Despite whatever your feeling for Daniel Craig may be, unless you are one of hisās most rabid fans, you have to feel heās gone past his expiration date, there is a palpable feeling that most fans have moved on. It would be absolutely foolish for EON to bring him back now. Here are a few…
It has been said many times before on this website, but it seems many folks just still don’t seem to get it. We do not hate Daniel Craig and this is not a Daniel Craig “hate site”. Sure we don’t particularly think Craig’s hiring was a good bit of casting, but this site is…
I know what you’re thinking, after 14 chapters over several months what more do you have to say about this film? Well plenty, some random thoughts, and some things that I couldn’t really include earlier because it would have upset the flow of the narrative. At times, as I was writing I felt…
Establishing shot of London at night, I know it’s London as I can see the London Eye, the river Thames with its iconic bridges, and especially because I can see Westminster complete with Big Ben, also because once again āLondonā is plastered across the bottom of the screen! Cut to a door with…
…or āBrother where art thouā or āCain and Able brothers in espionageā or āBond Civil War, Brother against Brotherā (I could go on all day but Iāll spare you) Craig being knocked unconscious at the end of the last scene, leads us toĀ cut to a bright light, a bright pink shape begins to come…
An old adage goes, āNever meet your heroes”Ā (as youāll be disappointed); in this instance the same can be said for villains. The inexplicably luxurious Moroccan desert train pulls away, revealing our two newly minted star crossed lovers in the middle of nowhere. Apparently none of the railway officials or local authorities have any…
Now begins the homage to the Connery era portion of our program. Interior Orient ExpressĀ (or a cheap approximation of it), Craig hands off his white dinner jacket (wink) to a porter asking to have it pressed. Iām amazed to find Moroccan desert trains to nowhere have full service valets, whereas if you asked for…
Open on our intrepid (or is that insipid) duo of Craig and Swann walking through the streets of Tangiers, we know its Tangiers because once again the auteur Sam Mendes provided a label at the bottom of the screen. At least this time Iāll concede we werenāt told several times, in a multitude of…
We find Craig winging his way to Piz Gloria, err I mean the Hoffler clinic. Now begins the OnĀ HerĀ MajestiesĀ SecretĀ Service (OHMSS)Ā rip-off in earnest. Craig still sporting the ridiculous knit cap and tight snow suit, trods up to the front doors of the clinic with a large overnight bag. He makes his way in to the…
As Craig wafts to the ground and minces away, MP knocks out a quick Google search from her kitchen table, for Hannes and Franz Oberhauser. Ironically she finds this: Rather than this: Is it me or does Oberhauser Sr. look like a Photoshop creation, like a computer drawing of someone who…
Having just crashed through a large window and leaped off a second story balcony, Craig sprints head long to his DB10, to the sounds of the NFL Filmās sound track, donāt believe me? Listen. Now compare that to this clip, just close your eyes and listen to the music. Craig squeals out…
We find Craig winding his way towards the top secret meeting location of the reclusive Spectre organization. Where does this mysterious organization no one has ever heard of meet? A long abandoned subterranean cavern once used by the illuminati to plot the assassinations of Emperors? A secluded villa, far off the beaten path where…
#neverCraig #CrExit As it says in the good book you will hear of rumours and rumours of casting rumours.The 007 casting rumour mill has been full speed since our hero Daniel Craig said he rather slash his wrists than play Bond again, and if he did one more outing it would only be for the…
I thought I was far too optimistic with the last headline (re: Calling it Quits), and indeed there was some walk back, along with the expected undying support from EON (poor Babara always a bride at the alter waiting for her 007.). Craig has a mammoth payday from SPECTRE ($24million (Ā£15.66m) for acting, around $6million…
Call it the curse of OHMSS (Spoiler SPECTRE is essentially a remake of OHMSS). Lazenby walked away from the role before the movie could be released cementing his time as bond before it really began. Craig has made noises that Spectre is his last. He has made similar disgruntled noises in the past after each…
Please check out the full review here. The upcoming James Bondmovie teaser is online and, at first glance, looks more like a bleak vampire movie trailer than exotic escapism, which was once the franchiseās beloved trademark. What ever happened to the humor and charm that characterized any James Bond adventure? Spectre trailer takes itself…
A few months ago Daniel Craig ,your favourite actor and ours, without a word of warring dropped out of the small independent production āThe Whole Truthā mere days before filming was supposed to start. This understandably upset the everyone involved whoās schedules and perhaps livelihoods were thrown into chaos. In one sense it was…
Bond director Martin Campbell (age 70) will be directing the remake of cult classic BlakesĀ 7 for the SyFy channel. Some of our staff are not so sure about remaking this series,Ā how do you feel about the potential BattlestarĀ GalacticaĀ treatment for Blakes 7?Ā discuss in our forum. Deadline.com—FremantleMedia is launching sales here in Cannes on the…
Some understandable criticism for Bond 23’s mimicking of a real life funeral ceremony has erupted. Not to treat this situation too lightly, we do not know how it will appear in the movie, and after this public drubbing it may well never see the light of day. Discuss this in our forum: Bond faces criticism…
Movie icon Burt Reynolds weights in on James Bond. Once considered by the studio & Guy Hamilton as a replacement for Sean Connery. Burt talks to GQ about Cubby Broccoli approaching him for the role, his refusal and later regret. In Bond lore there is another legend about Cubby resisting the studio’s pressure to hire…
