Suivez_ce_parachute wrote: "Silly" and "naive" are strong words, if in the mean time you ask us to consider the current development time for Bond 24 is "0" - "almost a year already" may be closer to the truth :) I'd agree it's not "0" at a…

Germanlady wrote: How on earth did Sony only get 30 mill? Where did all the profit go then? I think it would be more like $50m for Sony in pure profit. From the $1b dollar box office, I'd estimate it would work roughly like this: 50% ($…

Yates would be the safe-pair-of-hands option. He's a very capable director who, given a good script, will craft an excellent film. Refn is too left-field, I think Ang Lee would be an attempt at Sam Mendes 2.0 but Lee has a sketchier track record,…
