heckfire. seemed to be a bit 'Teal and Orange'y but i might be imagining it.

the film-makers have definitely seen Inception.

looks very english

Looks alright.

I see Mendes was taking notes from Tinker Tailor.

that is crazy t&o

looks pretty dope imo, i like the less-frenetic style. not as down on QoS as some folks but it was def too bourney.

QoS had some great location choices in that the plot _was_ the location. Unfortunately the bits more reliant on dialogue and emotion were not as good.

I felt like The International, which came out the following year, had some similar issues.

roger deakins is the DP on this and it looks great

The guy certainly has a resume.

see a helicopter fly through tower bridge on 9 june. probably for this.

what if the bad guy turned out to be skynet

You can't say those things first thing in the morning, s1ocki. God, I need more coffee.

Lol

On a random note, I feel like Casino Royale succeeded _despite_ Paul Haggis being one of the screenwriters, because damn, can I not really stand that dude's work.

btw s1ocki does the email you've got connected to your ilx account work? Going to be in yr neck of the woods next week, may collect on that coffee.

yup yup

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

looks fun tho

blondem

sweet move at 2:15

cant believe james bond lost the extra special usb drive with all the spies on it and now they're on youtube

lmao

looks like it was m that actually lost the flash drive

i hate that movies now have to be all like "you think you know fear... this guy is the scariest guy EVER!!!" cuz of course he's not going to actually be

its cool how that was deflated as soon as we see bardem in his blonde wig

idk man that kinda skeeves me out

be cool if they just pulled walken's zoran wig out of mothballs

it made me think of chris walken as max zorim

beaten...

In that 2nd pic he looks like Lance Henricksen with collagen injections

Or octomom with a new haircut and dye job.

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

OTM oh shit I wrote that

“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..."

they allegedly used a bunch of tarantino's ideas in the 06 CR

i hate that movies now have to be all like "you think you know fear... this guy is the scariest guy EVER!!!" cuz of course he's not going to actually be

lol totally, he looks like a fred armisen character

gotta give it to him for being consistent in playing bad guys with weird hair

lol totally, he looks like a fred armisen character

^ actually thought it was Armisen for a couple seconds while watching the trailer

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.

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

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

QOS sounded good on paper - shortest Bond ever, I think?, pretty kickass Bond girl, etc. - but Forster just bungled the action up too badly.

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

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.

my heart's beating a little faster just reading that

I thought that was a super Bond-y plot twist tbh

also I <3 Mathieu Amalric, but I remember his villain being pretty damn pathetic.
