They won't necessarily be celebrating the 40th anniversary, they simply have a list of classic titles that will have some anniversary in 2025 and for which they're considering to do something. It's obvious that they won't get a 4K transfer next year…

A Sean Connery collection is planned for June 3, according to captures from a supposed Warner PowerPoint presentation. The row at the bottom applies to their quite infamous tradition of using anniversaries to repackage an existing disc into a new “e…

You can put Peter Hunt as the director, as he was offered the gig first and turned it down, because Lazenby wasn't back. IIRC, Hamilton returned because the plan was to have a plot involving Goldfinger's identical twin (a returning Gert Fröbe) who'…

Falk and Cassavetes may have handled some of the extra scenes that allowed the episode to be supersized (you can spot them easily, they add nothing to the plot, but they're very fun). Colasanto still appears to have directed the bulk of the episode,…

And the next guy will also bring something genuinely fresh. That's why most of our guesses and propositions must be way off. It should be quite obvious that EON won't hire a Daniel Craig Jr. (or the splitting image of Roger Moore or a Sean Connery …

Some actors have mixed feelings about playing Bond. Dominic West, for instance, who auditioned for Casino Royale, has said contradictory things in interviews. At some point, he said that he wasn't really interested and dropped at the audition in cas…

Clive Owen may have had the looks but he lacks some range. He's good in parts where he's supposed to be moping or he's reflective. But you can't imagine Clive Owen jubilating or celebrating, because he's always doomed and he can't sell euphoria or h…

Mick Herron has announced a ninth Slough House book for next year, but it also looks like he's close to finishing the series (as you can't reasonably make a character such as Jackson Lamb live that long).

Slow Horses has been renewed for season six.

Bad Sisters is an exhilarating dark comedy, based on a Belgian miniseries. This is about four sisters plotting to kill the husband of the fifth (who is an awful human being) and failing miserably each time one of them makes an attempt. As the husban…

It's on Apple TV+, which few people have, despite the service having regularly offers for two or three months free without having to pay anything later, that kind of stuff. Slow Horses is slowly getting recognition. Will Smith won an Emmy a couple o…

I'm a little surprised that there is so little conversation about this terrific show, which has just completed its fourth series, with at least two more (one officially, the other already in active development) coming. It's not supposed to be Bon…

Prince of Persia 3D PoP 3D, from 1999, was the only Prince of Persia game from the main series that I hadn't played around the time of release, as it was only available on PC, then ported to Dreamcast, while I've been a Mac (PoP, PoP 2), Nintend…

Anybody can edit an IMDb entry. Provided that the info is not irrational, it will stay on until someone corrects it. So, the 2026 release date is nothing more than a guess by some random person. Credits tend to change frequently there until a film p…

Season 5 of AD was awful, and I say this as someone who loved the original run and enjoyed the ambition of season 4. The pacing was way off. Original AD would cram a lot of jokes into one episode, with some foreshadowing that easily went with the f…

Glass Onion is a little what would have happened if the villain from a Bond movie was a bore full of himself and completely shallow with Bond fulminating that that’s the kind of guy he’s supposed to fight now.

“KK gave”? What is this nonsense? If this particular arc comes from somebody, it’s Ford. He was the one who pushed for instance for the scene in his NY apartment where he’s just wearing drawers due to the heat and he said in interviews that it was…

Paramount wouldn't sell many more copies of their boxsets in the next few years if there are only four movies in it. The definitive version needs to include the five titles. And given the initial contracts between Lucasfilm and Paramount, Lucasfilm…

We had the same kind of deal between Warner and Universal over the 4K Craig boxset, while the studios didn’t have any kind of particular partnership. While Disney and Paramount at least signed a deal to get Indy 5 made and may have settled issues su…

Remember that for the prequels Lucas didn’t want to direct and approached a bunch of big name directors such as Spielberg, Zemeckis and Ron Howard who all told him to handle them himself. They knew that even with their status in the industry it woul…

Given Lucas' instincts at the time (Spielberg managed to curb some of his worst ideas), would have it been a good thing?

The main issue that Nolan had to deal with in Oppenheimer is similar to what Clint Eastwood faced for Sully. Chesley Sullenberger had an uneventful life before and after his heroic achievement, which lasted something like 15 minutes. If you put i…

It has flopped because it's gone woke. These critics are right. If it hadn't put a female character so much to the front, if it had featured a traditionally heroic male role model (with more horse riding), this movie would have made $155M in a singl…

Yet, there are a few things that sound clumsy about the death of Mutt. Mutt was born around 1938. He was 19 at the time of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 1957. The Vietnam war escalated at the end of the sixties when mass deployment of US troops st…

Her brother, Andrew, was a location scout and an AD on 2001: A Space Odyssey. He came up with the background that's used for the first part of the film, and for some of the footage from the psychedelic sequence. He's also directed a couple of films …

I guess that it was a combination of things that got MGM to cancel the project. And MGM was slowly backing out of film production at that point. After the collapse of his Napoléon, Kubrick needed a quick gig to reestablish himself. Warner was the…

Outside of Casino Royale, which got a couple of reissues, there's only one Blu-ray version for each of the titles, using the Lowry Digital restorations. A few titles 80s-90s titles used an early digital transfer which had too much noise. So, they l…

The character of Helena could have written better regarding her motivations, as there's little continuity. She's done her PhD on the Antikythera, yet she's just interested in the artefact to make money and pay off her debts by selling it to the hig…
