I do accept he is the current 007, I just don't like his take on Bond. but I hope Skyfall and his 2 last films will be great, and then in 2018/2019 Bond #7 will arrive, and Craig fans will start bashing the heck out of the new guy, as pay back to what happened to their Craig boy in 2005/2006.
Im not as superficial as the bashers and will not hate an actor for his hair color (still maybe the single stupidest gripe over a casting choice I've ever heard). I'll wait until his first film and pass judgement then. The only Bond I bash is Brosnan for taking the series backwards, adding nothing new, and making Bond a nostolgia act for 10 years.
That is the most likely number of films he will do. Still, that would be the 3rd longest tenure.
I wasn't referring to them. Im referring to the people that are constantly making things up or taking half-truths and making them fact to believe that Craig's days are numbered. You'd think that as Bond fans they'd try to be alittle positive. Hell I went into DAD with a positive attitude hoping that aslong as it was better than TWINE I'd be happy.
It'd be the 3rd longest tenure as far as films go. But as far as years go it'd be the second longest behind Sir Roger Moore.
No. It's good news EON are planning far ahead. I don't think it's fair to say that is premature.
Many times you hear of a film be 're-written' in pre-production. Usually preliminary writers are chosen to draft out ideas, and then other writers usually are hired to finish the script off.
Most of the time it's simply because the writer doesn't want to change something or isn't interested anymore (ala Skyfall's script).
I, for one, hope Logan returns if Skyfall is good. Not successful, but good.
In an article from last October, yes.
Yes, I think 5 is about right considering Craig's age. He's said he'll do a 4th for sure and would be around 50 or not far off should he do a 5th.
As for myself, I will miss him in the role but I learned long ago after watching my cinematic hero leave the role that the actor will change. Whoever the new guy will one day be, will be treated by myself with an open mind and heart. I made a big mistake being one of those who judged Craig on hair color, it was stupid and wrong of me or any other true Bond fan to do that and I have learned my lesson.
Cheers samuel, i thought so. I am glad of the forward planning and welcome it.
I never remotely understood the hair colour problem that people had with Craig.
Personally, after Brosnan I felt the only way was up and having seen DC in Layer Cake I was always confident he'd turn in a decent performance. I think he's a solid Bond. Not my favourite by a long shot, but not at all bad. However, his movies (so far) do not quite hit the spot for me. They're a step in the right direction but not the finished article. CR was overlong and slightly dull in parts and QoS suffered by comparison with the Bourne movies that it was too obviously apeing. Fingers crossed that with SF they really nail it.
And yes, my money is on DC doing 4 or 5 before bowing out.
The overuse of the Db5 is a symptom of the confusion and lackmof confidence at EON. They keep on bringimg it back to stress the heritage and paper over the cracks in script and quality.
that said Purvis Wade and Logan sounds fine to me.
though maybe Purvis Wade and Goyer will be the writing team one can hope.... I like Goyer...
Yeah, P & W do seem to have a good knowledge of the Bond character but their dialogue in the past has been iffy. Having a third writer to intervene and do polishes is always a good idea. I wonder how much of their work remains in the final script.
I know that for DAD and QoS, much of their work didn't get to the film. But in the other movies, i think that pretty much is their work.
Interesting, thanks. In the case of DAD, atleast some of it was Tamahori's fault. The DAD novelisation was definitely better than the film. I wonder how much of P & W's work was in the book. As for QOS, god knows what happened there. Anything would have been better than that mess of a film. It's lucky Craig and other good actors carried it otherwise the movie could have been a disaster. If it hadn't have been a Bond film then there would have been trouble. Eon can't have been happy at all with P & W's work on QOS. There was Haggis, he went on strike, then Forster had someone else do a bit of writing, and even Craig did some writing. This can't have been good for P & W's egos.
I'm glad P & W are being kept as they write interesting stories and know the character.
Well the problem was that Forster and Haggis started From scratch. So not much of P&Ws work came to the actual film because Forster didn't like it.
