Eon seems to film Bond on the fly these days. How do they start filming without a final script and not have their locations finalized BEFORE they start shooting?

I thought it was awesome. Probably the best superhero film I'd seen since Spider-Man 2.

I like it a little better than Begins, but I still prefer Dark Knight and Rises.

I knew the Sweeney felt strongly about this Superman fiasco, ala Rockum-Sockum robot relentless fight scenes, with buildings being demolished constantly.

I hope that there will be more Superman and U.N.C.L.E films, just to keep Cavill away from Bond.

If Cavill becomes Bond at MGM's request to Broccoli, will you abandon the franchise for good or embrace it with Henry?

The same can be said with Mike Fassbender and all other traditional classic, tall and dark-haired actors as long as Babs stays.

I admit that Cavill would be a step in the right direction. Such casting would be like going from Negative (Craig) to Neutral (Cavill).

To paraphrase my favourite Bond...

"As long as you're in charge of casting, we'll never see the classic Bond return." / "Then I must step down."

Upon hearing that take on it, I suppose it is actually very similair to the action scenes from The Avengers.

The Avengers is a much better film to me with more colorful characters to watch. Superman-Zod was a bit too much to watch.

Weekend Report: 'Taken 3' Scores Third-Highest January Opening Ever. The Taken franchise ended on a high note this weekend, as the third and final entry opened in first place with an excellent $39.2 million. He outdoes Brosnan's NM by a mile :!: FBF, what can you say comparing the two actors box offices?

Compared to Liam, Pierce is underrated.

Amy Pascal still has the support of many celebrities. The list of supporters supposedly includes, Tyler Perry, Jack Nicholson, John Singleton, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie.

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots..there's a blast from the past! :mrgreen:

I didn't watch all of it but my parents wanted to watch something while we ate dinner, so we watched.. Casino Royale. The only draw it has for me now is [s]Hannibal[/s]Mads Mikkelsen :happy spin:
