Very good spot!
According to the hashtag, this is an old photo that Magnussen felt was appropriate to upload today as it was apparently a "sign" of something to come when he was lost once in Vietnam.
I mean, he may as well confirm that he's in the movie with a hint like that! About as subtle as an earthquake.
I always felt the most underwhelmed by his name out of all the new actors mentioned. He's a little uninspiring and I've seen him in a bunch of stuff. However, he's never really that memorable. I'd like to be proved wrong. Also I haven't seen Game Night, which I hear he's scene-stealing in.
However, just by looking at him, I can see him being a sleazy CIA agent. Perhaps he's giving Jeffrey Wright a hard time? Perhaps he's the henchman - like a fraternity "bro" version of Red Grant.
I don't really care if Bond gets Oscar nominations now. I'm glad if he does and if he wins, but he's above Oscars. OHMSS, GE and CR were outstanding Bond films that weren't nominated to the Academy Awards. I wish they'd follow that trend back.
Sure there's a balance. There's also trying to top the last one, and repeating an established formula as successfully as went on through the 70s and 80s and after really. A hallmark of the success of the series.
Such an obvious point of discussion, there.
I'm pretty sure too. Given that I never claimed Bond was gonna change. Great reading comprehension.
More efficient. These huge gaps between films do NOT do the franchise any favors in an always competitive movie marketplace.
Can anyone translate the Italian? The google translate seems a bit confused this time. I cant tell if they are claiming the femme fatale will be in Jamaica or Matera.
Also couldn't quite tell if the Boyle version of the script had Bond married or if that is their guess for this version. Previous articles by this paper have had either better translations or just written better overall.
That makes more sense. Also it's amazing how the Hybrid Aston Martin story is now all over the internet. Car and Driver is running with it. Scottish Sun is now a reliable source apparently.
It is frustrating to have to wait 5 years for a new Bond film. And indeed, the good thing of shorter gaps is that if you didn't like the current Bond entry you can move on to the next. Maybe if we SP had been the OHMSS of the modern era none of us would care how long the next one takes, but some of us really didn't like the movie.
And I'm not sure I can truly believe that writing Bond films is significantly harder so it takes longer to make them now. I think evidently other factors are at play. QOS was being written on the go and it is considerably better than SP despite being forgettable overall.
I also don't want Bond to become a factory product even if the haters feel the franchise is one. I'd rather they take their time making something special. I want another SF for Craig.
So I don't think it's black and white.
We never know if they're crafting something special until the film comes out so trying to guess that by the small amount we know about pre-production is kinda pointless. Terrible films have been made in more time, and great films have been made in less time but it works both ways.
They say that Bond will meet this "femme fatale" during a tropical party by a beach location close to Matera (Spiaggia dei Ginepri, Marina dei Pisticci). Same location where Bond, by the end of the movie,
That's the beach location featuring "jamaican" vibes, whatever that means. So no Jamaica in their report.
BTW filming in Italy will be massive. First unit will shoot more than a month between August and September, plus all the prior second unit work in July. Looks like the movie won't feature Matera only in the PTS...
They spent more than two months in Turkey for SF, where 95% of the shots ended up in the PTS.
Didn’t turkey also double for Shanghai in places as well ...
I don’t mean to sound bitter about Skyfall but it was definitely bond on a budget.... I plan on rewatching the other three Craig movies before the first week of April so I will have them fresh in my mind when we see the title reveal of (I wish) The Hildebrand Rarity
Turkey also doubled for the place that was suppose to look like the Macau harbour. The beach scene with a worn-out Bond was shot in Turkey, too.
This is really annoying me now. This film must be cursed.
Doesn't matter
This is par for the course for big productions like this one. Bond movies often have things like this happening. Don't forget the monks protesting the filming for the climax of FYEO and ruining all their location shots, for example.
Yes, I suppose these things can happen. I just hope it doesn't result in another delay; I hope they sort it out soon and we get the title still end of this month. wishful thinking.
don't worry The Hildebrand Rarity will move on with no more delays :D
Maybe I am naive but you would think that EON would have filed all necessary paperwork and agreements to conduct the planned filming. Therefore they should have every right to turn protestors away from the filming site and secure it. Dont imagine they will let this delay filming on the 25th of March.
@NS_writings I see what you mean
