The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

Like I said, it's just wishful(fanboy) thinking Oh, and you know by saying that about Angelina being M that it will be bandied about elsewhere

They are selling QOS for £7 in Tesco, maybe it is not selling.

Film 2009 with Jonathan Ross was like a Quantum of Solace advert this week for some reason. The tv spots declaring it the 'Best Bond Ever!' are almost surreal.

They must be REALLY desperate if they're selling it *that* cheap

Sounds like he's turning into his predecessor. Barry Norman, towards the end of his time on Film YYYY, became notorious for letting his personal friendships with cast and crew members cloud his judgement on fillums.

Or else Ross was being paid off. I wouln't put it past EON quite frankly

With Barry Norman it was a mildly serious film programme. With Jonathan Ross it's more like a generic showbiz news type show.

No sooner does Quantum of Solace arrive on Blu-ray and DVD and fans are already discussing when Daniel Craig’s third James Bond film will hit the silver screen.

Craig himself made a brief statement about Bond 23 in Monday’s issue of Metro when he was asked about Dame Judi Dench and her involvement in the 007 series.

He stated: ‘[Dame Judi] is great. I’m sure she will be back when we get rolling again next year.’

Unfortunately, this line still leaves the question regarding Bond 23’s release date open-ended since when exactly production begins on the film in 2010 will greatly influence the release date.

Sony was eyeing a 2010 release date for Craig’s third Bond film, but producer Michael G. Wilson has since stated that a 2011 release seems more likely.

In an interview with IGN, he said: ‘I would think that we’d bring it out in two-and-a-half to three years [from] now, I guess. It’s hard to tell until we get working on the script [which is scheduled to take place in January 2009]’

There's already been a lot of fanboy speculation about directors, and possible Bond girls.Not that that is anything new

Wonderful news. Let's get Craig back with his tough, evolving, thug, humourless Bond that was so popular in Quantum of Solace. Why not let Daniel Craig write and direct Bond 23?

[katied]

According to MG Wilson, no significant work has been done on Bond 23.IOW it's gonna be a while,and yet it'll still be cr*ap. suggestion #1 for MGW:New writers. Suggestion 2:Get a direction whose style suits the films.I do wonder sometimes if he reads what people are saying about who should direct and considers it.

Eon could care less about anything except their own arrogance. Once the box office drops, they wake up.

An interesting section from a new Michael G Wilson interview;

http://www.cinemaretro.com/index.php?/a ... OVIES.html


Wilson acknowledged that the production of each film is a frantic period and that Eon delivers the finished movie to the studio with relatively little wiggle room to make changes. He said this actually works in Eon's favor because it precludes studio brass from ordering wide-ranging alterations to the films, as there simply isn't enough time to enact them. On the other side of the coin, he expressed frustration that the tight deadlines have compromised Eon's influence over the title song. He said that in the past, the composer of the song worked in consultation with the filmmaking team. In recent years, however, Eon had little or no say over the song, which has been delivered so late in the process that the producers have to accept whatever is delivered. (Although Wilson did not mention any specific song titles, one would not be going out on a limb to assume it includes the dreadful Another Way to Die from Quantum Of Solace.) Wilson also explained why Eon tends to use writers and technicians who are veterans of the series. He said it is very time consuming to bring on new talent and wait for them to assimilate into understanding Eon's methods, as well as comprehend the company's philosophies of how the Bond character should be presented. He also said that he doesn't let fan or media bias deter his creative instincts. He acknowledged it was frustrating to read the widespread campaign against Daniel Craig after he was signed as Bond, but never wavered in his belief that the end result would be that the public and critics would embrace him. At the end of the session, Wilson took questions from the audience - which is often a recipe for disaster at fan events because seemingly every eccentric within ten miles is drawn to the microphone like a moth to a flame. However, in our first indication that Bradford draws serious and mature film fans, every question asked was appropriate and interesting. One in particular hit the mark when someone asked Wilson why he allowed the action sequences in Quantum to be edited with so many fast cuts that it robbed the scenes of any suspense. Wilson acknowledged that they were attempting to please modern audiences who are used to that style of editing but did not outwardly endorse the style. He said that Eon always experiments with different filmmaking styles that the director may favor - and that by the time the first edit is done, there is precious little time to make radical changes.The only news Wilson broke about the next Bond film is that there is no news at all. He said there had been no significant work done on the next entry.

That whole article is LOL worthy


"Assimilate into understanding EON's methods?" More like brainwashing them into dullness,IMO

An interesting piece. I note that he is distancing himself from the dreadful "Another Way to Die".

As well he should

[bjmdds]

He admits he could care less about the media and fans ideas and that it does not affect his 'creative instincts', YET he did do fast cut sequences because the audiences like that . A confilct of sentiment Mikey. 'Please modern audiences' by giving us a proper new Bond NOW!

He should assert himself more,but with his kid sister Babs in charge more than he is ,that ain't going to happen
