    Reading some of what he is reported to have said about Knives Out and Benoit Blanc, I get the feeling that like many artists he is hungry for a change in direction and to explore new possibilities rather than ride the gravy train.

        Dune, version #3

        Soon to be released, but who knows how good it'll be, how it'll compare to earlier versions.
        How disgusting will the Harkonnen be?
        How much rote animation will be saturated in scenes?

        1990 GSX750F-(1127cc '92 GSXR engine) track bike, much re-engineered

          I am hopeful, but not optimistic. Such a wonderful book, but so hard to translate to film.

            No. He's done, Rob. In fact, other than Connery, whose pull as the first big name Bond allowed Never Say Never Again to come to pass, Bonds have a shelf life that begins with someone in their mid to late 30's or early 40's and ends in their mid to late 50's. You just don't (and won't) see a geriatric Bond.

              I watched a short documentary on the making of this film, and it truly looks to be impressive. The filmmakers seem to have understood how important getting the scale of the story represented is, and how critical it is to have the right actors play the lead roles in each faction. I'll definitely be seeing it.

                And now for something completely different: House of Gucci looks like it's going to be incredible. I love Ridley Scott films in general, and the cast on this one is amazing.

                  Helpful refresher/summary of the book; Dune

                  Watch this only if you already know the trials and outcome.

                      I think you're deliberately missing the historical point. In fact, Connery was only 52 in Never Say Never Again. Audiences do not want a geezer Bond. The next one should be Idris Elba, but since he has already begged off, I say it should be someone like Chiwetel Ejiofor.

                        As the most popular Bond in the post-Connery era, we'll see if he can resist the money in 7 years.

                          As suggested above (and by movies he's been doing lately), I think the writing is on the wall that he's done with Bond. Knives Out 2 is coming, as is a different Bond. Logan Lucky, by the way, is a fun Craig outing. Much like Dave Bautista, I think Craig is looking to diversify his roles and to reduce the physicality of them as he ages. Smart fellas.

                            Elba said he'd love to do a bond film but he's too busy with other projects at this time, so it's not a hard no. His physical presence is such that he can pull it off even at 49 and another decade more.

                              Kate for a female version of John Wick. It was entertaining in John Wick style, gratuitous violence high kill count.

                                I think he may end up missing out. James Bond has to be of a certain age, and even hearty and hale stars such as Connery and Craig bow out due to age and public perception. It's not like a KISS tour.
