Thank you!
Oh yes it would be awesome. Some tropical vernacular retreat with some cool underwater diving (perhaps the new Seamaster Diver hints at something like this?), the dramatic Norwegian landscape interrupted by some great and sharp Scandinavian architecture, the ancient flavor of a place like Matera. Would be great. Even if I’m still waiting for a new Bond movie that features a breakthrough house like the Elrod one in DAF.
The great Danny Boyle should make a film with the great Emma Stone, written and produced by the great Christopher Nolan. That way, you'd surely have a ball, @PanchitoPistoles. Only that film would have nothing to do with Bond, thankfully.
I'm with you @Denbigh. My preference would be someone unknown to the masses and exotic.
I'm just saying IF CF wants these two, i wouldn't put it past him to somehow get it done.
Is it realistic? I would guess not-- and that's what makes me pause.
A true find. Like Bérénice Marlohe.
I've got no objections. If the story calls for 2 american actresses to play their roles then what is the issue? The main cast is still primarily British actors.
I fell in love as soon as I saw her on screen for the first time. Never fails to take my breath away.
I think the issue is more with novelty and discovery. Bond films have a history of giving us actors who make a great impression in the film, and then aren't really seen much afterwards, perhaps because they work mainly in foreign language fare. It gives their performance in the film more resonance because there's a freshness to it (sometimes forever if they're not seen again). To a degree, it's like seeing a Bond actor in his first Bond film, but as a one off.
With name actors, there are already expectations and even if not, there is a familiarity. Such was the case with Waltz, for instance.
I think this applies to locations as well. If it's a fresh spot that we've not seen previously, it can make quite an impression if properly lensed and filmed. We travel vicariously through these films in so many ways - they have a sense of the exotic and mysterious to them even now, with the world being so much smaller and interconnected due to technology. I think we just want to be surprised and taken somewhere unfamiliar, and unknown actors play into that.
Definitely agree with this. The potential casting of an actor or actress that you've seen in countless productions (Hollywood most of all), and constantly being exposed to one way or the other, is just…boring. I hope for some "unknowns" in B25.
I've been thinking about how the MAIN TITLES could be reinvented. We haven't had an original, inspired main title sequence since CR and the only two Bond movies that had truly good main title sequences in the past 30 years were GE and CR.
How about this idea? No graphics, just the main actors (Bond, main villain, Bond girl, hanchman, M, and maybe a few others) performing interpretive dance to the title song. I'm thinking about something like this and this.
Would you be against something like this in Bond 25?
Is it possible Matera could also double as Tunisia, alongside Cadiz? Those underground hotel pics remind me of the underground locations in the Tunisian desert that were used in the original Star Wars.
Definitely good points that I agree with! I think casting relative unknowns is a good option too. I had huge expectations for Waltz in Spectre, after his stellar performances in Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained. I guess I'm on the fence in my preference on who they get for the Bond girl roles.
I wanna know what you’re smoking and where I can get some.
I always thought you were insane. Thank you for confirming it :)
People have been known to smoke cow chips; now we know the detrimental effects they can have.
I’d have to say Quantum’s titles were the best of the Craig era, but that’s mostly for the YOLT homages in some of the imagery. Doubt we’ll get MK12 again anyway.
Kleinman back, but more along CR lines rather than SF or SP... make it colorful and vibrant.
CR features my favorite titles; I absolutely love the way the gambling imagery was used and how the reveal of Bond was handled.
