Had no idea (or more likely had forgotten) Bardem was the baddie! My expectations are high.

They need to quit being so cautious and let Tarantino direct one, someday.

“The reason they did Casino Royale all comes down to me,” Quentin said.“I made it a point, I said I wanted to do Casino Royale. They were already on record as saying the movie was unfilmable but then after I said it and talked about it for a little bit — then the big thing on all the internets was that that was what all the fans wanted to see and so that’s when they said, ‘Oh, maybe it’s not so un-filmable.’“Actually if I had done the film, I wouldn’t have done it with Daniel Craig, I would have done it with Pierce Brosnan.”

yeah, that would have been great

I'd be up for a book of interviews in which Tarantino takes credit for other successful films he didn't make.

Tarantino talks about how he would have filmed Ben Hur: "Like, yeah. Instead of chariots, they would have been racing 70's muscle cars..."

gotta give it to him for being consistent in playing bad guys with weird hair
^ actually thought it was Armisen for a couple seconds while watching the trailer
― I DIED, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
tbqf this movie looks dope and it appears to be a pretty cleanly directed flick, with none of that that marc forster jiggle cam shit from QoS.
― omar little, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 07:08 (eleven years ago) link
watched QoS again the other night and still think it rocks bells, meanwhile Mendes is the biggest cunt on god's green earth and i am wildly cautious
― Shrimpface Killah (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 07:10 (eleven years ago) link
a lot of work has gone into making Bond super awesome again and i can see it being pissed away in one long windy makes you think monologue
― Shrimpface Killah (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 07:11 (eleven years ago) link
QOS sounded good on paper - shortest Bond ever, I think?, pretty kickass Bond girl, etc. - but Forster just bungled the action up too badly.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 1 August 2012 07:44 (eleven years ago) link
it also had the lowest stakes of any bond ever iirc... didnt the bad guy want to like corner the bolivian water market or something
― joaquin haus-partizan (s1ocki), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 13:54 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, they pretty much set up this shadowy organization and the villain was a member using their resources to corner the water market. It was kind of an understated "DON'T YOU SEE oil isn't the only valuable resource" plot.

I thought that was a super Bond-y plot twist tbh
― keeping things contextual (DJP), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 14:47 (eleven years ago) link
also I <3 Mathieu Amalric, but I remember his villain being pretty damn pathetic.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 1 August 2012 14:53 (eleven years ago) link
It was really not a great Bond film, but then I can't conceive any Bondometer that scores Craig higher than Brosnan, so..
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 14:55 (eleven years ago) link
borsnan
― goole, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 14:56 (eleven years ago) link
yeah roman polanski jr. was a crummy villain
― Hungry4Ass, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 15:00 (eleven years ago) link
I thought Brosnan was a good Bond, but the films became very much late-period Bond where there's more goofy shit and gadgets than intrigue and seduction. The action is cranked-up to new levels in the Craig films, but I feel like the "blunt instrument" angle of the new films is a good departure.
QoS having an understated threat is kind of a non-starter when you remember that Casino Royale's main section was about beating the investment specialist of a criminal organization in cards to try to turn him. The exploding plane section was more intense, but it was the setup.
― your native bacon (mh), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 15:24 (eleven years ago) link
If anything, the water plotline of QoS was taken directly from the news: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Cochabamba_protests
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 17:50 (eleven years ago) link
I hope whoever decided that what Bond needed was ripped-from-the-headlines verisimilitude got thoroughly sacked.

you could probably make a good bond movie about bolivian water stealing or whatever, but it would just have to be like, written better, and directed better
― Hungry4Ass, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 22:06 (eleven years ago) link
i haven't watched the new trailer yet; i hope badem's good: i see him & he just seems like the exact same villain they have now, like a well dressed pouty guy with serious hair. they should mix it up a lil. get a really big, comely & charismatic guy. or a cool talking animal. like a tiger. the action in james bond films now just seems to be him running over terracotta tiled roofs & through narrow fruit stall littered streets.
