I agree on Burton. He would have been brilliant, although as @Univex wrote earlier, I'm glad we got Sean. Where Eagles Dare reminds me of a Bond film in many ways. Burton as Bond and Eastwood as Felix!

I get your point @matt_u and hopefully you'll forgive the sarcasm. I realize all those elements are sprinkled throughout the film (not too subtly for my tastes I might add). More than anything, those points carry back to CR and Vesper, and that's wh…

Ok @matt_u, it was a misinterpretation. Silly me. I obviously saw it incorrectly. You're right. There's only one way for the viewer to have interpreted that ending in 2015.

Wasn't David Niven in fact one of the preferred choices of Fleming? I recall reading that somewhere. I believe Cary Grant was, and Richard Burton was apparently approached as well. All very different actors with different styles.

I'm pretty sure I read Fukunaga state recently that he doesn't like to repeat himself (it may have been in relation to a discussion about True Detective, not sure). I don't foresee him doing another one after B25.

Temime said she was not returning some time back. If she's said nothing else since then, I think it's reasonable to continue to assume that she won't be back (thank goodness as far as I'm concerned!).

I actually watched it last night. I love the first half up until Aki's death, but from there on I always lose interest and last night was no exception. I'm afraid this is a Bond film which continues to decline in my estimation, despite its iconic se…

Is Temime really back for B25 @PanchitoPistoles? Dear lord I hope not.
