    I publish once in a while, and I'd disagree. I don't think the problem is 'positivity', per se, but newsworthiness. This is a "dog bites man" vs. "man bites dog" situation.

    "Bond fans support Bond Movie on Bond Website" is not news, and it wouldn't be published by an editor who had a regular slate on his hands. Perhaps there's a fresh angle to be taken on this, or someone could use this as a starting point for a thoughtful essay on tabloid culture or something. But on the surface of it . . . there's nothing there.
    Look, I understand and agree that the tabloids are being ridiculous and vicious against this movie, but the idea that this is some sort of crime being committed that we need to take a stand on is exaggerated as well.

    The world is not going to end because the latest James Bond movie is a target of fake news.

    At the end of the day, if the film is great, we (and the filmmakers) have the last laugh.

    Wasn't arguing against you and I would find it hard to do it now. Agreed on all accounts, @HalfOfEverything. Sorry if I used your rather well written post to expand on the subject in a critical way. It was meant to be directed to the topic itself, not your comments on it. Cheers.

    Quite alright :) and I fully respect your enthusiasm for the franchise :)

    A lot of numbers got thrown around, but ultimately, nothing much was said. The first comment about that article sums up my reaction to it.

    I figure that's forgivable, in the big scheme of things, as a typo. The bigger sin of the article, it seems to me, is that it doesn't have a bloody point.

    Surprised at the lack of clapperboards this time around. Usually, we'd have seen a couple more by now.

    I think like someone on this thread before? If you get a lot of them you could piece the whole sequence of the movie together?

    James Bond 25 bosses have hired an intimacy coach to help Daniel Craig and Ana De Armas with sex scenes
    https://thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/9109203/james-bond-25-coach-daniel-craig-ana-de-armas

    I can exclusively reveal that bosses have for the first time employed an intimacy coach to make sure the actors feel comfortable during sex scenes.

    A film insider said: “Producer Barbara Broccoli and her team are going all out to bring Bond up to speed. It’s all changed in the #MeToo era and they’re going to extra lengths to make sure all the stars are getting the support they need on set, including during some of the more risqué sex scenes.

    “An intimacy coordinator is now on set during those scenes and is working with Daniel Craig and new Bond girl Ana De Armas to run through the script and make sure they feel comfortable. It’s really progressive and is a step in the right direction – not just for Bond but the industry as a whole.”

    Intimacy coordinators are a relatively new thing. They were used during production of the second season of The Deuce, which takes place in the porn industry during the late seventies and was released a year ago. Basically, they're like stunt coordinators but for sex or nude scenes. They're also not there to tone down the sex or the nudity, but to make sure that the cast is comfortable while shooting this. They act like a middle person between an actor and the director, while when conversation takes place between an actor and the director or the producer, it's more often biased. Having somebody independent makes it easier to have a real talk.
    Actually, one the latest scandals in the industry was about the TV show SMILF, which was written and produced by a woman, whom an actress accused of bullying, as she made several times last minute changes to her sex scenes, turning them into something more humiliating.

    It's unlikely that an intimacy coach will affect anything on something PG-13 like Bond, it's more about adhering to new standards.

    And we know that Bond will get laid with somebody else than Madeleine.

    Yeah, I like seeing the clappers, but prefer not to analyze what scene goes where.

    This is a good laugh an intimacy coordinator? I guess there isn't anything wrong with being extra careful :)) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7047405/amp/Daniel-Craig-Ana-Armas-provided-intimacy-coordinator-James-Bond-25.html

    I mean the ‘me too’ angle is pathetic.....it’s called acting. But on a plus point it probably means Madeline Swann will be killed off to allow 007 to ‘do’ other things!

    Intimacy coordinators/choreographers are quite common these days. They help try and make these types of scenes convincing.

    Being convincing is what the actors are paid extremely high wages to do IMO.

    Steady, mate - this is a 9-figure operation. The 'coordinators' are there to protect everyone from harm, or liability, and make sure nothing dodgy is afoot. It could stop some actual abuse or even just the appearance of it, the latter of which alone could cost the series a lot of money (or worse, reputation).

    Smart move, all considered; just ask Weinstein (or anyone who had the misfortune of auditioning for him).

    Is anyone else not getting notifications for new posts in this thread? It always looks like there’s no new posts from the main page but when I click on it there’s multiple new posts from today. The forum acts like I’ve already read them all.

    Yep same thing here. Not sure what’s going on. It seems to be only for this particular thread.

    Regarding Bond's relationship with Madeleine, maybe they will separate due to Bond having to have sex with other women in the line of duty (of course).

    Rather than killing her, which would be repetitive and cliche. And the M.:I. franchise already provided one alternative to this plot possibility.

    Also, of course tabloids will make stuff up - that's what tabloids do. Don't most people read tabloid stuff knowing that they're tabloids, being the main reason they read them in the first place?

    Especially considering how weak the Bond 25 announcement was (no title, not much of anything besides casting). The imaginary stuff they come up with ends up being free publicity in this context.

    It's not like the producers will be losing Bond fans anytime soon.

    Aston Martin has just posted this. While it does not say whether or not it will be featured in Bond 25, I strongly think it will be. Cool car, sure, but that colour...

    The tweet is in reference to a collaboration with EON to commemorate the 50th anniversary of OHMSS by building a special edition Superleggera (designed to match the color of Bond's Aston from that film).

    I'm having the same problem too. It's a forum glitch apparently.

    Is there another thread on the board with 75k+ comments? Might be due to size.

    Hope Daniel a speedy recovery- not to push it too much too soon. So far the tabloids have been accurate :0

    Found this, by upholsterer/furnisher Kirsty Lockwood at Pinewood

    "When you have to make new foam look old for the set." #bond25 #jamesbond



    Also, probably looking too much into things here, but over a year ago it seems she upholstered the seats on what appears to be a 1980s Land Rover Defender with the comment "Unique seats for a unique vehicle".

    A tad off topic but since production is suspended -

    If Warner Bros wasn't involved, one could think Nolan is filming Bond 26 at the same time Bond 25 is filming, in a massive secret plot by EON.
    “Tenet,” which is being filmed on location across seven countries, is an action epic evolving from the world of international espionage.

    Can't be too much longer until a composer is announced, surely?
