‘Bond 24’ News: Official title is ‘Spectre’, dropping Nov 2015, cast revealed.
Here’s a whole fucking panoply of news regarding the next Jimmy Bond flick. It’s dropping next November 6, its title is Spectre, and its cast is tremendous.
‘Bond 24’ News: Title and cast revealed on Thursday, shooting begins next Monday
In a world of ever-expansive media hype, it takes more and more to garner the ocular-mush plates of us pop culture whores. We must be herded, constantly, like fucking goats. So it’s come down to this, and I’m wallowing in it like a pig and shit: announcements that announcements are coming.
‘Bond 24′ Rumor: Christoph Waltz is playin’ classic villain Blofeld
I’m about to show what an ignorant turd-huffer I am when it comes to Bond. There are rumors that Christoph Waltz is going to be playing Blofeld, who is a classic villain from the franchise. Anddd…I don’t know the dude.
Christoph Waltz all up in ‘Bond 24’
Is there anything you wouldn’t want to see Christoph Waltz in? Oh, Green Hornet you say? I ain’t never seen it but I appreciate your contribution. My personal response? Fuck naw! And I definitely ain’t opposed to seeing him up in my favorite Spy Flick Franchise.
Dave (f**king DRAX) Bautista cast as ‘Bond 24’ villain
Good for fucking Dave Bautista, man. Dude was one of the biggest surprises in Guardians of the Galaxy for me, proving to be more than an ass-kicking wunderkind. Then news broke that he’s going to be all up in Avengers 3. And now the dude is going to be holding it down as the villain in Bond 24. Wonderful news for the Beefy One.
‘Her’ and ‘Interstellar’ cinematographer shooting Mendes’ ‘Bond 24’
Say what you will about Skyfall, I think we can at least agree it was fucking beautiful. So when word came out that cinematographer Roger Deakins wouldn’t return for Bond 24, frowns were understandable. However! Perhaps dry those tears, folks. ‘Cause a wonderful replacement has been found.
PENELOPE CRUZ is probably JOINING ‘BOND 24’
Bond 24 continues to coalesce into an actual thing. Hot off the news of a potential villain being cast last week (can it be hot off the press if it happened a week ago?), is the news that Penelope Cruz is joining the flick.
Chiwetel Ejiofor up for ‘BOND 24’ VILLAIN. I can dig it.
That talented son of a bitch Chiwetel Ejiofor may be taking his talents to the World of Bond. Which is fine by me. Fuck, any film that casts the dude is taking a step in the right direction. But having him throw down with Jimmy B is a particular shade of delicious for this spy-loving fanboy over here.
F**K ANXIETY: SAM MENDES likely directing NEXT TWO BOND FILMS.
Someone must have mashed-up some of my anti-anxiety meds, and put them in Sam Mendes’ mashed potatoes. The good sir has gone from being like “I want to puke when I think about directing another Bond” to likely helming the next two installments.
SAM MENDES not directing next JAMES BOND FLICK. I frown.
I’m the token Skyfall masturbator around here, and I don’t give a shit. No one likes it as much as me, and I generally accept their criticisms. Even with them acknowledged, the combination of Daniel Craig whupping ass and Sam Mendes’ gorgeous visuals had me sprung. So, it is with a heavy heart that I read this dispiriting news.
Now go bring in Christopher Nolan, MGM. Do it.
