  • re: John Barry. He had severe health problems at the time and wasn't going to be available.

  • FWIW, in the second draft of the script, there is no Aston Martin. Bond steals a police car instead. As a result, he and Kara get to the frozen lake more quickly (because there's no sequence showing the Aston in action). Once at the lake, an "ice…
  • re: gunbarrel. My view has evolved. I think the change originally reflected how Broccoli & Wilson wanted to put the stamp of it now being "their" series. In the end, I suspect they probably should have stuck it on the end of SPECTRE. Maybe then,…
  • Footnote: MGM in its financial report yesterday reported it spent about $15 million ($15.362 million to be precise) on severance for its ex-CEO, Gary Barber. Only question during Q&A came from a persistent investor who wanted to know how the …

  • FYI, MGM reported first-quarter financial results. The investor call had no mention of Bond 25. Not surprising, but passing along.
  • Forgive me for asking but is Vic Armstrong really confirmed? I read the website that stated this. It didn't describe how it obtained the information. It merely stated it as if it were fact.

  • To be fair, it has been almost 300 days since they announced the release date. While that's not even a tick of the clock in geologic time, it's not like the announcement was just the other day.

  • As an aside, we're on page 1500. Still no distributor, despite the release date being announced on July 24, 2017. Carry on.
