in the same way he approached Batman.
I'm not taking sides on the Nolan issue, but there is a pretty big contradiction in one of the recent posts in this thread.
That's exactly what I said, Nolan is more than likely to make something nowhere like Skyfall or SPECTRE, I think he would surprise a lot of people who seem convinced they know exactly what he would deliver.
You are massive fan of the Brosnan era and would most likely love it to go back to that kind of thing, I wouldn't personally and bar a recent revision of Goldeneye I pretty much hate the other 3.
If that is what you want for Bond and you get your wish, I'll be off. You really want generic simple entries, be honest a replay of the Brosnan era would suit you down to the ground.
Michael Bay and Nolan are completely different, Bay hasn't anywhere the imagination and craft that Nolan has, his films are brainless eye candy if he got Bond it would a travesty. I don't see the correlation between the two, Nolan is acclaimed and celebrated, Bay is derided but for some reason popular.
So why were you very disappointed in the trailer for 'The Snowman' because you expected another 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'? Why expect people to be surprised at Nolan doing something totally different than what he usually do when you had the exact opposite reaction to the trailer to Alfredson's new film?
And? What you find generic, I enjoy. I'm a Bond fan that's easier to please. Whether you stay around for the show is up to you. I'm not going to tell you what to like and dislike.
Both are very popular directors that make successful movies. I like neither honestly but you can't deny they don't make money. Just because they're popular doesn't mean I'm going to like them.
Yes, I'm agreeing with you. To me it comes down to the man himself. Nolan has done all his stories a certainly way clearly because that's how he saw those stories needed to be told. I don't see any evidence to suggest that Nolan is averse to letting his hair down, should the right script come along. I think Bond has a special place in his heart, and he understands the larger than life aspect is important.
In a lot of ways, the smoothest transition would be from Mendes SP straight into Nolan with a new actor.
His man hired Harry Styles. We're in business. :D
Makes complete sense. Are you mid stroke?
