And what about the next James Bond flick have heard zero.

I heard something about the next James Bond film.

Apparently it won't be taking place in the Craig continuity, but in the original continuity, with Sean Connery reprising the role of James Bond. The plot revolves around an old, decrepit Bond with syphilis who comes out of retirement to save the world from the evil hybrid clone of Dr. No & Blofeld who is growing a clone army of Baron Samedis to use in his quest for world domination. This Bond film is to be the closing chapter of the original James Bond's story, with Bond dying in service to his Queen and country.

There are rumours that David Lynch had been hired to direct.

NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! That's almost as bad as Tarantino! But wait....it kinda sounds a bit like the genius 1967 film...now that would be interesting...with Lynch, Polanski, Ken Russell and Nicholas Roeg as the co-directors.

But the new film is supposed to be directed by Sam Mendes and out in late 2012. They're going to try to make Bond an art film. It started creeping in during the mess of Quantum. This next one will be more "classical", meaning they will just take a step closer to the kind of movie they made a franchise out of, but still fall short of making any kind of actual statement or something worth the ticket.

Tintin is going to be my final end-all litmus test for Spielberg. If it works, then he will have proven his mettle. But likely I will be just as disappointed as usual. And then I will completely give up on his output. (I haven't liked anything post 87 anyway, save for Crusade.)
