Those were the days. Also a new film every 2-3 years.
So far there has been no official news announced (other than that we're getting a new film) that I actually "like". Nothing confirmed about this film has whetted my appetite. Certainly I'm intrigued by Cary directing, but not having seen any of his work I'm indifferent. Every new article regarding this film: Lea returning, especially the new Scooby Gang/ Mission Impossible article makes me less and less enthused.
Wow.
It is still early, though. Perhaps Cary will impress by giving a Bond film that makes OHMSS look like GIGLI.
I think the next era will be lighter regardless of how well-received B25 is. Connery/Lazenby era was a bit more serious, Moore sillier, Dalton serious, Brosnan sillier, Craig serious, so if the pattern continues we should get a lighter era next. Each era had both serious and silly stuff of course, but I just meant in a general sense.
I prefer McQuarrie over Nolan for Bond 26
Heck I will take Christopher Cross at least this way sailing takes me away from where I’m going
Regarding MI; it's an incredible franchise with a growing global fanbase. I can understand the studio wanting to try to incorporate some of the team spirit from that series, because it creates more recurring characters that audiences can relate to or look forward to seeing. As an example, I now want to see the next MI installment as much for Rebecca Ferguson as I do Tom Cruise. MI is MI though. It's always been team based, even if the films relied until recently more on Cruise's star power and cachet. As others have correctly noted, that is not James Bond. It never has been and it never should be. So hopefully this idea is vetoed and put to rest shortly.
I prefer my left nut over Nolan for Bond 26.
Lol I second that.
Marek would not be my first choice but it depends on the character. I agree that Oscar Isaac would be terrific, as evidenced by his work in Ex Machina.
And note how the writer Mendelson has stolen the "Scooby Gang" moniker. Is he on these boards?
Whether or not I understand the "great" Christopher Nolan isn't the point. I simply don't dig his style or want it anywhere near Bond 25. SF was close enough. Get that through your head Panchy.
You yourself have frequently said that you want a Bond film that most Bond fans will hate. Your support of Nolan would indicate that you believe he is the man to deliver this high-art, fan-hated film, and I believe you’re right. His style would seem to bear that out. So why are you surprised that so many fans are against a man who would likely deliver a movie that they would hate?
You're a stronger man than I @FoxRox lol.
It’s all just so absurd that I wouldn’t know where to begin replying to it anyway.
Looks like Peter Lorre.
Or his 5 year old son.
Yeah but not in pretty much every film. In the good old days, it was few and far between.
People who are against Christopher Cross need to ride like the wind
Hahaha
Easy there let’s not start dragging certain words into this conversation.
That being said I do find it amusing that some people view their choice of the next bond or next director etc as so obvious that anything else is laughable..
In spite of all the trends Bond has jumped on I would argue only one time did they ever truely cave to fans and that is with Brosnan but even then it had been what almost a decade since Remington Steele and was the lawnmower man really that memorable... yeah that’s what I thought. The only thing about bond 26 that intrigues me is what if people like Mendes4lyfe and panchito are wrong and we get say
Christopher McQuarrie is The Director
Tom Hardy is the 7th actor to play Bond
And for kicks and giggles
Bond 26 is Blofeld
I know I would watch it and judge it based on what was given to me and either like it or dislike it without trying to put preconceived notions in.
To bring it back to bond 25 it’s why I refuse to watch and of Cary’s earlier work I want him to surprise me I felt with the last two films (especially Spectre) I went in with a lot of preconceived notions true it’s still a mediocre Bond film (and one that annoys me that it gets more slack then Quantum of Solace due to nostalgia glasses) but I wonder if I never heard of Sam Mendes or if I didn’t read the leaks how things would be different.
The only “notion” I am going into 2019 with is NO S WORD TITLE PLEASE
I swear I can picture it now that cold spring say in March driving Amanda to work and her watching the press conference and saying
“I’m sorry babe... Bond 25 is Shatterhand”
“Nooooooooooooooooooooo”
Like @Risico007 I don't want yet another '1 word ' film beginning with 'S'.
I can confirm that Bond 25 title is - Scooby. Trust me, I know.
I don't think they'd go with SHATTERHAND - since 'shat' is slang in the UK which means Twitter will have a field day with the title. Also, why are people being being so high-maintenance about the title beginning with 'S'? Jeez, people find anything to moan about these days.
If they wanted a YOLT chapter title (presuming that is the angle they're going for) - I always liked SPARROW TEARS.
Personally, I always liked the title mooted for SF - ONCE UPON A SPY.
Also, in early September 2018, it seemed as though Lea was hinting she could return. We 'we'll see' comment seems to suggest that Eon had perhaps suggested the possibility was out there if the script went that direction:
https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/lea-seydoux-wants-return-madeleine-swann-bond-25-thomas-vinterberg-wants-direct-exclusive-133914206.html
Since Bond and Madeleine were in "love" at the end of SP. I think this might mean that 007 won't have a romantic connection in 25.
(Hoyte's cinematography was dreamy)
I think it be kind of cool if they went down the Unforgiven route and had Bond and Madeleine have a happy ever after, only for her to die of cancer in the opening and Bond to be in a rut (have Lea in dream flashbacks). Which forces a young MI6 agent to force him out for one last mission.
Bond and the MI6 agent won't have a romantic connection because the spectre of Madeleine (and all the others he couldn't save) lingers over him. See what I did there?
This thing practically write itself.
