Daniel Craig And Christoph Waltz Set The Record Straight In The Final Trailer For SPECTRE

I have to say, as much as Daniel Craig stays so vocal about not minding someone else taking over the iconic role of James Bond, I’m a little perplexed by it as he’s done such a fantastic job. Rebooting 007 into a single story after 20 films has been a pretty good move so far for MGM with Sony Pictures on hand, especially with the success had by the release of Skyfall in 2012 which I thoroughly enjoyed. Needless to say, while I look forward to watching whoever gets cast to replace Craig in the meantime, I look forward to what’s in store for the new movie, Spectre. Embodying itself with a fresh new cast to play the classic roles of M, Q and Miss Moneypenny portrayed by the gorgeous Naomie Harris who is always easy on the eyes with actor Christoph Waltz also starring as our big question-mark villain, […]

The key music for the long-running 007 film franchise comes seasonably as one of the most celebrated soundtracks in movie history. And not just any song will be the one to lay the all important mood for said themes of each title, and you can tell just by the lyrics.

Sam Mendes directed the film or its November 6 release, which now leaves plenty of time to digest Smith’s new title track, Writing’s On The Wall, which is now online and in-full since its announcement last month.

Lee B. Golden III

Progress on the filming of director Sam Mendes‘s latest, and likely final if he so suggests, entry into the 007 franchise with the new film, Spectre, has been open to the public with a small array of gems hinting at the direction of the film. Back in June, a vlog on the official website details the opening sequence in Mexico with a “Day Of The Dead” ceremony underway. “I wanted the audience to be dropped right into the middle of a very, very specific, very heady, rich environment.” says Mendes. “It’s the Day of the Dead, everywhere you look there’s colour and detail and life. We’ve built floats and maquettes, the costumes are extraordinary and the craftsmanship is amazing,” The most recent synopsis from July offers a hint on what that could mean for the rest of the film on top of its new-timeline by way of its pseudo-relevance to […]

Familiar Villainy Emerges In The New Trailer For SPECTRE

Lee B. Golden III

To the aformentioned notion from director Sam Mendes in recent headlines discussing his departure from the Bond franchise after completing his newest contribution, Spectre, it bares wondering who else would suit to helm the next go-around. There’s no news there just yet, particularly since we’re four months away from Spectre‘s release while promotional efforts get underway and opinions still stir about the latest 007 revival featuring Daniel Craig in the title role. And judging by the latest teasers and factoids we’ve observed, there are still questions that need answering. The approach here has always been largely that of a clear-cut reboot since the 2006 release of Martin Campbell’s Casino Royale establishing a new timeline and framework seperate from the preceeding 20 movies, although there are clear nods to elements used in a few of the prior movies. This has left some fans of the longstanding franchise on the fence as […]
