Be careful with this train stuff though, don't let it get too far in the foreground; we don't want audiences fleeing the screenings in terror.

A drunk doing a double take is good though. Some light relief whilst people get their gin from the foyer.

If I were to suggest Nolan as director, it wouldn't be because of his batman films, it would be because one, he's British, two, he's a Bond fan, three, he's a very talented director and 4, mommento.

Now on the CBn main page...

Danny Boyle Shuts Down 'Bond 23' Rumour

'I enjoy the Bond movies, always have and always will, but I have no plans to direct one.'

[danslittlefinger]

Wasn't this rumoir shot down yesterday by this?

[Quantumofsolace007]

Yes but bond 23 rumours are few and far between these days. I would love for some bond 23 NEWS. but C'est la vie. I think in a few week we will get a rumour of a bit more substance.

Yes. That is included in the above article. The statement to WENN was referrenced in that IMDb link.

Yep, I posted that link in this thread two days ago but it was still something to give people something to talk about.

[Vauxhall]

Admittedly I'm repeating myself, there but still seems to be some misconceptions about this story. No article has actually stated that an offer was made to Boyle to direct BOND 23, simply that the producers were considering him - which is probably true, given that they are aiming high for directors these days. In that respect, this is pretty much a non-story. For all we know, an official offer will be given to Boyle in the next few weeks, and he will accept (although this is clearly unlikely in the extreme).

"I chose NOT to drink a Vesper martini.Who needs reasons when you're a British Secret Agent?"

(yes,I've seenTrainspotting a few times. )


I like Boyle, but I think it was a slow rumor day at the Sun for them to publish such an article.

[Turn]

His saying he wasn't interested is the biggest non-surprise. Nice of him to say a few positive words, at least.

Shouldn't whoever is doing the next theme rumors be making the rounds about now?

[honour]

Yeah, nice that he was complimentary, even though he's not going to do it. For a second, fans of Boyle and Bond were excited.'Till they realised it wasn't happening,that is.

[Quantumofsolace007]

I am curious to see how the next 2 weeks will pan out if we will get more rumours of bond 23 or not. I'm still waiting for the sun to release that bond 23 is risico and the Sean Connery and Al pachino are involved and playing gay lovers rumours.

[scottish peasant]

Loved Shallow Grave.

Trainspotting was OK.

28 Days Later was great.

Slumdog was overrated, but clever in the updating of Dickensian story telling.

I'd personally like to see a character study, much more along the lines of the Moonraker book (I like the little details of Bond's daily life and noir-ish detective story). MF could have pulled that off if he had been chosen further into the reboot films, but definitely having to come right on the heels of CR.

Perhaps Boyle could pull this off, but if he opts for all action, shaky camera work and quick cuts it will only further the Bourne comparisons. But then again, that type of story wouldn't support that style, so...

[Blofeld's Cat]

The only movie of his I've seen is SUNSHINE and enjoyed it so I would have had no objections to Danny directing Danny in a Bond movie.

Does it matter? CBn's not allowed to post an article a day after the story was posted on IMDb?

The people who comprise the CBn Team have lives outside this site. Give them a break.

[Captain Tightpants]

I think he meant more in the context of wondering why people are still discussing Danny Boyle as being a serious potential directorial candidate despite his having already shot down the prospect of doing BOND 23, as opposed to questioning the punctuality of CB.n staff.

[Zorin Industries]

Quite. And since when did IMDb become some Biblical archive of all that is correct and current about film? It's a joke. It's only current because people put things on there from other sites and news services. It is far from being used or even perceived as some industry standard.

And they won't even get my details right, the swines!!

Actually, I'm more concerned about the origin of it: The Sun, a newspaper we all know to be slanderous when it isn't outright lying. But people still took it seriously because hey, we'd like to see Danny Boyle do a Bond film! That'd be great! So let's ignore the history of the paper reporting it and its habit of inventing news to sell copies because it's telling us what we want to hear!

It happens every time a baseless rumour comes out that is actually something Bond would do well to see happen for real. But when it's rubbishy actresses saying they are the next 007 girl none of us take any notice of a story that is as unfounded as this Boyle one. Papers print what they want.

I'm waiting for Frido Pinto being the next actress rumour....I'd put money on that one...(but again - it would not be a bad move for Bond, so hence it will get airtime and oxygen on sites such as this - true or not).

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

D[censored] it! I would so like to have seen what Boyle could have done with the Bond franchise. Oh, well. Maybe later perhaps??? I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.

Even bad moves get discusion

Search On the Quantum of Solace board for the olsen twins. 2 pages on that Obviously untrue and frankly stupid rumour!

[Vauxhall]

Most rumours seem stupid in retrospect. Having said that, as Bond fans we have to be prepared for anything, no matter how ridiculous it may sound. For instance, "Madonna to cameo as Bond's fencing instructor" would scream tabloid trash. Alas, sadly not.

[Quantumofsolace007]

This is true. Which is why I treat Jennifer Aniston's comment with an open mind as is it Possible yes probable we'll see. Plus it's fun to discuss rumours and things will get really interesting when tabloids begin saying bond 23 is definitly "risico" or "The Hildebrand Rarity" then we'll really get to have fun and argue is this true/possible or not.

Jennifer Aniston as a Bond girl.... No, please. (Tabloid rumor, thank god!)

[Quantumofsolace007]

Anniston is better then the usualy tabloid fair associated to 007 (olsen twins Al Pachino etc) Not ideal (I'd prefer Jessica biel who nearly got a job in QOS) we'll see all i'm saying is hopefully the next few months will have lots of bond 23 rumours and news.

I disagree with the statement that Jennifer Aniston is better than Al Pacino.

In which event are they competing?

[Quantumofsolace007]

FIne I still say anniston is better then the twins.


and i hear they are both in Celebrity gladiators

It was a contest to see which one of them would look better in Princess Leia's slave girl bikini.

Aniston was declared the eventual winner. But Big Al ran her a close second.

And Judo Chop was not even in the top 10. Too hairy.
