Article on prequel films. Note: Does not pertain to Godfather II, which isn't a prequel - it's a sequel with extended flashback sequences - or a partial prequel to some. — Page 5

Dude, have you ever wondered if you're, like, a butterfly just imagining you're a man?  And that it's corporations that are, like, inventing words, and trying to control your life?  I think about that, and sometimes it makes me cry.

I'm with The Boost on this. There's more concern in this thread for continuity than the actually people making these properties.

You don't want to be that kid. Trying to work out, or should I say make the continuity fit, for the Bond films, the Incredible Hulk films (now there's a new Banner in the Avengers - Mark Ruffalo) and Superman Returns will just give you an aneurysm.

I'm well aware of the fan theory about the possibility of James Bond being a sort of code name for certain OO agents but does that mean the CIA has an equivalent in Felix Leiter? No it's just fans being fans.

As a casual Bond viewer (I don't choose to watch the Moore films) I'm glad they kept Dame Judi around. Sure it completely f**ks up the reboot aspect of it but she's awesome so they'll keep her around as long as Dame Judi wants to be a part of them/make money.

Now I just want to talk Bond.

I want the third Craig film to feature a male Moneypenny. Each 'assistant' to Dench's M has been male so why stop now.

I don't think that having Judi Dench screws up the reboot aspect.  Since a reboot is taking all that has been continuity and wiping the slate clean, M can be anybody... even Judi Dench.  Hell, they could have kept the entire previous cast and just pretended that none of the prior events had happened.

Good point. That's what I choose to believe. But Joe Average might be confused. Poor Joe. If he even remembers Judi Dench.

Of course not.  Prequel has two Es, not just one.

I gave you an "e" in prequal, but it wasn't enough for you was it?!?!

NEVAR!

His response video. I can only imagine how nervous he was... I remember practically freezing up when I got the chance to ask Eva Marie-Saint a question when she was the panelist at a screening of North by Northwest I attended - and I was never even clearly diagnosed with any level of the autism spectrum (in fact, I frequently joke I'm so messed up they can't give me a label). Even if it's just a stupid video game convention, getting up in front of those ridiculous amounts of people is nerve-wrecking, even if you know exactly what you're planning on doing.

The Eric Bana one ends with Banner hiding from the government in the Amazon, which is where the Ed Norton one begins.  Therefore, sequel.

Cool, now I don't have to watch the Bana one! :p

Man, count yourself lucky. I will never get those 138 minutes of my life back. I think I could actually feel my IQ dropping during the last half hour or so...

Don't think so.  It was made before all the Marvel movie crossovers (that all began with Iron Man, I believe).

 I just listened to a NbNW panel with Mz. Saint.  Was it the Creative Screenwriting Podcast, by any chance?
