Starting point is 00:00:55 Welcome to an emergency James Bonding The, uh, 007 logo went up in the clouds and we answered. Yeah, we saw the signal. Yeah. We both, uh, hit a button on our chairs and our offices. Yeah. And went down tubes.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Also, my, I don't have Twitter notifications set up, but my phone was going nuts this morning. I could feel like, wake up, wake up. Because so many people on Twitter were talking about this to you and me that we felt like wonderfully compelled to have to. We said, you know what, let's dust this thing off. I mean, it's not that dusty. You heard an episode today. Today, you heard it. No dust.
Starting point is 00:01:37 There hasn't been time from dust to form. Oh, it is sparkling, my friend. Yeah. I thought it would be a fun idea if we sort of listened to the Sam Mendes introducing everybody and commented as. As it goes along. As it goes along. Oh, that sounds cool.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Yeah, right? Sounds wonderful. So, of course, we're doing this because if you're listening to this podcast, You probably definitely know that James Bond 24 has a name and a cast, and that name is. Specter. Ooh. With the English spelling, no less. If there is any American spell.
Starting point is 00:02:18 It's like center in theater. Ah. I have to say, that's a good title. Do you want to just talk about the title before? Well, here's my question. Yeah. Is it really a good title? Oh.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Like, now, here's my question. Did you want the Phantom Menace? Was that what you want? It's kind of similar. The Phantom Menace. I wanted something along the lines. I don't know. You wanted a classic, like, a live and let die kind of thing?
Starting point is 00:02:53 Yeah, I want. Because we haven't had one of those in a while. Exactly. I want to see it was only two and a half minutes long, right? No, it's 10 minutes. It's 10 minutes. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:03:04 I got to find it. I have to find it. Hang on, everybody. I'm not memorized. Hello, I'm Sam Mendez. Let me just, let me go to the official. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I can't even. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:18 I can't even. We're not going to do it yet. We're not going to do it yet. But we saw this. Yeah, again, my phone was going crazy. well, everyone was like, hey, what are you guys going to say about this? You guys are going to have a podcast. That's what I assume everybody sounds like.
Starting point is 00:03:37 You're not wrong. No, it ranged from very gracious and nice to. There were some people that were offended that we basically didn't do our own morning broadcast. We, yeah, what I think people were expecting was what you actually suggested and had I not worked would have happened. Yeah, this is what we're going to do. We were going to live stream, you stream, a Q&A sort of thing with Matt and myself. That morning. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Probably in our PJs with coffee. I didn't realize it would be so early. Well, it was 3 a.m. our time, so that couldn't have happened. Oh. It would have probably been more like 8 or something. Wow. Yeah, but we didn't get to do it. But guess what?
Starting point is 00:04:15 We're here now. Yeah. And we're pretending that we're here right now. Let's pretend we're watching it for the first time. We don't know. We don't know. And then we'll comment on each thing as it comes up. Okay, here's my first problem this morning when I was watching this.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Yeah. There should have been crazy applause. I know, that's the worst thing about press. Crazy applause for this. They're not fans. They're just the media. And it reminds me of awards shows where they don't mic the audience. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Come on, give it it. It's due respect. Oh, man. I'm getting so excited just watching this. I don't. I didn't really pay attention to this. Oh, I did. This is good.
Starting point is 00:04:53 It's a lot of, it's all Craig, huh? Oh. Of course it is. Oh my God. They tied their rope to this pony. As well they should. Nothing. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Morning, everyone. I know. No. Morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Pinewood Studios. Barbara looking lovely. We are on not inappropriately the 007 stage. Sam should not have that bottom button.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I always know it's a stage where budgets go to die. And look, the top button here to the top left, which I know is optional. But it feels more sinful when the bottom button is button. I stand here right. He's got it upside down. The whole Bond family. Broccoli next to me. Michael Wilson, Eon Productions, MGM Studios and Sony Studios.
Starting point is 00:05:42 And I'm going to reveal a few interesting tip bits about the movie that will be released in just under a year, along with, most importantly, it's cast. But first and foremost, I... would like to reveal the title of the movie. Pause it really quickly. Yes. As the cast is revealed, let's also talk about whether you think they enjoy this thing. Oh,
Starting point is 00:06:05 I think half of them are digging it. I have very many of my own opinions on that, and I look forward to announcing it. Do you, first of all, do you think Sam Mendez enjoys this? I think he kind of is into this, because he's a theater guy. Yeah, and he's pragmatic enough to know this has to be done. Yeah, this is a thing we have to do.
Starting point is 00:06:21 And I think by that, I don't want to spoil anything for when Dan Craig comes out, but I feel like Dan Craig at this point totally accepts that this is his life and this is what he has to do. I was surprised, well, we'll get to it. So this is the reveal of the title. And the screen behind me, I believe, will do it in a far more dramatic way
Starting point is 00:06:40 than I would be able to. So without further ado, now what the listener can't see is that it slowly and cryptically starts forming on the letters of the title. Glad to the title. I love it. I love it. And the title is Made in Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Okay, here's the best thing about this entire thing. This logo. Yeah. Incredible. It's the Specter Octopus. Incredible. Forming out of the bullet hole. In glass, which is the one thing that makes me think they might be doing on Her Majesty's Secret Service with this.
Starting point is 00:07:26 what the fuck you know what I'm saying I hear what you're saying what do you think they can do that though why is it so specifically glass like because it needs to crack you think they would have blood though is that too cliche
Starting point is 00:07:41 you think they would have blood I don't I don't think it would have blood Matt I think you're reading too much into that logo I think you may be right but isn't that exciting and here's a side question for everybody out there listening and for you of course because you're the only one who can actually answer me because you're here
Starting point is 00:07:54 can they do that? Can James Bond as a franchise go back and remake something? I know they're legally allowed to do such a thing. No, I'm not even talking legally. I'm talking ethically morally. In the whole, the realm of James Bond movies, where they've set up this weird floating continuous timeline, can they do that?
Starting point is 00:08:15 Yes, because if they've proven anything, it's that all bets are off when something new is coming. Like all this timeline about, oh, is it the same code name, and different men and what there is no timeline it's a bunch of different filmmakers at different times abandoning the past to do what they wanted to do hmm i'm not saying they're doing it but they could i think you're i think you're wrong so they have it the title of the 24th bomb movie is specter okay let's pause i like this title i i was not a fan of the title skyfall when it came out but then when i found out it was the name of his i liked the name skyfall i was in completely
Starting point is 00:08:53 Skyfall felt very much like a James Bond title. All I could hear was Purvis and Wade in that. Well, and that's all you're going to hear in a second when he says that again. He mustered so much enthusiasm for it that I couldn't even believe it. Well, this time I feel like I believe it because after they had just John Logan do it and then sounds like begged those two to come back, they may have proven their worth and we may have had it wrong all along. Yeah, I would love for them to come on and tell us what they were. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Those of you who have some knowledge of the Bond franchise and the legend of Bond will probably have some idea what that refers to, but I couldn't possibly comment. Okay, so details of the movie. Where we are going to be shooting, we start shooting on Monday morning. We're in the middle of rehearsals at the moment. We've broken rehearsals to be here with you.
Starting point is 00:09:42 We've got time to get over there still. And we will be rehearsing, oh, excuse me, we will be shooting in some fantastic places here at Pinewood Studios. Okay, Pinewood Studios. What do you think is going to be there? Well, for sure, the soundstays is going to burn down. It burns down every time. I think they're going to build the MI6 offices in there.
Starting point is 00:10:00 And I think that probably what else you'll see there is probably the villains layer. Okay. Next. A magnificent facility, if you've never been here before. In London. Ooh, what do you think they're going to shoot in London? Something with the tube. I say.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I bet some exterias. Mike Trivel. In Mexico City. First time ever in Mexico City. No, is it? I think so. Licensed to kill, I guess, wasn't in Mexico City proper. In Tangier.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Tangier, what are they going to do in Tangier? Here's the thing. Judging by the cast and the locations, it still could be on Her Majesty Secret Service. I hear what you're saying, but did they say Rome? Do they go to Italy? They do go to Italy. Okay, here, let's hear another one. Their food in Morocco.
Starting point is 00:10:50 He's talking about the food in Morocco? Yeah. And taking Bond back to the Alps to the... That's the one. Back to the Alps. Back to the Alps. Daniel Craig, can you ski? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Roger Moore can. He can also snowboard. The snow again in Solden in Osprey. I am so thrilled about the Alps. I can't tell you that's... My favorite Bond location is when he goes to the snow. Oh my God. Because you're like, what winter coat is he going to wear?
Starting point is 00:11:21 What do I have to buy this year? And he's never going to, like, go there to ski, but he's going to end up skiing. Yeah. How is that going to happen? We don't even know. These movies are just, how does he ski? Yeah. All of them amazing places, and I'm very excited to be going to all of those locations over the next seven months, which is how long we'll be shooting.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Seven months, okay. So they're shooting for seven months. The movie comes out in a year. Seven months shoot? That can't be. That must mean... No, I think that's what they do over there. they must have breaks in between though
Starting point is 00:11:55 well they got to keep flying everything over you gotta wait for the camera to get there I was very lucky on the last movie to have an incredible team supporting me and most of those people are back again production designer Dennis Gassner I'm on board I enjoy the production design of Skyfall quite a bit
Starting point is 00:12:16 That's great costume designer Janie Tameen Why not fantastic she finds all the Tom Ford jackets You got a lot. Head of special effects, Chris Corbold. He's great. I like the special effects a lot in Skyfall, particularly the miniature helicopter and the miniature Aston Martin that we use. He does all the Christopher Nolan films. It was fantastic.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Next. Head of stunts, Gary Powell. Gary Powell? Hey, guess what? I love all your stunts, Gary. All these guys have been around. Chris Colbo did all the Casino Royale stuff. The Venice House on the gimbal.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Oh, boy, I can't wait. Head of visual effects. Steve Begg. Hey, your effects are great. composer Thomas Newman. And most importantly, the same writing team, exactly the same writing team has this morning. Ready?
Starting point is 00:12:59 Is Thomas Newman? Are you ready for the same writing team? The way he did. Let's as an audience together, fellow James Bonding fans. Let's listen to the way Sam Mendes delivers these names. Ready? Here we go. Skyfall.
Starting point is 00:13:16 John Logan. Okay. All right. And Rob Wade and Neil Purvis. Rob. Rob. That implies... Rob.
Starting point is 00:13:27 That's some familiarity. Yeah, but it also implies, like, here's my way to say it in a different way so I can couch my true feelings. I don't know. So if they brought him back. Plus, there's this other guy that's unredited. A secret guy. And he's back on this. Yep.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Also, what's fascinating to me is that with the Sony hack that just happened. Mm-hmm. I am marginally surprised that more information hasn't leaked out of their files. It was all just shit-talking Adams. But then again, they distribute the movie. They don't really produce the movie. That's all Eon. So Eon's on its own network.
Starting point is 00:14:01 So maybe we're not going to see any leaks. And I hope we don't. No, I hope we don't. I agree. And I don't know. I'm obviously, my excitement is a little tempered. with this writing team. I mean, I like Skyfall.
Starting point is 00:14:22 But, I mean, Skyfall was the kind of movie that you watch a couple times and then you start to sort of let the actual problems take over. I've said this before. I really liked the character and the dialogue in Skyfall, but the plot was not very good. Okay. And I wonder who's responsible for that. We're going to find out, I think.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Because all the press reports said they brought Purvis and Wade back on to do like humor and dialogue and stuff. We're very, very lucky to have them back again. His eyes are half closed on that. And two crucial new figures. I'm excited about this. Editor Lee Smith, who I'm really excited to be working with. And a wonderful cinematographer Hoyt van Hoytema,
Starting point is 00:15:10 who some of you will. If you can't get Roger Deacons. You get Hoyt van Hoytmer. Hotimer. Hoyt van Hoytema. Hoydema. Hoidima. He did Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy, which...
Starting point is 00:15:22 Get Hoytima. Get Hoidema. Get me, Hoytima. Get God. Be familiar with from Let the Right One in. Tinker Taylor's Spicey. Beautiful movie. And most recently, Christopher Nolan's interstellar.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I'm sure that's beautiful. All of those people. Yeah, he did say spike does her. And I speak on behalf of all of them. When I say we're very excited to be on the verge of shooting. this new movie. So, on to the most important thing, which is our cast.
Starting point is 00:15:55 The first cast member I will introduce to you is a non-human cast member. Over to my right here. He's drinking all the Kool-Aid if he's just soliciting automobile ads at this point. This is exciting
Starting point is 00:16:10 to me. Now, as I said on Twitter this morning, I was most excited by this. This car, you are... This is a new... It doesn't look a little weird to you? This is a new Aston Martin. This is the DB, okay, here's how this goes. When I was in high school, the DB 7 was out. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:26 The DB8, I don't even know what happened to that. Then the DB 9 came along and we've had the DB 9 sitting around for since before Casino Royale. When was the DB Sweeney? The DB Sweeney was earlier. It was like 1978. David Brown is what DB stands for. I see.
Starting point is 00:16:46 And the DB brothers? Yeah, and DB Cooper Uh-huh Uh-huh Jeff out of the plane With a car strapped He was back Yeah, that's right
Starting point is 00:16:53 Um So this is the DB 10 This is the new This is replacing the DB 9 This is exciting to me And was the 9 the one in Casino Royale Yes Oh, okay
Starting point is 00:17:04 This thing looks like a shark This thing looks like the DB5 Grown up Really excited and thrilled Look at how gorgeous By the way That silk Perfectly made
Starting point is 00:17:17 50-year relationship with Aston Martin, which began right at the very beginning of this franchise. And together we have worked on designing a new car. And so I can reveal, as long as it doesn't snag on something, the new Aston Martin DB10. Here it is. Oh, nearly. Look at it. Two-door, beautiful shape. This really, the size of it, looks like the DB5.
Starting point is 00:17:49 The front end of... That's Austin Martin up there. I've got applauded, by the way. Is the Aston Martin grill? You know what it looks like to me? It looks like a Jaguar F-type. The new Jaguar F-Type. It looks like an Astor-Martin version of the F-type.
Starting point is 00:18:05 What it can do when you come and see the movie. And now on to the human members of the cast. Returning, one of the great luxuries, one of the great benefits of coming back to a movie, like this is that you've already established some extraordinary actors in the role to begin with. And playing the home team, as it were, the MI6 Whitehall Brigade, returning again as Tanner and Mr. Rory Keneer. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Let's talk about Rory. Let's see him in his sweater. I think he's really excited to be part of this. This is his first press card. And as... I think this is the first one. Yeah. So you think that means...
Starting point is 00:18:47 He's great in the imitation. Haitian game. Have you seen Black Mirror? Not yet. Is he in Black Mirror? He's in an episode. Do you know what he has to do? No. I won't spoil it, but he has to do something humiliating. And he's brilliant in it. It's the first episode of Black Mirror. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And he's just in that one episode. But he's the lead. He do you think this is like Sam Mendez? Because I know Sam Mendez likes him. He works with him in theater, but he's like, oh, you're 10 years long enough now that we're just going to put you in this. Or do you think maybe he has an expanded role in this? I think he's
Starting point is 00:19:19 I mean I think his role was pretty big in the last one I think I think this I think Tanner is What Tanner does now In the movies is what Q used to do Do you know what I mean? Tanner Because every briefing you see in an old James Bond movie
Starting point is 00:19:36 Where any information needs to be conveyed Q is there to convey it Right right And what is happening now is As we got away from Q branch You know we now have Tanner coming in and Tanner being Tanner being a lot of the
Starting point is 00:19:52 plot drive, a lot of the exposition of the movies. So I think he's back sort of in that role. If he's got an expanded role, great. Yeah, he's good. You know, I wish they'd bring back Robinson. For a new generation, Mr. Ben Whishol. Now, is he happy to be here?
Starting point is 00:20:14 I think he's always a little socially awkward in a nice sweet way, but I don't think he wants to be. like, what's happened to my hair? That's what he's like right now. I think he's like, I know what's happened to my hair. I'm playing George Harrison in a new movie. He just seems very sweet.
Starting point is 00:20:32 And established in the last movie as Miss Moneypenny, the fabulous Naomi Harris. She's happy. She's just living life. She is delighted. I still will never forgive myself for not getting a picture with her when she did attack. At the end of the last movie, he
Starting point is 00:20:48 took over from... I'll never forgive you. as the new M the extraordinary Ray finds. This guy's amazing. Come on. Look at this man's posture.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Straight as a fucking arrow. He was a good-looking younger man. And now he's got age on him and he looks fantastic. He looks like he should be M. He doesn't, but he doesn't even look like an old stodgy man. He just looks like a man, but not a
Starting point is 00:21:16 macho man. A proper English gentleman. He looks like of Voldemort, if you will. Oh, he does. In Denby, Mr. Andrew Scott. Denby. Okay, now here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:21:28 All right. Tell me about Denby. This is the only low point for me in this whole press announcement. Okay. Now, I have nothing against this guy. Yeah. But he was the reason I stopped watching Sherlock. And I'm hoping he was just directed that way, and I don't want to disparage him.
Starting point is 00:21:46 He seems wonderful. He seems really talented, like incredibly talented. Yeah. The choice for him. for that character of Moriarty that he did was so seen chewy and ridiculous that it actually put me off the show
Starting point is 00:21:58 and I know that that may be unpopular I think that's I think but that I think what I think what that is is just I think the Moriarty character is meant to be that way is meant to be an overly dramatic overread nemesis to the
Starting point is 00:22:15 quiet Sherlock and I think that's just just how the character was built from the get-go and I think that guy's just doing what he was told to do. And I'm sure he's not going to play a character like that necessarily. But I do get the feeling. Who's Denby? Let's speculate. And he's working for MI6.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Shall we speculate who Denby is? Yes, let us. Let's see him. You know what? If we're following the, on Her Majesty Secret Service thing, maybe he's like the Hillary Bray type. We're not following that, but I'm saying if we were. Okay, on the front of me. I'm going to go to sir.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Okay, on to the Interesting how he goes that way In the split Yeah Is he a double crosser? Oh my God Is he a Specter in MI6? He might be
Starting point is 00:23:02 Interesting wardrobe too Like a... Oh boy Well Because there's There's plenty of room to put him right there Yeah but Mendez is going to go back there for the picture I don't like your attitude right now
Starting point is 00:23:14 It's not attitude It's factitude Move over Move over Move over There's plenty of empty space next to Tannen. They've got to start putting someone at some point over there, but you're saying why is he?
Starting point is 00:23:26 They should start with all the gals and the villain. Ready, here we go. British, rather. But he's the only new one. They're putting all the new guys. A triumph, wonderful performance in Guardians of the Galaxy, playing Mr. Hinks. Great name, by the way, for a fucking henchman.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Yeah. Mr. Hanks. I agree. David Bortista. And I'm also glad he could wear his. chain mail sweater. Oh my God, but he's so huge. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:23:53 It's like when you read that casting call where they're like, we're looking for a physically imposing bop-di-bop-p-b-b-b-b. They fucking nailed it. Yeah. It's ridiculous. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:24:03 It does look like he's wearing a dickens sweater like he's been living out on the streets. This I love. Yeah. I love this distinct facial hair situation that's happening here. I love that he buttoned one button
Starting point is 00:24:13 appropriate for a cardigan. Okay. The guy's fucking... Uh... His shoulders. Those lats? They're just... They're new, they're new muscles.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Insane. Insane. You know what it always looks like, what they always say is like it always looks like a skinny guy is trying to break out of a mussely body. Uh-huh. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:24:34 It, we're... Look at, okay. Andrew Scott is next to him. Yeah. His shoulders go out at a right angle. Yep. Dave Batitz does... That's a 45-degree angle.
Starting point is 00:24:46 They're like flying buttresses. It's... It's amazing. I cannot wait for the over-the-top, ridiculous fist fight of James Bond. I cannot wait for James Bond to punch him a couple times if he had not flipped. You know that's happening.
Starting point is 00:24:58 And that I'll believe it this time. And now two actresses that I feel very, very privileged to have persuaded to join this cast are Bond ladies. We have the corn-eating white girls, the chicken-eating black girl. She's Monica Boulucci.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I'm just going by Hunter-Madesty. service. They were raised. Okay. Monica Balochie. Could she be Tracy? I think she would be Irma Bunt. Oh. But let's talk about this.
Starting point is 00:25:32 She's 50 years old. She's the oldest blonde girl by far. Fucking fantastic. Is she the oldest by far? Honor Blackman was 39. And what about octopusy herself there? She was younger than I'm pretty sure. So she's older than Daniel Craig.
Starting point is 00:25:48 She looks great. She's going to be great. This is wonderful. This is the other thing I'm super excited about. But do you think she's the secondary femme fatale, like the doomed girl? Or is she the main girl? No, she's not the main girl. Leis seduze.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Yeah. Okay. By the way. She looks great. She looks fantastic. Monica Bullish. Oh, she does. And she's been linked to Bond movies every time.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Every year for 20 years. Madeline Swan. Madeline Swan. Leia Seidu. And our visiting cast Our visiting cast, I like that. It's a visiting cast.
Starting point is 00:26:42 The final and most important member, I think, an extraordinary actor, I could not be happier than to be having the music cast and joining us on this journey. She is. Look at him. I love Christoph Waltz so much. And last, but by no means least,
Starting point is 00:27:05 my friend and collaborator around whom we build this movie, as we should build all Bonn movies, playing Ian Fleming's 007, Mr. Daniel Craig. Oh, he gets that. Do you think he was waiting for a particular cue to start walking up?
Starting point is 00:27:23 Now the press is going crazy for him. He is exactly the same height as me. You're kidding. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. I'm five. I'm like five. Nine and a half.
Starting point is 00:27:43 10. Really? That's how tall he is. Wow. So, but look how they kept that hole for the two of them to fit in perfectly. Okay. Bear with me. I just moved the pieces of the people.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Sure. If he were slid over here, okay, this delineation would make more sense. All right. Okay, what I'm saying is... They're going by new versus old. No. Denby. Denby should be over next to M.
Starting point is 00:28:13 He will be after the movie starts, but right now we're not familiar with him. I think there's something going on with Denby. Oh, you think he's a bad guy. I think Denby's a secret bad guy. That's why he's on the bad guy side. I think that's safe to assume. Okay. But that's not the bad guy side.
Starting point is 00:28:27 That's the bad guy side. Do you know that both those girls are bad girls? I think that both those girls are naughty. So that concludes the event, and we are very, very excited. I think I speak on behalf of all of us to say we cannot wait to bring this movie to you in just under a year's time. We hope you like it and we'll see you then. Thank you very much. It is funny.
Starting point is 00:28:56 They used to do question and answer stuff if they don't do that anymore. Probably smart. So there we have it. The announcement is over. We do now know some bringing information about Bond 24. First of all, the movie is called Spector and it's going to be starting at seven-month shoot. very soon visiting places including Tangiers, Mexico City, the Alps and of course,
Starting point is 00:29:18 here in London. The car that James Bond will be driving is the car that they've designed themselves together involving Aston Martin, of course, it is the Aston Martin DB10, and I guess one of the most important facts is who is joining the cast. Joining the cast includes Leicester,
Starting point is 00:29:34 I want to hear him say it. Dave Bautista, Monica Boulucci, Andrew Scott, and Christoph Waltz. Type their handwritten. Type their handwritten. He didn't hand rights and stuff. Gifted us today here at Pinewood Studios for anything else. Well, that'll be to come.
Starting point is 00:29:50 The movie itself is released on November 6th, 2015. Thank you for joining us today. You and I have got to go to fucking London. Yeah. Okay. Dear James Bond people, dear at-O-7 Twitter account, please invite us to the premiere. Seriously. I mean, you'll never find,
Starting point is 00:30:13 two people that love with a more real love. We're not all kisses and hugs, but we're real love. We're the kind of love that a successful marriage is. We have our ups and downs, but we have more ups than downs. And we know we're in it to win it. We're in this for the long haul. Yeah, yeah. I mean, hell, we've been doing this podcast two years.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Yeah. Good God. And we'll have three by the time they invite us to go there. But I think... All right. So, I mean, they're getting loud downstairs. But... Yeah, let's sort of digest this together, everybody.
Starting point is 00:30:52 The logo, the Alps, and Monica Balucci... Well, of course, Christoph Waltz. Those things thrill me. Christoph Waltz, I am so delighted by him. I wish he had a beard. He may. Monday. Good point.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Although, I don't know what kind of... What Christoph Waltz's facial hair growth level is. Right. I mean, I'll tell you. Today I accidentally took off way more of my beard than I wanted to. Oh, you did? Yeah, on the side here. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Yeah, yeah. And I feel like by Monday it's going to be fine. Let's talk about this. This is one thing that I don't want to get prematurely bummed out about. But Specter implies Specter what happened to quantum. But then there's this article that comes up today on ComicBook.com that Jesper Christensen is in this movie. But I don't think that's real. Because he's not on IMDB.
Starting point is 00:31:41 And it sounds like click-based. kind of article. I don't know that IMDB would have that information. I know that, but why... That would be awesome if they tied this into Quantum. Oh, I would love it if they...
Starting point is 00:31:53 And I think they will. You do? I think they will. I don't see why Quantum can't be a subsidiary of Spector. It should be Spector. Well, because you can't do... Extortion, revenge,
Starting point is 00:32:05 terrorism, and special executive... That's the thing, though. What are they gonna... Oh, that's a great question. Mm-hmm. The question of, like, Is Spector going to be that? Is it going to be the terrorist group?
Starting point is 00:32:18 Extortion revenge. It shouldn't be because that's silly. And Quantum is set up to be the perfect modern answer of what that is. Right. Do you think they'll just rename it Specter? Quantum? Yeah. Maybe Quantum had to rebrand after Quantum of Solace just because they...
Starting point is 00:32:35 The movie came out like, oh, fuck, we're fucked. Everyone saw us in the movie? They weren't very effective, yeah. I just, I don't know. I'm really... I'm so thrilled with the prospect of like, of just a big, bad organization again. But let's talk about two. The only evidence we have that Blofeld is in this is this rumor from the Daily Mail, right?
Starting point is 00:33:04 That guy that's been right about things before. Yeah. And that this is called Spector. Okay. Matt. Those are pretty big. The movie is called Specter. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:14 You can't call a James Bond movie Specter and not have Blofeld in it. It would be like calling a James Bond movie Doctor No and not having Dr. No in it. That's a good point. Well, I mean, it could have been called Blofeld, but I get what you're saying. I understand you get what I'm saying. I'm very literal. Yeah. Well, there's no way that that's not.
Starting point is 00:33:36 There's no way that Blowfield is not in this movie. It could not, it could be not that it's not Christopher Waltz. Christophe Walz could be, you know, Dr. No or something. Which worries me that it's Andrew Scott, because he's already been Moriarty, and theoretically, Blofeld, maybe they'll kill him off in the first movie. That would be awesome. Kill off Blofeld? Yeah. Like, maybe dump him into like a bubbling pit of bullshit. Or a smokestack?
Starting point is 00:34:02 Do you know who the actor was that played that Blofeld? The guy that played Lobot in Empire Strikes Back. Oh, my. my god yeah so i just i'm so excited i'm too i like the name specter let's talk a little bit about things that we don't want to see in this movie okay i want to see a little bit i want to see or here's where i'm leading into that i'd like to see a little less james bond with an earpiece agreed okay agreed thank you i'd like to see a little bit more gadgets i think last time was plenty for me they weren't good good
Starting point is 00:34:43 Good. Like, the gun thing was all right, but the radio was a little silly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want that. Okay. I want good gadgets. So what is a good gadget to you these days when gadgets are so plentiful for the common man? Matt my right?
Starting point is 00:34:57 I want an Asthmarton DB10 that's bulletproof. Oh, you do. I want an Asthmarton DB10 that has oil slicks. I want an Asthmarton DB10 that shoots things. Oh, how about an Astin Martin DB10 that uses Wi-Fi to hack in, to car computers and can make the car computer stop or go. All right. I don't want it to be too car gadget heavy.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Well, I'm not asking for dying another day. Okay. By no stretch of the imagination. Oh, let's talk about that. Yeah. The fourth film of all the bonds has been like notoriously bad. Die another day. Or bloated at least.
Starting point is 00:35:40 You only live twice. Thunderball? No. You only live. twice. Oh, you only have twice. One, two, three. Oh, yeah. No. No, Thunderball. Yeah, Thunderball. Okay. Oh, I mean, yeah, well, we don't like that movie. No, but you're right. Moonraker. The Thunderball was bloated. Moonraker, yeah. I see that Asin Martin and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:35:59 this just feels a little too, it feels a little too self-conscious. No, but they, Matt, let me fill some information for you because you're not really the car guy of this podcast. That's true. I am. Okay. Even though you sell cars on television to millions of Americans, I'm the car guy The Aston Martin DBSS The Sweeney From Casino Royale Did not exist until it was in the movie
Starting point is 00:36:24 Okay Okay So they've done this already with Daniel Craig Okay But that looked like a car This looks like a car I told you it looks like a Jaguar F type It looks like a Jaguar F type
Starting point is 00:36:35 You don't have to open it Here I'll show you the Jaguar No No Oh, the Alps. The Alps thing is exciting. When do you think they're going to shoot there? Because we don't even know that it's snow.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Here's my question. How far into the movie do you think they get before they... I hope it ends there, man. That's the Jaguar F-type. Does it not look exactly like a Jaguar F-type? Yeah, and it looks like that is the evolutionary stage of going back into the water like mammals did when they turned into whales. I wonder if the Aston Martin DB-10 has much of a... That's the second most searched thing.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Wow, already. Let's look at it. Let's fucking look at it. Oh, it's so sleek. It's a little pointier than I wanted to be, actually. That's what I'm saying. It looks like a stingray. It is a little pointier.
Starting point is 00:37:27 If that were black, that would be part Batmobile. You're not wrong. Yeah, it's a little too charactery for me. Like superheroy. Matt, we're less than a year away. Yeah. From a brand new James Bond movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:42 I'm so excited. I am too. I am too. It's the mystery of it all. I just cannot, I cannot, I cannot, uh, I cannot stress enough to the listeners how excited I am. Yeah. About the prospect of this movie. This is a big, this is a big movie day for young Matt Myra.
Starting point is 00:38:01 The Terminator Genesis trailer came out. Oh, boy. Well, that Star Wars trailer came out. That Star Wars trailer came out last week. Did you see the Terminator Genesis? I did. Yeah. What did you think?
Starting point is 00:38:11 I looked pretty rough. What? You thought it looked good? I thought the whole idea of like, well, we really fucked up this movie franchise. Might as well blow up the timeline. I'm on board. Sure. I can't tell you this.
Starting point is 00:38:25 I saw it and I went like, I don't even think I'll see that movie. Oh, that's what I said with Salvation, but I did not say that with this one. I didn't with Salvation. I'm like, this looks pretty cool. Then I went and saw it and I was mad at myself. Oh, yeah, I didn't see it. I stayed away because I didn't think it looked cool. You still have not seen it?
Starting point is 00:38:39 Still have not seen it. Well, you're doing all right. And I've heard. from people, don't bother. So I'm not going to bother. Don't do it. I'm like, you know what? Don't need to see you, Terminator Salvation.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Let's take five minutes and talk about that Force Awakens trailer. Okay. What did you think? Because I'll tell you what I thought. My first time through, and I'm not kidding, I probably watched it 20 times. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Since then. My first time through, I wasn't thrilled. It felt very CG in how the cameras moving around, like CG camera stuff. Yeah. Then it really grew on me. Okay. I'll tell you what I thought.
Starting point is 00:39:14 What? When I watched the trailer, I got through almost the entire trailer going, did I just accidentally click on a YouTube fan link? Yeah, I've heard that said, yeah. Like, was this just some fan-made thing? Right. Because the effects didn't blow me away looking like anything real.
Starting point is 00:39:34 And I, you know, and I know they built a lot of full-size ships and stuff like that, but I hope they use some models. I agree. I agree. I felt that it just, like the X-Winges on the water looked cool, but the Millennium Falcon was just too video-gamy. Yeah, the Lillian Falcon doing a little too much, a little too much.
Starting point is 00:39:49 And also, here's my problem with the Millennium Falcon. The fucking ship is shaped like a target. Why is no one hitting it? Because it always goes flat side. It makes it so skinny. It hides behind the pole, like a cartoon movie. And I have real mixed feelings about that lightsaber. I don't altogether.
Starting point is 00:40:09 I have no problem with that lightsaber. I like it, but I do. feel like every movie they're like, how do we outdo the last lightsaber? Just to have a lightsaber. It's not the lightsaber. It's the man behind the lightsaber. The lightsaber is already fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:40:21 You don't need to add fire coming out of the side of it. Yeah. All right. Let's get back to Bond. That does it for the Star Wars Minute. Which is a great podcast, by the way. Have you listened to that podcast? Is that a real thing?
Starting point is 00:40:33 The Star Wars Minute. No. It's a podcast where every episode is 15 to 20 minutes long and they analyze one minute of the Star Wars the next episode is the next minute that's great and Pete and Alex
Starting point is 00:40:46 are these guys that do it and they're fantastic they know their stuff but they're not like off-putting nerds I highly recommend it wow
Starting point is 00:40:53 sounds like the us of Star Wars I think we flatter ourselves oh yeah yeah they probably know more than we do
Starting point is 00:41:03 and they're probably more enjoyable we do skate by we do escape by so much but here's the point of us. Yes. I think,
Starting point is 00:41:12 and I think that's why people listen to our podcast is that we're just fans. And when do we start our other podcast, the point of us? The point of us is.
Starting point is 00:41:18 We just get back to being, we get our groove back. Guys, we are going to go fuck Tyrese. Right? That's how we get our groove back. That's how I know how to do it. That's how I've been doing it.
Starting point is 00:41:30 All right, let's talk more about this movie. Let's speculate. I do want to say this. Let's spectrolate. No, I don't, because I pretty much already said it. What?
Starting point is 00:41:39 Do you think Monica Balucci is the main one? Or do you think Leis Sidoo? Leisadu? Let me just... Let me just buckle you up right now because you're going to fly out of your chair when I say this. Oh, my God. What if Monica is the main villain?
Starting point is 00:41:55 Oh, that'd be awesome. What if she is Blofeld? But here's why they can't do that. Why? Dark Night Rises. What about it? I don't mean to spoil anything, but that's now... Oh, hang on.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Spoiler alert, everybody, Dark Night Rises. Spoiler alert. Marion Coutillard. But anyone who knows the comics knew that was coming. Yeah, but it doesn't change. We all knew Tali El Ghul was going to show up. Hmm. So that changed nothing as far as I was concerned.
Starting point is 00:42:27 I know, but it just feels, it doesn't feel fresh. It doesn't feel fresh. And did they say her character name? Yes, they did. It's a real slow. It's like Marina Sax. Spanish. Sort of, yeah, real spicy sort of deal.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Just like get it all on you. Just a little, some red pepper flakes in there. Oh, yeah, a little sororachi. Oh, God. Put it in the pita pocket. But, you know, I'd like to hear one man's opinion on this. Could you maybe leave the room for a second so I can talk to you in? Well, I do have to go to the restaurant.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Thank God. Okay. I'll be right back. Okay, Matt. You're going to be okay all alone? I mean, I'll just try to fill the time. I'll just talk. I'm certain you're going to be all alone.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Yeah, no, no one else is here right now. Okay. But I feel like, all right. Enjoy the bathroom, Matt. Okay, okay, bye. How did I get on to this table? Hey, Ian, Fleming, welcome back. Matthew, Myra.
Starting point is 00:43:24 How are you? It's good to see you. Well, you know, cracking old boy, because I've just come in from Jamie Acre, don't you see? And I understand there was something of a press conference today, don't you know? There was. It seems that your James Bond is having a 24. fourth movie made about it. Whatever is it called?
Starting point is 00:43:42 It's called Spector. Oh, heavens, don't do that? Kevin McClory will come after you, don't you know? Have we not learned anything from this? We mustn't. I have to tell you, Kevin McGlory has passed away. Well, so have I, and I'm here. The lawsuit is over.
Starting point is 00:43:58 What? You guys won. No. Yes. We can use Blofeld again? You can use Blofeld again? What? Spectar.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Spectar? Oh, my God. Aren't you? Are you excited? I can finally pass on. No, we need you to stay. This is all I've been waiting for. Don't you see? I can finally go.
Starting point is 00:44:20 I've just recently done something similar, but I have to go. How nice for this to happen around Christmas time. Wonderful. I can see the heavens. There's my wife. I don't want to go that way. Let me go the other way. Oh, there.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Oh no, there are lesbians. Oh, no, I can't go that way. Where am I? Which way am I going? Oh, heavens. Oh, there. There's an old Louis Coutor end table stacked to the gills with Turkish Chesterfield cigarettes and martini shakers and Americanos, you know, and scrambled eggs and figs and Greek yogurt. Goodbye, Matthew.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Say goodbye to Matt Gawley. You know, I regret I never really got to meet him. You know, I have a feeling that you might come back and visit us. I might. You might. I don't know. We'll see how heaven is. Oh, look, my wings.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Oh, I'm back. Hey, Matt. How was the bathroom? It was great. You're not going to believe this. But while you were gone. Yeah? Ian Fleming stopped by again.
Starting point is 00:45:29 See, this is bullshit. No, Matt, you go back and listen. You'll hear it every time. Ian Fleming. Yes. Listen to our podcast. This doesn't go out live? it doesn't it doesn't let's take a call but let me tell you what Ian
Starting point is 00:45:43 Ian passed on he finally he finally got to go through the gates because apparently all he was waiting for was Kevin McClory's lawsuit to be settled oh well all good things come to an end how nice uh I think I think he's very excited though about Bond 24 who isn't I don't know and if you aren't excited about it where's Ussel Should we make some predictions and write them down and see who gets closest? Instead of just saying them out loud on a recorded format? No, I don't think you understand. This goes out live.
Starting point is 00:46:17 It goes out into space where aliens are watching, I Love Lucy, and listening to podcasts. Okay, let's, um, first of all, let's... Prediction number one, just based on that press conference. I don't want this to be the case, but I think Monica Balucci, is the doomed femme fatal and Leis Sedu is the Bond Girl Prime. Bond Girl Prime, okay.
Starting point is 00:46:45 What about you? Prediction from me. Yeah. Denby is a bad guy. Wait. No, you have to do the prediction on the girls? I don't have a prediction on the girls. Well, you got it on ready?
Starting point is 00:46:59 Bond only sleeps with one of them. I agree with that, but which one is the main Bond girl? Denby? We haven't met her yet. No. They haven't cast her. Really? I've decided.
Starting point is 00:47:12 You think. You know, they were looking for two Swedish girls. They have to cast someone named Tracy. Madeline Swan is very English. She is. She is. Well, you know, no one is more English than Diana Rig, who was still alive and could still play that part. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Imagine watching her and Dale Craig make out on the set of Game of Thrones. I'm picturing up. Just going for it. No, you know, I think, yeah, I, Well, what if Monica? I don't know. Okay, so how old is Christoph Waltz? He's got to be late 40s, mid-40s?
Starting point is 00:47:57 I wonder if Monica is going to be like Christoph Waltz's... That's what I'm wondering. His Irma Bunt. Yeah. Which I'd love. Yeah. That would be awesome. Now, I guess, okay, so continuing with that side of the room,
Starting point is 00:48:13 Christoph Waltz himself, are you... On board saying he's Blofeld. I both hope and think he will be Blofeld because I think if they do try to make it a twist, that's already overused at this point. With Moriarty and like it's just... And Khan? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Yes. Yeah. Like there's no... I already don't know why they're hiding the fact that he's Bloisfeld. It does worry me a little bit that they're doing that con thing because if you don't know the history of these films, you shouldn't care. No.
Starting point is 00:48:44 No. You should just know that, like, the bad guy is Blofeld. The bad guy, hey, new cinema goer. Guess what? The bad guy this movie's named Blofeld, and he's played by Christoph Waltz. I don't care. Let me see the movie. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:57 You can have a ticket. Great movie. Oh, now I care that Waltz is Bloffield. Oh, now that you've seen it. Yeah, that's great. Why'd you try to hide it from me? You know what? We made a mistake in marketing.
Starting point is 00:49:07 All right. Now, I'm off to see Rath a Khan. Oh, no. Rath of John Davidson. Whatever. Okay, so we both think that Christopher Falls is Blofeld. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:18 I think Blofeld has to be in this movie, 100%. Yeah, and I do think you're right, Denby is a bad guy. I think Demby is a bad guy. And I think there is a chance that Denby is Blofeld. I hope not. I hope not. I know you hope not.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Yeah. I think there's a chance. In fact, that's my bold prediction. My bold prediction, if this was a Sunday, morning and you're watching some football about to happen. I'm making a bold prediction.
Starting point is 00:49:47 I'm saying Denby, blowfilled. And I'm saying Christoph Waltz, number two. Do you think that this movie, maybe after the cold open, starts with Bond going into M's office and getting an assignment? I fucking hope so. I hope that he goes into,
Starting point is 00:50:10 I think, I hope, here's what I hope. Cold open happens. he goes into the office and he goes, how's the arm, sir? And it's just the same thing from Skyfall and then boom, we're back on board. Which one of these locations do you think is the cold opening? Because I mean, the last one was Turkey.
Starting point is 00:50:29 It's pretty freezing in the Alps. You think that's going to be the cold opening? I'm just saying. No, I think that that's coming later. It's very cold there. It could be the open. I think it'll be maybe Rome. Mexico City.
Starting point is 00:50:40 They're not going to spend time in Mexico City. Are you kidding me? It's Mexico. Go in and out. Yeah, you're right. It's got to be a Mexico city. They're going to cross the border and go to in and out. And then come back.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Do you think Christoph Waltz will shave his head? Oh, I mean, if you're going to go for a bald, a bald, Blofeld. Which I don't think you need to be bald to play both, blowfield. You didn't, in the original movies. Yeah. I don't think you need to be bald to play Blofeld, and I think if you did...
Starting point is 00:51:14 You don't got to be bald to play Bloffeld, and I think if you did... You don't got to be bald to play. Bald to play Bullfeld. I think if you did go Telly Savalas on everybody, I think... Yeah, I'm okay with that. And I think if he does it, he'll do it Monday morning. Yeah, I know. Or when the shooting starts.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Also, but here's the thing, though. If he shaves his head and they're trying to keep this secret, the secret's gone. Yeah, unless he wears a wig. A wig or... I mean, what's more... I guess he'd want to wear a wig in regular life. Yeah, because you... Rather than a bald cap in the movie.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Even a good movie can't pull up a ball. How does your wig doll... wigdar work for bald caps. Pretty well. Would you say it's as strong as your wigdar? Yeah, sure. Wow, sure. The ball caps are easier.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Oh, so you're saying your wigdar is even tuned higher for bald caps? My balddard. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Is impeccable. Second to none. All right, all right. So we've established that. Mr. Hinks, Dave Battista.
Starting point is 00:52:12 What do you think his... His henchman gimmick is. Oh, wow. Good question. Is it not just how ridiculously big he is? I don't. I think it's something else. I think he's got a little something else.
Starting point is 00:52:28 And I'm going to go on, out on a limb. I'm going to say his, at some point he broke his spine, and now his spine is made of, like, titanium alloy. And his entire back is, like, impervious to anything. So he can shoot him in the back a hundred times, and he's not. gonna feel anything. I'm gonna say he
Starting point is 00:52:50 can dislocate any limb at any time, a la Mel Gibson and lethal weapon. Uh-huh. And just like, flail beat you. Very bold prediction.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Just very, very bold prediction. No, that's dumb. Yeah, what is it? I mean, the movies are pretty good with coming up
Starting point is 00:53:16 with villains and henchmen that have disabilities that serve them like the bullet in the brain kind of thing can't feel pain yeah well that that's that's the best henchman in a movie that was in a bad movie
Starting point is 00:53:30 yeah yeah agreed agreed he can push himself longer and harder than any man do you think mr white will be in this do you think it will be quantum yeah yeah i i i think maybe denby is like number
Starting point is 00:53:51 two. Like the Rosa Club. So you're saying Denby's number two. So my reverse, so what I predicted was number two is Christophiles, Denby is Blofeld. Yeah. That's what I predicted. You're saying, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:54:06 You're saying Blofeld is Christoph Waltz and Denby is number two. They'd be so dumb not to use Christoph Waltz all the time. Yeah. So he's in the next movie too. Or even just for this movie, even at the end to twist it that it's not him, it's just it's shooting yourself in the foot I am just
Starting point is 00:54:26 I'm like so anticipating this movie I can't wait for this movie and here's gonna be the hard part staying away from too much info I got too much info on Skyfall I'm gonna watch the trailers and that's it please don't tweet anything that's spoiler
Starting point is 00:54:41 and us please spoiler us because I'm just gonna watch the trailers I've already stopped reading wouldn't you rather hear us speculate for a year than hear us us spoil things? I do know one thing about Christoph Walt's character.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Right. We talked about that. I believe we talked about that on today's episode. Yeah. And that's a character from the books. Yeah. So I'm not going to read anything and I'm going to hope to enjoy my
Starting point is 00:55:07 motion picture going experience when we're in London, England. I can't wait. I can't wait. Even if we don't get to go to the premiere, we can still go opening weekend. Let's take a slowboat now. London and we'll
Starting point is 00:55:21 like media blackout and we'll dock right into the theater you and I attempt to row to two podcasters died the public cries what's a podcast
Starting point is 00:55:38 of hypodrownia were they on cereal no then we don't care my last my last sort of prediction to ask you and sort of to give out myself Okay. Q and Q Branch.
Starting point is 00:55:55 In the field? Yeah, what's what I'm going to ask? Do you think Q branch sets up in the Alps? Oh, man, no. But do you think Ray finds her money penny gets in the field? And then they can have that cute little line about it. I thought fieldwork was done for you. Oh, the official press release description of the film implies that M has a pretty decent-sized role to play.
Starting point is 00:56:19 So some encrypted or cryptic thing from Bond's past, which sounds a lot like Skyfall, how they describe something from M's past. But then half of that is them saying that M is fighting to keep MI6 alive or something like that. Oh. Let me look it up. No, that's a spoiler. Don't look it up. Official release. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:56:41 You're okay with that? Oh, yeah. I'm fine with anything they want to give. Ah. Because they know what I like that. That's why trailers and press release stuff is fine. Okay, Specter press release. So, you know what?
Starting point is 00:57:00 What? I don't want our backs against the wall again. I don't either. And that's what that sounds like to me. Yeah, I want, like, MI6, do your thing. Don't tell us about it. Yeah. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:57:13 You'll, did you, have you seen the imitation game yet? No. See it. I love that story. There's an MI6 guy in it. Oh, really? And he is, this guy looks and acts like Ian Fleming's description of James Bond. Really?
Starting point is 00:57:30 Yeah. And do you think that's intentional? It has to be. It has to be. I'm not getting any service. So what was it? Was it the press release from them? Yeah, just, I think.
Starting point is 00:57:41 And when did it come up? Today. It was with that whole thing. It was, but it was their, like, published press release. and that's where they tell you Monica Balucci's name too Salvador Spacillucci Uh Official press release from James Bond Lifestyle
Starting point is 00:58:05 Yeah yeah yeah Look at that logo You love that logo That is fantastic Whoever is responsible for that logo And I know you're out there Well done Okay I think this is the press release
Starting point is 00:58:19 Okay Spector, the 24th James Bond is set to begin production. The movie will be directed by Sam Mendes produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli and stars Daniel Craig as James Bond 307. Where was Michael G. Wilson today? He's probably prepping for his cameo.
Starting point is 00:58:34 In a press event earlier today, the title of the cast is officially announced, including the introduction of Rainierasted Martin, the DB10. James Bond producers, Michael G. Wilson, and Michael, oh God, release Spector. The film from Albert Broccoli's Eon Productions, Metro Goldwell,
Starting point is 00:58:49 when Mayor Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment is directed by Sam Mendes, stars Daniel Craig, who returns as Ian Fleming's James Bond, begins printable photography on Monday, December 8th, and is set for Global Release, November 6th, 2015. Global release, it comes out everywhere the same day. I know they changed the English. We don't have to go to England. No. We should go anyway. Yeah, we should. Well, we'll get to see it eight hours earlier.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Yeah. Yeah. Along with Dale Craig Mendez presented the returning cast, Ray Fines, Naomi Harris, Ben Wisha, Wush, wish, whatever we're calling him, Ben, you know, Q. Rory Keneer, as well as introducing Christoph Waltz, Leah Sedu, Dave Batista, Monica Balucci, and Andrew Scott. Vendez also revealed Bond's sleek, new-assin-Martin, the DB-10, is created exclusively for Specter.
Starting point is 00:59:35 It doesn't like, I don't like the sounds of that. A cryptic message from Bond's past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. That's got to be delivered by M in a dossier. That sounds promising. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, oh, God. Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind Specter. Okay, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:59:59 I think I know what's going on here. Go. The cryptic message from Bond's past sounds quantum-related. Okay. And maybe the battle that M is fighting is quantum, like, trying to stifle M-6 from inside. Or what if Quantum is like, James? Don't worry about us. You got to fucking kill Spector.
Starting point is 01:00:25 They're worse than we are. There's always a bigger fish. We're here to just fucking make money. They're here to extort and revenge. It's right. Okay. I'm curious. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:38 All right. Where else we're on? 707 production will be based in Pinewood Studios, location in London, Mexico City, Rome, Tangier, and Erfurt in Morocco. Bond will return to the snow once again, this time in Saldon, along with other Austrian locations. Arburtalach, Obertiliac. And Lake Altusi. Altze.
Starting point is 01:01:01 I like to Altusi. Commenting on the announcement, Wilson and Broccoli said, we're excited to announce the Daniel's fourth installment in the series and thrilled that Sam has taken on the challenge of following on the success of Skyfall with Specter. Written by John Logan, Neil Purvis and Robert Wade, director of photography is Hoyt Van Hoytner.
Starting point is 01:01:24 I wonder what Lee Smith has edited before. Promotional partners. Oh, this is a fun one. Promotional partners return to the Bond franchise include Aston Martin, Bollinger, Heineken, Jaguar Land Rover, Omega, Sony Electronics, and Sony Mobile. So James is still using a Sony telephone.
Starting point is 01:01:40 That's crazy that Land Rover is in there, Jaguar Land Rover just like as the utility car they'll take what they can get. Well, Jaguar, I mean, I don't know. I don't know what I mean. Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond Fielding was a worldwide boxhouse phenomenon opening number one in 70 territories around the world,

Starting point is 01:04:49 might as well put it out now. This will come out this might not come out until Saturday. Why? Depending on how long it takes Katie to put it up. Oh, Katie.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Vuto Kill be coming very soon. Yep. And then we'll have this last batch to get through but that probably will not take us up to the opening of Spector. So we'll likely, let's be realistic.
Starting point is 01:05:11 We'll take a little break after we get done with it. We'll take a little break. But guess what, everybody? Yeah. After Octopussy, we're doing Never Say Never Again. Oh. You want to consult me on that? I've decided that just now.
Starting point is 01:05:24 Okay. Well, after Never Say Never Again? Actually, you know what we're going to do is never say never again. So we'll have to go Vuto a Kill, Moonraker, Never Say Never Again, and then Vita because that's the order in which they were released. Okay, say that again. So I'm saying Never Say Never Again was released before Vuto Kill that summer. No, Octopussy. Before Octopus.
Starting point is 01:05:49 It was. It came. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So we'll have to go. Oh, I guess we'll have to go Octopussy. Yeah, wait.

Starting point is 01:06:25 And then the next film podcast, because we probably won't get to the old casino royale. That's... No, I'm not watching that. Oh, the 60s casino rail I would watch. Oh, you thought I meant like the... I thought you meant the black and white telephone. But realistically, when I may not get to the... that right away, but then the next movie could
Starting point is 01:06:41 feasibly be Specter. What a day. It's less than a year away. I'm very excited. Do you know what kind of month of movie that's going to be Skyfall into the Force Awakens? And then next the year after that will be, I said Skyfall. I know. Skyfall
Starting point is 01:07:00 2. Skyfall Skyfall 2. The Force awakens. The Force goes back to bed. The Force gets up for a drink of water. And then the Avengers return. Oh, and then the force has a bad drink. And then the force can't sleep. The force shouldn't have had that drink so late.
Starting point is 01:07:16 I know, and then the force sleeps in, and then the force misses work, and then the force's wife leaves the force. Because the force got fired. Now the force can only provide for the force's family. Yeah, and it turns out it's a repressive 50s, and the force really has his eye on the neighbor.
