Sam Mendes: Skyfall Will Be 'Very English,' Very Digital
Not this again: "The eye behind such films as No Country for Old Men and The Assassination of Jesse James, [Roger] Deakins takes Bond into the digital age. Mendes promises his darker tone will bleed directly over to the physical look of the movie. 'I've worked with Roger twice [on Jarhead and Revolutionary Road], so I feel very comfortable in that relationship. There's a shorthand. You look at each other and know what you're thinking. He's a true artist. Right from the start of directing, I realized the most important two relationships were with my leading actors and the director of photography. You'll see in the teaser trailer that it has a very distinct look that does have elements of noir and British '60s. It's very English — a lot is set in England.'" [Hollywood.com]

All right, enough is enough. I'm calling for a Director Deathmatch: Team Digital vs. Team Film. Representing TD: David Fincher, Sam Mendes, Steven Soderbergh, Michael Mann, James Cameron, Robert Rodriguez. Representing TF: Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg. And then there's Marty Scorsese in Team 3D....
1st Round: Fincher vs. Spielberg. Spielberg attempts to run Fincher over with Joey The Horse but quickly finds himself locked in a basement as Fincher wields a power saw. It doesn't end well for Spielberg as his head is removed and then sent to Nolan via cardboard box. Check back later for round 2.
Ha! Someone really should make this.
I'd put Paul Thomas Anderson in the film group too. He's a little irrational about all that crap.
P.T. Anderson vs. Michael Mann... I have a feeling bowling pins and sub machine guns will be the weapons of choice. THAT will be an ace round for sure!
I was looking at some of your content on this site and I think this website is really informative! Keep on putting up.
