Theatrical Films Considered

Outside the door, foggy horizons cloud everything. Inside the door, the latest James Bond film “Quantum of Solace,” just started playing. Toshiba has successfully developed reasonably high quality digital video upconverting technology that allows video from a standard DVD to play at near HD quality using an HDMI cable. Without question, the video upconverting technology has significantly hampered the development of a standalone Blu-ray disc player market. Accepting the current economic realities should increase the level of consideration given to the video on demand (VOD) and video rental business markets.

After watching the latest James Bond film, “Quantum of Solace,” one question bubbled to the surface. Are the newest James Bond films ignoring a twenty film legacy in favor of mimicking the stylized action sequences of the Jason Bourne films? The theatrical potential of the Jason Bourne franchise has probably been completely exhausted. The James Bond franchise will probably continue indefinably fulfilling audience desires for action films. At some point, the movie studio will accept the failures of the current James Bond and the series will reboot.
