No it was Jon Favreau. The guy who did Iron Man (good film actually)
He was producer together with Spielberg and Brian Gazer.
He did direct it aswell tho
Plus Harrison Ford just annoys me these days. He's past it.
Jesus, no !
And I thought Cowboys&Aliens was a really fun flick.
Well, he is partly responsible for it...
Any way, perhaps we should get back on topic...
The point being that Dalton was obviously a genius decades ahead of his time.
I guess... still I quite liked the film. Really fun, mindless entertainement.
Favreau - director
Howard, Spielberg, Gazer - producer
Random comparison I know, but just wanted to underline that one person's dull is another's dynamite.
I appreciate where the criticisms are coming from with Dalton. He's a touch worthy about the whole role and could have been a bit more gung ho, but TLD is the last Bond movie that feels like a true part of the franchise, and Tim does a solid job.
TLD is for me a solid film - if a little bland at times.
His northern accent does come through in LTK sometimes too. "Why don't you wait until you're aasked"
Nowadays he sounds a bit American.
In regard to GE I don't think Dalton necessarily needed to be the lead. GE was about "James Bond the legend" hence any actor could have played the lead. Also, I might be wrong, but I really don't think GE starring Dalton would have set the world on fire in 1995 despite the long gap. Connery, Moore, Brosnan and Craig were all more popular than Dalton by the time their third films came along.
What Craig did in the torture scene was acting. Pure powerhouse acting. One of the best performances of any actor in the role.
They got "any" actor. Pierce Brosnan. Straight out of the telephone directory.
Really? I thought he Dalton just a washed up old has-been post-Bond doing utter dross. I'm aware that he was well regarded for his theatre and TV work prior to taking on Bond. But what's he done since? Total cr*p, I believe.
eh?
Well his peak was probably his stage career in the 70s. Since then he's done stuff in the US (a tv series called Chuck I believe though I've never seen it).I'd have thought he would have done a few more things on stage but evidently not according to IMDB and Wikipedia. He was also at the John Barry tribute concert I went to last year.
Extremely bad acting you mean. IMO Craig in CR made one of the worst Bond perfomance of the franchise... Heck the torture scene made Halle Berry in DAD pass for Oscar-worthy material... I think I prefer Craig's constant pouting than his appalling behaviour during the torture.
Really?? I know he pouts a lot but I thought his performance in Royale particularly was great. As for Halle Berry - urgh!!!!
If you think Craig not acting in CR, what do you call for Moore performance DC? what you call "extremly bad acting" give him BAFTA nominations,
IHMO the actor that never acting was Roger MOORE my friend, he just show up to the camera, and he NEVER doing his own stunts except when his doing his famously unique clown face in OP
I've got used to it now though.
maybe the definition of acting according sir DaltonCraig007 is different with the rest of us (or maybe just different with me)
