    That's what I am saying. Look at all American made films, none of them have the layer of sophistication and class Bond films have. Prepare to lose that this time.

    Some counterpoints to suggest you may be a tad off the mark on this one...

    BOND’S APRIL SHOWER – Why Cary Joji Fukunaga directing BOND 25 is a delicious curveball

    the difference being of course - that the action isn't being chopped and cut 15 different ways.. there is nothing wrong with the handheld look, as long as you know what you are shooting and you aren't telling your editor to take a chainsaw to your scenes lol.

    Forster tried way too hard to reproduce the style of the Bourne films directed by Paul Greengrass. And he never realized that Greengrass, no matter how chopped his scenes may look, prepares a lot of visual cues, sometimes nearly subliminal, that allow the audience to pick on what's happening even if it's too fast to fully understand it. It can be a particular colour, an emblematic shape, etc. There's quite the amount of work in pre-production for this.

    Compare this to the PTS in Quantum of Solace. Bond in a grey car is chased by bad guys in similar cars, and similar colours. You spend your time trying to recognize in a shot if it's Bond's car, and then the shot is over.

    You spend your time reading this in the Bond 25 thread. ;-)

    You clearly haven't seen Jane Eyre by Cary Fukunaga.

    You know what, @PanchitoPistoles? - and feel free not to care - Your posts have been getting better and better quality wise, apart from hexes and threats ;) I admit to not reading your posts for a while, but your interventions have been very apt as of late. Congratulations. That and our mutual appreciation for Nolan makes me want to bury the axe, smoke the pipe, shake the hand. Your move.

    That being said. Quite right about Fukunaga. Not worried at all. Quite curious in fact.

    + 1

    He has been much more relaxed since I mentioned his rejected drafts for CR & B25.

    Some of you guys make it Sound like Fukunaga is the next Michael Bay.
    The cultural travelogue and style aspect of Bond films is most important to me, if not the most important, as i am a 'Bond-traveler' myself (it was either that or the priesthood)

    With that being said i have zero worries that Fukunaga will get it right, because the guy is very bright and does his homework. He knows what Bond is about and will deliver.
    Not a single one of his movies feels 'American'.

    On the contrary: All his films are totally immersed in the culture they portray.
    Sin Nombre - South American, latino
    Jane Eyre - 19th century British
    Beasts - Central African
    Even True Detective feels very much immeresed in the US Deep South.

    Also he always works with local Talent, to get that cultural feel across, similar to Boyle actually.

    Daniel and EoN will take care of the rest. It's not like Fukunaga is doing the whole thing by himself.

    People like to whine and complain.

    Thewhiningroyale, one would call it.

    The QOS PTS did not annoy me as much as some of the later editing.

    There are threads for QOS.

    Wow, this is really, really recurrent. It really is a devise film.

    Now back to the future devise film. Bond25 ;)
    Kidding, of course.

    The long-sleeve polo, with blue slacks, is a dead giveaway. Another one of CR's minor flaws: wardrobe.

    I swear what is it with you and Barbara Broccoli. You seem to have a love/hate relationship with your vegetables.

    If you think about it, it's like Christmas spirit, if one wants to, it's there all year ' round ;)

    I would've thought that, with fake news and all, this day would become redundant.

    PS: I hate it too.

    Guys, please tell me there will be a press conference this week! :( Remember, MI6-HQ posted this just 9 days ago:

    MI6 understands the traditional kick-off press conference for Bond 25 will be held on or around April 1st at Pinewood Studios.

    My press conference prediction: next week. Just guesswork, but maybe they want to wrap up filming over here first (which was rumoured to continue this week).

    If we don’t hear something by Wednesday it probably won’t happen this week, based on SP’s 2-days prior announcement for its press conference.
