There's also the fact that almost no one would dare to say they can act better than..., no one would dare to say they can light better than..., no one would dare to say they can direct better than..., no one would dare to say they can compose better than..., no one would dare to say they can make a stunt better than... etc. But tell a better story ? Almost everyone :)
Or the Matthew Vaughan/Jane Goldman combination?
Danny Boyle even.
Sure, P&W were credited with the CR script but how much of that was Paul Haggis' efforts?
Oh well, back to literary 007 for me now.
I don't quite agree. I have a bit more confidence in Lenses Craig and P&W as a team. Logan was never my choice. The combo produced a good script for Skyfall so I haven't written anything off... keep holding on to Mendes as the helm and his talent to know and tell a good story. We want a great movie and they want a great movie... so hope they stay pumped and ready to go.. but yay finally a shooting script.
This can help you.
(Yes, Skyfall was the first Bond film to be released in IMAX cinemas but non of it was shot in the IMAX format.)
Also, @JWESTBROOK, I had a look at the summary on the very first page. There's only one thing I would remove for sure from the list, that's the "crazy rumor" about Charlotte Rampling. In fact, it wasn't even a rumor, it was from a parody website who keeps on using "XXX is the next Bond girl" template to create automatically their false reports.
Ie : http://en.mediamass.net/search?q="next+Bond+girl"
So it's an Internet artefact : some randomly generated paper is taken by Google's algorithms as "news", but no one actually wrote it based on an actual rumor.
For instance :

Is it safe to say that the situation is not that dire anymore?
For the future keep in mind you can simply edit your post.. even on mobile.
And @Suivez_ce_parachute , I've already stated no character deaths will be mentioned. I know it was just an example though, but if it is the promotional material it is okay to discuss. So Tanner dying in this case would be fine. The original rumors would be spoiler tagged and once it was revealed in the trailer and plot synopsis as Bonds motivation it would be open game.

To sum up the article, the Australian filmmaker Jason Roberts, currently living on Svalbard, confirmed to the newspaper that the Bond producers were considering the island group as a possible filming location. They requested image material, but later chose to use the Austrian alps.
Roberts tells that the producers were looking for a location fitting Svalbard, but recent script changes (Purvis and Wade?), made Svalbard unsuitable.
Austria has snow and will be quite lovely. Norway would have been special.
The thing I dont get with that is what exactly are VW getting out of that mention which is surely costing them millions?
I can understand that Aston, Bollinger and Heineken pay top dollar because they can show shots from the film of Bond looking cool using their products but what can VW say after that?
'When James Bond wants to knock some cars off a train and write them off whilst his companion appallingly delivers an awful line his car of choice is a VW'? Why is that going to sell more Beetles? Is the Bond association really so good for your brand that even having him smashing your product up is sufficient to have it fly off the shelves?
I'd like to know what changes and why they make Norway a no-go. Austria seems to be firming up, which is great, as long as good use is made of the snow.
Now, what are your sources for Hoyte van Hontema being the DOP of Bond 24 ? I don't want a name, just a way. Me, you could guess from various not so subtle hints that it was through the contacts I had in the VFX industry. And well, there were French previz artists working on Skyfall, I can prove that if I had too, but I'm afraid they'll be considered as leakers by some so it's a very dangerous game to play and I won't give names here :) I could also give papers with my name on it to prove I worked in that field a few years ago, but I'd have to give my name too :)
Hoyte van Hontema's future is empty on IMDB, is that your "source" ?
Sorry to be harsh, but it's a bit like the Scandinavia nonsense a few hours ago : a few people who read Wikipedia for 5 seconds claim to know more than someone who actually live in this part the world. Here, we've got a few persons who really worked on a movie set (I'm far from being the only one, and me, well I probably will never work again there), but their voice is lost because instead we have to deal with know-it-all who seem to believe that everything they hear on Blu-Ray extras is true. Remove your pink glasses...
No further information about why Norway was rejected is given in the article, but a second source tells that not all the scenes are confirmed for Austria, and that there's still work being done to get some filming in Norway.
Svalbard would be bloody freezing, so that may also have something to do with it. As a group of islands they're way up north. They may get a little done there, if only second unit work.
At last, to us, things are starting to take shape. Now, what about Morocco?
I'd still love some scenes filmed in Norway, even if not major. Hoping that can be arranged somehow.
Is this a serious question? I was not simply speculating when i said Hoytema is the cinematographer of Bond 24.
Sources? If you have sources and are privy to info, that's great and thanks for sharing. If you cannot name your sources, that is understandable. Shouldn't be something to get touchy about, really.
He has stated earlier he can not site his sources, but I know another member on the forum had also caught wind that Hoytema was primed for the DOP gig, so it's more than wishful thinking.
Very good (potential) news! :D
