It also looks like whatever was happening in Norway was somewhat action oriented
I thought I saw Craig carrying a pistol in one of those street photos a few weeks back? Am I imagining things?
We could be in for a set-piece in Jamaica, but maybe it's not of the high-octane, boom boom, vehicular destruction kind. It might be something smaller - fist fight, gun play, foot chase etc.
I love those colors - hope it’s in the movie.
As for all the doom and gloom lately, I’m unbothered. We knew the film wouldn’t shoot with a finished script. The media is just hating on Craig and the film at this point more than anything else.
The foot chase in the beginning of QoS counts as an action setpiece, IMO. An action scene would be the fight on the stairs in CR or the fistfight in the train in SP.
All thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs. Fair enough.
I don't see much distinction between the two when it comes to definition, personally. But I digress...
Either way, I'm happy with something smaller and more tension based, especially in Jamaica. Bond outwitting a mark or an assassin after his meeting with Felix, for example. That kind of thing.
Maybe that's the role Rami Malek is playing the angry media with social media =))
Hahaha; we’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully he’s more of a threat than just that!
Cary posted that yesterday, then announced they had wrapped in Jamaica today.
Could that been a bit of a wrap party for the cast and crew, and not part of the film?
Steady on - journalism is a brutal business these days and beggars, frankly, can't often be choosers.
"They have an outline of plot, but dialogue is all last-minute. It’s not the way to make a movie." Bull. It's far more important to have the plot nailed down than the dialogue, which can be far more easily changed without impacting the budget or locations. If the crew want to rewrite lines at the last minute, that's nothing to worry about. Rewriting the plot is what you have to worry about.
Agreed, that's probably why QoS ended up being a better movie than SP. The former's rewrites pretty much only included the dialogue but the plot was set in the stone, with SP they had no idea what story they wanted to tell.
If anyone should listen to the show tomorrow? Let us know if anything is said?
Will do!
Listeners can also send in questions for Rory to answer, if anyone has anything to ask.
@QuantumArt did I say I was comparing I just said we don't know how many people are fans there are alot of Bond fans alot of Marvel fans and Star Wars fans to say we know how many is foolish could there be more these fans then these fans we don't know we can try to guess but we don't know for sure I'm not delusional you were missing the point. I mean yeah you can look at Box office numbers but that just for the fans who show up to theaters some people are just fans of the old films and some were apart of the franchise and are waiting for DC to leave. The end of the day who really gives a rip as long as everyone is happy and keep making good content for the movie public. No one is delusional it's all opinion based. And not a really fair comparison its multiple properties into one big one vs big single properties its apples and oranges.
That is not journalism. That article - if I can even call it an article - is not journalism. It's a speculative piece of drama, poorly written, on a poor platform, on a tabloid. Journalism is not a brutal business these days, journalism mostly doesn't exist these days. These days, as you say, all you get is the likes of fake news, click bait innuendos and trash/destruction pieces. The language these so called journos, with degrees from the thousands of journalism degrees out there, use, is frankly appalling. And their sense of morality is as steady as a windsock. Same can be said for many other liberal professions. I get that the new gen working on these new platforms brings a new vision on the matter, a myopic one IMO, but to see the likes of Baz giving in to the new order of things is frankly embarrassing. The guy is old enough to know better. If he was good enough we wouldn't have to beg, as you say.
That being said. I trust the writers and their comments on the script. No good writer would talk up a bad script if his or her name was directly linked to it.
I'm in good spirits about Bond25, no washed up journalist with a trash piece is going to change that.
From Russia with Love (a Bond classic) also wasn't without its problems and needed some skillful editing from Peter Hunt in post to make it work. And Dr. No's villain was originally going to be a monkey!
@BonSimonLeBon_1 didn't Director Terrence Young crash into the lake in a helicopter filming the end of From Russia With Love too and he kept working like 30 minutes after the incident?
Yes he did indeed. And whilst scouting for locations for YOLT, Broccoli, Saltzman, Gilbert and Ken Adam missed their flight to check out another potential location. Their original plane crashed, I think with no survivors.
Yeah I remember that from the documentary.
That's true
Here we go again... "This is completely normal, nothing to see here! Disperse!"
For the umpteenth time, there is a huge difference between starting filming with a more or less finished script, and then doing small rewrites during filming AND starting filming with a completely unfinished script and having to write a significant portion of the script after filming has begun.
But it is all speculation and rumors so far. Why directing any anger at all? There will be a new Bond movie out next year (no speculation) and that should make us as fans happy! We all should judge after we‘ve seen the final movie.
None of TEH DOOME UND GLOOME has been confirmed.
Why some of us here start panic any time a so called "scoop" comes up is beyond my comprehension. That includes the latest, ahem, news from this Baz character.
Why is it so hard to say that yes, there is a real possiblity that Bond 25 will be bad, but it's not the end of the world?
@PanchitoPistoles is right.
There is a sense of confirmation bias here. People will believe the news when it suits what they want to hear.
However, there is reason to be skeptical about Baz this cycle. He missed pretty much every major Bond 25 casting scoop - something he excelled at with both SF and SP. The only news he broke was the re-involvement of Seydoux (which he only got from an interview with Fukunaga). Furthermore, his scoop about Nyong'o was buried so deep in a news article that it hardly registered (perhaps a sign that he knew it wouldn't pan out).
The truth is, Baz is very reliable. However, I suspect his connection with Bond came from SONY. Now things are run by UNIVERSAL his scoops have dried up.
I don't doubt that Bond 25 is being rewritten. I do doubt they only have an outline. I suspect that Waller-Bridge has finished her work and Fukunaga is working overtime in the evenings and weekends getting the scenes into shape.
In Fukunaga I trust
His last actual scoop is now 4 or 5-year-old. It’s totally fair to consider that he may have lost his insider status since then, and that he’s now out of the loop, something he would then be reluctant to admit.
+1.
There's no reason to panic, but at the same time you can't blame Baz for expressing his concerns about EON's modus operandi.
What did you expect Pnachito ? The amount of bias here is incredible, as soon as something negative comes out about everyone’s favourite franchise, they all go into denial. I wish these people could look at things from a broader perspective and see how immature they are
