  1. i saw DMC being thrown around for quite some time as well 

    CR & Qos were Fleming titles so predicting them made more sense

     

    I can see Portarait of a lady or Risico even being more possible as the title than DMC

     

    re: Bond girls 

    Dan mentioned he'd love to work with my girl Rose Byrne :wub:

    + she tested 4 CR & she was @ his Broadway premiere so I have high hopes for my dream to come true

     

    Some very interesting actresses were either tested or considered for the role of Vesper Lynd, including Angelina Jolie, Vera Farmiga, Olivia Wide and Cecile De France. From what I understand Jolie would have been cast had she not been pregnant at the time.

     

    Rose Byrne would be an amazingly smart choice for a Bond Girl. It's interesting to look back at the Bond Girls that could have been: Raquel Welch for Thunderball; Faye Dunaway for Octopussy; Monica Belucci and Sela Ward for Tomorrow Never Dies.

  2. The titles for the last ones (at least Casino Royale and QoS) were known with plenty of time in advance, though.

     

    That's true for Casino Royale. There was a press release in Feb. or March. of 2005, I believe, that also detailed Martin Campbell's return as director. QOS was rumored as a title when a website discovered that SONY had registered the domain name. The title was not confirmed until the press conference in January(?) 2008. I think that since GoldEye most titles have been revealed at either a start of filming press event or the announcement of a new James Bond.

  3. In 7 months will get the official press release and filming will start a few weeks later. I guess a director will need to be chosen by August at the latest.

     

    If history repeats itself, as it has for the last four Bond films, then we will get a press release by mid to late summer detailing the director and, at least, some of the actors attached. In the fall there will be a press conference revealing the title, a basic log line, filming locations, etc. Production could then start as soon as a few of hours later or begin a couple of weeks later.

     

    I'm really hoping for a 2014 release. The news that Mendes is not returning is actually a good sign that production will start sometime this fall/winter. Most spoilers or casting news is probably days, if not weeks, old.

  4. With Mendes not returning we may get Bond 24 in 2014. Although, a revelation to us, I'm sure that this decision was made weeks ago. EON Productions has to have a shortlist already composed. The obvious choices based upon the precedence that Mendes set are Danny Boyle, Tom Hooper and Christopher Nolan. I wouldn't discount 'journeyman' directors like Stephen Frears or Roger Mitchell. Frears was attached to direct the Bond Girl spinoff film, "Jinx" and Mitchell left the production of "Quantum Of Solace" after being overwhelmed by the production schedule. I would welcome Martin Campbell's return.

  5. IMAX 'Skyfall' gives museum lift

     

    PEOPLE had a new reason to visit Shanghai Science and Technology Museumduring the Spring Festival and his name was Bond, James Bond.

    The museum is showing the latest 007 flick, "Skyfall," using its IMAXtheater.

    It's the first time it has used its IMAX screen, the largest in east China,to broadcast commercial film. Showings began on February 10 and run toSunday.

     

    "Skyfall" has earned more than US$1 billion at the box office globally. InChina, the film has made around 400 million yuan (US$63.5 million) since itsrelease on January 21.
