    No wonder Craig gets into shape, she probably threatens to sleep with him if he doesn't do the work-outs properly??

    Makes Grace Jones in her May Day days look hot.
  • Craig's also cut his hair short again, to turn the discussion away from his companion.

    Now that the Scandinavians are in line to offer the Bond Films a new Bond Girl, it's time to test your knowledge on the Nordic Bond !

    How high will you score our test ?

    I am stretching things up here, but since Norway is briefly mentioned in the novel CR, is it possible that they will inspired themselves from this brief mention, the way the short story FAVTAK inspired partially (maybe) SF?

    Always reminds me of a scene from Friends:

    Chandler's Dad: "Aren't you a little too old to be wearing a dress like that?"
    Chandler's Mum: "Don't you have a little too much penis to be wearing a dress like that?"

    :D

    I think it is almost a couple of months by now since the opening of the Bond in Motion show in London? I wonder if they have their main villain sighned up yet? :-?

    SAM MENDES TALKS BOND 24
    Director says that he's currently making sure there are no holes in script.

    Director Sam Mendes discussed the state-of-play with James Bond 24 this week, stating that the script is currently being worked on, and explaining how watching Daniel Craig on stage has inspired him.

    Speaking at a BFI screening, Mendes said, “The next one – it’s being written... It’s ongoing. For me, so much of it is about script. It’s like the building of a boat – once the boat gets on the current, it’s gone. If there’s a hole in the boat, you’re f**ked. So you’ve got to make sure there’s no holes in the boat, and that’s what we’re doing now.”

    He also said that watching Daniel Craig on stage had inspired him to go further with the character. “I went to see Daniel Craig in Betrayal and I was reminded what a fantastic actor he is outside of James Bond,” he explained. “It inspires you to think of other ways to use him and allow him to express that. Ralph Fiennes is another great example.”
    Mendes was also promoting his London production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and revealed how both projects have complemented each other.

    “At a certain point, there’s no question that working on Skyfall and Charlie at the same time, as I was for three or four years, one fed the other” he explained. “They are two great iconic characters, by iconic writers - Fleming and Dahl - both of them quite strange. Both of them in a sense became more famous after they were dead. More lauded now than when they were alive. Considered populist and perhaps not entirely to be taken seriously. And yet now seem to be two of the greater writers of the 20th century in this country. Both had odd relationships with the country itself. And they created these two great iconic characters - Willy Wonka and James Bond.

    "So there was lots of back-and-forth going I felt. And they did of course come into contact, with Dahl writing the screenplay for Ian Fleming’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and they knew each other. So they were drawn to each other as well. So it’s interesting that there are parallels.”

    I wonder if the "holes in the boat" bit comes from his work on SF, or in general, but I'm hoping the latter, given the plot holes we got in SF.

    I have worked with film before. Good luck with no holes! Near impossible.

    @Thunderfinger, agreed, there will always be holes, but the less, the better. If it's nowhere near as bad as SF, then I say mission accomplished.

    Nowhere near as bad as 70 percent of all films, short or feature length-mission accomplished.

    Yeah, but 70% of all directors don't go walking around promising "no holes in the boat", do they?

    There have always been plot holes in the Bond movies. I don't mind them at all. What I do mind however, is a director taking the franchise in a direction I personally don't like. Let's see where the next one goes.

    If bond can be a bit more global in the next one and the plot can be a bit more interesting then yeah I am excited

    Interesting article, although we do not learn much, if anything at all.

    Odd that Mendes references Dahl, but not his YOLT screenplay.

    My thoughts exactly. Compared them without bringing that fact up. Surprising coming from a huge Bond fanatic.

    I think we could argue a good majority of holes in Skyfall, and in film in general come from the editing. We know Sam went back and cut a lot of SF out, so I'm sure we lost a few bits and pieces we maybe shouldn't have. I think I even recall him saying they finished the edit within two weeks of the premiere. Sounds like they just ran through the movie with a pair of scissors, desperate to get the film out.

    Hopefully that can be avoided, but I'm sure once they get all their shots done they'll naturally have to leave some stuff out, and with that a few holes will open up. It is, as @Thunderfinger says, inevitable; impossible.

    @JWESTBROOK, there were a lot more chase sequences in the film, and even the production photos we saw showed a lot that was missing, some of it that was vital, such as Severine meeting Patrice in Shanghai to give him the briefcase.

    I remember the picture from Severine and her 2 bodyguards on the rolling stairs, it have been nice to see thm before we see them in the Casino and it give us a bit more Severine too.
