    Nothing major revealed in that. Good to see Ana De Armas and Billy Magnussen in the cast; I wonder will Magnussen be in more a comedic role as that's his area. No word on Waltz but that doesn't he won't show up in it as a surprise.

    It's strange they didn't announce the title though; unless they still don't have one.

    I like to see Billy Magnussen as a villain

    Ana de Armas is smoking hot. I'm sure she's a talented actress also. Rami Malak looks about as villainous as Mr.Tumble.

    I dunno, I think he can do that creepy unhinged thing quite well. While I don't think he should've even been nominated for Bohemian Rhapsody, even his pre-recorded speech on the live broadcast was kind of unnerving!

    Was hoping they'd bring back Bautista for a bit of old school menace.

    Casting looks a bit too 'woke', unless they put Moneypenny back behind her desk. The plot will probably reference climate change or the Windrush scandal no doubt

    Well that didn't take long.

    really not liking the idea of malek as the villian not a fan at all

    rest of the cast looks good

    If Malek is playing a Silicon Valley tech genius (as I think pixelburp speculated earlier in the thread) then an extra injection of wokeness might be kinda fitting given how much those guys love to cloak their activities in cultural progressivism. I can imagine Malek surrounded by a bunch of female CEOs and drone pilots lecturing Bond on his toxic masculinity and white privilege while the killer laser beam gets closer to his crotch.

    Synopsis:
    Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

    I think the 'laser to the crotch' trope is a bit transphobic, because it assumes all men have male genitalia, and having them removed shouldn't be seen as torture.

    I didn’t think anyone could come up with a worse idea for a Bond villain than a Blofeld who is just insecure and jealous of teenage Bond’s relationship with his own father, but this comes pretty damn close.

    It's been posted in a few places. I assume there was a press release sent out.

    Spectre basically copied the Austin Powers 'reveal' that both Powers and Dr Evil were long lost siblings. By that reckoning, Malik could be Mini Me.

    I like it. Sounds like an old school Bond plot. It's all been a bit too personal the last few movies.

    And as long as Ana de Armas isn't the scientist. Denise Richards was bad enough.

    Ana and Denise can be whatever characters they want as far as I'm concerned. :p

    A man has been charged with voyeurism following the discovery of a hidden camera in the women’s lavatories at Pinewood Studios, where the new James Bond film is being shot.

    Peter Hartley was arrested by Thames Valley police last week and charged over the weekend.

    A statement said: “Thames Valley police is investigating a report of voyeurism, which was made from an address [on] Pinewood Road, Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire. A 49-year-old man has been arrested in connection with this incident and remains in police custody.”

    It is not known if Hartley is connected with either the studio or the latest 007 film.

    hopefully Craig can go out with a bang with something nearer the excellent Casino Royale than the rest of the other muck that he has been involved in.

    The poker section in Casion Royale wonderfully broke up the movie and turned out masterfully in terms of pacing.

    from the synopsis though I won't raise my expectations too high.

    Although if Malek is cast in an understated calculated sort-of-way as opposed to some overtly psychotic antagonist (as has been the wont of the directors in the last few) it has a better chance of working.

    being honest mission impossible with the ensemble cast approach has worked a lot better in recent times.

    When I think of Casino Royale, its the scenes in the hotel in Montenegro that I remember.

    Despite the huge action pieces in Madagascar, Miami, Venice etc... It's Bond, Le Chiffre, Vesper and the poker game that elevate this movie above most.

    Bond has become Bourne since then.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭Acosta


    Yup, the poker scenes and what happens in between is arguably the best sequence in any Bond movie. It's pure classic Bond.

    While the rest of the movies didn't live up to Casino Royale, their all very watchable and mostly enjoyable. Watched Spector again recently and thought it was better than I remembered it form the first time around. Skyfall is very good, but all the hype around it at the time was annoying. It's nowhere near the best and neither is the song.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,553 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dades


    I find them all watchable, really. But Casino Royale had that class to it. A great villain and one of the best ever Bond girls.

    Loved the Skyfall theme, but that Sam Smith one.... goddawful.

    worked so well as I said - notwithstanding the fact that the actual play would not happen in a real top-level poker game :)

    yes none come even remotely close to Casino Royale. watchable but very forgettable even for Skyfall which I found really annoying. the last 20 minutes / ending was dire.

    Spectre was mostly rubbish but the carnival day of the dead scene was fantastic

    I doubt we will see another good Bond movie with Craig.

    Grace Jones was supposed to make a cameo role in the film, but she quit on arriving at the studio, when she found that she only had a few lines.

    well she always was and still is a bit of a Diva!

    great candidate for one of those snicker's ads.

    The only actor Roger Moore couldn't speak fondly of during all this time in the part.

    she had more testosterone than that African runner.
    “Still, we had yet to do a love scene together. I slipped between the sheets. She slid in beside me, bringing with her an enormous black sex toy. Very funny.”

    that is actually kind of funny on her part!

    While it is probably true... I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't considering it came from a tip-off to a Daily Mail entertainment reporter :pac:
