‘SKYFALL’ TEASER POSTER: It’s Uh, James Bond. Walking And Stuff.

Oh snap! It’s a totally nondescript teaser poster for Skyfall  which to the undiscerning eye could pretty much be a poster for any of the Craig-powered Bondie flicks.

Twenty-Fourth JAMES BOND Flick to Drop In 2014; Will Danny Craig Be In It?

Now that MGM is done being bankrupt and shit, Sony and them are eager to start churning out the Jimmy Bond flicks. Skyfall  is dropping this year, and if they have their way they’ll be rolling one out in 2014. The only question is whether or not Daniel Craig will be back as the Man himself. If there’s a good Lord or Two above, they’ll get it done.

I like me some Daniel Craig as James Bond, and I’m anticipating Skyfall like woah. So with that in mind I’m pretty excited about the news that producers of the franchise want him for five more installments.

Next Bond Flick, “Skyfall’ Will Be Standalone Movie. Bonus!

The next James Bond flick, Skyfall, is going to be a standalone. This tantalizes my taint. I want my Bond flicks to be self-contained techno-sexual-suave wankfests.

Daniel Craig: Writer’s Strike F**ked ‘Quantum of Solace’, He Rewrote Scenes.

Daniel Craig is a hunky guy, and a great James Bond. So I’ll let him slide for not being an excellent writer. Dude says that the script for Quantum arrived just hours  before the Great Writer’s Strike of 200-something, leaving them in a bit of a pinch.

Face of a Franchise: James Bond

[face of a franchise presents two individuals that’ve fulfilled the same role. your task — choose the better of the two and defend your choice in the rancor pit that is the comments section]

James Bond is the most popular fictional secret agent of all time. And why shouldn’t he be? After all, the dude has pretty much set the archetypal standard for the Suave Spy character. He’s that perfect balance of gorgeous yet gritty, cutthroat yet clever. He’s a man capable of accomplishing any mission, whether it’s securing nuclear secrets or banging a smokin’ babe.

Of course, with nearly fifty years worth of movies under his belt, James Bond has been portrayed by a few different folks. In my experience, any Best Bond Debate usually comes down to two choices: whoever is currently portraying the agent and the precedent-setting Sean Connery. But truthfully, I think that this discussion can, and should, extend beyond Daniel Craig and Forrester.

For most of the 1970s and 1980s, Roger Moore helmed the James Bond franchise. Moore’s 007 is noted for being a bit campier and more lustfully-minded than other portrayals. Movies like Octopussy give us a Bond with gadgets that are kooky and dames that are sexy. Audiences ate up this depiction, and by the end of his tenure Moore would be known as the actor with the most Bond-years.

On the other hand, Pierce Brosnan reinvigorated the stagnant franchise with 1995’s Goldeneye. Some might argue that Brosnan injected new life into James Bond, giving the character a sensibility and usefulness in a post-Cold War world. The Brosnan-Bond could also be credited as having tempered the character, bringing him back to the idea of a man with a license to kill. Moreover, Brosnan’s involvement in the series also made possible the greatest first-person-shooter of all time.

So who’s the better Bond? Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan?

(Christ)opher Nolan Would Love To Rock A Bond Flick

Good god, Christopher Nolan would love to take a stab at a Bond flick:

via bbc and slashfilm:
I’ve loved the Bond films since I was a kid. For me, they’re always about the expansiveness of cinema. The first Bond films set up infinite possibilities about the world they create. I’d love to do a Bond film.

Christopher Nolan is my boy! My fucking homeboy. I want his Inception more than I want a Diet Mountain Dew. And I’m positively tremulous from lack of caffeine right now! Just kidding! Duh. I’m seeing the eyes of God amidst a pile of emptied aluminum.

I love Daniel Craig as Bond, and I’ve loved his two flicks in the role. And this is all despite the fact that I have almost no clue about what happened in the flicks due to the knotty, non-sensical plots. Can you imagine if Nolan and his brother got a crack at the universe and a script?

Yes please.
