Classic Bond Forum

Just saw it last night at the Gibraltar premier, and I thought it was superb. Not as good as Casino Royale (at the moment), but much better than Quantum and Skyfall. Craig's best performance yet. He oozes cool in just about every scene, looking more McQueen than ever, and we finally have a Bond fil...

Staggering amount of massaging going into those budget numbers - still no Happy Ending in sight. :twisted: The spin masters offering up low ball total budget counting in tax breaks mixed with other ethereal credits is Hollywood accounting with no fact checking, good for publicity no studio wants to ...

What input Sony had was tragic still Craig was Babs choice before Sony was a factor. Sony did try to get Craig to give up the role with a 24 hour screen test, eventually he did give up telling Babs if that was not enough it was never going to happen. Danny boy was only one persons choice after it's ...

My brother, a professional photographer, mentioned the same thing about the natural light and the way it shows how Craig has aged significantly. He's aged the worst. The guy was old-looking from the get-go in CR and has steadily gotten worse, and to deny that is to be delusional. . I'm only going b...

LOL it looks like it's going to be even worse. I had conversations with two girl friends of mine in the US last night, both saying how utterly inadequate Craig is as Bond. And asking for Cavill to replace him. Both were equally outraged at the spoilers. OHHH a NEW batch of leaks today. The fun has ...

"The Amazing Spider-Man' 3 & 4 is delayed and though "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" made good bank at over $700m on a $200m budget since April, the webslinger's box office pull has been declining since Sam Raimi closed the "Spider-Man" trilogy in 2007".............."Sony's Spider-plans appear to be fal...

Rant 16 It’s Hip To Be Bond Two things near to my heart have been hijacked by “Hipsters” over the years. These are Fedora hats (Trilby to you Brits) and From Russia with Love. For those who are lucky enough to not know what a Hipster is. They are individuals who wear unfortunate facial hair “ironic...

There are several reasons to take action like this. One of them is to stop production long enough to avoid competition along with perhaps using the plot first. Other side of this is Sony had tried to win this script and failed, I wouldn't put it past them to be getting payback. Regardless this the n...

I went off Bond when it was officially announced they tapped Craig.

My complements Saint! This is one of the more fascinating threads on the web!

The books are travelogues,on the scale of world of travelogues Michael Palin is a wuss and Ian Fleming/James Bond is a blokes bloke. If Fleming's Bond had backed down because of his fears then I'd agree he'd be a wuss.

The movie's home base for filming will be Detroit. The state of Michigan agreed to provide $35 million in incentives in return for $131 million in spending by the movie in the state. http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130829/ENT02/308290050 Hollywood social consciousness kicking in.

Q, how did Man Of Steel do money-wise? Loss? Profit? Even? I doubt Warner is disappointed. At $650m they should be close to breaking even, certainly should with home video. Could it have done better? Probably. Given the situation they should be pleased with the results. However we should remember S...

If I were Affleck I would be on the phone begging Bale to come back :twisted: I don't have a clue what the studios were thinking the announcement alone was so mishandled it would be laughable if they were not serious. We can argue in circles about the merits of Ben Affleck as an actor, director, wri...

It's all the same with the Bond team -"we would rather be making real art instead of Bond!" "Bond is so exasperating and unfulfilling we have to take a break to do something that truly matters.." She said I does not think people realize how great an actor her Boy Lollipop is, he's not -at best he is...

[wave=red]Rampage[/wave] -We all know Fleming always intended Bond to be a berserker

Alex Jones went off on Piers Morgan on his show a few months ago. I mean just..ranting. Of course, Alex's fans were all behind him:"You showed Piers what for!" etc. etc. :cuss: Naturally they are buying the s**t he is shoveling to begin with. Must be hard work to find guest who make Piers Morgan lo...

Can't take these things personally. I've gotten plenty of warnings usually for calling Benny an ignorant slut :twisted: I'm not sure when Tommy Cruise is going to have time to do UNCLE, he's got several movies on the horizon. Sad but it may not see the light of day without him, it one of the titles ...

I'd love to put Willis on set of the one of these. Little Danny prancing around ringing a bell when he thinks it's getting to camp, then all the half-arse antics from Babs and MGW I could imagine how Willis would unload.
