It’s like pulling teeth, but finally we get some more Bond news, and it’s real live, honest to goodness, new news!
The Guardian carry the words of the Bond 21 helmer, Martin Campbell:
KGB agent Le Chiffre captures Bond and threatens his manhood in an effort to extract information. Campbell also said the film…would move away from the “huge visual effects” of recent efforts. “I’m looking to humanise Bond a bit,” he said.
Well I never said it was important or exciting information. Oh, actually I will. It’s not important or exciting information. So what’s this post about? My growing frustration with the dull ache of media hype coming from a franchise that most of the MovieBlog audience are telling us is dead.
Their biggest mistake? Missing the opportunity of Tarantino directing Casino Royale. Honestly, I am going to stop with the Bond stories here and now, until either a star is named, or…or…something exciting happens. Like they decide on the name of the next female character.
