Turns out that the Malek-pic (scene from Papillion) came from a fake NTTD-trailer someone made and that twitter guy 'Rob B Movie Cult' first thought it looked cool but has now deleted the tweet after I reached out to him asking about the clownface.
In here all you guys debunk every fake thing out there, but morons on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, tabloids are generally stupid and can't identify the fake ones. And suddenly we have an explosion of fake bond news
I have a bunch of very irritating Malek-groupies in my twitterfeed. If they pick up on the clownface, they will spread it claiming it's true followed by "OMG oh no love Maleks face love him love him" plus stupid emojis, hearts and whatnot
Ah Mr Bond - I've been expecting you, my friends call me Safin, but you can call me "Bomb Voyage". This is from Papillon isn't it?
That said, I now want a mime as a Bond Villain!
Finally, the Batman/Bond crossover I've always wanted.
Just remembered that if you have Google Earth it tells you the date of the images and you can go back seeing previous aerial images. The aerial photos were taken on the 29th of June.
Although watching Spectre again recently I actually got a bit bored of it: every time Bond turns up there's a quote of the theme! :) Except weirdly for the one time you actually want a nice big statement of it- when he appears in the plane flying next to Hinx's Land Rovers!
I actually passed a guy wearing one of these this week! I was walking past the set of the new Guy Richie movie.
Lovely, thanks!
+1. Joker was exactly the first thing I thought.
That's why we got many videos/comments about "Daniel Craig shouldn't have been replaced by a woman".
Yeah,
Yeah, true....i think with a theme song like You Know My Name....the absence of the bond wasn't even felt. Arnold knew he needed a worthy theme to stand for the bond theme.You would have ever imagined the gunbarrel without the bond theme. But you know my name was that good. It's just like the Living daylights that had A-ha's upbeat theme, where has everybody gone & if there was a man by the pretenders. And they all made it into the score. So the bond theme was used sparingly. And i think Arnold overused the bond theme in tomorrow never dies because of Eric Serra's avant-garde approach to scoring a bond film making the bond theme appear subtly in Goldeneye.
I was always think CR could've done with a big, proper statement of YKMN- like if he'd just played a nice full action version of it during the airport chase rather than just mickey mousing along to everything that happened onscreen.
Right you are....that would have worked too
All depends on the weight of the story. Cinema has changed. You can’t just build a big set and put a load of bad dudes in it anymore. Don’t get me wrong, hollowed-out volcanoes are joyously insane, but audiences are beyond superficial spectacle these days. CR was ‘spectacular’ imo, because it carried so much emotional resonance.
Maybe that's in the next iteration of Bond. I'd like to see a return to the better elements of the Moore films, but informed by the quality of the Craig productions. A good balance of levity, drama, wit, and bone crunching action. EoN have some really good experience under their belts. As much as I love Nolan, I'd rather see something lighter. I think we've had quite enough navel gazing.
Regarding Bond with cohorts at film's end that would work well for Craig. All his films continue a measured focus on Bond, at the same time building the original film formula. Returning Moneypenny and Q. Arrival of the warrior henchman. The global plot. Blofeld himself.
Continue with items like the full-out assault on the villain's lair, another natural.
Great observation and its something that could be incorporated in future Bond movies if done correctly. I think Bond-with-cohorts adds to the scope of the movie and enhances the risk of the villains plot. TB, OHMSS and YOLT did it well but TSWLM did it best while at the same time drawing attention to Bond's naval past.
There are so many elements from the previous films that could be updated for the modern era that were largely ignored during the Craig era in favor of a more introspective and narrower approach.
I think Bond works on a wider canvas and this current era (great as it has been) has shown the limitations of the introspective approach resulting in EON and P&W suffering from burnout (or so it seems). The potential offered by CR has not been fulfilled. I for one hope that NTTD rectifies this and Bond #7 enhances on the good work of this era thus far.
This!
That’s overly hysterical. The argument for the gun barrel is that it should be a given -and it should always open the film. There’s no reason not to use it. It’s Bond. Pure and simple.
Unless you're watching..........NEVER.............NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN.....................NEVER...............NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN.
Exaggerated yes, but my point is I think we sometimes put way too much stock on Bond tropes. I remember when CR came out it wasn’t uncommon then that a fan would give it a lower rating just on the grounds of stuff like main titles lacking naked women, no Q or Moneypenny, etc. Thankfully I don’t see much of that anymore, once the dust settled for CR at least.
I'm certainly a strong supporter of tradition, formula and Bondian tropes. I do like things mixed up once in awhile and the Craig era, particularly CR found a clever way of shaking up the formula. I never notice the lack of Q or Moneypenny when watching CR. I do notice and lament Q's absence in LALD, though.
It’s not going to be like Spectre which consisted of insert car chase here insert fight scene there.
I think bond does get captured for a portion of the film though. Possibly the porton down sequence.
EON did return to the Moneypenny and Q tropes and the M briefing, so I guess those of us who yearn for that stuff aren't so much on the wrong. ;)
Also, having those elements won't prevent you from making a great story. That's where the writing comes in.
