The Hitman Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I'm personally a big Christoper Nolan fan but having him as the Bond director going forward seems a little pointless. I mean the recent Bond films have clearly been influenced by Nolan's work on Batman, they've been stripped back, gritty, more realistic takes on the character. Nolan's M.O. is always to try and ground his characters in the real world but they've already done that with the Daniel Craig Bond movies so Nolan seems like a bit of a sideways move at this point. I mean he's probably the best guy to go for to keep things on their current course but he wouldn't really bring anything exciting or different to Bond I don't feel.

DeanoTheGame Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 It's a rubbish decision. I actually like the new Bond films and I like Nolan's Batman films, but I have no desire to see his take on Bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Mind you, they're not really Bond films any more anyway, so he'd probably be perfect for whatever they think they are now. Â Apparently Nolan's favoruite film is The Spy Who Loved Me. I'd love it if the producers chased him for a super serious film, everybody expected a super serious film and he delivered a Roger Moore esque Bond adventure to the confusion of pretty much everyone. Plus as much as I personally like the current direction of the series, you can't keep being serious and gritty forever, eventually it becomes silly, and then Bond will return to the big balls out adventures we all know and love.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 20, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 Nolan's right as well, that's the best Bond film. If he made something like that then he would be completely redeemed in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted May 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 23, 2013 Just heard the latest Refn/Gosling movie is being savaged by critics after it's Cannes screening, with most comparing it to a Gaspar Noe movie. Personally can't wait to see it myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted May 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think it's hilarious, there were boos at Cannes, apparently Gosling only has 17 lines in the film, I loved Drive but after Valhalla Rising, Drive & this Refn seems like a one trick pony. His one trick being brooding hero who's silent to the point of it being comical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyV.2 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It has been roundly praised over here hasn't it? Peter Bradshaw gave it 5 stars, and the standard praised it with a 3 or 4 star review. The walkouts seem to be what it is being judged on, but when aren't people booing or walking out of films at Cannes?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted May 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 23, 2013 The dark, brooding anti-hero gig is beginning to become synonymous with Gosling, let alone Refn.I enjoy Refn's movies and his visual style. I haven't come away from a movie of his yet saying anything less than 'I really enjoyed that', so long may it continue. I also think the comparison's to Noe are fair in that Refn operates like a pc Noe and pushes the proverbial envelope subtly through the letterbox, where as Noe throws it through and then fists it right up the dogs arsehole.I love Gosling, I really and truly do, as I could watch him in anything and I find him to have a ridiculous screen presence, but I agree with many that he is beginning to pigeon hole himself with roles like Drive, Blue Valentine, Place Beyond the Pines, Gangster Squad and Only God Forgives.For the moment he's fresh and is oozing cool, but I hope he doesn't go down the Johnny Depp route and take the same/similar roles over and over, only changing his haircuts and facial hair akin to Depp's overly frequent donning of eyeliner and makeup.For the record, I'm really looking forward to seeing this flick and I'd still let Gosling tippex my chin.

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted May 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 23, 2013 He's no Reynolds though innit. Valhalla Rising is one of my least favourite films, it was such a chore. I agree with 'if Gosling's so good why doesn't he do something different?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheman Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Gosling has said he wants to take a break from acting for a while anyway. He's directing a film called How to catch a monster at the moment and he seems to want to concentrate on that for a bit. Â Joseph Gordon Levitt's first film he's directed has got a trailer now and it's quite something to watch. Â and for the fan's of jennifer aniston not wearing very much.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 24, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 anyone see the Lone Ranger trailer? it looks pretty cool but Depp seems terrible, he looks amazing but the comedic thing is the same he does in every other film.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted May 24, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 Depp's pretty much terrible in everything lately... I wish I didn't have to say that, although I am looking forward to his impending Whitey Bulger vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
