TB is boring only in the underwater scenes, and that's only after you've seen it dozens of times, IMO. A great film altogether.
The best. ;-)
Well he's a civil servant, so he has to be! He also worked under Freddie Gray, the longest serving Minister of Defence ever, who himself must've been surpriingsly apolitical considering it's a Cabinet role as he managed to hold the role despite the Government changing while he was in office and the role having been changed to the Secretary of State for Defence thirteen years before he took it on :D
Did you read the UK GQ article? It may make you think the chances of going backwards to another era aren't exactly in the cards.
And yes, I'm betting at least five years before we meet the next 007 (although I'm interested to see how the Universal deal pans out; if they sign on for a multi-picture deal with EoN, that may be the pressure BB may need to fast track finding a new actor and getting the film out in three to four years).
Of course you are. ;) B-) :-B :bz
The very best, I'd say ;)
I am fine with DC giving his money to Bernie. I am sure he'll give to Biden this summer. Whatever it takes to unseat the current administration.
As for Wright: the analogy fits.
Check out the bumper sticker in the final moments.
This film will be more than fine. It will be, I do believe, a great Bond film. Just from what I have seen and read about the actual making of it. And my instincts. Releasing it now in November was the right decision for many reasons (all discussed already, I'm sure).
So what can we talk about on this thread and keep it relevant to NTTD? New interviews and articles on it, sure. Photos, leaks (though I hope for NO leaks), etc. What we don't need is any chat about the personal lives, loves, politics, opinions, eating habits of actors, directors, producers, all involved.
Do you find bliss in yours? Our side isn't the one denying evolution, climate change, and the current pandemic. How are your stocks doing?
Extremely jealous!
This is awesome. How Bond posters are meant to be.
I'd also argue that the nature of fandom has changed. In the early days of Bond, adults and their kids would go watch the movies, and newspapers might review them, and that was that. The very concept of the 'fandom' is a more recent phenomenon - adults investing lots of time and energy in online forums, people buying all the Bond gear, peppering people associated with the movies with social media contacts . . . it's a far more complex and frustrating world to step into as an artist.

Daniel Craig, at the service of James Bond
The British actor, who will put himself in the shoes of the famous secret agent 007 in the movie 'No time to die', is the protagonist of our March edition.
March 10, 2020
Infatuated with his ability to naturally and elegantly solve the most difficult situations, the public forgets that James Bond is flesh and blood. But the saga has given us many clues: he did it on On Her Majesty's Secret Service when he got married; in Four Your Eyes Only when he visited his wife's grave, and he delves much deeper into his human side since Daniel Craig stepped into the shoes of 007.
Now Bond is a man with a past and in No Time to Die the actor delves into his personal story, to the point of saying goodbye to the character. "We have taken the same direction of the previous films, improving. I don't have a phrase to describe it exactly, but Fukunaga has made the film spectacular", he assured.
"The character has been evolving over the years. The saga has been on the screen for 55 years. Society has changed and Bond has changed. Each actor who played him did so showing his personality. Roger Moore was different than Timothy Dalton; Pierce Brosnan was very different from George and Sean [Connery] was the one who laid the foundation for the character. I started with Casino Royale with a very crude Bond. The personality of this secret agent has been evolving with me in these years, in which I have been creating it".
Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, the first filmmaker in charge of a James Bond film without a British passport, the film was written by Hollywood fashion screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the mind behind the hit series Fleabag on Amazon Prime. The presence of Walter-Bridge, in front of the first Bond film to be released since the advent of the #MeToo era, suggests that Ian Fleming's womanizing character has also been forced to acclimatize to the new times.
Daniel Craig confronts the villain starring Rami Malek in his James Bond farewell. We know that Malek plays Safin, an evil tech savvy who wants, in his own way, to save the world. Obviously 007 is there to stop me from getting it. The James Bond films are huge and put the actors who play them to the test, Malek is no different, in front of him was a mega budget, an action-packed stunt performance filmed in a variety of exotic locations.
Eventually, Bond will have to face Franz Oberhauser again, played by Austrian Christoph Waltz. "Christoph is one of the best actors of the moment and we are very lucky to have his presence. I was surprised how he takes advantage of his role in the best possible way", admitted Craig. The actor explained how proud he is to participate in No Time to Die, where Malek joins a long list of villains in the history of this saga.
The film introduces us to a Bond away from active duty who enjoys a quiet life in Jamaica. Their peace will be cut short when their old CIA friend Felix Leiter appears asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be much more treacherous than expected, something that will lead Bond to face Safin, a mysterious villain armed with very dangerous new technology.
Thanks to Daniel, the famous British spy created by Ian Fleming adapts to the times of the millennium. This Bond, vulnerable and less womanizing, has put in his pocket to generations who love video games. Just look at the numbers of the latest installments to understand how well the most famous character of the Anglo-Saxon empire remains: "He is as demanding now as he was in the past. It is a genuine and authentic role that requires hard work", says Craig.
Dressed as Tom Ford, with his classic Aston Martin and his dry martinis, 007 returns to the screens with No Time to Die. Filming James Bond is unlike anything. It is the longest shoot an actor can experience because it lasts eight months. It is something extraordinary that takes you around the world. "We have been to Jamaica, London, Spain... I pinch myself in the morning to believe that I have been able to drive an Aston Martin attached to the Colosseum. It is really sensational", explains Craig, who confesses that in his adolescence he dreamed of having a tailor-made wardrobe. "I love Bond's style."
"I always wanted to dress in tailor suits designed for me; I fantasized about having a tailored suit . Casino Royale, In No Time to Die, the costumes and accessories are also adapted to the millennium and to technology". For Craig, filming this film was complicated because he broke his ankle and ended up stopping filming for two months. "The most important thing in the process of shooting a film is the fans. We make movies for them. I don't stop to think about expectations because the important thing is to do my job well."
"It was difficult to overcome my injury, but I recovered without problems despite the rush." Daniel Craig confesses shy, but Bond made him one of the most famous actors in Hollywood. "You think about it before signing because fame is inevitable when you surrender to the character. I can't hide from the press or what the character means. What I am going to do?". Considered an actor who never smiles, Craig is confused by that statement. "If you walk down a street and you have two guys following you around and taking pictures all the time, you won't smile either."
"It is overwhelming. I live my life and I don't care about them. I know I'm not a happy person, willing to talk to whoever it is after a long flight. That is not me". Before saying goodbye, I ask him if the idea of being known only as James Bond has crossed his mind: "Of course it has crossed my mind. To be honest, sometimes I think that if everything goes wrong, I will have earned enough to live on an island drinking cocktails with a weather-tanned tan. That idea sounds very good to me."

And Daniel Craig is a good man.
I wonder if they'll release the documentary they've been working on (Being James Bond is it) before the film is released in November?
That depends on what the intention of the documentary is: if it's a look back to what has been, then it would be a clever move to release it in between now and November. But if it is a full retrospective of the Craig era as a whole that includes NTTD (and spoilers on that film), they'll obviously wait until after the film has released.
Worse case: it might even be a bonus feature on the new blu-ray box, which means people will have to buy the 24 (or 25) films again.
I can't wait to see Daniel's Bond screen-test, hopefully they include more than a snippet of it

New series coming: Better Call Bond.
