James Bond: Blood Stone

[Mooияakeя™]

With Bond (films) in limbo... Salvation for Bondites. In the form of a game. Starring Daniel Craig as James Bond and Judi Dench as M. The game also stars Joss Stone who sings the theme song "I'll Take It All" (apparantly written by Stone and Dave Stewart).

Not brand new news, but no thread and I'm actually looking forward to it!

lol yeah

Cool song tho.

[Droford]

Im more interested in Goldeneye Wii..

[Mooияakeя™]

I'm actually hyped for this. Bring it on. Still don't understand how the studio can't produce a film that with rake profits in.

[Kalyx triaD]

Won't see a 007 film in a while, because they didn't rake profits in.

Bond pretty much lives in the games for now.

[Mooияakeя™]

Oh i'm sorry.

Yeah, I don't really get it. That's a pretty beefy profit, if I've ever seen one.

Probably would have been even more if Kalyx didn't support piracy.

[Funky Fly]

It's not Bond that's not profitable, it's MGM. There's no doubt that MGM is going under, and that means no Bond for a while until the franchise finds a new home.

Har d har har

Maybe they should try making movies with smaller budgets? $200 million for a Bond movie is stupid.

[Funky Fly]

No it's not. Lots of Bond movies have big name stars, multiple elaborate sets, expensive vehicles and explosions up the wazoo. Shit is expensive.

[Mooияakeя™]

I'm sure they could "ease against future profits". or whatever it's called.

They could film two films at once and release them both in a year. If they go 3D they'll rake it fucking in too. £10 to see a 3D film is 'double your money - try to get rich' style. See Avatar. Stupid money.

[Funky Fly]

Dunno, Avatar's budget was half a billion dollars. They made bank, but it was a hell of a gamble.

[Mooияakeя™]

Apparantly it was $237 million, with $150 million for promotion. $400 for $2bn+ profits. Fucking hell.

[D Mac]

Only a 5.0 from IGN. Ouch

[Rammsteinmad]

I don't like Daniel Craig as James Bond.

[Funky Fly]

Me neither. But then his movies haven't felt like Bond movies at all, so that might be affecting my opinion of the portrayal.

[Rammsteinmad]

To be honest, I just can't stand him in any film. The guy is an awful actor. And isn't he supposed to be a prequel Bond? How the fuck can that be when he looks older than all the other Bond actors combined?

[D Mac]

Nah, Craig rules. Bond is supposed to be gritty and emotionless.

[Funky Fly]

Nah, Craig rules. Bond is supposed to be gritty and emotionless.

Bond is supposed to be charming and witty. I'll watch American action films for gritty and emotionless.
