The Daniel Craig/Nicole Kidman/Jeffrey Wright sci-fi horror flick THE VISITING has now been moved from its 2006 release to 07.
Probably not a good thing as far as Craig and Casino Royale are concerned, as this would have given Craig some important exposure to mainstream audiences before CR's release. As it is now, he only has the indie flick Infamous (in which he's part of a big ensemble cast) out in October.

They wanna profit off his new noteriety. A smart business move for them.
  I didn't know Felix Leiter was in it. Cool. They should have some good chemstry in CR since they already know each other.

The marketing campaign for The Visiting is going to have "James Bond" written everywhere.
 Good for The Visiting, bad for Casino Royale.

Still, I think the public is still slowly getting more and more acquanted with him and the new Bond role.   ~ Nobody Knows Me Like You Know Me ~ 'People Look Up. Things Fall Down.

So far EON has been lucky that Craig has been critically acclaimed for most of his roles, at least two of his most recent - considering the more recent hubbub about him. The same two films were also pretty much critically acclaimed. What if ... The Visiting sucks. Maybe not Craig, but the film. It potentially could have a negative effect. You never know though. This is probably a smart business move for them anyway. I never really cared for the film idea. I mean yet another Invasion of the Body Snatchers type of story. Hell theres already a TV show....  |

Yes, I am sure this ploy is supposed to play off the "coattails" of CASINO ROYALE, which is not such a good move since I believe the 007 movie will be a total flop.

This clearly proves that Craig is not Bond!

Seems like (judging solely by these IMDb posts) Fall 2006 is what their shooting for - http://imdb.com/title/tt0427392/board/flat/36977784

You will release this film in 2006...
 ..I can't wait for this flick. The 1978 version of 'Invasion Of The Body Snatchers' is one of my favourite sci-fi/horror movies and the ending gave me nightmare's for days afterwards when i saw it as a kid. If this is half as good, we'll be in for a treat. |

QUOTE(dunmall @ 16 March 2006 - 02:35) watch the original it's even better...stear clear of the 1993 version though, nice idea, good (indie) director and cast, bad execution... I've seen Don Siegal's original many times and as brilliant as it is, it's Philip Kaufman's remake that just edges it for me. I love the way he (Kaufman) creates an unnerving sense of paranoia and forboding through subtle, yet effect direction. On the fascinating dvd audio commentary, he reveals how he walked through the streets of San Francisco filming Donald Sutherland with a handheld camera hidden inside a rolled up newspaper to create a sense of paranoid despair and claustrophobia - it works extremely well. I also love how he never eases up on the tension and just when you think there's light at the end of the tunnel, he hits you with that ending. My fiancé watched it for the very first time the other night and the look of horror on her face at the end gave me great pleasure.It's good to see that almost 30 years on, it still has the ability to shock. I agree with you about the 1993 version..whilst it's an interesting take on the story, the execution is rather poor and it fails to come anywhere near it's two predecessors. Hopefully this latest incarnation will capture the essence of the first two versions.I'm certainly looking forward to watching Craig flex his acting chops next to Kidman. |
