Spectre (2015)

but 200m for a 1.11b return is bad? cost less than the previous (Skyfall vs QoS) and made double? so the newest one... even it if just matches...or under by a tad of Skyfall and makes /only/ 1b and costs 300m ... its still making 700m... I get the balance of expenditure restrictions but...they are making money!

I don't believe they are referring to Sony's ROI as much as what makes a Bond film good and fear over a return to overblown Brosnan films.

Location shooting is the staple of James Bond and a huge factor in inflating the budget, or so I'd assume.

Looks like those dastardly North Korean hackers are at it again. They have leaked the rough draft of the entire script for Spectre. I'm sure there will be some changes between what has been leaked and what actually makes it on the screen, but you can at least spoil the movie for yourself. I can't link the script because I haven't looked for it. And I'm not going to spoil myself, but whatever.

There's also some big release coming on Christmas day from the hackers as well. They're calling it a special Christmas surprise.

That sounds amazing actually.

Seconded. Watch Luther; he'd do a fine Bond.

It's bad since there's so many places a black guy doesn't easily blend in to. Bond needs to be able to just walk in places on short notice.

Spy organizations aren't racist. The people that they spy on are often racist.

Yea, I love Elba, but the bias against black people is still strong, and I would think that much stronger among the oft tribal criminal organizations. The premiere british secret agent wouldn't be black. He wouldn't have the same opportunities.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko from Lost) would be a more fun Black Bond than Stringer Bell. Only because of the crazy African accent.

Second. Bill made a great spy

Remember how stupid that Roger Moore Bond in New Orleans was?

Yeah.
