I mean, he’s likely not a contender so he’s got nothing to lose by saying this.
Ha !
Mr. Egerton is terrific, but, not a Bond, physically.
As for "opening the Prosecco" when a new Bond actor is announced, half the folks here would want to drink the Prosecco, and half would want to smash the bottle and go ballistic with the sharp remnant. The other half - yeah, I know - would be neither. Just feeling their stomach turn slowly, uttering "I've got a bad feeling about this..." Hopefully, the producers will find someone so terrific for the role that the largest half - yeah, I know - would be the celebrating one.
I'm assuming Egerton is just parroting the ATJ rumours we all read over the last few months.
I'd be surprised if EON have cast their man, surely we'd have more concrete rumours about it than the ATJ stuff
Wasn’t Sam Mendes unofficially attached to SKYFALL for nearly a year before he was officially announced?
Can you imagine? Actually, it could be kind of fabulous.
The Pacino rumor was during the lead up to QUANTUM.
I wouldn't hold my breath. I think it'll be a surprise.
Any announcement on the new Bond actor with excite the general public. It will be huge news, whoever it will be. Trying to pretend otherwise because ATJ is not your particular choice (if he is chosen), is silly to pretend otherwise.
The way things are going, it looks like no one is Eon's choice, and won't change anytime soon.
If the Nolan rumours end up being true then the hype train would be unstoppable regardless of who plays Bond.
What are the Nolan rumours? Sorry, I've been a bit off the grid.
'I should naturally have done a lot of Bond research... I didn't do a huge amount of research for it,'
'I'm not very good at homework. That says a lot. Sometimes it is frustrating when you say, "I think this is genius," and they are like, "Next time."'
'It is fun playing in someone else's sandpit for a while as you learn stuff,' she added. 'I certainly learned what my Bond film would be like.
'I learned how mine might have been slightly too camp. A bit misogynistic really. Daniel [Craig] knows that character better than anyone"
Firstly, I know we as fans care too much about the series, but these sort of quotes frustrate me. How do you get to write for a prestigious series like Bond and not care enough to do your homework.
Honestly you could tell watching the scenes PWB had a hand in writing (M scene, Blofeld, Cuba scenes, in particular) because the interactions were so jarring between characters, they felt like entirely different characters.
So going forwards I hope EON employ writers who care enough to do their homework, not just use these iconic characters to tell the stories they choose.
Anyway, this is why I’m generally fine with P&W. Both have said that they’ve read and seem to understand the Fleming novels. They seem interested in keeping those roots to the literary series alive. Not saying one needs to be a fan of Bond in order to write for the series (sometimes it’s better if there’s that objectivity when approaching these stories) but some thought/‘homework’ is ideal.
That kind of worries me, with her and Indiana Jones. I don’t think she’s writing the script (as far as we know), but she could have the power to write and change her lines.
As for P & W, I still think a one film break wouldn’t hurt. Give them time to breathe and TRULY recharge. As I said before, one of the saddest things about DC’s run is that he didn’t get a screenplay without them, which is as sad as John Glenn directing a 3rd TD movie.
I disagree with that statement.....
I have no idea what scenes PWB wrote. Is that information available? If I thought the DC series was the best written in the history of the series, I would rave on about P&W. But I don't think that. After CR the films were good, but not among my favorites. I would like to see new writers for the next Bond. That P&W know their man doesn't mean much to me. So they've read the books and done several screenplays. They're not the only talents in the writing industry. I'd like to see this series move forward minus P&W.
It's quite alarming, to be honest. Lord knows that like every James Bond fan around the world, I was really looking forward to NTTD. But the final film? Hmmmm. Although, I don't blame PWB. It's the director's fault. A director sees the final film and decides what stays and what leaves. Just like how John Glen removed the flying carpet scene from TLD, after it was filmed. Even if TLD had lighter moments too, Glen wisely felt the flying carpet would have made it too much.
