Also, doesn't matter whether I'm comparing United 93 (plenty of shaky-cam) along with Greengrass's other work to Bourne or not; they still feature an abundance of handheld camera techniques. The point is: I personally don't like to see any shaky-cam or handheld techniques in a movie, especially a Bond movie. If it's your perception that the technique was only used sparingly in those movies, then that's your perception, not mine. Maybe you simply have a wobbly head on your shoulders and see it as natural? (Only kidding, there).
I agree that the camera was more stable in WWZ, but there were still handheld techniques that featured in the movie. And this is where I must clarify: It's the modern go-to, and overindulgence in "handheld" that I'm mostly referring to here, not just shaky-cam. I think the technique gained popularity with Saving Private Ryan and, subsequently, has been adopted by a certain clique of directors to add some kind of realism to their film. I just find it phony. It worked for Spielberg, but even he saw the sense in not overusing it in every movie he made afterwards. So far, Damange has used handheld in every production that he's made. That's the only point I was trying to make.
Adam Sandler will be cast as Felix Leiter, too.
Yes, he did: Jarhead. And the comparison wouldn't be to Mendes, anyway; the comparison would be to Villeneuve who is far more experienced in handling a production like this.
I am not trying to say that Demange can't do it, but it's a big gamble.
I think the technique was first used in 'Birdman', but I may be wrong:
No, you're quite right, I haven't seen Damenge's second feature, but it doesn't take much of a rocket scientist to deduce that if Damange's preferred shooting method has been handheld up until now, then it's highly unlikely that his next movie will be any different. If it is, and I'm wrong, then I'll retract my concerns, but as it stands, his entire body of work currently utilizes the technique that I'm not, personally, in favor of in a Bond movie.
I'm the "author" of all your pain
I do remember getting an article posted on the MI6-HQ.com (been an avid follower of the news page for over ten years, now. How time flies.) when Quantum of Solace was in pre-production, however. There were loads of Pre-Production Diary articles.
Somewhat incredibly, the paper claimed they got a 'senior executive at Hollywood studio MGM, which distributes every 007 movie' to talk about this rumour: "Daniel Craig’s decision this month to return as Bond has thrown everything into overdrive. It’s very likely that shooting for Bond 25 will begin at the end of this year or early next year. To tie-up, a deal with Beyoncé for a theme song for Daniel’s fifth appearance as 007 would really be the icing on the cake."
Of course, that quote is not from a real MGM executive, as they would know that shooting is not going to start for at least a year on Bond 25 as the release is not until November 2019. But nobody will call out the Daily Star for lying.
The Sun has already done their usual copy-and-paste job on this story. Expect to see this Beyonce fake news rattle around the tabloid echo chamber for a couple of days.

Journalist Logic.
"Daniel Craig’s decision this month to return as Bond has thrown everything into overdrive. It’s very likely that shooting for Bond 25 will begin at the end of this year or early next year. ......"
The first mistake is Craig apparently made his decision a few months ago, unless he indeed did surprise everyone on Colbert.

"I went to Tom Ford and they did exactly what I wanted. I think it’s very good for Bond because you see him moving. When he was running you could see the muscles under the trousers."
There is (or at least WAS) some confusion, with some people claiming that it's filming that will start in May 2018. For example: https://theworldofjamesbond.blog/2017/08/25/may/ (pay special attention to the comments)
Anyway, none of this matters anymore as MI6-HQ now confirms that filming won't begin for another year.
What are you talking about? If WHAT is true?
And why would you do that? Please elaborate!
EXCELLENT news! I certainly do NOT want Bond to look like he stepped out from the 90s!
What has the 90s got to do with it? Did it look like Craig stepped out of the 90s in QoS? Of course not. The supertight fit is an ill-fitting look and Craig for the most part looks ridiculous.
Yeah, he looks like a moron in those suits. They are so damn tight. They look so uncomfortable.
It is something male models and women (generally they are the ones to wear tights) would wear at a fashion festival. Someone like Bond, a sophisticated alpha male Englishman would wear a respected bespoke suit tailored somewhere at the Saville Row. That also said, the jackets also got shorter which bugs me big time, I really would prefer if they retained their original length. Not stand above the belt.
A) the patter of titles won't work
b) we will be deprived of a film with the title Blofeld.
What a shame. I still can't figure out how anyone thinks that's proper attire for a secret agent. The look of the suits is one thing, but it's jarring sometimes in SP when it looks like Craig may implode from how tight his suit is.
