    Barbara Broccoli spurned Chris Nolan as director for fear of him having too much control ie Final Cut etc. sounds like she had lost the plot so best to get fresh blood involved .

    And if Cubby had given final cut away to the latest fashionable director rather than trust his experienced instinct..?

    I think the only Bond director from the Broccoli/Saltzmen era who was allowed final cut was Peter Hunt, and that was because he went behind their backs and to UA to get them to back off when they tried to trim the movie. A UA executive saw a print of OHMSS and told both Cubby and Harry to leave the film as is. I’d say that was a pretty good call in retrospect. Now a Nolan Bond film? That might be a different story…

    Why? Because we agree with some of Eon’s decisions? You think we have no criticism to give?

    It seems like it doesn't it? I know, crazy. But not just that, shooting down everyone who might have criticism as well, that's not very nice.

    Nobody is stopping you from shooting down my criticisms or praises. That’s what’s fun about this place, is everyone having a different point of view. Some think Eon kicked poor Pierce to the curb with glee like a bad DEATH WISH sequel. I think they just realized they wanted to have a clean slate and Brosnan didn’t fit in with that.

    No you're wrong, Pierce himself said he was kicked to the curb. (You mean like that?) :>

    but in all seriousness, I've heard reports saying he was asking for too much money, but I think Pierce probably felt a little strung along and didn't like being kept out of the loop as to what all their plans were.

    As an actor Pierce certainly has a flair for the dramatic!
