Skyfall and CR sort of have that in common, in the sense that they have truly great action spectacle (and both plenty of it) but they really do sneak large segments of Bond film by without it. A testament to how great they both are from a story and character perspective, I think. Craig's two strongest for sure.
Local newspapers usually don't make up this stuff. Like Sassilive online (which is full of unsafe cookies and virus-inducing clickbait), it eventually was true. Why would a local newspaper from the Faroe Islands make up this stuff?
Also, it's perhaps only used for extensive aerial shots. And such shots fit in wonderfully with the footage that has been filmed in Norway and Scotland. In essence: it makes sense. Confirmed news (by seeing more evidence of crew filming? Not yet. BS? Perhaps we can use these words when we know for sure it's BS, and so far it's not pointing in that direction.
Wait till you find out there are moving pictures with NO ACTION scenes in it.
Yeah definitely. You leave thinking you've seen a great action film, but in between the (thrilling) pre-titles and the climax of SF you get: a fist fight, another fist fight (with a lizard), a (very) brief tussle with a duelling pistol, a run through the tube ending in an explosion, which links to a run though a street leading to a shootout. And that's it.
Wow this blew up! See folks I re-watched the Connery films and I noticed that Bond would have a scene with M and the dialogue was realistic and long. Not this.. SF (ending) SP crap..
“Where were you??”
“Gone”
“Okay and you expect me to believe you weren’t involved?”
“No”
“Off to Q!!!”
“Yes sir.”
That’s what you guys think is a Bond film?!
Yes Bond is a one liner type of guy. Unfortunately Brosnan’s Bond only spoke in one liners.
If you watch Connery you’ll notice he’s easily the best Bond because he carried conversations with the villains, Bond girls and M/MP.
I don’t care what anyone says, Bond is not just a one liner type of guy. He is quick and witty but he is also extremely intelligent and can correct M and other agents. He can also reveal the entire villains plans TO THE VILLAIN. He’s not some guy that just kills his way to the bad guy and hopes for the best. He always has a plan.
Bottom line...He definitely isn’t JUST an assassin. He is a spy. When’s the last time Craig’s Bond did any type of spy work?? Casino Royale?
Casino Royale is a top 5 Bond film for sure, they really did an amazing job on the overall story, flow and dialogue.
Quantum Of Solace was a revenge film inspired by the Bourne franchise. So yes I expected Bond to say less and for it to be non-stop action. It’s in my top 10.
Then we had Skyfall..
AMAZING cinematography, extremely well edited but.. HORRIBLE Bond film. Home alone on an empty field?? Geez the Brosnan films had more climatic final acts than that.
No Time To Die is in really really good hands. I will openly admit I disliked the CJF Director choice but I recently watched all of his previous projects and I was blown away.
I think we can expect the following.
1) CR/OHMSS knock off. It will be in that tone/more dialogue and lots of huge action scenes. More hand to hand combat. At least two huge car chases, boat chase and possibly two more big action sequences. (Cuba/Ending castle scene)
2) The writing will be the biggest strength. The editing should be on point to CR/SF type editing.
3) Music will most likely be weak yet again, considering the composer isn’t a big name. If we are lucky he will adapt the old Connery themes and remix them. I could be wrong but I’m not blown away by anything this guy has done yet.
Clickbait!!!! Plus, Guidetofaroeislands is not a newspaper. It's a travel site.
And for the third or fifth time, local Sassi news helped us out every day with correct location info, footage, stills. And italian Lotus prod, hired by EON, was feeding Sassi, just enough intel on any given prod. day in Matera and Gravina
Jees, take it easy hehe. Shall I bow for you? :)
Thank you!!!
Yes.. Do people forget they did this for Skyfall? Didn’t they take drone/helicopter footage + location shots then film everything else in London.
+1 :-).
Agree. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Could well be. It isn t too different from western Norway.
Totally agree.
The scenery is beautiful. I kinda hope they do use this location with the main unit. I guess Cary's IG will inform us in the coming days
I just wonder what location Norway is supposed to portray in the film. I have a feeling it will double for someplace else (unfortunately), and that they'll potentially use (areal) footage from Faroe Islands as well.
The Atlantic Ocean Road is distinctly Norwegian, no?
Perhaps Norway doubles for the ice planet Hoth again,
Yeah, but I don't think that'll stop them from portraying it as somewhere else. I mean, Preikestolen – a well-known tourist attraction here in Norway, was supposed to portray India or whatever inn M:I Fallout!
Maybe so! :))
Quite. There are no fjords in India, but few people in the world reacted to that, I guess.
Yeah it'd be good to go back to Iceland.
I like the idea of Bond going to Norway and the Nordic countries: I find them rather fascinating and exotic places and hugely underused in Hollywood film. Something like Billion Dollar Brain is super cool.
I am wondering how they will fit all of these elements into the same movie. We so far have The Bond Madeleine relationship, Nomi as the new 007, Spectre returning, Felix calling Bond out of retirement and a brand new villian. Seems like so much for one movie, but I have faith the writing talent on this film can pull it off.
It’s just a (beautiful) road in a cold place. :D
Came to this idea because, M in SP wears braces with a blue shirt like JB in NTTD, which is basically confirmation....
Wow can’t wait for this trailer.
