Jane Goldman maybe, Vaughn would make a terrible Bond movie.
This looks frickin' incredible :)
Anyway, trailer looks pretty cool. I am a little afraid they may go too over the top like they did with Golden Circle, but I'm still excited to see what they do in this time period.
Ralph Fiennes is one of the best actors of all time. He's done it all and he's been in many of my favourite films. Man's a living legend. He's got two oscars and six baftas. Nah, I think he gets the praise he deserves ;) And rightfully so. Also, I do like him as a director as well. And back in the day, I was one of his supporters as the next Bond. Still think he'd have done a stellar job.
Bond is back, Kingsman seems to have corrected its course, even the last Mission Impossible film was really good. Good time for the genre. All we need is Bourne to make another comeback and we'd be in a golden age.
It also seems inevitable that Fiennes' performance here will be compared to NTTD; hopefully he brings the goods in both.
Well, I actually agree.
He's suffering what Jeremy Irons and many greats suffered. Of course, if one has an actual castle, even if a salmon-coloured one, that eases the pain :) - I'm referring to Irons. Fiennes probably just has a small fortress.
This is rather lovely if you're a fan (as I am):
Me too.
He is my Favorite actor I remember when I saw him in SF couldn't get more excited.
Yes please
Ooh, nah, no thank you. Don't get the love for that film at all personally. My attitude with spy films is they should do something to differentiate themselves from the pack. Bond is the original and the best. Even if it he isn't winning the league every year he'll always be in the prem. Bourne created and the perfected the gritty and real approach. Kingsman has the violence and self awareness, Bond meets Tarantino. And MI right now has the big stunts (it should also have the team dynamic to set itself apart but that's never really been at the forefront because they cast Tom Cruise).
UNCLE just didn't have anything like that for me. Nothing new or original. Just a pastiche, and not a very good one, which had me wondering why I was watching it when I could just watch a real 60s Bond film, with Sean Connery instead of two blocks of wood. I guess you could say there's the buddy movie aspect but Kingsman (Firth/Egerton) and MI (Cruise/Rhames or Cruise/Pegg) arguably already do that and do it better. Love Guy Ritchie but I'm really not surprised it flopped. Would much rather he make Rock n Rolla 2.
If we're doing sequels to 2015 spy movies then I'd even rather a sequel to Spy than UNCLE, that was a surprisingly fun film. Or a spinoff about Jason Statham's character.
I was pleasantly surprised by UNCLE having the flavour of a 60 Italian movie, down to the camerawork and music. I wasn't expecting that at all and it's not something I've seen other Hollywood movies do. That made it interesting to me.
The soundtrack is amazing, and so are the ladies, for sure. It's quite a stylish affair. And the last time I had fun watching a more recent spy flick.
I'm still not sold to be honest. He's not a great screen presence I'd say; not the worst I've seen, but I think we dodged a bullet!
That scene in the truck with the Chianti and the sandwich was priceless, though. So were some moves of his. I still find him wooden, a lot actually. He had to lose a couple of layers of muscles first and someone would have to teach him how to walk without seeming like a wall.
Cannot wait The King's Man. Definitely looks like a return to form for the Kingsman franchise.
Lots of great scenes. "Only my mother calls me Napoleon", "C02 laser", ... But yes, we should take this to the proper thread.
About KM.
It's already looking like the best film of the bunch. Too bad Colin Firth won't be a part of this, it being a prequel and all. But Ralph Fiennes more than makes up for that. Also...Gemma! :)
Is this Disney getting nervous over what to do with Kingsman? It's been pushed back nearly a year now!
