That is highly impressive!
Yep. Those descriptions were awful.
...for 10 seconds.
Thanks for compiling all of that information, @jake24. You've really weathered the storm here, haven't you? This is a legendary thread!
As for the directors, I said anyone but Mendes and I'd be happy and I'm true to my word. However, I must admit that I'm only familiar with Villeneuve. Still, I trust some of your opinions about the others, so bring them on.
This.
Yes SP's was better but still not good enough.
Just. Use. The. One. From. The. Brosnan. Era.
Then add a large dollop of Barry Bond theme from say FRWL and Bob's your uncle.
It's remarkable actually how they conspire to keep royally cocking up something so utterly simple.
Shame they couldn't be so discerning when it came to Bond's brother.
Lovely stuff.
I must say, I am dissapointed. I was extremely pumped for the return of Spectre and Bond's arch nemesis in the build up to last film, but it was handled so poorly, I would now prefer that we could all just forget about it.
The whole "Craig's arc" thing is really bemusing to me. Surely the character of Bond can have no arc as such. To have one is to suggest there is a finite end, and correct me if I am wrong, the view of the fans, critics and probably the major studios, is that the Bond franchise is almost infinite.
Unless we get another reboot, which I personally would despise.
I'd be happy if he does but yes where are all these reports?
I just don't like that cowboy stance. Feels pseudo cool to me.
Well isn't there a reboot technically every time a new actor is cast?
Anyway all this would mean is - new cast top to bottom for once Craig leaves. A reboot doesn't mean they have to do Casino Royale AGAIN, unlike what a few people seem to think. And they just ignore the events of CR-SPECTRE as they happened in the Craig era.
I believe audiences today are more demanding of continuity, for EON to try to go back to the old way after what they've done from CR-SPECTRE would be incredibly disingenuous. After Craig's gone there must be a reboot - and then they can try go back to the old loose continuity method.
Also....in other news. James Bond Australia have posted that Yann was spotted at EON HQ on Tuesday.

Also I left a comment on Yann's instagram (shameless plug: my account is @amanofsteel62) asking about Bond and he deleted it. Keep an eye on his page here:

And he'd be the first French director to make a Bond film. ;)
I'm all for making the Bond franchise a little bit less British, before the inevitable Nolan takeover. ;) After all, he will probably make the most British Bond film ever.
+1
Blofeld as Bond's step-brother is a much worse idea, IMO.
So perhaps we will see DC doing some press after all.
And Halle Berry will be on 'The Tonight Show' and 'Watch What Happens Live' this week, so maybe a mention of 'Kings' as well.
I don't think so, I think Craig's CR is the only reboot because it takes him back to the beginning of his career and gives him his own arc. Goldeneye wasn't a reboot.
And it could be argued that CR isn't a reboot really ether because there was no chronology preceding it. Just IMO. Every actor has had various missions throughout the characters career, Craig just happened to get the first one.
I may be daft, but I don t understand.
Regarding Logan Lucky's press: What's unfortunate is that most of the other stars are likely to be questioned by the talking heads on Craig as they promote the film, especially since he was quite noticeable in the trailers. It's likely to be a distraction.
I'm sure we'll all be looking for 2017's version of the now infamous "Oyelowo Smile" to infer Craig's intentions, if an announcement isn't made in the next couple of weeks.
Soft reboot: OHMSS, LALD, TLD, GE, maybe even DAF
Hard reboot: CR
Oh, I see, thanks.
Anyone else think like this?
Hoping for the best.
