I agree. Craig is 45 and the best thing that's happened to EoN since GE. Mothballing him is just ridiculous. With the Craig era being so successful and SF being the biggest movie since TB, recementing Bond's critical and commercial success and rightful place in pop culture, large gaps in between movies is just madness and as you rightfully said, rusts sets in and there's a saying in the world of business, time is the killer of deals. We need to strike while the iron is hot and keep the momentum going. Let Craig finish his last 2 or 3, then EoN can take a 5 year break if needs be.
I think Nolan is destined to be one of 'those' directors that will forever be snubbed by the Academy, no matter how good his work is.
it really depends... he's part of that "summer blockbuster" type crowd now with the success of his Batman trilogy - but films like that are hardpressed to garner any attention from the Academy, unless it's for technical achievements... i think he'll get one some day, but it wont be soon... it took Spielberg and Scorsese how long?? lol
=))
Dan's box office run as Bond has garnered over 2 billion dollars between 3 films - thats unprecedented... he is over big time with the general public, and is widely regarded and arguably the best Bond since Connery to many a people and critics alike.....
so sacking him seems like the only logical way to continue and repeat the financial success that Skyfall has achieved...........
..... i am glad you're not the one making decisions over at EON lol.
Christopher Nolan has been nominated for three Oscars so far: Two for 'Best Screenplay' for 'Inception' and 'Memento' and one as producer, 'Best Picture' for 'Inception'.
His directing flat? You must be joking no :-P?
SF was Bond's Wrath Of Khan, cool, not bad, now can we get a proper Bond fun adventure if not a serious espionage movie? :)>-
Me neither! Lol. That's why I'm not a big budget film producer! I'm speaking purely from a fan perspective. Dan's been attached to the role for almost 8 years and is 45 now. He's done a fine job with the role, but I'd like to see a change, especially if the series is going in this 'back to basics' direction.
excuse me for not being more precise.... he has not been nominated for Best Director as of yet...
and no i am not joking... like i said, i like his movies, but i find his use of the camera to be very flat and lacking style... that is my opinion and i'm sticking to it.
No, but I do want some continuation now really. To suddenly go completely low-budget is kinda stupid...
Think he's busy making 20,000 Leagues...
You think so? You think he'd do a Martin Campbell and come back in 10 years? With all respect to Campbell, Mendes is in a different league as far as esteemed directors go. Mendes being a big name Oscar winning directing, may not have time to return to Bond again.
I took the conversation to be about the 'Best Director' category as well.
I agree, and I don't find his handling of action scenes very interesting either.
On the contrary. People slammed him for doing AMERICAN BEAUTY to be a politcial leftist. There was a risk, as he never made a blockbuster action movie (RTP was not a action move), but he proved the critics wrong. Pity that he will not return for B24. Danny Boyle might be a good choice. Or bring back Martin Campbell. I don't about Joe Wright, I only watched HANNA, which I consiered to be good, but not brilliant. And it might depend on Craig and his commimtemnt to TGWPWF. Rumours have it, that MGM consider to repalce him, because he wanted more money. But I don't know whether there is some truth in it...
doubtful... this isn't Pierce we are talking about..
Dan signed his contract and he has 2 more films to go which he is legally obligated to.. if he wants more money, it'll be for another film after his current contract is up.
Replace Craig? How do these things get started. EON will not touch the main cast. Seen the BO for SF lately? Meanwhile FWIW here's the paper of record:
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/06/sam-mendes-says-he-wont-direct-next-james-bond-movie/
http://www.007.com/bond-24-news/
Hoping we find out who's next as soon as possible.
The ever revolving door keeps going round.
Well, how do rumours start? :) Because somebody starts posting them... ;) Probably not serious and reliabale sources... Other sources are in German, but presumably based on these sources...
