James Bond Reviews, Interviews & More
Just a little caveat before we start—don’t expect Christopher Nolan to direct Bond 24. With Interstellar on the horizon, it just can’t happen. OK, continue.
Following the long, uncertain gap between 2008’s Quantum of Solace and 2012’s excellent Skyfall (with Skyfall being delayed due to serious financial issues) one would assume that MGM and producers of the James Bond films would be rushing the as-yet unnamed 24th Bond film into production, especially because of Skyfall’s runaway...
As recently as mid-February, news was coming from the James Bond camp that the director of Skyfall, Sam Mendes, would be returning to direct the as-yet unnamed 24th James Bond film. Source noted that, following the extreme success of the film (high critical ratings, the highest box office grosses of any Bond film ever, two Academy Award wins and three more nominations), Mendes was...
James Bond franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson infamously made a misstep following the success of Casino Royale by hiring Marc Forster to helm Quantum of Solace (the man simply can’t shoot his way out of a paper bag if a moving camera or action sequence is required); so it...
There's no denying the appeal of James Bond, he's been a fixture of cinemas for half a century and most of his endeavors have been hugely successful. But on its fiftieth anniversary, he's more popular that ever, which has been proven by the sales of the Bond 50 box set. It's now the most successful Blu-ray box set of all time.
Since Skyfall has been showered with enormous success that its garnered in the box office, with critics and fans alike, we've all been curious to see who will be the next director to take on the reigns. After all, Sam Mendes and company did quite an impressive job with Skyfall, who would be the right person for the impending sequel? Well one thing's for sure,...
With a five day opening for the new pictures, and with a holiday weekend for the rest, it seems like Thanksgiving in America (at least this year) meant going to the movies. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 still won, but there are good things to say about most of the new pictures and their numbers. Mostly.
So it's a holiday five day weekend, and there are three new wide releases. Rise of the Guardians, Red Dawn and Life of Pi. But with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 netting $140 Million last weekend, even a 70% slide would mean a $40 Million weekend, and it's doubtful that these new pictures...
Some interesting James Bond news broke today—while Skyfall, the 23rd entry into the long-running James Bond franchise, is breaking Bond box office records and will likely go on to be the most successful (in unadjusted dollars) of the series, plans are already underway for the next film.
Bond is back so hard you guys. Skyfall ended up making $90 Million in America over the last couple days, which puts it on track to make more unadjusted money than any previous Bond movie. Quantum of Solace, the current record-holder, topped out at $168, and that sounds pretty doable. In fact, it may be close to that next weekend....
So it's a James Bond weekend at the box office. Though Steven Spielberg's Lincoln also opens in limited release this Friday, the only picture going wide is Skyfall, which is already on Imax screens, and the picture has already made $321 Million internationally. It's doesn't need America to be a success, but it's going to be big stateside as...
While the American box office didn’t exactly set any records over the weekend—unless you count it as a new low (high?) in general audiences apathy towards forward-thinking flicks, seeing as how Cloud Atlas heavily crashed and burned—overseas, it was a different story. In the European market, there was one name above all: Bond, James Bond (ugh, forgive me for doing that, it...
While the pretty glowing reviews are still coming in—be sure to read our take—on Skyfall, the 23rd EON Productions James Bond film, and despite the fact that the film won’t even see a U.S. release until November 9, a new Bond film is already being written.
Right now a couple of popular British characters may be going through a transitional period within the next couple of years. There's been chatter of the 12th Doctor in Doctor Who being played by a woman, and the James Bond franchise may face the same treatment. No, they're not going to change James Bond into a woman (that'd be just plain weird) but Idris Elba may be...
Skyfall offers the triumphant return of James Bond for his fiftieth anniversary. But Daniel Craig's Bond gets no pensioner's watch for his service, instead he gets one of the best entries in the franchise. Offering one of the greatest casts and the best cinematography in the franchise's long history, Skyfall is the event blockbuster you...
Skyfall opens on November 9 in America (it's hitting England this weekend), and for Americans it seems to be getting The Avengers treatment, which is an enormous amount of pre-release hype and pre-release clips from the film. The latest offers Daniel Craig's Bond talking with his new quatermaster, aka Q (Ben Whishaw), for the first time.
One of the highlights—or biggest eyeroll moments, depending on how you feel about Bond films—of the Skyfall trailer takes places when the back of a train is ripped off and James Bond leaps inside, lands, and coolly adjusts his cufflinks because, well, he’s James Bond and this is all in a day’s work and, besides, it’s his job to look cool. Well, today, in honor of the 50th...
For those waiting impatiently for the next adventure of James Bond, there's some good news. Skyfall, which hits theaters in America November 9, will be coming to Imax screens a day earlier. So you can thrill to Daniel Craig's latest adventure on a much bigger screen before everyone else on November 8 - or at least before most other Americans.
So the summer’s biggest film hits DVD and Blu-ray this week, as does the Blu-ray collection of all the James Bond films. September is going to be an expensive month if you’re a collector, and this week’s going to hurt your wallet.
While the domestic trailer for Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond film and the third to star Daniel Craig, featured a more well-rounded look at the film’s plot and the relationship between Bond (Craig) and M (Judy Dench), the newest international trailer gives us more of a glimpse of Javier Bardem’s bizarrely coiffed new villain, Raoul Silva. Once again, Javier Bardem...
