I do enjoy the comic to be honest. Like I said I prefer when bond is on our world and our time regardless of medium but IFP have s winning strategy for period pieces for some reason so oh well.
This is one of the most astute reviews of the film I have read. Aside from Mexico (which has its own logic issues but is so enjoyable, who cares?), Rome and Austria are the highlights, but tonally feel like they are from entirely different movies.
I guess Im one one the few that really like when they finally get to Oberhausers base, the meteorite, control room, & torture sequence.
I guess you could say that, but IMO the SPECTRE meeting and Mr. White scene are very much in line, tonally.
The problem is the tonal whiplash after the Spectre meeting courtesy of the jokey car chase.
[...]We’ve got lots of other things in development. Having had a break after the last Bond movie Spectre, it felt like it was time to move on.”
Noting that Mendes said he was stopping at two 007 films, and that there are rumors Daniel Craig will likely return for more after initially begging out, I ask if this was about the time he receives the inevitable call from James Bond, pulling him back in for his third 007 film?
“I think you’re going to have to ask…I don’t think anyone’s getting a call from Daniel Craig until he opens in Othello, which is his entire focus,” Mendes said.
Lets hope he already pulled Steven Soderbergh in.
Well if that were the case, Soderbergh could have the thing shot in three weeks and released early next year. ;)
I haven't seen as much of Soderbergh's filmography as I would like to make an informed decision on yay or nay for him for Bond, but I do recall him lavishing praise upon OHMSS on his website, which is always a good sign in a director.
When Dan said everyone is a little tired, I got the vibe it included Mendes. I think Mendes found the whole process of Spectre a major strain. Mendes has said Creatively he has got everything he wanted out of Bond. Therefore recasting him as director would be a disaster IMO, I think the next needs to be a solid thriller and a director with a fresh pair of eyes and vision.
When I say recasting I'm talking about the actor, you 'hire' director. I think the most likely scenario is DC with a new director, but what I'm saying above is the likelihood of Mendes returning for a third, is at this moment, more likely than DC walking imo.
Ah I see. You know when you go back to seeing how Mendes came on board, it was Dan who brought him to the table. I also saw an interview with Dan where he told a story about how Tarantino approached him at a party and said "I want to talk to you about Bond, I want to direct one" Dan said he laughed it off but QT was serious. Magical thing about having Dan on board is the directors you can pull in with him. I am hoping Dan does return, because if he does it will guarantee a top director. I think with potential move of Studio/distributor it make what is a already a very complex situation a lot easier.
Spottiswoode is known to be indecisive and that caused a lot of issues and friction on TND. I know people who worked on it and found it a strain due to the man at the helm.
All in my opinion of course.
Stand alone mission like TND for B25 would be a dream come true.
His action directing was spot on, but the hand to hand combat was weak, as was the glamour aspect, which GE nailed in Monaco for instance.
=D> yes please!
Yeah that soundproof room fight sequence in Hamburg was a joke.
It's not that bad.
