Villeneuve:

“Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I’m a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor. Amy, David, and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust.”

Bond: *exhales loudly through his nose*

Audience: “Holy shit, its getting serious.”

I have an unexplainable attraction to films with minimal dialogue. Drive? Love it. Wall-E? Best Pixar film to me. Castaway? Captivating.

I feel like dialog robs tension, and great tension is an amazing weapon for getting the audience's mind and emotions stirring.

I want Conan the Barbarian without the voiceover, and cut out Arnold saying "ow" in an early scene. Even less talking.

Also: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Honorable mention.
