    @GetCarter , I don't think Logan will be allowed back in the Bab-cave ever again.

    oh yeah, that's likely peter.

    they do seem a forgiving, tight-knit bunch though.

    Maybe not Bond 26, but Nolan is definitly going to direct at least one Bond movie in the not so distant future. My message to Nolan haters: Deal. With. It. ;)
    That shouldn´t be too difficult, I´d just skip it.

    Looks like Daniel Craig's television project has been completed and will be available on Amazon Prime next week. Nope, not 'Purity' but Comrade Detective. The story resolved around Channing Tatum finding a long-lost Romanian TV show on VHS. All characters in the show are 'unknown Romanian actors' dubbed over by all kinds of famous actors - Joseph Gordon Levitt, Nick Offerman, Jake Johnson, Richard jenkins, Mahershala Ali, Kim Basinger, Bobby Cannavale and our very own Daniel Craig:

    To be honest; this doesn't appeal to me. At all.

    Haha, this looks like a buddy cop starring nut-jobs! I'll definitely watch this! :))

    Hats off to my brother in arms, @DaltonCraig007 for this great piece!

    I imagine that of the three leading candidates for director, they would all have to agree on the direction that P&W are working on (so that a director doesn't come on board and toss everything out and demand to start afresh-- with a looming release date, that never works out well (see: SP)).

    However, I would also have to believe these directors would have their own ideas on how to execute the script, and would even bring on their own "script doctors" to see their vision through. After all, the three mentioned seem to be legitimate visionaries rather than workman-like guns for hire.

    Visionaries... psychiatric wards are full of them.


    I couldn't resist!

    What is Craig doing in a project like this? A favour to Tatum?

    Not my cup of tea really.

    Looks like they may be going the SF route with this one. Before people lose it, I don't mean in terms of the angst. Rather, more in terms of how they take their time and get it right (I realize some disagree even then).

    Before the strike, Marc Forster threw out what work had been done before his arrival and work started anew.

    https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/a-james-bond-set-visit-and-seven-exclusive-quantum-of-solace-images/

    Forster and Wilson both revealed that an earlier idea for the film was scrapped when Forster came aboard to helm. ***“Once I signed on to do it we pretty much developed the script from scratch because I felt that it wasn’t the movie I wanted to make*** and we started with Paul Haggis [the Oscar winner who rewrote Casino Royale] from scratch,” Forster recalled. **“And I said to him these are the topics I am interested in this is what I would like to say, what’s important to me.*** And we developed it from there together. Then Barbara and Michael said they liked where we were going and they liked the script.”

    I really hope that for Daniel's final outing, his gunbarrel sequence will feature him sporting a classic black tuxedo with bowtie, rather than the traditional business suit he usually wears.

    I'd like that as well as a Barry style Bond theme to accompany it, a decent Binder style graphic for the GB and for the dot to actually enlarge and open to the first shot of the PTS.

    This. Four films in and Craig has yet to have a traditional gunbarrel. Spectre's would be perfect if it wasn't for the fade to black and the artsy text. Why couldn't "The Dead are alive." have been written on a wall in Spanish and have the gunbarrel iris in on it and expand to reveal the rest of the Day of the Dead parade? It would function exactly the same but without disrupting the flow of the gunbarrel. Oh, well. Here's hoping the fifth times the charm.

    Also Craig's gunbarrel freezes after he fires. No traditional wavering left and right and eventually sinking. No other way to put it, but Craig's 4 gunbarrels look like s**t.
    Each one.

    If I'm not mistaken @AlexanderWaverly, didn't the Paul Haggis draft include serogate Bond daddy saving Vesper's orphan???

    I think that was Haggis' first try after the initial story was tossed out. The "Bond looking for Vesper's kid" story line got rejected (I think that was by MGW and BB) and he did another take. That's the one he had to rush to finish ahead of the writer's strike.

    http://www.vulture.com/2008/11/how_james_bond_nearly_became_a.html

    "Haggis had an idea they weren't fond of, and I didn't know if it would work or not," says Forster. "The idea was that Vesper in the last movie, maybe she had a kid, and there would be an orphan out there. It wasn't anything to insult the franchise. But they felt it wasn't particularly Bond — him looking for the kid. I think Paul thought he just leaves the kid, he doesn't deal with it. But [the producers] thought that would be really nasty, too, because Bond was an orphan himself. If he would find a kid, would he just leave it? They were so vehemently against it. That was the only time I saw, really, 'No, we can't do that.' They said, 'Once he finds the kid, Bond can't just leave the kid. It's not right.'"

    Bond and kids is a terrible idea. Fine for brainstorming by a writer, but the role of the producers is to rightly squash something like that.

    What a horrific idea! Babs and MGW have my respect for vetoing that!

    No kids in a Bond film please. Unless they are thrown off a boat in Thailand.

    I was just about to say that! In addition I wouldn't want to see an Indy/Temple of Doom scenario with Bond where he has a kid hanging around him throughout the film. What might have been funny with Short Round probably wouldn't work with Bond.

    Strangely enough, due to DirecTV's horrible plot summaries, I thought the story of TWINE was going to be something similar before I first saw it. The description was; "Bond protects the daughter of a late friend," and I thought it meant a young daughter. Terrible synopsis, but I liked the idea of Bond showing a softer side with the girl, while at the same time viciously pursuing/killing those trying to harm her.

    Also Bond wasn't Sir Robert King's friend. M was.
