I remember your lengthy essays projecting that the Rome car chase would be akin to Ronin. Don’t jinx it, mate!
Just to add, welcome back to the forums @GertGettler ;)
hehehe……...And in retrospect…….I was entirely disappointed about it hehe. It's also the fun thing: we have to wait and see :-P.
I wrote a very long biography about the man for jamesbond.nl . Feel free to Google translate it. To be honest, I think Cary Fukunaga is perhaps a better man for Bond than Sam Mendes. He's more of a multitasker than previous Bond directors. Very 'athletic' on set. If you can film 440 mins of film in only three months (True Detective), than that's not very much a Sam Mendes thing. His TV-approach could be something beneficial to NTTD:

And, Cary is quite strange guy too. I mean if this is one of your favourite websites: https://cabinporn.com/
I am counting on it.
In many ways the production of NTTD reminds me about the troubles with QOS. But Cary Fukunaga is obviously a much different director than Marc Forster. He's not talking about earth-wind-fire-bullshit. He shuts up, doesn't talk a lot, and just executes :-). So perhaps it could become like that other troubled production, FRWL, so that despite all that bad luch, it becomes a masterpiece. We....simply don't know yet atm. ;)

(Secretly hoping he is coaxed back for one more)
Oh, that’d be a dream! Unfortunately I don’t see it happening.
1) Casino 2006
2) Quantum 2008
3) Skyfall 2011
4) Spectre 2014
5) No Time To Die 2017/2018
6). Bond 26 2020
Craig retires.
I mean too many long gaps for films and Craig is just looking super old at this point. Great shape and not bad for one final film but no way could he do another and have it released in 2024. He loves those 4-5 year gaps!
2008-2012 (4 years)
2015-2020 (5 years)
When you have empty streets like in SP, it becomes boring.
Agreed. I'm remembering the Grand Bazaar from Skyfall, a well done and intense chase sequence.
Well, they couldn't have sheep at the Vatican.
Wait a minute...
I couldn’t agree more and I’m a bit surprised the choice of director didn’t get more buzz. I suppose he may not be a household name yet, but I think once we see some official footage in a trailer a lot of heads will turn.
am I reading this correctly? a 24/7 007 channel?
Also, after all the crap this film has been getting (which I personally blame on how much movie audiences have changed over the last few years), Bond 25 deserves to be and I think will be a great film, and I'm hoping it'll fully launch Cary's career and if these behind the scenes looks are anything to go by, my hopes will be met.
Dan approves this comment.
2nd Unit using a different clapperboard format.
Correct. "X" can be indicative of a slate number for 2nd Unit, rather than scene number. So it could be Slate 46 rather than Scene 46.
Welcome to the forums @00Dalton7
Swann is part of the chase in the DB5. Unless Matera features during the chase and later in the movie, then it's unlikely to be Swann.
I do like that none of us can be certain what's going on, or how the story pans out. Great job on EON's part.
What I mean is if this scene is mid movie and is Bond does visit an old flame at any point it will be her. The old flame thing is misdirection. I don’t think she will be with him in Jamaica having gone their separate ways before the film starts. I even think she may survive the film for Bond and her to end up together post films events. Just my theory.
The writers strike and studio bosses have cost DC possibly equalling RM record of 7 films. He could have possibly even beaten it? A real shame but as we know a similar issue happened to TD costing him a 3rd movie.
