The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

[Kristatos]

I read on that a.n.other Bond site that DC has stated that he is going to produce a biography in the not to distant future, because he says there is a lot of rubbish written about him, and he wants to straighten things out.

I wonder what rubbish he is referring to?

Apparently, some people have accused him of being short and blond These outrageous allegations must be put to rest immediately.

Shaken, more proof what a loser he is and what a moron "Bore-bara" was to covet him and create the current mess.

I've been having a problem writing replies to threads recently..............after i've typed a few lines, the page scrolls up and down rapidly making it hard to see what i'am writing...anyone else have this problem?

I get that a lot. As I am writing the page moves up and I have to lower it down. Also, I have to keep re-logging in a lot too.

I removed our Google Analytics code. Let me know if it helps. I don't know why it would cause any problems unless it forced page reloads.

All he has to do is read this forum to get the facts as they are, not his delusional view of himself. By the way, who would read DC's book and who would bother to see it as a film? Certainly not MP or Ale or FBF? Maybe Sweeney and Stocks would do both.

LOL..I'm sure he's thinking about optioning the movie rights..as if!


My brother was talking about the movies he wants to see and at one point he said "I want to see Cowboys and Aliens". I told him from what I've heard it wasn't a very good movie.

"The Daniel Craig-starring and Sam Mendes-directed film was originally due to begin shooting this autumn, but it looks like a January start is more likely, according to Deadline.com."

[katied]

OK. let's start taking over/unders on how long it takes before there's an announcement about Bond 23 not coming out 'till 2013?

[bjmdds]

If it's 2013 they cannot promote a 50th anniversary film and if it's delayed, DC is gone.

[Mazer Rackham]

Yes....i know Craig persuaded Forster to make the movie (though we all know Forster didnt really want to), but the producers still could of said no.

I wonder if it was his idea to get Mendes on board for Bond 23, seeing since he worked with him on 'Road to Perdition' ?

Anyway, i hope, and think Mendes will step upto the mark for Bond 23!

Yes. Craig was determined to get Mendes, if he were to have quit Mendes name would have dissipated. On thing in his favor is Mendes had years to prepare even if there was no script and no go date. Although if there were serious about closing down India's railways for six days they're nuts.

Craig writing a bio? Why? most of what is known about him comes from his own mouth, although there is nearly half a billion spenpent to shape his image into something other than an embarrassment, maybe this is what he take offense to. I can't imagine a bio by him being much in demand unless he quits in spectacular fashion and/or Bond 23 is a spectacular crash and burn. Otherwise he is not a compelling individual.

In the US Dr No was first released in May 1963 hell the only place that got Dr No in 1962 was the UK if I remember right.

Rooney Mara had to turn down roles in late 2011 because of her commitment to The Girl Who Played with Fire which also has a 2012 release date. The Trilogy Director said Craig's scheduled was incredibly tight and the Bond people were very generous with Craig, meaning Bond 23 delays truly hurt them (EON) there is next to no room for error. They should of recast after the delay and moved on. EON has never been so committed to one actor before.

Sean Connery won the role of James Bond after producer Albert R. Broccoli attended a screening of Darby O'Gill and the Little People. He was particularly impressed with the fist fight Connery has with a village bully at the climax of the film. Broccoli later had his wife Dana Broccoli see the film and confirm his sex appeal. Still, for publicity purposes there was a contest to find the perfect man to play James Bond. Six finalists were chosen and screen-tested by Albert R. Broccoli, Harry Saltzman and Ian Fleming. The winner was a 28-year-old model called Peter Anthony http://cache2.asset-cache.net/xc/803886 ... 76DDC8B732 who looked the part but completely lacked the acting technique to play it. At first Eunice Gayson was to play Miss Moneypenny and Lois Maxwell was to play Sylvia Trench, but they switched roles.

"The Daniel Craig-starring and Sam Mendes-directed film was originally due to begin shooting this autumn, but it looks like a January start is more likely, according to Deadline.com."

It looks more and more likely that Bond 23 will start shooting later than expected, as obviously not being able to shoot the train scenes in India, then having to move the production to South Africa must cause all sort of problems and delays.
The Bond films over the years have been beset by these problems of having to move filming locations due to countries not giving position for filming.......
TND not being able to film in Vietnam, and LTK where the story had to change, due to filming not being allowed in China, spring into mind.

Well i hope these late changes dont affect the finished film due to less time being availble to the production team.

Had to share this:
The Radio Times have also made a spoof video tie-in for Let's Kill Hitler, based upon the popular Downfall meme :
I had not laughed so hard since Hitler reviewed QOS.

On a serious tone BJ and everybody over there stay safe.

Yes, those Hitler downfall parodies are very funny...can be seen on YouTube as well!

Latest news on Bond 23 being reported is that the Train sequence is still hoped to be filmed in India but at another location, filming of said sequence to be either January or February next year...........also apparently there is another chase sequence to be filmed in India.
South Africa is also still a filming location.

Report also states that Bond 23 has a budget of $135 mil, which if true is a massive reduction on the excessive budget for QOS, and is also less than the budget for CR and DAD.

If the budget is that much cheaper for Bond 23, yet still to have some big action scenes, then it makes you wonder where the cutbacks have been made.

http://cache2.asset-cache.net/xc/803886 ... 76DDC8B732 This is Fleming's view of how bond should look. What Bore-bara is doing is desecrating Fleming's franchise with Danielle.

Wow this picture of Jobs!

How did he keep working as long as he did!

[Omega]

The Freida Pinto rumor is back. I saw it on another movie site I don't know why it is back since she says nothing about being approached, asked, given a script, in talks, anything.

CvA is not going to make money I blame Hollywood from making a gold plated bomb instead of fast fun movies for under the cost of Titanic. But does this mean Craig is not a big enough draw to do anything outside Bond? Is it down to he picks crappy movies and needs to find a new agent.
