I'm uprezing some very old SD work and a 30 second commercial takes 1.5 days to render on my 2023 Mac mini pro. Had to upgrade to a $7500 Mac studio just for that. Don't know why you guys think AI is democratizing filmmaking. It's final form is beyond expensive.

I had a ton of fun making this and paying homage to my Hong Kong heroes, Mr Jackie Chan in particular. Working with this great crew and exceptionally talented cast was a riot, as you’ll see!
I don't think you can fake big franchise movies. In music videos, I have to like the song and the artist. Some part of me has to become a superfan in order to be creatively engaged. It's hard to fake four minutes. Can't imagine faking two hours. You'd have to be dead inside.
You know, America can play the same game and honeypot the Chinese with hot blonde chicks. No Asian CEO can resist the exotic mysteries of Midwestern Sydney Sweeneys in jean shorts.
I suspect a big reason they're trying to keep Bond young is they want to be able to cast young love interests. They want to avoid the decade+ age discrepancies. But you know what? That's the whole point to Bond. International playboy/spy/ice cold killer. A man who's been around the block and can fight, fuck, drink, gamble at the behest of His Majesty. The most interesting Bond is the older one. Last Man Standing who keeps grinding away keeping old world order in new world disorder.
