Shooting begins on 12th February 2014. I'll post a full time article soon via my blog if we gather some information about the plot.
Summer 2016 is more appropriate for MI5. I originally root for Christmas 2016, but Avatar 2 will release at that time.
Agreed, FBF!

I don't think so. I know that b1tch is up to something, and she's very clever. She'll do anything to make Bond 24 to gross higher than SF. Like you said, we should let those minions and the brainwashed zombified general public to bow down to their god as the Imperius Curse is TOO strong. It's pointless to hope that we'll get our James Bond back. What we need to worry about is November Man, which needs to annihilate and break every bone within GE even though it will never beat SF's numbers.

The question is not whether Cruise and Pierce will triumph over DC but whether November Man will break every bone in GE's body. M:1-5 is secured for success, but for Pierce's return in the action realm, it's going to take a lot of guts for NM to destroy GE in every department. As for James Bond, it's now for those who don't care about how he looks like anymore so we're going allow them to feed their money to the b1tch for their own stupidity.

I doubt it. Since there are lots of Tom Cruise haters, and lots of Bourne/CR-egg garbage, I think B24 has got more of a chance to be a box-office blockbuster (cough, cancer, cough), so yes, B24 is bigger than M:I-5. But, my money is still on M:I-5 as I won't be seeing that Mizz Broccoli's balderdash and scratch my brain with a 2:30 hours of mind torture.

It's not about looks all the time, FBF, as the personality also has to be relevant, too. If the character lacks the sexist attitude, the manly behaviour and the alpha male reactions along with the charismatic sense of humour and one liners, then indeed Bond/CR-egg is for minions.

Not to mention, fellas, The Secret Service by Matthew Vaughn will also be released in 2015. So, that's another rivalry to EON Productions as Mark Millar created Secret Service to show the producers how a spy flick can be done!

Granger, a Chicago journalist who went on to write another 27 novels, made it clear that he had no time for the extremists on either side of the sectarian divide in Northern Ireland. He wrote a series of a dozen sequels to The November Man, starring the main character, Devereaux, an American spy often likened to George Smiley and James Bond, who became the mainstay of his dozen other spy novels.

Writing in The New York Times, Newgate Callender said that in The November Man, Granger had ''combined Ian Fleming, John le Carre and Trevanian into a heady mix'', adding, ''he handles all the elements with real virtuosity''. (FBF, Pierce has a gold mine here with sequels galore long past Cr-egg exits the Bond role. Your dream has become a reality. It took 11 years, but NOW we have it :!: ) :cheers:

Okay, I didn't make it past 8. The page title says it all, "What Culture?" clearly they have no culture if they really think "Skyfall was the best and adopted the traditions of the franchise back and modified it". Really? What's going on with people?!

A bit later than anticipated, "Dallas" still will restart all the usual drama at Southfork reasonably early in the new year.

Season 3 of the TNT reboot will begin Monday, Feb. 24 -- marking the first time in the history of the franchise, including the original 1978-91 CBS run -- that a year of the serial will begin without J.R. Ewing present as a major character. He died last season ... as did his portrayer, Larry Hagman, a year ago while those episodes were in production.

That doesn't mean there still isn't enough scheming to go around, though. The sons of J.R. and Bobby (Patrick Duffy), John Ross (Josh Henderson) and Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe), remain at odds with each other -- reinforced by their romances with the woman who's now an ex of both of them, Elena (Jordana Brewster).

Agreed. It does not compute at all. I mean, what? Why don't they go and appreciate their so-called idol Daymone/Bourne and call CR-egg the Bourne-ified man instead of expressing some balderdash involving words such as "adopting the old elements from classic films" or things like that... shows them they have clearly no understanding or have never seen the old Bond movies, and have no idea what Bond is and what is he capable of. That's absurd.

Well, LTK was hardly a Bond film, BJ. It was a great action movie, would've been awesome for Sly or Arnold, but not Bond. Bond would never go rogue, as that is considered being a treason.
