On the other Hand, if they Hand the script from writer to writer, why not try once and Hand a half-shot film to another director ;-)?
It is a weird one. I always felt that QoS suffered from external factors but ultimately it was Marc Forster that suffered as a result. The writers strike obviously massively hampered efforts, but I also think Marc's insistence on cutting the movie led to a film that feels very pressured.
I feel that as time has gone on, QoS has aged pretty well. In the canon of the other films, it does have a slightly different tone but I feel it works more than it fails. It feels a bit distant in the characterisations of Bond - but given it's context in a wider story arc, I like it. It's one of the reasons I was frustrated with Spectre, trying to retcon the story. It throws away a lot of emotional and narrative capital that the other films had built up.
Obviously, we don't know how much of a hand in story development Mendes had, so it seems unfair to point that finger at him. As I understand it QoS also left the most amount of scenes on the cutting room floor - such as Guy Haines death along with Mr White but I understand this was due to keeping future plotlines open.
This is getting ridiculous, wouldn't you say?
At a given point, a member posted a night time photo of a shoot at Pinewood and no one, not a single soul commented on it.
Jeez, guys, a little more hope and enthusiasm wouldn't hurt, would it?
It's the internet age - pessimism and cynicism rule - just look at Star Wars fans!
Indeed. It's exhausting.
My eyes hurt from all the rolling they've been doing while looking at some of the stuff that's been posted here, lately.
Haugesunder kept James Bond awake
Many haugesundere (people living in the city of Haugesund) like the coffee at Hos Carlos. Last week, the proprietor was flown in to make coffee on the set of the new James Bond movie.
The article is behind a paywall, so I can't access the rest of the content, but wow – fly a guy to the set only to make coffee…

Haha so true!
Related: I can't help but notice after a quick Google maps search that Haugesund is absolutely nowhere near the Atlantic Ocean Road. "Flown in", indeed.
Do we think they're secretly filming somewhere else in Norway, or does this place just have really, really good coffee? ;)
I hope there's more to the story (behind the paywall), because flying in a barista seems so bizarre and unnecessary. You'll find good baristas all over the country. :-?
Ummm.....here's a video of Fukunaga accepting his Auteur Award at the Indiewire awards......
@TR007 you're clearly not a cinephile. Are you?
Despite what many people around here think of SP and Sam Mendes - I think personally that despite all the problems during the pre-production Mendes probably saved SP during the filming.
I heard that he wanted to walk because he wasn't happy with the screenplay. It was probably in the pre-production stage as opposed to walking when the film was already shooting.
Oh dear. :-SS
Easy because after Sam Smiths song is done the movie never gets really going anymore it lacks energy and logic, the action-scenes become pedestrian, the torture scene and the consequent destruction of the SPECTRE headquarters does raise a lot more eyebrows than just Rogers would.
SP is a movie that should have been made with a different director who knows how to do action and a decent movie, SP is easily poorer than anything 007 ever made and CR'67 is a hellofalot more fun.
Lets not turn this into a SP discussion as there are plenty of other threads for that but I am a SP fan. Personally i thought the action was well handled. Not a huge fan of the BROFELD plot but there is still a lot to enjoy during SP running time. I can easily put it on just to watch the pre-credit sequence and find myself staying all the way to the very end! With the scrip staying the same I don't think another director would have made it any better. For example - Martin Campbell would not have done a better job with the same script and the same action set pieces.
Back to BOND25.
Sorry for lack of news as all threads seem to turn into criticism's of past directors/actors/ films.
What?! You must have really good intel. Do tell. Then again, don't.
EON is not having trouble with Fukunaga!!!
We don't know who had issues with who regarding Boyle!!!
They didn't have issues with Mendes!!!
This is all fan fiction, and we know the general quality of that.
Get real, guys.
+1
I am thinking fukanaga for Bond 26 with Hemsworth as Bond ....
One of us will be right
Mendes and Logan pretty much had a whole year (March 2013 to March 2014) to come up with the plot and an outline script. When BB finally called it in, they discovered the, erm, script, and alarm bells rang from there.
Sounds someone is making up a point. Please, I’d love to see your sources.
Exactamundo! :)
