Yes, please! Exactly.
I'm liking this fella, so far.
Good, he is not needed.
I bet that takes ages to load-up...talk about slow.
Here's an extensive behind the scenes video of the omega ad.
That would be awesome. I'm hoping for more aquatic action! We've just got a little over 4 months to wait until production begins!

Following the progress on the KNIVES OUT production is like waiting for that opening act to finish so we can get to the real reason we're here, BOND 25.
I'd say we're about 2/3rds in agreement. I mean, it's Bond after all - it's become bigger than the sum of its parts, and I'd think any director should be honoured to be part of it.
On the other hand, all of us in our professional lives can relate to the idea that jumping into someone else's project mid-stream is fraught. I don't often like doing it. Add in the artist temperament and a 9-figure budget and it's not too surprising that some directors would balk.
Fianlly, and once again, I think my remaining 1/3rd of the responsibility lies not with the directors but with EON. I know we're tired of hearing Marvel mentioned here, but they seem like they're more adept at having the rough outline in place, approaching directors well in advance with budget, cast, and outline, and then staying flexible enough to accommodate changes as needed. I just can't help but feel that if EON were serious about securing Layton (or anyone else, for that matter) they should have approached him with a serious, committed offer.
