So it's just about her being a woman is it.
Oh lord, you again. Salke found Bond to exhibit toxic masculine traits. Wanted to neuter him, put on a leash. Part of the woke ideology, most white men are toxic, after all. Just turning it around. Is that difficult for you. Do you need comforting? A blankie?
Well stated @Risico007 …
Something EoN was tremendously adept at was exploring all things Bond (Fleming/film Bond), but if a film didn’t work out, they’d course correct and did it beautifully…
Certainly a guy who was a production manager, or worked in film like defloria, would know that after 60-plus years and 25 films, not every one of the pictures would be Goldfinger or TSWLM or SF… And remarkably, they’ve never had an out and out loser in their entire catalogue of 007 adventures (that’s pretty amazing).
Taking one element from the entire series, which works-out to basically three lines of one film out of 25, and saying the producers had lost their way because of “Brofeld” is pretty OTT in my opinion.
Anyways, Bezos has all the money in the world. Let’s see what the final film looks like as a whole before popping champagne. Salivating over a director who made Children of Men almost 20 years ago, hasn’t directed a film since 2018, directed a TV series, Disclaimer, that saw its tone swing wildly from scene to scene and episode to episode (Blanchett was the anchor to the series; otherwise it was a nice-looking yet narratively messy viewing experience), is setting up some viewers for disappointment. I’d rather Cuaron than Nolan, but for me, that’s not saying much.
I hope they explore several directors and bring them in for intense meetings/interviews. You’ve got the Bond series now, why, if rumours are to be believed, bank on this one director instead of interviewing all the top dogs (from Fincher to Cuaron to, I dunno, Sean Baker to The Russo Brothers to Gerwig to Corbet, to others whose reps are pitching their clients).
As far as the producers, I have far more faith in the savvy and vision of Heyman (with personal reservations), than I do in his producing partner Pascal (although she’s been in the business for decades and decades and certainly has a strong intuition). But, in the end, it’s about the entire project as a whole that I’ll judge (the final film, the crews, the heads of departments and the writers and of course, the lead actor).
In all honesty, I’m very very meh about all of it (and have been criticized for my reaction). Like anything else, like any film I see, I won’t judge on one or two attachments; I will judge it on the final film. It’s their job to bring me on side.
Otherwise, I’ll be “meh” about it til then…
Sorry, stopped reading at this point. When people say that phrase I tend to find they're not worth paying attention to.
Yeah Heyman is the one I'm more interested in as he hasn't really turned out a failure in a long time, and several top hits with excellent levels of creativity- he knows what he's doing when it comes to big moviemaking. Pascal has made some very good stuff, although with a slightly higher failure rate. Heyman's involvement has made me think this does stand a decent chance; I'm sort of nervously interested.
What I missed as well is that they're already making a film together, so this won't be their first gig as a team. It'll be interesting to see how that one goes.
That's because you're a troll narc. I'm certainly not the only one who's had it with you and your toxic behaviour.
@Benny Is there a way to block someone and not view their posts anymore?
Oh, that’s interesting, @mtm … I didn’t know they were making another film together. Sorry, what’s the name? I’m going to keep an eye out for it. That’ll be very interesting to see how that unfolds, for sure.
It's Jay Kelly with Adam Sandler and George Clooney, according to imdb anyway. Directed by Noah Baumbach, who I think Heyman produced his film Marriage Story and he wrote on Barbie too, also with Heyman.
Married to Greta Gerwig- maybe he's more likely to be involved with B26 than Cuaron is, judging by how much they've been working together! :)
Definitely intrigued. Thanks for the info!
I wonder this too
It makes perfect sense to salivate over that, even if his filmography isn't perfect or Bond-adjacent, it's not like Mendes and Fukunaga's were.
Side note, but during Spectre’s pre-production, Amy Pascal did not like the Brofeld storyline and told EoN. She was ignored. And on a lot of issues that the final film would have.
Dude, take a chill pill.
Fair enough and sorry if I stepped over the line myself …
But the films you mentioned people who were in Eon till last month were involved in a lot of those films
Debbie mcwilliams for example casted The living daylights and Casino Royale…
As for Blofeld and Bond being brothers the issue is Mendes really only knows how to direct one kind of story. Kids dealing with the sins of their parents. With Skyfall it kind of worked dealing with Bond and silva’s “mother” but in order to lure him back in they had to create family drama… again my point is if they kept spectre out of the craig films and had Oberhauser be the head of Quantum honestly people wouldnt of been that upset with it.
But for me i wouldnt throw the baby out with the bath water. For every Diamonds are forever, Moonraker, Spectre we got we also From Russia with love , Casino Royale and Goldeneye..
The only actor to have a perfect tenure in my opinion was Dalton and that is largely due to his third film not happening (bond banging a robot indeed)
It's funny that the people who always get gaslit are told to chill. Yeah, no. This thing with mtm has been going on for years on end. I want to block the guy/whatever it is and be done with it.
Bond banging a robot?!?!?................somehow I missed that in the proposals.
In The Property of a lady Bond sleeps with a female cyborg who is the main villains sex robot… look it was 1991 and T2 was huge at the box office
Tell me, Why is it ok to say toxic masculinity but not toxic feminity? Genuine Question. You make great posters but I don't know why you pick a fight with @buddyoldchap when he's saying the same thing everyone else is saying.
It's his modus operandi. People on here, including mods have called him out on it, many times throughout the years. If this forum was mine I'd have banned him ages ago. His reply to your post tells all, yet again.
/done
Felix "what happened to your girlfriend" Bond "She blew a fuse". Timothy dodged a bullet regarding that story line.
Do you need comforting? A blankie?
Condescension breeds condescension. There is no block feature on this site, so one of the only options is to just flat it ignore him instead of taking an active choice like responding to him with “wanna blankie?” as if you’re still an adolescent.
The press release firing Salke touts "The Rings of Power, Fallout, Reacher, Red One, Maxton Hall, The Idea of You, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Saltburn, Road House, Beast Games, Culpa Mia/Tuya."
Most what is considered Amazon's better "content" (ha) was greenlit by other people, before Salke. Mrs. Maisel, The Boys, Fleabag, Jack Ryan.
This has nothing to do with her gender. It has to do with her bad taste and poor management of Barbara Broccoli, to the point where Amazon had to pay an additional $1B to get Broccoli and Wilson out.
Salke also gave Waller-Bridge an $80M deal that has yielded nothing so far. I don't know if that's because Waller-Bridge is busy with other projects, but again that comes down to Salke and whatever deal she cut.
*Salke sweats profusely*
“That’s not my content! I swear!”
*Amazon glares*
“That’s right, it’s mine!”
In all seriousness, that’s one hell of a mistake to rectify if they had to spend an additional $1 Billion.
Yeah agreed, it's hard to judge those B17 drafts as films because they were just drafts. If B17 had developed from one of them it wouldn't have stayed much the same.
I mean, I can understand it. No one likes being contradicted. But I'd suggest swallowing your pride and actually listening to him, because he almost always makes sound, logical points.
