    Something's coming on Wednesday. ;)


    You naughty naughty little Brazilian BOY :D :-O :)) !

    --> Do we get the title song artist and title song reveal PLUS a 6th videoblog about the Bond music ??

    --> Or will we get another theatrical trailer (the 4th official trailer, after one teaser trailer, one TV trailer and one 1st full theatrical trailer) ??

    Can tell you right now that it's too soon for the final trailer. If they do release it - it should be at the end of the month, with cinema release with Sony's The Walk.

    I'll keep my excitement contained until Wednesday is good enough to justify me getting giddy.

    It's a big deal for us, but no, it's not the title artist announcement yet.

    Oh Marketto you never fail to make me smile! :D Whatever it is do you have a release time?

    Gotta be new poster(s) - there has to be some kind of promo released sooner rather than later as the trail is getting cold since the last trailer?

    The point is, Craig is an infinitely better actor than Brosnan and brings credibility to the role. As such, as crippled a movie as QoS was, Craig was the best thing about it. He brings more to the screen than just action in his Bond movies. If Brosnan was put in any of the 3 Craig movies he would have ended up making Lazenby look like Marlon freaking Brando by comparison. If I want to watch a spy movie about "Mr.Funny man" then I'll watch the hijinks of Johnny English. Based on some of your posts in assessing certain scenes, amongst other things, you've also displayed your all too apparent inability to acknowledge subtlety and nuances when they've been presented.

    I agree, if you simply would replace Craig with Brosnan, Brosnan would fail, respectively the movies wouldn't work.
    But it works the other way around too.
    Craig in Brosnan movies or even Moore movies would fail miserably as well.

    Why do I fail to acknowledge subtlety and nuances?
    Do any of the Craig defenders (I don't mean that term negatively) acknowledge the great acting of Brosnan in TWINE??
    Was there no subtlety in Brosnan's acting in the Elektra sequence where he finally shoots her and then mourns her?

    The tenor is always, Brosnan was bad, Craig is great. (I don't mean necessarily you).
    That's one reason I will always defend Brosnan when he gets compared to Craig.

    Funny he never gets compared to Moore, Dalton or Connery. Speaks volumes if you ask me.

    Umm, first of all, Craig defenders? Aside from Qos, there isn't really much about Craig needing defending (you're really not gonna like that one are you haha). Secondly, I compare Craig to all of the actors all of the time. Others do it all the time too. I hear Craig vs Dalton and Craig vs Connery all the time

    Not sure if this was posted but - new interview with Craig: http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/film-tv/8782/daniel-craig-interview/
    There has been much speculation that Spectre will be Craig’s last film as Bond. I thought he’d signed on for two more after Skyfall, meaning there would be at least one more after Spectre.

    “I don’t know,” he says. He really doesn’t know? “I really don’t know. Honestly. I’m not trying to be coy. At the moment I can’t even conceive it.”

    Would he at least like to do another one? “At this moment, no. I have a life and I’ve got to get on with it a bit. But we’ll see.”

    Interesting. If the producers desperately want to keep him for another film, I don't think we should rule out a two year gap. It seems as if he feels he's getting too old to perform his own stunts and ultimately, play the role.

    It's probably going to come down to how well SP is received (critically, because I think that's probably what he cares about). If it's not that well received, then he may have something to prove and want to do another.......or just leave thinking he's done what he can and can go out relatively on top. Possible studio changes may also have impacted his noncommittal comments.

    Few more interesting bits:
    “We did have the conversation: it’s got to be bigger and better,” Craig says. “The stunts, the action, every department.” He holds out his palm, flat. It’s shaking. “I’m all jangly at the moment because it’s over. Sam has to lock the picture off for 7 September, so he’s got fuck-all time, basically. That’s it. Can’t go back and do it again. Tough shit.”

    He doesn’t want to jinx it but, “I feel like we’ve all done our absolute fucking best and that’s a good feeling. Whether that makes a better movie we’ll see.”
    Is the “classic Bond” ethos still in place, I wonder? “Times 10!” Craig almost shouts, momentarily revelling in his role as hype man. He repeats it when I laugh, holding his beer in the air. “It’s Skyfall times 10!”

    And that is a point he is keen to make. For all the soul searching, he says, Spectre is “a celebration of all that’s Bond”. There is a new supercar, the Aston Martin DB10. There are beautiful women, played by the va-va-voom Italian bombshell Monica Bellucci and the kittenish Léa Seydoux. There are signature set pieces: a thrilling opening in Mexico City; a car chase through Rome; action sequences in the Austrian Alps, in Tangier and in London. There’s a thuggish henchman (the first of Craig-era Bond) played by the former wrestler Dave Bautista. And there’s an evil megalomaniac, played by the great Christoph Waltz, devilish star of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained.
    In other words, Craig’s initial reluctance to let Bond’s backstory bleed into Spectre – and to cut back on the angst in favour of, as he puts it to me, “more Moore”, invoking the jollity of Roger Moore-era Bond – didn’t survive much past the first script meeting. “I think I’d just got it into my head that flamboyance was the way forward and fuck it, nothing touched him. But as we got into the story and rooted out the connections, they were too good to leave alone.”
    I’d read that Spectre was the first part of two films. “I don’t think so,” says Craig. (Then again: never trust a spy.) In fact, he says, if it has any relation to other Bond films, it’s as the denouement to the story that began with Casino: Bond’s determination to confront his past and figure out his place in the world, and MI6’s place in the world, and whether he might be able to fashion a life away from all that. “I think we can safely say we’ve squared all those circles,” Craig says.

    I've always felt DC was a smart and astute fellow, and this confirms it.

    I think that quote and Craig saying that SPECTRE is the denoument of the story that began in CR sells it more than anything else - it's probably his last film. Add the studio/distributor changes on top....

    In fairness, this Dark Knight Trilogy-esque run has been really great, from the origins and emotional vulnerability of CR and QoS, to slowly transitioning to classic Bond with SF and SP - one interconnected story: I'm really liking this approach.

    It is too soon for him to make a final decision, I feel.
    If SPECTRE wraps up the entire Blofeld/SPECTRE story, completely fini, I would honestly be surprised. Because from a purely business, box office standpoint surely this film plus one more to finish off Blofeld (whoever that turns out to be, whenever he is introduced) makes more sense.

    I think Daniel Craig could definitely do one more Bond film, but then that would be the perfect time for him to step down. I hope he does one more after SPECTRE.

    I don't count what he or anyone say now about that, because as we all know people's feelings may be strong but also change after a year.

    It could wrap up the Blofeld/SPECTRE story in Craig's timeline. No harm for them to reintroduce a new SPECTRE with a new actor as Blofeld for the next Bond.

    I would agree with you - one more film would also work swimmingly. But from what Craig is saying - this is more of a conclusion than a beginning.

    I'm with you. It'd be a shame if they introduced Blofeld/Spectre figurehead, and then didn't have Daniel Craig see it through.

    I believe he really feels that, yes. But things can change.
    I'd like for Craig to be the Bond that finishes off Blofeld. That would be more satisfying for me. They could still carry SPECTRE onward for the next new Bond actor anyway.
    I don't think I'd like to see a different actor play Blofeld with a new Bond. I'd at least want the same actor playing Blofeld till the character is really killed off.

    Like I said, for the next Bond actor they will most certainly introduce a new Blofeld/SPECTRE, regardless of what happens in this film or the next Craig one. I don't think, in fact, they'll carry on with any cast/story arc elements from the Craig films for the next actor: it'll be a new Bond, new M, Q, Tanner, Moneypenny, Blofeld etc etc etc.....

    Wasn't DC quoted as being shattered after SF and adamant that was it. No more Now after completion of filming it isn't the best moment to suggest doing it all over again!! Wait and see.

    There's a lot of effing and jeffing from DC in these interview snippets. Why does he have to come over all crass and cheap?

    wow I just read esquire... :( god I hope this isn't the end. I mean isn't he contracted for a 5th one.

    It is inconceivable to me that Waltz would have taken on the role in this film if he were not Blofeld. And from what we saw of the pics of the final scenes in London, the spots on his face are a total give away. There is the strong possibility he is not directly revealed as Blofeld, except for his final scene and his scared face. Everyone will know what it means. So Waltz is very likely going to do B25 as I would think Lea too. It is a continuing story as much as EON and the actors deny it. And it would be strange to have both of them in B25 continuing the story without Craig. It obviously can happen, but as some posted, Craig is probably waiting to see how well SP is received before he makes a final decision about one more film.

    That all depends whether Craig will continue on for B25. If he doesn't, well bye bye Lea and Waltz too.

    I can only say this to Daniel Craig: "Please, do one more film after "SPECTRE". This time a full celebration of the character James Bond 007. Bond going out on a plain, solid mission, without too much background history, and again slightly more frivolous and funny."

    In any case, please do a 5th! We need you! And so does England!

    Agreed. It doesn't necessarily need to continue. It could be left open ended. In this way, the Craig era sort of 'bleeds' into the Connery/Lazenby universe (of course timelines are different, but you hopefully get my point)....

    Additionally, I can't see someone like Waltz or Seydoux doing a sequel. They've got other things to do with their career.

    Funny you word it like that because if you read the interview, Craig does say that "For all the soul searching, he says, Spectre is “a celebration of all that’s Bond”".

    And I'll be honest with you, in today's movie climate, a straight laced plain mission film with very little about the character itself won't really work well? I think SPECTRE will nail that balance well, deliver a classic Bond story with all the character sensibilities required of modern blockbusters.

    I wonder why there is not more visible marketing. It's only 2 months till Spectre opens in most parts of the world.
    If I compare it to other franchises we already should long have character posters, a second trailer (3rd if you count in the teaser), proper movie posters at the cinema.
    But there is nothing at all.

    Maybe EON thinks Spectre will be an easy sell anyway and doesn't need the expensive marketing treatment? Or are they just lazy or even incapable?
    Is post-production making problems?

    Some of you may have insights to this, please do tell ;)
