    Skyfall (film) - James Bond

    Seriously, was anyone clamoring for this anyway?

    I think Bassman mentioned the problems the studio was having a little while back. I couldn't find it on the search feature though, so here you go...


    Financial woes reportedly aren't the only issues holding up Bond 23.

    *raises hand*

    Craig and this new "Reboot/Vesper" trilogy is the best thing to happen to Bond since Goldeneye. Although Quantum of Solace wasn't very good, Casino Royale is my favorite bond film right next to Goldfinger.

    And with someone like Mendes attached to direct, I was hoping for a nice closing chapter to the Vesper trilogy...

    Oh, there's no doubt that Casino Royale is the best bond film in avery long time but it just seems to me that the franchise is in decline, especially after the last offering.

    Waiting so long means not having it out there in "pop culture" and when it finally does roll around is anyone going to care? (excluding you of course )

    I mean 2014? Really?

    The bond series can never die, man. Think about all the ups and downs its already had in it's 50 year existence. Everyone thought it was dead after Connery's departure, Dalton's two films, Die Another Day, etc. QOS was a let down to most, on that I agree, but it wouldn't qualify as a decline, imo. One way or another, the character will never fade away permanently.

    If they can bounce back from Moonraker, they can bounce back from QOS.

    Word. I like having a new bond film coming out every 2 or 3 years. It's a nice, stable thing to look forward too. I thought QoS was pretty cool actually. Not great by any means, but I enjoyed it and I know many who do. Looking forward to the next one.

    But Daniel Craig's gonna hit Sweden now and do the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. So Bond's gonna have to wait I guess.

    Looks like 007 may be returning within two years....

    Now that MGM has the Hobbit up and running, they're looking for another company to partner up with for the third film in the Vesper trilogy.

    Yeah, there are some series that have passed the threshhold where they'll never completely go away. Maybe go on long hiatus. Bond & Godzilla are two for sure. F13th, Halloween, & NOES? Maaayyybeee...I would've said yes, but after the reaction to the remakes, I don't think any of them are going into full on series mode again. Probably going dormant again. Will they make a comeback (again)? Time will tell.

    I had heard about this movie, but not who was involved...

    Yeah, I haven't seen a second of footage, but I'm totally psyched for Cowboys and Aliens. Favreau directing Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde(hawt), Sam Rockwell, and Paul Dano? Script by the guys behind the Star Trek Reboot? High expectations for this one.



    Sci fi in a western setting. I'm surprised we haven't seen more of this...

    I'd rather they do a Remo Williams reboot instead of more new crap Bond. Roger Moore was my guy, I didn't like the new Bond movies so far.

    I like the Moore films for what they were, but most of them were WAY too cheesy to work today. They were more of a parody. Casino Royale brought it back to what bond is supposed to be.

    My only complaint about the Daniel Craig films is that he definitely feels like Bond during the action sequences, but I don't know that I buy him as Bond when he's trying to be suave and smooth. Realistically speaking, no one has been able to pull off both halves of Bond convincingly since Connery, but I thought Brosnan played a better Bond outside of the action scenes and Craig is a better Bond in them.

    Until the studio gets it's act together for another film, Bond fans will have books and video games.

    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

    It's official. MGM announced today that Bond 23 will begin filming later this year for a November 9, 2012 release. Sam Mendes still directing.

    YES!
