@DaltonCraig007 6 years already?? Seriously.
Sorry.
So we are officially underway with filming, this is a historic moment as the work of the 50th anniversary film gets moving, it will be interesting to see what they can put together. There is a lot of hype and expectation for next years release and from what I've read on here I don't think viewers will be disappointed by the end product with the release in a years time.
This could well be the Grand Daddy of all Bond movies
combined with the names of Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem a and Ralph Fiennes for BOND?
Seriously though, I'm excited about this. Wonderful names and finally, yes FINALLY, we have another Bond rolling. Remember though, there's something about the number 23 that tends to cast a dark evil over things. :P
With people like Roger Deakins on board this can only make things even better.
I lift a martini glass to all concerned. =D>
It feels like one long advent in the run up to Christmas. Or something... ;)
Dr No's budget was $1 million
Christopher Walken was the first Oscar winning actor to appear in one (after his win)
Now we have had Halle Berry, Jarvier Bardem, Judi Dench who is well respected in the film world and now a kick ass director like Sam Mendies. Bond has come a long way. Credit this to the production team and the longivity.
When the MGM financial problems were dealt with and a new Bond movie was scheduled for 2012, I was relieved.
When it was announced that Sam Mendes was announced as the 23rd Bond Director, I was psyched; directed top movies including American Beauty and Road to Perdition.
Though I have to admit that now I am a little pessimistic following the much criticised Quantum of Solace production.
I have my concerns regarding some of the casting, and hope that the script is much better than QOS.
Personally, I believe Skyfall is not a great film title. I hope that I am proved wrong and Skyfall truly will be "better than Casino Royale" - doubtful.
though I'm excited for a different reason entirely we know next to nothing about skyfall and that is kinda cool. I wonder how long Sam can keep a lid on this?
In other words the script for SF really has to be as good as Craig, Mendes and others tell us it is. Without a good script the best cast in the world can do nothing.
Having said that, like others here I am anticipating this to be a very good Bond film. I also hope they stick to a 2 year cycle for a while just to ensure Craig is young enough to continue for the foreseeable future.
