http://www.timeout.com/film/features/show-...-of-solace.html  I feel rather concerened over the hasty editing thing, I really hope this doesn't effect the final quality of the film.  I'm Motivated By My Duty! |

Roll out the usual experts...

I particularly like this bit on Babs and Mikey.
"They promised me, and they have kept to their word so far, to fight for my creative vision. I’m thankful for that. But let’s see what happens when I show them the first cut…" That's great news for future directors, who may have been put off in the past from directing Bond films  Come on Haggis, you can do it

I find that a wonderfully encouraging interview, especially the talk about taking things a step further than CASINO ROYALE. Hopefully that bears out in the finished film. Nothing I've heard about it makes me think that Forster's comment is accurate, but given the little we know, I'm going to give Forster the benefit of the doubt.

I wonder when this interview actually took place? It says they finished filming the week before and only had 6 weeks to deliver a first cut. Shouldn't that have already passed by now - or coming up soon?

I like that Forster is reaffirming his commitment to a character-driven film. I continue to believe in him to deliver on this.
I worry about his ability to do the stellar editing that is required in a timeframe that he is not used to. We know that Bond films can be edited in this span, but Forster himself says that 6 weeks is not what he familiar with. Let's hope he can pull it off.

Isn't it the director's job to set and stick to a schedule, including the film editing? Is MF already distancing himself?  |

QUOTE (dodge @ 12 August 2008 - 10:35) Isn't it the director's job to set and stick to a schedule, including the film editing? Not when he's subservient to the producers. It's really EON that sets the timetable on a Bond film. QUOTE (dodge @ 12 August 2008 - 10:35) Is MF already distancing himself? I don't think so. He takes ownership of the film in the interview and is exceedingly courteous to EON. |

Another really encouraging piece from Forster. I'm looking forward to the Opera house sequence...

Sounds encouraging.
Editing squeeze shouldn't be too much of a problem, Forster has only ever had one editor per film before (always Chesse) and his second here, Richard Pearson, has good form - he's another Bourne veteran |

I think the film's release date has much (probably almost everything) to do with it. Forster also discusses Christopher Nolan's work on The Dark Knight in this interview and seems to lament he had a year(!) to cut that movie. I imagine there's far more work to do on that film in terms of editing and special effects than on Quantum of Solace, but it is an epic difference.  visit my new blog: |
