Back to the Indie nobody conversation now, I guess. Oh, and Arnold.
IMDb "Pro" better get a slap on the wrist now. This will cause a sh*tstorm on twitter no doubt.
The issue with Nolan is that he is a Spielberg, something Mendes never was. The picture becomes a Chris Nolan film, as well as a James Bond film. The expectation would be phenomenal. So much so, imo, that it's almost impossible to realise. The hype should be about the villain, the women, the action, the music... I know that sounds trite but it's true. Make it about the director (particularly the Spielberg of his generation) and you're not under the magnifying glass, you're under the microscope.
You're in safe hands, my friend.
He's a class act, but he won't be making B25.
I always believe each new film will be the best. I guess we all do. The general consensus here, I would say, pitches SP as a disappointment and they always seem to bounce back in those situations.
Time to stop any bloody story arcs,which it would be if Craig came back.
CraigBond's story arc has been completed,it was a totally farewell ending...put Blofeld on ice and move on !!!!
I think a satisfying Craig film is achievable. I've about three versions in my head. I can understand your point of view, though.
True. And despite how many Craig devotees insist there is still more story to tell, I think the audience was satisfied, or perhaps relieved that it ended the way it did. Better than some of the other tenures, they avoided the complete strikeout at the end. I repeat again, it could have ended much worse!
Now is the time to think to the future.
Or will she stick with her proven thoroughbred? Will the distribution deal influence the decision? All likely imho.
It's so difficult to know for sure. Are EON cooly and calmly executing some 4D chess game, placing these red herrings and false flags in order to fool all of us? Or are assisstants currently running through corriders, sending faxs and answering calls while Barbara frantically tries to get something together?
Bare in mind that they were in talks with that Chinese company to distribute, and that was quite a while ago. You have to believe that the plan, back then, was to make a Craig finale film for 2018. However, is that still the goal? And is it still attainable?
We're really reaching an interesting time now, because in the next few months something has got to give - it's that simple. An announcement could come tomorrow for all we know.
He has made 4 films that can only add to the Bond legacy,its time to start again with a new production company,director,composer,007....
I hope he does another if only because that would be the shittest send off ever. Worst bit of SP for me. No idea what Mendes was thinking with that scene. It's appallingly directed and the only moment in the entire series where I've groaned when the Bond theme is played.
Which one?
When was the last time you were satisfied with a Bond actors last film, may I ask? They are all considered underwhelming. LTK has a hardcore fanbase, but is largely forgotten about by your average Joe.
The last scenes of Bond actors are even worse. Did Moore in the shower have you hollering and standing ovation as the credits rolled?
Its far easier to simply accept what you see as underwhelming, in the knowledge that you cannot change it. Creating an addendum to the existing story, just so you can end it in a more satisfying way is never the right reason to begin a creative project.
It also plays into the will he won't he gossip (in terms of returning) which also followed Bale/Nolan post-TDKR for about a year.
That's not what I'm saying. I was being facetious. I don't actually want a film to be made purely to make amends for that cack-handed ending. I just believe a decent Craig film can be made.
Yes, its a respectable ending. Not embarrassing like some of the others.
