This is a very exciting development for us Canadians!!!
At least it's a rumour! Haven't been much news after the confirmation of Fukunaga - which is understandable, of course.
Other than "Kanada" I cannot fathom this. Could someone translate please? :)
The problem with this is it won't be under the title B25, and; I doubt it will be under SHATTERHAND either.
So, if it is in Toronto, like the Colonel hears things in England, we will know soon enough through production managers and line producers and all the crew vying for the Bond job.
The key there is it will probably be those who didn't get the job who will spill the news that 007's coming to town (as those who won a position will likely keep their mouths shut).
(suffice to say I've started to send out emails to production people I know)
Some terrific music right there @jake24 ... Lots of depth to it (to this layman).... Has a bit of Barry-- with the trumpets??
On a separate note (see what I did there??): A producer friend got back to me re: B25 shooting in Toronto/Canada. He's producing Emma Roberts new Netflix show Spinning Out (starts shooting in Toronto in November)-- he hasn't heard of B25 coming into town.
He said he'll keep his ears open, but so far, me contacting him was the first he'd heard of this.
The rumour is for Canada in general; Toronto was not mentioned specifically.
DC “ hey Babs, I've called this meeting... Cos I want you to go down the 24 hr garage and get me some hobnobs”
Yes, @jake24 , I asked about shooting in Toronto/Canada (and/or), and right now whether in Toronto, or somewhere else in Canada, he hasn't got word (this guy usually gets news of the bigger productions coming to Canada since, as a bigger fish, he gets first crack at them).
If he gets a whiff of this, even if it's a rumour, he'll let me know (and I would think IF this is true, they're not advertising the next Bond film as they start buying up space to work in, so we can expect a trickle-down effect.)
Free doobies for everyone at the wrap party.
I'll be keeping a close eye on this page: http://www.whatsfilming.ca/upcoming/?referer=production
I've assigned you to Station C, Canada.
Anything further from Canadian intelligence?
Perhaps we should shift our focus to the Canadian.
You're Canadian? You work in Canadian intelligence? It's all right. I know you do.
Glang, lang-a-Lang-a-Lang-a-Lang-a-Lang-a-lang, glang-a-lang...
Please do.
Great city.
Lots of crew there.
So far, my producer friend hasn't heard anything. But I've sent out to others in the production field. Plus my own agent. I await feedback!!
Agreed.
Damn, @RichardTheBruce , that would be soooooooo amazing if they picked up on that thread.... Quebec and Old Montreal have a beautiful western Euro-vibe including Mont Tremblant for skiing (it's gorgeous and exotic)....
switching identities on us? Making mud-pies???
It would be great to have Bond in Canada (even if we're doubling for another city (which is often the case))-- not sure how seriously we should take this news.
The guy in question got the month of principal correct-- but that's a published piece of news by now....
I've just got a second email from a set designer-- she has not heard anything about Bond landing in Canada.
I'm not saying that this rumour is not true, BTW, just saying that players in the community have yet to hear something drop on this...
It's 4 and a half months out to shooting, so there's time to crew up in some Canadian city. This would have to happen, latest, by Dec/early Jan.
So, eyes WIDE, ears OPEN up until Jan.
If nothing by then, I'd bet, it won't and can't happen.
I've also toured Nova Scotia and that was pretty awesome as well.
I could get behind a Hurwitz Bond score. I like this a lot. It reminds me of 80's Barry.
Sounds great. I’ll have to check it out.
Like it a lot. I can picture Bond climbing a snowy mountain to this music in order to get to the villains’s headquarters undetected with scenes cut in of the enemy’s final plan coming into play as Bond gets closer...
Where there's some similarity is in the off-beat small town location, a murder of a young woman as the window through which we are introduced to series of strange local characters, in the fact that a couple of intrepid (one rather eccentric and philosophizing and the other pretty conventional and yet folksy) outsiders are investigating, in the involvement of something (or someone) dark, hidden & yet pervasive (I can't give more away without spoiling it), in the somewhat surreal cinematography and distinct atmosphere, and in the impact the case has on the investigators.
They are otherwise very different shows, and TD doesn't have any of the distinctive quirky humour or mood of Twin Peaks. It's far more introspective. Show founder Nic Pizzolato is apparently a fan. Another show which reminded me similarly of Twin Peaks is AMC's The Killing (also excellent).
If there's any truth to this, it very well could be either Canada doubling for another location, a brief stopover for some information, or the scene of an action encounter, leveraging the scenery (as in the TSWLM PTS). The 'ice desert' remark is what got me thinking about that.
You do know that you’re about to get lectured as to why it’s “different “ lol
