Well, as I said, it's the internet so you are free to believe whatever you want right? :)
I don't pretend to know ANYTHING, I just go by interviews and quotes from people behind the scenes (and I would rather slash my wrists than ever quote a tabloid)
And celebrities make stuff up half the time anyway because they know that they are under a microscope 24/7.
At the end of the day the only thing that matters is that we are both excited for the film, are we not? We just go about it with different perspectives.
That doesn't mean you should just make stuff up. You can't just tell a lie and say 'it's the internet' as if that's an excuse. It's not your opinion that she said that: it's a fact that she didn't.
Not really, it's about telling the truth and not inventing stuff. I'm looking forward to the film, so I don't like folks lying about it.
Well I mean she came quite late to the project and the basic story is not hers, so she has worked on the dialogue of someone else's screenplay. If the film is no good it would be silly to blame her for the overall failure. That responsibility would lie more with P&W and CJF. However if there is some witty and entertaining dialogue I think we can be fairly certain that its thanks to her as P&W have never written a single decent line of dialogue.
Lol what? There is no truth here, we are talking about internet rumor and quotes, that are constantly taken out of context and reinterpreted... ah whatever i'm already bored by this. I'll see that i do something productive with my day today.
I´m neither a fan nor a hater of P&W. Aside DAD they never got hired to write an entire script on their own. They got hired to lay down a fundament for other writers to expand on, or to expand on an existing draft. Justified or not, in none of these cases they were charged with writing a script on their own. So how can anyone possibly claim to know who wrote exactly what? Maybe the first writer has one funny idea the producers like, so they tell the second writer to use that kind of funniness more often. Maybe the sceond writer wouldn´t have thought at all of that funny stuff if he/she hadn´t gotten the instruction, but once he/she understands it, he/she produces more of it successfully. So who is to be credited for the film being funny?
Doesn´t have to be funniness, can be any element.
I think it is rather safe to say that lines in NTTD that sound like they´re from projects PWB allegedly wrote on her own are written by her.
You're evidently wrong. Use Google and find his interview from Jamaica and the fact he was even given a 'shout-out' of sorts at the SF press conference. Honestly, so many comments in this thread could easily be deleted if people did their research before commenting.
What’s most curious about the article is that Barbara Broccoli was so pivotal in casting……
It sounds to me that they were interested in Ana De Armas for the Madeleine Swann role. I guess her lack of English at the time and generally her more ‘glamourous’ look precluded her from getting the role. This was how De Armas looked in 2015 – she was also v young:
Of course, since then De Armas made Blade Runner and Knives Out. She’s a legit star in the making. So a savvy move of Eon’s to grab her again.
Also, how did we miss that Lynch starred in a play produced by Broccoli?!? I suppose that after Lupita passed, she became the natural substitute. Something tells me that Lynch just has that little more ‘edge’ than Lupita. A little less precious.
We're only talking about rumours because you're starting them. It's not a matter of opinion that she's 'working on only the female dialogue': you've made that up. It's a fake fact. This bizarre defence that 'it's the internet and what everyone else does'... how is that an excuse for making things up?
You can think she's rubbish, you can think she's great: these are matters of opinion. What she's actually doing on it isn't a matter of opinion though, even if we're unlikely to ever find out exactly how much she's brought to it. Do you understand the difference? Why not just say you were mistaken to think she's only doing the female dialogue? You do understand that there's no reason to think that at all?
I find Craig's role more surprising. PWB talks about how she went in to meet "Daniel and Barbara" about the job; presumably he'll get another exec producer role on this? I think it's great he's so invested in it.
Fair points. You are probably right about most of this. But I still think if it turns out to be witty/funny we can be fairly sure thats thanks to PWB and not P&W.
As for interpretation, people will read what they want to read, and yes may misunderstand your comment, but at the end of the day it’s not my job to make sure someone doesn’t get confused. For example, I don’t see the problem with my post about the film’s budget... most of people would understand the discussion I’m trying to introduce. I’ve posted the title to the article, a link to the article, and a question to support why I’ve even posted it in the first place. Also, what are you trying to say? That it’s not the insulting posts and trolling members that are ruining the site, but the people who “need to reinterpret their posts as to not confuse people”, when a lot of the time the post makes sense, and it’s just the silly comments and harsh opinions that mess it all up. Again, it’s not my job to make sure someone reads the post properly, and if they don’t, then whatever confused debate follows is on them.
Such a cold finger...
It's pretty clear that he just bolded the headline. They're not his words. ;)
...and thanks for the clarification @CraigMooreOHMSS :)
Anytime.
I suggest that if we know someone made an error, we just correct the information and don´t make a fuss about it. Otherwise it´s oil in the flames.
We could probably waste hours now claiming,"yes it is", "no it isn´t"....
I believe John Milius did this (with a little improv from Robert Shaw) for the dinner boat scene in Jaws.
Excuse me? I'm incapable of inaccurate research.
Or per the sentiment of your previous post, you could acknowledge it as a simple mistake, and we can move on. It was pretty clear to me what it was. I completely agree with what you said previously, but you just chose a poor example to back it up in this case. No big deal.
Baz is someone who's become a rather reliable journalist when it comes to Bond. I believe it was he who first revealed that Naomie Harris would be casted in Skyfall and that she would be playing Moneypenny, for example.
EDIT: As well as Ralph Fiennes's casting and Berenice Marlohe & Ben Whishaw's casting. Anyways, he's very reliable.
That's 100% right. If you change or even tweak the dialogue for one character in a scene, then, in most cases, the other characters' dialogue has to be altered to reflect that change, whether it's a conversation, banter, or a verbal attack etc. So, as she was tasked with sprucing up the dialogue and, in doing so, the characters, it is very likely PWB contributed her unique voice to a high percentage of the screenplay. From what she has said, the structure/plot etc. was already solid, so it seems she had less impact on that, but by working into those all important character scenes, she would have had some impact on the plotting.
So…..when he says that NTTD involved genetic warfare, then NTTD involves genetic warfare.
Like I said, on this device you are using there is a thing called Google. Why are people questioning him without first having done this is beyond me.
I can assure you I got my trailer news from a reliable source with knowledge of the PR schedule for NTTD (otherwise I would not have posted it); the PR plan has the "first international trailer" scheduled for the beginning of December. Of course UPI/EON could easily change their plans and drop it earlier too, but currently it's the best info we can get.
@JamesBondde any date specifically?
This was all in 2012. For NTTD:
- 7 years have passed
- He didn't have as much info on Spectre or on Bond 25 at the same stage of production
- His sources at EON or MGM (which were mostly about casting) may have changed and may not provide him with as many details
- His relationship with EON may not be as solid as before
Etc.As per the author of the THR piece.
@Denbigh, I didn't mean necessarily responibility, I just uttered an idea, a possibility what we can do to make/keep this place a happy place.
I stand by my opinion that people who behave in a toxic way toward other people they don't know at all in person, but just from the internet, have trouble managing their lives. There is no justifiable reason to act uncivil towards others on the internet over a discussion of a film.
Okay, dude. If you say so.
A teaser or theatrical trailer?
I think we can only speculate for now, besides - the label teaser trailer has become synonymous with first trailer anyway, even if it is more substantial... But pretty sure it'll essentially be a more substantial theatrical trailer, as opposed to a more cryptic teaser.
