@TheWizardOfIce you've just made me smile on what has been quite a stressful day :)
I know what you meant. I meant Madeleine of course, since I do not happen to hold anything against miss Chase. Actually I consider her incarnation in the movie highly attractive.
Very good post.
They need to look back at and take inspiration from the Roger era and even (to a lesser extent as they did hammer the cliches post GE) Brozza.
Have confidence in your leading man and the character and create your own iconic moments.
Mendes' fanboy overuse of the DB5 for example will quickly send you into a law of diminishing returns death spiral.
Nothing great was ever created by CTRL C, CTRL V.
People were surely going to ask one way or another. Surely coming up with a false rumor wasn't necessary to kickstart an inevitable discussion.
"What Would a Christopher Nolan Bond Film Look Like?"
Some interesting thoughts. I suspect they're off base with Tom Hardy - at 39 today, he's too old (in my opinion) to sign a multi-film contract. I think you want to find someone who's early/mid 30s, tops.
:)
Good post. Probably why it seemed the makers of SP had created random Bondian scenes before the script was written and then tried to shoehorn them into the narrative.
My lord...I had them beat on this weeks ago:

I just watched High Rise, and I think Hiddleston would work well if things went in a slightly more Moore-esque direction. He can do enough action to be convincing, but mostly has that slightly cheeky, rakish air. He could be a good charmer, I think. Bale I'm not interested in, and for Fassbender I'm ambivalent.
I'm afraid the days when he was a great choice ( and he was ) are over. Looking at photos of the current alien I only can state, that his face is loosing sharpness/definition.
Essentially that's the basis for this Daily Beast story, "Why Grumpy Daniel Craig Shouldn't Return as James Bond."

I think they both get a share of blame. But yes I see your point.

Fox deals with the Bond dvd/blu-ray releases, and Annapurna already signed an international distribution with MGM earlier in the year. Could they be leading the pack?
I think we're too far down the road for Nolan to accept the role at the moment. IF he was part of this franchise, I assumed he'd want a say in casting and story from the word go.
Sound like something like United Artist. MGM and United Artist making Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies. Possible Fox release it in the cinema and MGM/Fox doing the DVD. I know VHS releases (All 20 from first 18 movies) are done by MGM/United Artist.
Twine was released by MGM/UE in the cinema also, but before the dvd release United Artist was gone (If iam correct VHS is done by MGM/Fox like there did DVD) and on the Twine dvd (MGM/Fox) the movie only starts with MGM logo. Stil other SE include United Artist logo, because it are are late 1999/earlier 2000 edits (The dvd's be released in 2000 in VS and 2001 in Europe), whyle Twine was released in September/October 2000. Die Another Day MGM/FOX in making and DVD release (In VS the movie was released by MGM/Sony in cinema and in Europe by MGM/FOX without Sony or Fox logo).
Annapurna logo, then MGM lion with both cinema and BD/DVD and in my opnion it then making it a MGM Annapurna movie, with help of Fox.
Yes, what we want is to get back to the "feel" of classic Bond.
Watch any of the '60s or '70s Bonds. That feel is there.
Still I think the way to do Bond 25, with Craig likely back, is to continue the SP story. I'd like to see Madeleine written out as each Bond film typically has its own unique Bond Girl. That's a tradition worth preserving.
To get the old "feel" back, simply dispense with the personal drama.
Bond and Blofeld, despite how badly it was done, are at least re-established as arch enemies.
So let the two continue their battle. The new story need not be weighed down by the brother angle.
Give Craig one final mission-battle against his ultimate enemy.
I am very sure the Castle of Death story will be tied-in to the new film.
By end of film, Blofeld can suffer an inconclusive fate, thus keeping him fresh, for a future re-imagining.
And yes, count me among those who very much want to see Bond battling iconic nemesis Spectre and Blofeld on into the future.
The future of Bond going forward looks bright, if only Eon could just get moving on this next film.
How did either of them butcher Batman? I've read this a lot online lately and to me it just smacks of comic book fans being ungrateful. All those films were critically acclaimed and really well made. There were calls for The Dark Knight to be nominated for best picture.
I haven't read the comics but as far as I understand, the Nolan films weren't very faithful. So? You two are big Brosnan fans and those films were far from faithful to Fleming. And if being more faithful to the comics means we get CGI heavy, excitement light pieces of crap like Man Of Steel and (haven't seen them but I'm assuming) the rest of them then I'll take Nolan pissing all over the characters roots any day of the week. But from the knowledge of the character I do have, I don't see what he did wrong. All the important stuff was there. And the films themselves were fantastic.
I wouldn't expect any official news any time soon ... EON is loving this.
What? This thread? They're the only ones who are.
I don't like their takes on the character. Not sure how that makes me ungrateful. I'm not a Batman comic purist or anything. I can't say that I've read a Batman comic in my whole life. I just think the characterization and performance of Batman in the Nolan films stinks.
