    Without a doubt. He seems smart, classy and worldly-wise, something that feels more necessary in a director these days than simply being British. I don’t want to jump the gun without having seen the film but he certainly seems to have brought a level of energy and refinement to this. The perfect combination.



    No. Nothing can compensate the director being British. The film looks too Hollywood and bombastic. I hope I am wrong.

    We shall see, but my gut response to this was "nonsense".

    Yeah I don't think there's anything about nationality that's essential to this series: a third of the actors who played Bond weren't British by birth, and the whole thing has been produced by four Americans only since it started 58 years ago and they don't exactly seem to have been impeded by their country of birth!

    True, sometimes I even forget that the producers of this Beloved British character are Americans.

    Yeah I've never been hugely sure if I even see them as British films, even. Obviously they're made here with a majority British crew, but they are and always have been US studio movies. Something like Star Wars is probably just as British, but I don't think anyone really sees them as anything other than American films, do they?

    Sure, Star Wars are definitely American films....but like the Bond franchise, it's diverse, since it featured British actors like Liam Neeson & Ewan McGregor. And with George Lucas being it's Creator, it further cements the fact that Star Wars is indeed American.

    Broccoli and Wilson are british citizens for quite a few years now aswell.
    They live and work in Britain.
    Yes, they are US-citizens by birth and still hold the US citizenship besides the british. But EON Productions is a british company.
    So the Bond movies are 100% british productions with some US money (coming from the production/distribution partner).
    More so than Star Wars.

    A bombastic Bond movie? Whatever next?!

    So glad EON have finally nixed that idiotic rule about not hiring American directors.

    That is funny. The only ones I know of besides Indians and Pakistanis to use so many English words are the Danes.

    James bond won't die from bullet, he will commit suicide after hearing this.
    I remember Spectre releasing in 4 different languages but this time i heard universal India release it in 10 different languages. I don't even see the purpose, they won't be generating much revenues from them anyway. Most people i know will be watching in Hindi or English. Still other regional languages is even funnier, just go see the comments section of this, even people there are having fun 😁

    Still i will download pirated versions of different languages just for fun after the release.

    But made in England by a predominately British crew, much like Bond.

    The iSpot link says that Bond and Madeleine are engaged... Interesting.

    Don't take that as official, they write their own synopses usually.

    The real question:

    Are we hearing our first sample of Hans Zimmer's Bond score?!
  • edited March 2020 Posts: 6,709
    And...it's a submaglider!!! Dibs on the name. Gliderine? Submaglider? Yeah, the later sounds better.

    Yes, very Zimmerish, very Bondian as well. Good combo, I'd say.

    Basic screencaps for debate. Maybe @Red_Snow can fix them in HQ?

    Lab? scene is really creepy. Masks on tv-screens and what hell is it in those tanks? Trapped humans? Or some animals moving? I can see air bubbles

    Might be the closest the franchise gets to infuse Horror elements. Although, LALD had Baron Samedi & TSWLM had Jaws.

    You know what I love? All these trailers coming out and I still have no idea what's going on story-wise.

    At this point in SP's postproduction, I feel like I already knew everything. It's a refreshing change.

    Yeah I'm really looking forward to that. Cary has a flair for weird atmospheric-type stuff like the final act of True Detective.

    Far more grounded but I really liked all the skull/death symbolism in Skyfall and Spectre I hope some of that vibe returns.

    Hate, hate, hate to be that guy, but the CGI on that sub entrance is....not good.

    But on the other hand...
    It looks like it's the glider which turns into a submarine! Which is pretty cool.
