  • As Bond fans, at least we have a confirmed release date, a lead actor, and the fact that we have scripts being written. Try being somebody like a Star Trek fan. Since the last film came out in Summer 2016 and underperformed, there's been next to not…
  • I'm lucky enough to have met Mr Shannon personally on a few occasions. He has a theater in Chicago where he still performs and directs occasionally. He's just about the nicest guy you'll ever meet but plays the best villians and over the top charact…
  • Sites to always trust are Deadline, Variety, and Hollywood Reporter. Everything else has a wait and see approach
  • I wonder if certain things like locations and some action scenes line up so that no matter which script they go with, some things will be in place no matter what
  • Just a thought. If they need a few extra months because of this script situation, I wouldn't be opposed to having the film release February 2020. Black Panther (among others) have shown that a big film can succeed with a February release date. Obvio…
  • Well we all wanted some news this week. This certainly qualifies. Very interesting. Even if P&W script turns out the winner because it's the better idea, I hope it wouldn't be judged as a "2nd choice" It should be an intriguing few months

  • I think the days of thinking a quality American director not being able to do Bond justice is a thing of the past. Bond is loved worldwide but even an American like myself knows that a huge part of that love is Bond being British. If the director ha…
  • I will say, the only director who can move this secretly between projects is Nolan. No cell phone, no email. Very few leaks about his work ever. You never know what he's up to. It could be a reason the press has been quiet on the director front sinc…
  • Can't believe all the negativity I read on here on a daily basis. I agree the filmmakers have to give us an overall better product than Spectre but...seriously guys have a little faith. Glass half full, you know what I mean? I have full confidence t…

  • I haven't gone through this thread so forgive me if it's been said, but in LTK, when Dalton yells "Della!!" In an otherwise fantastic performance, I can't believe Glen let that one stay in. Not sure if if was bad ADR but it almost ruins a powerful m…
  • All you guys talking about continuity and things like that are some of the same people who criticised EON for connecting the Craig films. Although god knows that should have been handled a bit better. But my point is that continuity is more of a thi…
  • Sad news today from the Bond gaming world. Visceral Games, who developed many of our favorite EA Bond games, was shut down today. I had been looking forward to their Star Wars game and had obviously loved their Bond games and Dead Space franchise. …
  • Went on the online shop to check out the shirts. Outside of that great JAWS shirt, it's pretty disappointing. I do hope whoever gets the franchise will do some more merchandising. It's a real untapped market. Because what they have is pretty meh …
  • Reactions are coming in for Blade Runner. Seems it's living up to the hype. Man I hope Dennis hops on Bond 25! He's essentially a Spielberg/Nolan type who is just hitting their peak. Get him before it's too late
  • I loved it! It really looks amazing considering it's CBS. The All Access thing sucks though. I really don't want this becoming normal. But the first 2 episodes were really something I want to keep watching so we'll see. I hope no matter how it does …

  • BREAKING: Episode IX needs a new director http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/09/05/star-wars-episode-ix-colin-trevorrow-out-as-director My prediction: Rian or JJ will return to finish off the trilogy. Can't imagine somebody new coming in to handle…

  • While I love a lot of their films, some days I do wish to go back to a time before Marvel made everyone obsessed with timelines and shared universes. Bond is timeless, just how I like it. It's how it survives

  • My question to the Arnold haters, when you listen to his TND or CR scores (which I consider his best), what do you want in those scores that you don't get? I think they're close to perfect. I don't see what another composer (even Barry) could have d…

  • Going into a film knowing it's the last one is not something we've had. This is awesome for Craig. It'll be great for marketing too
  • Interesting that somebody like IGN or other gaming sites haven't reported on this. This seems like a solid enough rumor to at least report on. Unless they know it's coming and are just waiting for E3
