Yes, russian walking clichés and a mahori henchman to rival Mr. Kill...
Yes, my thoughts exactly. I'm actually hoping they go for something completely different.

That means Deakins won’t be shooting Denis Villenueve’s Dune (which many expected he would). I heard a rumour on the Nolan film forum that Greig Fraser was going to be the DP on that film anyway.
This raises the question of who will get the Bond 25 job. Personally, I don’t think we’ll get a ‘star’ DP. Fukunaga is a Cinematographer himself and clearly is very involved in that aspect of all his projects (he even shot Beasts of No Nation himself).
His last few projects have had Darren Lew behind the camera. I suspect Fukunaga will hire someone like Lew – who is really a technician before being a DP – and Fukunaga will really oversee that department himself. Much like Kubrick did on his films and Paul Thomas Anderson did on Phantom Thread.
Darren Lew shot this Malick-esque short with Fukunaga and this ponderous Calvin Klein video with him as well.
I just finished watching Maniac. I had watched True Detective years ago. But one thing stands out with both: the way CJF moves the camera during action scenes, particularly shootouts. If his camera work can make Emma Stone look bad ass (totally out of character for her), then I am salivating over what he'll do with DC.
I think so. I always had a hunch Boyle's groundbreaking "great idea" was probably something I wouldn't have liked. I had completely forgotten about the Maori henchman casting concept.
I think it may be due to 'Maniac' having a slightly heightened-reality tone. Plus, isn't the scene taking place inside a delusional? I think Fukunaga sacrificed verisimilitude and wanted to make something more stylised.
We don't know much about his approach to Bond. But I assume that it will follow the template from the previous Craig films and have a more 'realistic' feel, which suits with Fukunaga's previous filmography.
Also, Fukunaga loves a long take. Often they are beautifully composed. There is a great one in 'Sin Nombre' where the boys go into the gang compound. It's v subtle and shows the everyday life of MS-13 gangsters. There is also another great one in 'Beasts of No Nation'.
I think Mendes was inspired by True Detective for SP; what with the tracking shot and the references to The Pale King. I recall thinking that it felt a little familiar at the time.
Hey at least it's a more inspiring choice than dua lipa or ed sheeran
I´m not particularly hot for long continuous shots, because they can easily have the effect of technical aspects detracting from the Story and come across as showing off. I had that Feeling in SP´s pts. But I must admit the camera in this Clip is Beautiful to watch.
Burn him out? It will load his batteries for Bond by having him Focus on something entirely different before delving into Bond again!
Brace yourself for disappointment.
Maniac's violence was over the top on purpose. True detective is more rooted in reality. But some of the same style exists: the camera pans, shifts, and backs up a lot, as though we're on a Disneyland theme ride. I like it a lot.
Again: that staging was reflecting the show. You won't find that stuff in True Detective. I wouldn't worry about that.
Beyonce. End of discussion. She'll kill it. Bassey 2.0.
I think it will be Beyonce or Gaga.
