In the latest issue of Total Film they have a chat with TF about CR being named one of the films of the decade. They too talk about the next Bond movie. They say they have sat down with the writters and thrown out alot of ideas, but at this point its far to early to know the end product will turn out as things constantly changed. When asked about the timetable the prods insist their is no timetable mainly due to the MGM situation as its hard to say anythings final whent he studio is in such a state of influx. Also asked about if Bond will go 3D following the Avatar revolution. An idea the producers seem quite open too but remain rather diplomatic in their answer.

The main points out of the interview seem to be that the MGM situation is affecting the production.

As long as they drop Arnold and go back to Fleming, I won't have a problem.

No. 3D. Bond. Ever. Period.

[marktmurphy]

So... pretty much no information at all with no decisions apparently being made.

[danslittlefinger]

I could see an opening chase sequence and maybe titles in 3D (imagine the CR ones with Craig walking towards the camera, would have been brilliant) anyway no worries if it's not but not the whole film.

PD - do you have a link. Didn´t find it. Thanks...

[Quantumofsolace007]

ok now to blow this out of preportion and add stuff.



Just kidding (I swear this time i'm kiddign Zorin)


I will say this though Thriowing ideas is great much better then "bond 23 isn't even a twinlke in the eye"


Mgm needs to get there Stuff fixed up and fast. Sure i'm impatient but name me a bond fan who isn't lol.



I'm curious as to what ideas I'm kind loving the idea of Bond going after smugglers (with it being hopefully based off of Ian fleming Diamonds are forever)


Yes Zorin i know the smuggler thing was an old rumour and it was drug smugglers not Diamond but still it's the only story rumour we have and quite frankly I like it.

Completely agreed.

Totally agreed. I'm still a little miffed that they decided to go with vulgar colour for Dr No and then had the audacity to do Panavision a few flicks later. Awfully vulgar.

If they want to go with a 3D Bond film, then that's their decision and probably one that they'll end up having to make in order to continue following the current cinematic trends. I won't see the film, though, and it'll be the end of my viewing new Bond films.

If they want to go with a 3D Bond film, then that's EON's decision, but I won't go see it.

Sorry - I'm in a silly mood.

If 3D becomes mainstream or the norm (unlikely) then Bond will be 3D. If it stays niche, then it's highly unlikely - Bond doesn't need that gimmick to pull people in.

[zencat]

Pretty much what they said at the USC event, but I think a script might be further along than just the idea stage.

i'm certain of that

you wouldnt even view them in their non-3d offerings?

No.

Once they venture into 3D filmmaking, even the non-3D versions of the film will still be filled with tons of moments where it's obvious they put them in for the 3D effects. I despise 3D cinema, and once Bond goes in that direction, I'm done with the franchise.

[CJB]

3D Bond...as wise philosopher William the Smith put it, "Aww hell naaaaw."

[The Shark]

3D? No, too much of a gimmick. Maybe for the title sequence, but that's all.

What I would really like is IMAX. Nolan used it brilliantly for the Dark Knight (the cinematography is easily one of the best aspects of the film), so maybe a few key scenes (or more), for a Bond film.

I'm with you on this one tdalton.

Hmmmmm. Traditional Bond title sequence in 3D...hummmmmm interesting (needs to get mind out of gutter).

Have you seen any 3D films since 1982? Dark Knight hardly had anyone waving sticks at the audience. I don't remember any sharks flying out of the screen in Up.

[Arbogast777]

I'm fine with 3D as long as we don't have Bond hitting one of those paddle balls at the audience

[Bucky]

3d does not have to be gimmicky. if it were like avatar where it is used to primarily give depth to the scenes then i would not mind that, especially when bond goes to beautiful locations.

[JimmyBond]

Uh...me. I have 22 great films to view if I need a Bond fix. The very idea of another Bond film coming out sometime in the future is enough to keep me going.

Um, that's because The Dark Knight was not done in 3D.

I was toying with saying "I'm asking rhetorically please i don't need 500 people coming to me and saying how patient they are" but i figured nah Most people would be interested in the smuggler part of my post and we'd discuss the value of a story from June.



Boy was I wrong.

[Matt_13]

IMAX would be nice.

Yeah, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Bond films remastered and released in IMAX.

Yes, I have seen several 3D movies since 1982.

And, of course there were no obvious 3D gimmick moments in The Dark Knight. That film was not a 3D movie.

[Harmsway]

3-D has been getting increasingly tasteful these days. CORALINE and UP both showed that 3-D needn't be full of "gimmick" moments (and I hear the same is true of AVATAR, where 3-D is used more for depth of image than to really make anything "pop out" at the audience). It all depends on who's in charge, and what they want to do with the technology.

Now, that doesn't mean I'm for Bond to be 3-D. I'm personally going to say that I'd be happier if they avoided it. But I don't think it's an inherently awful idea, either, and if used tastefully, it could definitely bring something worthwhile to the Bond films as cinematic spectacle.

[tdalton]

Until they come up with a way in which the 3D element actually adds something to the film experience, then I'll be very much opposed to it. Currently, even in films where it's supposedly well done (such as Coraline, although it's quality is very much overrated in that otherwise brilliant film), it adds absolutely nothing to the film experience other than the onset of a headache. 3D is nothing more than a gimmick, and I won't financially support a Bond film that makes use of it.
