1. He is one of the biggest Daniel Craig fans on here.
2. 0Brady is one of my favorite members with his fan art. Don't pay attention to the guy, he's probably a j7wild in the making...
3. @ChrisGreethamHaislet, You're a mindless troller who probably likes the films because of Craig and haven't actually seen any of Connery's.
4. In the words of my friend, Timothy Dalton... "Piss off!"
Excuse me mods, if this comes as inappropriate
That was brilliant!
Nice work sir!
You had me in the first second. :D
Think its a thing or not a thing?
But Bond is alive, that's why. I don't understand your question.
9 agents - 8 die = 1 left (Bond)
So is it 8 random deaths or the death of 8 double 0's, which would be really striking if so.
Do you think they killed off the other 8 double 0's is what I meant.
I think it is in one big attack, but I don't like thinking about the plot. I try to stay wary of threads involving Skyfall for a fear of spoilers.
Is this sarcasm? I hope so, because we've already been down that road: tons of other films in the past have included cars and trains at the same time, along with Istanbul foot chases, I'm sure. Is SF copying them, then, too? I'm not throwing SF under the bus and defending 'Taken 2,' I'm just stating that it's ridiculous to trash one of two films, out in the same year that use slightly similar stunts, when tons of other films years before them have done nearly (or exactly) the same thing.
Assassin's Creed Revelations had chases on the Istanbul rooftops. Obviously Bond and Taken are ripping that off!!! Cars and trains?? This sounds familiar... They're ripping off the Speed!!!! Somebody tell Keanu Reeves!!! :-w
Istanbul is a great place to shoot. Sue them. A lot of spy films are personal missions. Just coincidence.
That was a teaser trailer, meant to tease; hence, we don't really see a lot, do we? Just quick shots and snippets of action. I highly doubt SF will steer clear of Istanbul in the marketing because of Taken 2 - I also doubt the general audience will make such a connection, and opt for one film or the other because of a location.
Now, if you want to speak in coincidences, it's funny that I have never really heard of any 'White House takeover' films - I'm sure they're out there, and I'll probably kick myself for neglecting the obvious because I'm a self-claimed movie buff - but we have two of them coming out next year, and they're on the fast track to compete with one another.
True, still not happy with it. We had similar with the International, but that film wasn't very hyped or very successful. We will see...

Nobody is ripping off anyone. I think it's just a coincidence and I doubt the two films will be similar.
If we were people looking for reasons to complain, we would also make a snapshot of the firework above the water in Taken 2 trailer and say "see, they even copied the firework they did above the water in Skyfall"... But here, we're talking about exact same location, quite unused until then as far as I know. In Assassin Creed, from what I saw, you see nothing close to what we see in Taken 2 and in Skyfall (the hard paths on the roofs that allow running and cycling).
In the end - its the story that carries a film and from what I know, there is not mjuch of that in Taken or was - even though I really enjoyed part 1. Not sure, there is need to see the same again...
