  • This was one of the things I adored about the Craig era. Perfect balance, I'd say. PPK in hand, DB5, appreciation for good old stuff, but no problem on blowing up his family home and wrecking his beloved car. A fully fleshed complex character, as it…
  • Jake should be making decent dramas instead of Marvel and Bronson type films. Hope he gets a better project soon. Hell of an actor doing some wrong choices, IMO. I could say the same about Crowe, if I said it 20 years ago.

  • I'm sorry but the line about the world changing but not Bond was said by Fleming himself in an interview. Had I the time, I'd fetch it. But I'm quite sure. If not the CBC interview, some other later on. edit: Ok definitely not the CBC one. If I find…

  • Yep, my thoughts exactly. Great potential.

  • For people who are doubtful of Callum’s presence and overall masculinity and thoughness, I’d recommend watching Clooney’s new film and Apple’s new show.

  • My bad on not reading all the previous posts, @peter. I suppose I meant a page one rewrite under a new tone and vision, a realignment if one must. I’ve been a clinical practitioner on a number of scripts, and I’ve never been called if it’s a tight a…

  • Thing is, most of the time another writer is called because something within his or her area of expertise isn’t working and needs a so called polish. So it’s only fair to assume that it isn’t a good sign that a script needs that many “doctors”. Of c…

  • I watched The Boys in the Boat the other day, and I must say, I am in full agreement with my friend @Denbigh on this one. Would make for a brilliant Bond, on all accounts. He's probably my number one on a very small list now. Actually, scratch th…
  • Wverybody keeps focusing on younger actors for a youner role that would suit larger production schedules and more years between films. Why not more actors in their 40s for less films each and with no coninuity between instalments?
