    Well I am
    disappointed. I like his Felix a lot. So the character just is not needed in this one. Some time ago, he pretty much confirmed he would be in Bond 24; a year or so ago. Anyway, I do hope he is in Bond 24. I like Felix is some Bond films and he is my favorite Felix.

    The iMax ratio version of Skyfall was shown on Sky Movies here in Blighty. It will probably be released on blu ray when Bond 24 hits.
    Well I searched and found on the other forum that it seems that Sky Movies showed it in 16:9 format, not the IMAX format, despite the use of "IMAX" in the marketing. There are not many TV out there that can display this almost square format, anyhow, and I'm afraid not much people would accept vertical bars :) Franky, I still have to read anything about this IMAX release talking about it on its artistic merits. It exists because the original captor had a large image. IMO It doesn't exist because Mendes and Deakins cared about framing the movie for it.

    This photo shows the aspect ratios of the Skyfall standard release and the Skyfall IMAX release and the true IMAX aspect ratio: https://static.imax.com/media/filebrowser/uploads/imax-aspect_ratios061912.jpg

    2.4:1 -> Skyfall as envisioned by Sam Mendes and Roger Deakins
    1.9:1 -> Skyfall IMAX aspect ratio
    1.43:1 -> The real IMAX aspect ratio (If they end up using IMAX cameras for shooting some scenes of Bond 24, those scenes will be shown in this aspect ratio in IMAX cinemas.)

    Notice how they don't use image from the movie to show the ratio aspect.

    I remember posting here a image from a making-of of the PTS.

    Mendes and Deakings image : the extra whose back is shot by the camera in front of the car, is perceived by the audience as an extra, his head is cut off the frame - he's not important to the story. IMAX image : the extra is seen in full, like a main character, the eyes of the audience look at him, there is some confusion : is it Bond reacting to the car stunt ? But why is he out of focus then ?

    Deakins : 'I had thought it would compromise the framing but the IMAX image is so 'in your face' that it seems to me the audience is only really looking at the central portion, the 2:35 we really framed for.'

    So people actually spent more money for an image the movie makers did not really care about on set in the first place, and even considered as a little problem to deal with :) But, hey, bigger is better !

    PS : I just read on a French IMAX movie forum that for scenes with CG, they simply zoomed in, because the CG was not done outside the 2:35 frame - an hint it was really a business coup, not an early choice. So yes, you actually have less image in the "IMAX version" on the sides in these scenes :) This "IMAX release" really is close to fraud IMO ! And not many people are proud of it I think.

    I agree that it's basically pointless to see a movie in an IMAX cinema if it wasn't at least partially shot with IMAX cameras (by the way, no feature film has ever been completely shot with IMAX cameras yet).

    There is a pretty good chance Bond 24 will be partially shot with IMAX cameras considering Hoytema is the DP (who used IMAX cameras on Interstellar) and considering what IMAX's CEO Rich Gelfond said back in September: "...and Bond is probably going to have either our cameras or our aspect ratio."

    The new Land Rover Discovery Sport was unveiled recently. You think it may feature in Bond 24?

    It was not unveiled today and it may, in a small way similar to LR on the last few movies.

    Didn't mean to be a prick, but it was unveiled Oct. 2nd in Paris. But that's not important. Danny boy is still Land Rover/Range Rover's brand ambassador. And judging that they personally paid him over 1 Million to reveal the new Range Rover Sport, I'm sure they have their hands in Bond 24, too. I have stated on this site before how I've wanted Craig to chase and/or run from skiiers by taking a Land Rover down a ski slope with active skiiers. Jeremy Clarkson did it on an episode of Top Gear in a Jag.

    I am not sure about the geography here - and where this Volcano is at in terms of the actual shooting locations - all i saw was Western Mexico...... could this possibly throw a wrench into filming plans? Or is it not even close?

    That would look good in a Bond film. At least we know it is not hollow.

    That's a shame. Here's hoping they won't replace him with another actor.

    I heard it was actually unveiled in the mid-'80s. You guys just don't know what you're talking about.
    That was the Discovery. The Discovery Sport was unveiled in October.

    To me, Bond 24 is sounding like a mixture of Risico and High Time to Kill.

    I do hope Jeffery is back for Bond 25; I like his Felix a lot.
    Sorry the character is not in Bond 24.

    I do enjoy the photos, as I am all for Bond 24 having a decent amount of time spent in a lovely snowy landscape. :)
