By noreply@blogger.com (Tanner) Casino Royale didn't open at Number 1 either, thanks to stiff competition from Happy Feet, but it did manage to beat out Happy Feet for the Number 1 spot over the Thanksgiving weekend in 2006.  Tomorrow Never Dies, while it was a big hit and did very respectable numbers, never managed that f...

Eight years is an eternity in Hollywood. Why, in 2002, Pierce Brosnan was still James Bond, Nia Vardalos was a budding film mogul, and Ryan Reynolds was still just that guy from National Lampoon's Van Wilder. It was also the year Mel Gibson starred in M. Night Shyamalan's Signs, an eventual $4...

By noreply@blogger.com (Tanner) Maverick entertainment blogger Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood appears to have the inside track on the whole matter.  She asserts that Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson's EON Productions are close to hiring Mendes as a "consultant" on Bond 23, not a director.  But ultimately, the...

By Xan Brooks Mendes, a smart man and a shrewd operator, is doubtless aware of this already. In signing on to direct Bond 23, he temporarily relinquishes any claims to be an auteur to become the equivalent of a shop-floor manager – on set to ensure that the actors hit their marks and the producers' brief is...

By Ben Child That last film starred the incumbent Bond, Daniel Craig, in a pivotal role. Craig will return for his third outing as the suave spy, as will screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who worked on both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. They will be joined by Peter Morgan, of The Queen and F...

By Stuart Heritage Now that Daniel Craig has been James Bond for a while, we all know what we can expect from his films. God, Quantum Of Solace was crap, wasn’t it? Now that Daniel Craig has been James Bond for a while, we all know what we can expect from his films.
