Godlike. His final Bond score was his best Bond score.
Nolan kinda proactively auditioned himself out of having a shot at Bond.Myansie said:It'll be interesting if Mendes does shoot a second Bond film. I thought the next movie would go to Nolan for sure. He'll eventually get the job, maybe Mendes will do 2 and then Nolan will reboot the franchise with a trilogy ala Batman. I'm getting ahead, looking forward to Skyfall, amazing it's only a year away.

Logan has impeccable credentials (including a Tony Award), but his one huge blemish is Star Trek: Nemesis. I'm always reticent to assign too much blame or praise to a screenwriter; this is especially true for Star Trek, in which creative decisions were mostly made by a cabal consisting of Rick Berman and a few others. I always wondered how much control Logan actually had over the story.polyh3dron said:understatement of the forever, that is if you're referring to John Logan.

That lady is gorgeous. I am ready for this movie.
Interesting. I guess the guy who wrote this, wrote The Aviator. I loved that. So the people behind this are solid, and the cast is amazing. Movie should be great.Scullibundo said:Completely original.

Tomorrow Never Dies, maybe?duckroll said:Is Skyfall the first Bond movie where the title has no origin in reference to any aspect of the Bond franchise or Fleming?

"If you're a Bond fan," Fiennes said, "then you'll be happy."
"I can tell you that John Logan has written a fantastic screenplay and [director] Sam Mendes is a class act. They're doing something quite special I think. I think they're going to be great for Bond."
Fiennes, who said he prefers the darkness of the books over the films, and whose first cinematic 007 experience was "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", was asked whether his character would be joining in with the action sequences. "I can't answer that question," he said. "I don't get laid, that's for sure."
AMUSIX said:I just hope we don't get that same interview that always comes up with every new Bond film. The one where the new Bond Girl says something along the lines of how her role is really taking a whole new spin on what it means to be a Bond Girl because she's strong and involved and not just arm candy. Every time I hear those comments, its just so apparent that these actresses have never watched a Bond film.
Sorry, you misunderstood. My assertion is that Bond Girls have rarely been just arm candy, but every time a new Bond movie comes out, the actress playing the new girl seems to think hers is the first Bond Girl to be more than looks.Solo said:It seems like Naomie Harris' character might be the change of pace you're looking for. But then again, neither of the two female leads in Craig's films so far have fallen into the "typical" Bond girl role. Vesper was layered and conflicted and Camille had a one track mind.....for revenge. So I think they've done a pretty good job with Craig's movies of moving away from pure arm candy/sexual conquest Bond girls.
Exactly....though I'd think that when an actress gets a role like a Bond Girl, she might want to go watch some of the earlier Bond Films...just for a bit of background. And, in doing so, she should notice that the typical traits of a Bond Girl are that they're independent, bold, active, and often successful. Except for Stacey Sutton.Solo said:Ah, I getcha. Blame that on society/media, who have perpetuated that myth.
That's one of the best things about Craig's films. I especially like that the Bond girls in CR/QoS actually follow their own story arc, in the sense that Bond basically learns that every woman he screws is inevitably put in danger. Vesper was obviously brilliantly handled, but I actually think his more brother-sister (sorta) respectful relationship with Camille was the most surprising of them all (and fantastic for finding a new way to help drive and develop the motivations of a deeply surface-inexpressive character like Bond).Solo said:It seems like Naomie Harris' character might be the change of pace you're looking for.

I'd love to read an interview in which Denise Richards makes that claim. I just might die laughing.AMUSIX said:Sorry, you misunderstood.

Heh, I don't consider Richards to be 'the' Bond Girl in that movie...that title goes to Sophie Marceau. Denise was just playing the Holly Goodhead/Plenty O'Toole role...only much, much less skillfully.badcrumble said:I'd love to read an interview in which Denise Richards makes that claim.

I may be in the minority on this, but I absolutely believe that The World Is Not Enough is even worse than Die Another Day - it's not as aggressively camp-awful, but it's the single Bond film that does the most to undermine itself at pretty much every turn.
WHAT.And Renard was everything that they tried to get Le Chiffre to be

Sorry, but I find Le Chiffre to be the single worst villain in any Bond movie. The guy is absolutely laughable with the meaningless bloody tears, and we are told from the beginning that he really poses no threat whatsoever. After all, he's so weak-willed that MI6 targets him as their best chance of getting someone to flip on SPECTRE.badcrumble said:WHAT.

duckroll said:I just read the press conference transcript. I hope they don't really literally mean it when they say that the film has no connection at all with the last two movies. Even though QoS was a mediocre movie, the journey of Bond's new rebooted origin kinda requires the concept of Quantum to be expanded on. If they just drop it... I'll be a little disappointed.
