Either there is going to be a lot left off screen between Bond and Madeline or there is going to be a lot of quick globe trotting with the new story, where we are barely in a location. I can't see them managing to fit both into the new film under say two and half hours
If only Bond falling for Madeline had been handled better in Spectre
Problem is, the explosion wasn't at the end of the film.
‘All’ the loose ends? How many are you counting?
Something I always remember about watching SF at the BFI imax was that during the jellyfish fight, every time the gun fired, it really lit up both bond and Patrice’s faces, something that is hardly noticeable on non imax.
Ah that's cool: I don't remember that.
It does look like the largest film explosion, just doesn't feel like a largest film explosion due to poor narrative and action choreography. There should have been more gunfire and fist fight before explosion to have better impact.
Exactly...that's my point. Bond & Madeleine just talking and looking at the explosion....casually. The explosion doesn't appear dangerous the way it was filmed. When the Mansion exploded in SF, even Bond felt the impact.
After 5 year wait, I'm okay with this. Wish Rise of Skywalker was this long.
looks like everything is indeed pointing in that direction.
007: Endgame, bring it on
I can roll with that. Angles, editing and the objects being closer to the explosion etc. The SP explosion looks too staged, IMO.
My body is ready.
As I said a couple days ago, a 150/160 minutes runtime seems more plausible to me. But you never know. Anyway NTTD will be a mammoth installment, that’s for sure.
Yes, but the film will be very, very close to a final cut by now. It might even be locked within the next few days. So that won't mean huge cuts (20 mins would be big stuff at this stage), just trims and polishes.
Not to mention that distributors, before tickets can go on sale - which they will next month - actually have to give some sort of indication to cinemas about how long the film is so they can program the showtimes and so on.
Blimey, I kind of hope that changes. That feels too long for a Bond to me.
Last year Disney gave to the theaters a runtime of 155 minutes for IX, a couple months before release, but then the actual film ended up 142 minutes.
Honestly now I think of it, I can count 3.
Madeline and Bond romance, Bond's retirement and Blofled/Brofeld. Maybe 4 if you count how they mention how the 00 section was shut down and the end of Spectre
I wasn't expected to be called out so quick :))
I'm good with a long film so long as it's paced well. I always think of Heat and Godfather II when I think of well paced movies over two and half hours long, if NTTD is anything them I'll be a happy man
Shame that; I wouldn’t have minded that being longer as it was more epic. Endgame on the other hand did feel too long to me, especially with the episodic ‘get the crystals’ thing- when it cuts to another team and you realise there’s yet another one of the bloody things to get! :)
Thanks man, i hope this is true :-O [-O<
That is very true. My guess, the final film is around 2 hours & 35 mins - 40 mins.
