JAMES BOND star Daniel Craig wants to "kill Bond for a spectacular finale" and director Danny Boyle quit over the "ridiculous" plot plans, according to a shock new report.



Craig made no secret of his unwillingness to return to play OO7 but surely this is taking it a bit far?
After Bond 25 director Boyle sensationally quit earlier this week, speculation has been mounting as to what actually went wrong.
The fact that Craig's name was prominently included in the official statement was confirmation of just how much power the star wields over his final outing as the iconic British agent.
It is no surprise he wants to make a dramatic ending to his tenure in the role, but now it is being reported that he wants to kill the character off on screen
The initial reports exposed a clash between Boyle and Craig over the director's script for a Russian cold war-style plot and Russian villain.

Now The Sun has revealed an even more dramatic twist.
The report said: "Daniel Craig... and producer Barbara Broccoli are believed to have wanted to Bond to die in a 'spectacular finale', according to sources. But Oscar-winner Boyle, 61, refused to kill off the secret agent, labeling the idea 'ridiculous.'"
What would happen next sounds even more bizarre.

Danny Boyle’s James Bond vision not met says Paterson


The planned death leaves two equally unsatisfactory options.
The first possibility would mean starting Bond 26 with a new star in the lead role and some kind of explanation that OO7 didn't actually die after all. This is an extremely cumbersome and leaves the spectre of Craig hanging over his successor.
The second, according to the Sun, opens up the possibilty "there could be a Doctor Who-esque regeneration with a new actor."
Surely that is utterly ridiculous?

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...

Stevie Wonder, his Musicality, and his Humanity.

#Humanity #Music #SongsintheKeyofLife #StevieWonder " Songs in the Key of Life " To say this Album means Everything to me is an understatement. Throughout his conceptual album, Stevie both sings and writes of Peace, Love, Identity, Faith, Environmental Consciousness, and Cultural Awareness , to name a few. When the album was released, I was ten years old. I spent countless hours reading the liner notes—the lyrics for all the songs. I wanted to know all the people who wrote, sang, played on the album. Much of the album's depth was far too over my head as a ten-year-old, and only a few years later (Lol) do I have a little more understanding of what he was giving us. I've seen Stevie Wonder three times in my life. The first was in church, not long after moving to Los Angeles. The second time while attending Oprah's Farwell show (thanks to my brother Corey & sister in law Carrie), the third time was when my sister Sharon (R.I.P.) bought tickets for all of us ...
