Now go back to sleep and tell me what Happened after Madeline hugged her? :P
I'll see if I can reconnect to the EON servers tonight and source more leaks :))
:))
Latest thing from Q branch, it's called Mask
=))
Deakins and Sandgren talk a little bit about NTTD at the very end, Linus talks about what drew him to the project - he doesn't like franchise films much but was drawn to working with Fukunaga, working on something so historic like Bond, how emotional (!) the script is too.
Linus is much more enthusiastic.
Interesting, because Deakins brought it up. I think he was more interested in placing emphasis on Linus and not trying to make the question about himself. But then again, it always seemed that Deakins was never all that sold on doing SF. This is a shame because his work on that film is A+.
I think while we obviously know Bond will return, so it’s a given that we’ll get the return card, I do think the ending might be a bit more definitive than we might think. Especially if the rumours of
It’s also a fairly straightforward ending when you take the daughter stuff out of the equation; maybe too straightforward. And would they really kill off, or sideline, the new black female 007, so Bond could make his triumphant return and retake his old number? I don’t think they’d do that, but also, the series is tied to the 007 brand. Only way around this is to reboot with the next actor. Which to me indicates a fairly definitive ending.
Pute conjecture on my part here, I don’t think the “Boyle wanted to kill off Bond” rumours are true, I think it’s the opposite. Boyle has said he was coming to it from the books, and by the sounds of the rumours there (Russian villain), wanted to make it fairly topical. I think what he wanted to do was probably much more of a lean, dirty, straightforward thriller, modernising the series in the same way GE and CR did. But Craig and Barbara I reckon wanted something a bit more radical for his last one. The culmination of the character stuff they’ve been doing.
I think Bond, knowing he can’t walk away, sacrifices himself to save the world and his family. Dies in action. The new 007 stays on at the end, ala Joseph Gordon Levitt in The Dark Knight Rises. Next film is another hard reboot, solidfying the Craig era as its own seperate thing. James Bond will return, as he always does, but it’ll be a different take. Craig’s Bond will be dead.
No Time to Die seems (at least tonally) to fit in with where Craig's era was going, so to change that and for Craig's last film go for a more lean, straightforward thriller probably just wasn't the right approach.
As for everything else you mention, I agree with most of it. As you say, they're not gonna sideline or kill off Nomi. That's just wishful thinking from those who feel threatened by her character being in the film unfortunately. I'm sure she'll get a cool last shot in the movie and we can just appreciate another cool Bond girl who will only appear here.
Although, I do kinda think there's a chance Bond will end with Madeleine, but I don't know anymore if that would happen considering that's where we start in the film, and I'll be surprised if this film goes that full circle. It may be more poetic for him to be alone...
...and then as you say, the James Bond will return and will get ready for what I'm also sure will be another hard reboot, and it is possible to do that without an origin story, which is probably what they'll do.
Concerning No Time to Die making it this year, the two big "ifs" hanging in the air in my mind seem to be if Tenet can perform well enough (whatever figure the big wigs see as "well enough"), and if things with the virus don't get significantly worse. I desperately want NTTD out by its fourth release date, but with how things have been for this film and in the world, obviously I can't have too much hope. Theaters need bigger revenue soon though, and fast, I would think.
Do we think if they can’t release it in cinemas come November that they’ll cut their losses and sell it to Netflix or someone (or just release it to buy on VOD)? Because that’s what I’d rather at that point. I’ve been to the cinema for every Bond since 1987, so it would be gutting for me. But at the same time, it has been five years. And if things are worse again come November then it’d be a nice little pick me up having a new Bond film, even if it’s one I have to watch at home.
I have a feeling they’d rather keep pushing it back than do that though. It’s Craig’s last film. I can’t see them forsaking a traditional big, theatrical release.

Yes, quite. Which is why I tend to stay away from this thread. I'm pretty much fed up with all the panicking and "ifs, ands or buts".
The thread would be a lot better if members stopped attempting to police it like they are moderators. Just get on with your own posts.
I'm not "policing" anything, it's just my general "opinion" of this thread.
Some of us just cannot stop seeing everything the negative way. I can say that, can I?
You blame others for acting like a mod, while you just did exactly that in your last sentence.
We don't have to bring up corona or "streaming" in every thread. That's my point.
That'll be all for today. :>
I wasn't singling you out with my comment - if I was I would have tagged you in it - so save the hyper-sensitivity for someone who does single you out. It's not the first time this conversation has been had and it won't be the last.
And no, that's not what I was doing. Encouraging people to post what they want to is not the same as people telling others to not to post anything off topic in a thread that is nearly three years old and has tangents on every page. It's actually the opposite, despite your own personal offence at the notion.
As I said before - if you have no interest in a topic of discussion, ignore it or introduce your own that you feel is better suited to the thread. The mood is sour enough at the best of times with the current situation as it is.
If it goes way off, the mods will step in as they usually do.
First time i've heard of 4DX.
Yeah sorry if I offended anyone by being “negative” or “panicking” (really just speculating lol), but I haven’t been on here for a while, and these production diary threads have always been pretty much anything goes for as long as I can remember. The Spectre one was like that, and this one has been like that.
So at this point, can we not just accept them as general discussion spaces for the upcoming movie? They don’t get the thousands of comments they get from solely talking about production details.
Fine by me, but I only speak for myself! :)
Don't do it. At least not for your first viewing!
I've never heard about that rule.
If I were them I wouldn't start the next campaign until early October.
