The day 'fans' are allowed near a franchise is the day it goes to shit.
Yeah great idea - bin MGW and Babs and give the studio total control. Who knows we might be really lucky and they might even manage to coax Michael Bay into taking the directors seat.
Jesus Christ - I come back to this?
Welcome back, sorry you had to step in a pile of poo as you walked in the door. Things have gotten pretty crazy over the last few weeks since the lack of news. Should've seen how it was when P&W were announced to return!
Fab post after so long away. ;-) =D>
Great to have you back.
It's just something thrown together by the talent agency. It's full of inconsistencies. Like I said early this morning, I figure they took miscellaneous tidbits from the Internet and threw it up there, hence Chiwetel Ejiofor being attached when he isn't confirmed.
Indeed. And reportedly the reason the opera sequence of QoS had to be re-edited once it was spotted that a Super Fan was trying to photobomb every crowd/audience scene.
Photobomb idiots are everywhere, I swear.
Fans in charge of Bond would be a complete disaster.
Just a few possible locations? or cast members? Certainly not one for knowing everything? I always avoid spoilers for films i am really pumped for.
Yes this is the same Cubby that told Spielberg he wasn't ready to direct Bond despite having been responsible for the biggest blockbuster of all time Jaws. Spielberg showed ARB though and gave us an action adventure film that betters any Bond film. So he wasn't ready, who's film are we aping in some second rate Bond adventure a mere 2 years later but Stevie's Indiana Jones?
At least BB and MGW see Bond beyond directors by numbers like John Glen and are willing to give individuals a chance instead of in house lackeys with no vision at all. Seriously do you think Bond would be were it is with the modern day equivalent of Glen directing the Craig era?
That said neither is blind faith in Broccoli/Wilson family nepotism the future. The seminal 007 Legends executively produced by David G Wilson anybody? Don't try telling me a load of fanboys and a Commodore 64 wouldn't have produced better results?
Isn't Martin Cambell a bit like the modern day equivalent of Glen? A journeyman director who has worked his way up and knows the business back to front. Glen may not have been an auteur director but he still helmed 3 of my favourite entries in the series. Less of the Glen knocking please - he's massively and unfairly underrated round here. To be honest, it's a steady pair of hands like his that has so obviously been missing over the last quarter century of very hit and miss Bond movies.
Mary poppins what's that!?
Absolutely tremendous news that you're back wizard! God I've missed you!
Agreed. Except me. I am a fan and I am planning to direct a Bond film 20-30 years from now. It won't be shit, I promise. :) A young 30-35 year old Bond, basic gadgets, no Moneypenny, no Q, Bond never wears a suit or a tuxedo in the whole movie. Fluid cinematography but absolutely no shaky cam, think "The Tree of Life". Great emphasis on impeccable costume design, inspired by the movie "Io sono l'amore". A very unique Bond girl: a young divorced woman with children (don't worry they never appear in the movie, they are only mentioned). Very Bondian locations. NO ugly Central Asian underground tunnels, NO fake looking lairs shot entirely in a studio. 3 locations maximum! Very simple but not simplistic plot with very strong characters. A Bond movie shouldn't be a complicated thriller but rather a suspense/drama with 3 amazing action scenes. In cinemas around 2040! ;)
This better not become a "My Bond movie would be like.." thread. I will flag for days.
This has been a thread for everything Bond related for a loong time. ;) Oh and it's not like "My Bond movie would be like..". it's "My Bond movie WILL be like.."
=))
Well, unless your Bond movie WILL be Bond 24 (and hopefully not, if you're planning 2040), feel free to share it.. elsewhere.
