Do any of them think that a petition is going to have any effect when the movie's already filmed and about to be released everywhere?
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hey. New board.
Maybe they think Pierce Brosnan will be appreciative and give them all oral sex or something.

it looks like they're actually going back to when Bond became a double-Oh.
That's exactly what they're doing.
I didn't pay enough attention to the trailer to see if they tried to make it look like it was set in the past or if they still stick with a contemporary storyline.
It's set in contemporary times. It's a complete reset, but they're not turning the clock back at all.

Awesome! We can start a whole new franchise without the cheese factor.

I like a lot about that trailer. At the very least, the marketing team for this movie understand what people want out of a Bond film.
My worry is that the pop psychology of What Makes Bond Bond will be annoyingly pat, but hopefully it will be keep to a minimum.
I saw The Covenant earlier this morning (DH is reviewing it, and I had nowhere better to be), and now I'm at work. Blech on both counts. (I think I would have enjoyed The Covenant more had the actors been even remotely distinguishable, but of the 5 guys, 3 of them look exactly alike. I think they were trying to make the hero and the villain mirror images or something, but the overall effect was that I couldn't tell them apart, and had no reason to care. It was like watching a cut-rate WB pilot.)

Jessica, is The Covenant going to make me laugh and laugh and laugh, much like The Craft did? Because if that's the case, I may not wait for DVD.

I swear, when I first saw the trailer to that thing I thought David DeCoteau had somehow gotten a theatrical release for one of his Voodoo Academy style mannequin fests. But it's by one of the executive producers behind Underworld.

It really looks like the stupidest, most purile idea for a movie I've ever seen.

I'm sure Uwe Boll is working on another video game movie right now that will reclaim the crown.

It's almost too boring to be funny. Of the terrible movies in theatres now, I highly recommend The Wicker Man. (If, of course, you've seen the original. Aside from spoiling the ending, I'm not sure it'd be as funny to someone who wasn't aware of how completely LaBute was missing the point.)
