Naïve Old Fart 4904 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I had that problem, with INTERSTELLAR. Even allowing for the fact that I saw it in IMAX, it was far too loud, and the dialogue was often incomprehensible. Thinking back, it didn't seem to have much of a dynamic range, which might have played a part. At least with home cinema, one is able to boost the centre speaker output.

Even allowing for the fact that I saw it in IMAX, it was far too loud, and the dialogue was often incomprehensible. Absolutely a benefit of home cinema, being able to control the volume. But the problem with Tenet isn't dialogue buried in the mix, it's the dialogue itself being muffled and incomprehensible. Boosting the center channel wouldn't have improved anything; it's as if they only used on-set audio and didn't ADR anything, regardless of whether dialogue was intelligible or not. Just a horrible film experience. Enough to make me avoid any Nolan movie theatrically from now on, if he thought this was acceptable. Link to post Share on other sites

Edmilson 1949 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 14 hours ago, crumbs said: Does the financial viability of the studio rely on this film being a massive success? Well, it's MGM, so yeah, it does. Unlike Disney, Warner, Universal, etc., they don't have other movies as big as No Time to Die, this is their only blockbuster for the foreseeable future. I wasn't surprised when they tried to get some fast cash by selling the movie to streamers a few months ago. They need this movie to do extraordinarily well for them.

Sweeping Strings 889 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 And there it is ... a gap between series entries that will now equal the one from LTK to Goldeneye. Makes one nostalgic for when they came along every 2 years ... I can only hope the time is being used for casting work on the 7th lead actor and the writing of movie no. 26.

MattyO 34 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The biggest downside to this (aside from the horror of the rampaging virus throughout the world) is that this move will further delay any future Bond expansions from LLL.

Jay 19027 Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 No Time To Die will require reshoots because by the time the film’s finally released, the gadgets will be noticeably outdated Quote The details of the gadgets and things are all kept tightly under wraps, but everyone knows that James Bond always carries the latest kit with him. The problem is that some of those things were the very latest models back when they started filming. But by the time the movie comes out now it will look like Daniel Craig and all of the other cast members are carrying something that has been out for ages. That isn’t really the point of these deals. The big tech firms want the stars to have all the new up-and-coming products to help promote them and sell them to fans. It means some of the scenes are going to have to be very carefully edited and looked at to bring things up to date. Link to post Share on other sites
HunterTech 117 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Are reshoots that necessary for just a couple of gadgets? Seems like something you could easily do in the edit. Besides, I think people will be fairly understanding with this being a film that was made for an earlier release in mind, so it just seems like an odd thing to put more money into (besides tech companies demanding it).

Jay 19027 Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 It's about specific product placement: The companies who paid for their products to be in the film want 2021 versions of their products in the film now, not 2019 versions Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 102 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 That's hilarious. I wonder who expects who to pay for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 19027 Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Well Nokia is one of them Quote One such vendor is cell phone manufacturer Nokia, who have gone as far as shooting an ad to promote their “latest” model with Lashana Lynch’s Nomi. However, the ad you’re about to see ran in September, in anticipation of a November 2020 release date; which means this phone is probably in the public’s hands, and doesn’t feel as exotic or Bond-ian.

Richard Penna 1353 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 My god, that's a cheesy ad. I certainly see their point - having two year old gadgets in a Bond film is pointless. I'll bet that's not an editing challenge they expected. Link to post Share on other sites

If the film actually releases this November, it will be 3 years after production start (a full year longer than the gap between Craig's first two Bond films!) I wonder if they regret parting ways with Danny Boyle after spending all that time developing his version. Edmilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites

danbeck 37 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Yes, it is scheduled to open on Sept. 30 here in Brazil.

If I am not mistaken one aspect of this category should be, if the song actually fits or supports the media in an appropriate way and not only if it is a nice sounding song. Ok. At a James Bond movie you know more or less what to expect.But that is in a way unfair for other media who first have to proof that the song fits by being published already.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6387 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 A lot of people seemed to dislike the song and I have to admit that despite being okay with it on a first listen 17 months ago, the singer makes the rounds in tabloidy articles in the Post as a miserable green-haired Antifa girl, which has slightly soured it for me.
