As ever...+1 ;)
Ditto...
I'm inclined to agree. So many traditions have been played around with or broken in the Craig era I now seriously doubt if any of the regulars will be held over into the next cycle.
I personally would prefer if B26 gives us the classic MI6 staff : Major Boothroyd, Sir Miles Messervy and Moneypenny rather than the revisionist characters of the Craig films.
+1
Why would it?
It's a completely different film, in no way attached to the Bond series.
The only connection is that it's made by EON.
That's what I mean EON
It won't. :)
I don't know it's not encouraging though.
Yeah your right.
Why though? EON have made 24 other Bond films before NTTD, TRS is a film EON have made outside the Bond series. It has no connection to the Bond series.
And now you're contradicting yourself.
EDIT -
I'll also add that this has nothing to do with the production of NTTD.
The average person isn't aware of The Rhythm Section or at least its connection to Bond.
Everyone knows who Bond is, which is why none out of the 24 so far have flopped. I understand there's an instinct to worry, but it's like worrying that you're going to die because you sprained your baby finger.
Heck, the average person doesn’t even know what EON is. Any bloke would just assume Bond is wholly run by that old studio with the lion.
Oh, so true.
:)) This is very true, heard this so many times.
Love that guy.
Leo the Lion - MGM's trademark
Only that it is MGMs legendary trademark. Pretty sure he didn't knew the lions name. Not many do, or care.
Off topic: Or even worse, selling off the actual studio in 1969 and trashing the historic backlot. Now part of Sony picture's parking lot plus a residential area.
The producers' apparently lackadaisical approach to the screenplay doesn't bode particularly well. It's a nagging suspicion of mine that EON have a real blind spot when it comes to the quality of writing on their films. Hopefully CJF has injected a bit of discipline on NTTD.
I'm not spotting a problem with the screenplay with NTTD, quite the opposite. They appear to have taken real thought and consideration this time round rather than getting their nuts and bolts team in to polish a proper screenwriters work like they did with SPECTRE.
They appeared to have learnt from that mistake and the talent on board CJF, Burns & Waller Bridge, that there won't be much left of P&W outline.
I'm confident a good percentage of P&W's fingerprints have been erased and a more talented and dynamic voice will be heard in this film.
Agreed-- CJF needed time to take the script that was there from P&W, and it sounds like a page one. Which is his MO, and why there was a falling out with Nick Pizzolatto, the writer of True Detective (apparently CF came on board and started to make significant re-writes to each episode; that's why many believe the writing on the subsequent seasons had a major drop off after CF finished S1)).
Once NTTD was in a shape that was agreeable, that's when the powerhouses Burns and then Waller-Bridge were brought on.
As you say, this film will have a dynamic (and I think, unique) voice(s)...
I do know it’s Leo’s name, I’m just humorously reflecting how casual viewers likely perceive MGM and it’s relationship with Bond. Heck I’m sure some probably think Bond is really a Sony product and will be very confused when they see the Universal logo.
