[QUOTE="03SoCalCobra, post: 3585756, member: 3979"] A bunch of total nut bags sent several hundred emails to the MGM and Sony senior executives to protest the "dilution of the Bond franchise" with an "ugly blond unknown actor" and threatining to boycott the film. Luckily they weren't very bright (go figure) so almost none made their way to the intended targets, but it got some lite media attention. That being said, I haven't seen the clips yet but I bet it will be at minimum, a very good film. The studio's are generally not that stupid- they might not make the right up-front choices for a new film, but they do know when a film is a bomb well before it's released; the problem is they don't know until the majority of the cost is sunk into it. A film is considered to break-even when the gross is twice what it cost to shoot. Bond isn't scheduled to finish shooting until early July with an estimate Nov release, so whatever you're seeing is just a small chunk - the movie can go many ways. The Bond series has a lot of potential; especially considering the budget (and even among films considered to be big-budget, Bond is definitly swingin' a big sack). With a major actor change and the email/media visability it'll have a lot of internal attention and the editors should get good stock to work with- if the post production team is on the ball we'll see a really great movie . They'll be under a lot of pressure to put out something pretty freekin' decent with this one. [/QUOTE]
