James Bond In Skyfall - Part 5

[The Morningstar]

Strangely enough, I dont think they have an invisible car on exhibit though.

Yea they do, it's right there, can't you see it?

Wasn't that poison umbrella thing actually used here in the UK to assassinate some Russian double agent years ago? Sure i see a documentary about it.

Alexander Litvinenko.

There have been many theories as to how he was injected with the Polonium that killed him. One was the umbrella method as it was apparently pretty popular on the spy scene due to the umbrellas design being great for such use. I dont think anything was proven though.

I'm not defending the invisible car (it was very stupid) but it was based on real tehcnology: http://objsam.wordpress.com/2008/01/30/japanese-invisible-technology-optical-camouflage/

Sophia Myles

Another suggestion for Miss Moneypenny? Love this woman!!

Admittedly she doesn't seem to get much exposure IMHO. Saw her recently on Art School Confidential and that episode of Doctor Who entitled "The Girl in the Fireplace." She does have some talent.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Miles fits Moneypenny like a glove.

 

[Sebastos]

Yes, yes and let me check...YES.

 

[Webhead2006]

I would be down with her for moneypenny. Who I still hope is in film.

 

[Doctor Jones]

That woman can be involved in any sort of capacity.

Particularly the capacity of my pants.

 

[chamber-music]

If people like Sophia Myles they should checkout her film Hallam Foe from a few years ago

 

[The Englishman]

I think Keeley Hawes would make a good Moneypenny as well

I just hate this whole "dark and realistic is automatically better" attitude of this generation. It fits some characters and movies, but I don't think Bond at his best should be all dark and realistic. Casino Royale was a great barebones intro for rookie Bond, and after QoS, some (not all) of the older elements like Q, Moneypenny, and gadgets should come back.

There are some thing that definitely should stay in the past. It's not like I'm saying Bond should be a dick, molest a nurse, and then blackmail her into sex (like he actually in Thunderball), and some gadgets should stay in the past.

Like everything else, gadgets can work in Bond in the proper context.

That said, I don't mind Bond being a dick or a pig. It's who he is.

Haha I loved the moment in CR where Craig Bond says to Vesper "you sign that dear, you represent the treasury."

I've said it before but I *really* want to see a poster or something from Skyfall now.

I agree about the gadgets. It's all about proper context while not being too much of Deus Ex Machima.

I don't mind Bond being a dick either, but in terms of modern times, I think there should be a line he wouldn't cross.

 

[Webhead2006]

Totally in the proper context/setting gadgets big/small can work and there is plently of real world stuff that can be gadgets bond uses now. No reason we need to do super crazy lasers and invisible cars.

 

[Sebastos]

Things have been pretty quiet for a few a days, hopefully we get something soon.

Here's an article on Naomie Harris.

"I never thought it was a possibility,” Naomie Harris told reporters at the First Light Awards, “so it's hugely exciting. I'm loving it. I love Sam Mendes. He's a fantastic director. And Daniel Craig is incredible to work with, so I feel incredibly lucky."

Taking a rare night off from filming the 23rd Bond flick, Harris was talking at the event celebrating new talent, which gave her pause to reflect on the origins of her own career. "I started off at the Anna Scher Theatre school, and she was a real inspiration to me -- super-passionate and also very, very down to earth. And she taught me that acting was a job like any other job."

But being a Bond girl isn’t just any other job. Playing junior MI6 agent Eve (they’re still being coy about that surname), Harris will be matching Daniel Craig stunt-for-stunt as they try to eliminate a brutal threat to the secret service. “I'm trying to do all my own stunts,” she explained at the BAFTAs. “I've done them all so far. In a couple of weeks we've got another big stunt thing, so I don't know if I can do all of them. But I'm trying to!”

All that training -- including kickboxing and firearm handling, so she can look like a natural with that all-important MI6-issue Walther PPK -- has certainly had a happy impact on the former Pirates of the Caribbean star’s body. "I've got muscles where I never knew it was possible to have muscles,” she told Empire. “This is the first time where I actually get a chance to be a bit badass!"

Skyfall opens across North America in November.

I'm confused, is Sophia in this or a "want" for the boards...?

Naomie Harris will play the moneypenny character. but some fans would like Sophia

 

[Webhead2006]
