Sure a French podcast has more insight than the director himself. XD
Mais oui, c'est logique. #:-S
It's just that I have no trust in the producers. If someone like Fukunaga asks for more time and a little more money, give it to him ! If the film is great I will be frustrated if some details like the special effects are imperfect because the producers wanted to make as much profit as possible.
He did not ask for that.
Exactly, and think how much extra cash they already had to spend on NTTD, with Boyle leaving, the first couple delays, 6 writers in total, replacing Romer with Zimmer (who certainly isn't as cheap) and now another 9 Month delay with basically another marketing campaign on top...
Also just because Fukunaga said he would have liked more time, doesn't mean that NTTD isn't already the best film it could be. Every creative person in charge will say they wish they had more time, that's just the way it is.
If you look at the top pic with the DBS head on, something does look off about it imo. I’ve looked at hundreds of photos and loads of videos of the superleggera because I’m in love with most things Aston. It’s something in the photo of the scale of the Aston that seems slightly off to me, and the way the tyres look. Perhaps I’m just imagining it though.
He said : « more time would have been lovely » and to the question « why not use such a delay to add some polish ? » he has answered : « short answer is money ». So for me it’s very clear that he would not be against a little more time and money.
Edit- I’m also certain the DBS doesn’t have that much ground clearance either. Although again that could easily be Q’s work.
Babs needs to toss PWB a copy of MR and say, "We're doing another CR with the new Bond."
Absolutely. A Nov 2020 release will force NTTD to underperform regardless the reception and the quality of the film. How much, it’s still impossible to figure.
If Fukunaga asks for 50 million more ok, but I don't think that's the case.
Making a Bond film is a punch. A marathon. It’s always been like this. They finished the film on schedule, Cary said “It is great as it is” and that’s it.
Thing's Will be much more clear in July imo.
Yeah, the thing is, I've really enjoyed Craig's Grounded & Gritty take on the Character. But I really want the Next Bond to be a mixture of both. I hate to be pretentious.....I've really missed the larger than life Landscape of James Bond.
Sure... but since life on planet earth won’t be the same as long as there’s not a vaccine/cure it’s obvious places like theaters will be affected in some form.
MGM are already taking a 30-50m hit from delayed marketing, and financially trying to offset the delay...not to mention, post production facilities where you'd do all the tweaks at this point are now all closed.
If Cary was so unhappy - and the producers themselves weren't happy with the film - then they'd have given him the money.
I don't know if I'm believing that just yet. Stranger things have happened though.
Craig's eyeline in the shot would be a giveaway you'd think as the Valhalla will be much lower (not sure how you'd drive it down that track either!)
I guess one thing which could be in its favour is that the DBS was revealed to be in the film very late in the process (wasn't it on James Bond Day?) which did seem a bit odd.
Speaking of digital effects replacing things, is that story about Craig's gloves being replaced by digital hands in Skyfall definitely true? Because when I watch that scene it's almost impossible to believe. It might be just in the shot in the Jellyfish sequence where he pockets his gun? Because after that he is wearing gloves.
Do I believe that the Valhalla will be/has been digitally replaced, no, not necessarily, but it is not beyond belief.
“Invisible “, uncredited digital tweaking in films is very common, and big business. Most of it consists of subtle “facelifts “ and wrinkle remover on actors and actresses.
As far as realistically rendering a vehicle in post, it’s done to perfection frequently. MI:RN,and Mad Max: RF are just two examples.
Just look at the ground clearance... The car itself looks "real", but that is not 100% correct... :-?
I don’t have enough knowledge concerning the actual car to judge, but there’s “real” , and there’s film. Even if it is the actual vehicle, modifications may have been made for practical it cinematic reasons.
An example that comes to mind is Clint Eastwood’s 44 Magnum in Dirty Harry. Three different guns with three different barrel lengths were used , all depicting the same gun, depending on the shot .
Yes, correct...
We'll find out. One day. :D
