THERE’S been so much talk about DANIEL CRAIG’s replacement as 007 that it feels as though the new Bond flick can’t be too far off.
But I’ve learned that it won’t hit screens until late 2018 at the earliest – because producer BARBARA BROCCOLI is planning to make two other movies first.
She is currently in London shooting Film Stars Don’t Die with JAMIE BELL, and a source said: “Barbara is not going to be rushed into a Bond and wants to work on two other film projects next year.
“It will give her time to work out a script and try to convince Daniel to maybe return.”

One direction.. but separate paths
A YEAR ago LOUIS TOMLINSON and LIAM PAYNE were inseparable as part of ONE DIRECTION – but now they are set on very different courses.
While Louis spent the week guest-judging on America’s Got Talent and catching a film with girlfriend DANIELLE CAMPBELL Liam was putting pen to paper on a huge deal with Capitol UK.
And he will head into the studio later this year to work on his debut solo album.
Tweeting a pic of the iconic label Liam revealed yesterday: “Happy to have signed to @CapitolUK. They have an amazing history of artists, I hope I can follow in their footsteps.
“One Direction will always be my home and family but I’m very excited to see what this chapter brings.”
The move isn’t good news for 1D fans still hoping for a reunion.
Liam has turned his back on Sony, which gave the band their record deal and released all five of their albums.
Both HARRY STYLES and ZAYN MALIK have stuck to Sony imprints for their solo careers.
Meanwhile, between auditions on the US talent show Louis gave a rare insight into his life as dad to seven-month-old son Freddie.
New pallapa live. He told fellow judge MEL B: “I didn’t think I’d be having a kid at this age, but it is incredible.”
I suppose being a full-time dad is a valid excuse for not hurrying back into the studio.
A Thirl-wind romance
LITTLE MIX star JADE THIRLWALL first met rocker boyfriend JED ELLIOTT through bandmate JESY NELSON and her RIXTON fiancé JAKE ROCHE – but six months on Jade and Jed are challenging their matchmaking pals for the title of music’s most loved-up couple.
The duo are so smitten, Jade has even taken on the role of alpha groupie to join his band THE STRUTS on their US tour.
But their relationship now faces its toughest test yet.
In his first chat about the romance, bassist Jed – whose band opened for THE ROLLING STONES in 2014 – talked about the prospect of spending six weeks away from his girlfriend.
He said: “Jade has been out with us on the bus for the last five days, but we’re about to spend our longest time apart since we’ve been together.
“This is our first test. You will notice the next Little Mix and The Struts albums will be full of tales of long-distance troubles across the ocean, ‘Songs of Lust’.
“I’m touring over here in the US until Christmas, but I’m hoping to book a nice holiday for Jade afterwards – somewhere nice for her birthday on Boxing Day.”
There could even be wedding bells on the cards, just like Jesy and Jake.
Jed said: “It’s early days for a proposal at the moment, but we’ve had the vote of confidence from fans on Instagram.”
The race down the aisle is on . . .
Peek at you, Rita
I HOPE there were no keen Pokemon hunters on the prowl in New York yesterday – as RITA ORA could easily have been mistaken for Pikachu.
Dressed head to toe in yellow she looked the spitting image of the cute character.
But one man who had no chance of catching her was LEWIS HAMILTON. The Formula One ace was sunning himself on a yacht with another woman in Saint-Tropez just weeks after enjoying a secret holiday with Rita.
But not to give her the wrong impression, he confirmed on Instagram that he was with a girl named Sara who is “one of my dearest family friends, for over 10yrs”.
I expect Rita was too busy with Poke-Battles to notice.
But not to give her the wrong impression, he confirmed on Instagram that he was with a girl named Sara who is “one of my dearest family friends, for over 10yrs”.
THE first album chart was published exactly 60 years ago today. To celebrate, Official Charts presented SIR PAUL McCARTNEY with its Record Breaker Award as the most successful album artist ever with 22 No1 hits, including 15 with THE BEATLES and one with his wife LINDA.
Yesterday he said: “It feels unbelievable, because when you write your songs you don’t count how well they’re doing.”
Trust me Paul, they’ve done pretty well.
Two huge pieces of 007 news dropped in the middle of the night. Download aplikasi google untuk laptop. First, EON and MGM have found a new director for their 25th official James Bond movie. Second, they have also found a new release date for Daniel Craig’s fifth (and presumably final) 007 flick.
Cary Fukunaga has been tapped to replace the departed Danny Boyle in the director’s chair. It’s an outside-the-box choice specifically because he isn’t British. This choice once again shows the general pointlessness of offering arbitrary speculation on who will play a given role or who will direct a given movie as if it were hard news. Remember when Bryan Cranston was going to play Lex Luthor or when David Harbour was going to be Cable? And if I had placed $50 on Jared Harris playing Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, I’d have been able to retire way back in 2010.
Fukunaga is another pick that falls into the “prestige director” list, as he directed the acclaimed first season of HBO’s True Detective and the acclaimed Netflix original Beasts of No Nation. Next up is a Netflix series with Emma Stone and Jonah Hill entitled Maniac, which premieres tomorrow. He was hired to direct It a few years back before parting ways with New Line who took issue with his desire for more overtly adult content. Andrés Muschietti’s “kids first R-rated horror movie” variation earned $700 million worldwide, so I guess New Line had the right idea.
Last we heard, 007 vets Neal Purvis and Robert Wade had been brought back to rewrite (or restart) the screenplay, as it would appear that the folks and EON didn’t want whatever Danny Boyle had in mind. I am beyond curious to see what the movie ends up being about. It’s no secret that the 007 franchise has been consistently reactionary, essentially placing James Bond into whatever genre or cinematic tropes were popular at the time (Live and Let Die is Blaxploitation, License to Kill is hard 80’s action, Skyfall is a Nolan-ish blockbuster, etc.).
Today the “trend” is Hollywood finally discovering that the alleged trends (cinematic universes, mega-budget fantasies that are primarily sold on IP, etc.) aren’t cutting it and that an event movie can be something like Girls Trip as opposed to The Mummy. I’m not sure how we get a James Bond variation on that, or if the series has the courage to dive into the real world where the world is essentially being ruled by a bunch of 007 supervillain wannabees. On the other hand, maybe 100% fantastical escapism may be what 007 fans want in this grim hour.
No matter, the other big news is that the film has indeed ditched its original late October/early November of 2019 (depending on where you live) release date. The film, distributed by Annapurna in North America and Universal/Comcast Corp. overseas, will now open on Valentine’s Day of 2020. Yes, this is the second huge movie in as many years to move from early November to Valentine’s Day weekend of the next year, following Fox’s X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Last time 007 moved its release date due to outside factors, it found a new home.
GoldenEye was supposed to open in the summer of 1995, but the film got delayed after (allegedly) too many of the action beats proved too similar to James Cameron’s True Lies. The film then opened in the pre-Thanksgiving weekend frame and nabbed a then-huge $26 million in November of 1995 for an eventual $106m domestic/$350m worldwide total on a $60m budget. Aside from the oddity of Tomorrow Never Dies opening in the core pre-Christmas frame in 1997 (on the same day as Titanic) and then legging it to $125m domestic from a $25m debut, every 007 film since 1995 has debuted in North America in early-to-mid November.
The series has benefited greatly from the non-summer release dates, as it has often been the go-to adult event movie all the way through Christmas, especially when the other big event movies (The Hunger Games, Twilight or The Hobbit) were “for fans only” affairs or skewed young. Conversely, President’s Day weekend has slowly become one of the best opening weekend slots on the calendar, offering relatively huge debuts to the likes of Daredevil ($40m in 2003), Fifty First Dates ($39m in 2004), Ghost Rider ($45m in 2007), Friday the 13th ($40m in 2009), Valentine’s Day ($56m in 2010), Fifty Shades of Grey ($85m in 2015), Kingsman: The Secret Service ($40m in 2015), Deadpool ($132m in 2016) and Black Panther ($202m in 2018).
Legs are an open question, as movies that leg it out like Black Panther or Kingsman are the exception rather than the rule for the Presidents’ Day launch. There is nothing explicitly dated on that weekend yet, other than Fox’s Nimona, but I can’t say if that Blue Sky release will still be a thing when Disney and Fox become one. There are alleged, so sayeth Box Office Mojo, an Untitled Blumhouse flick, an Untitled DC Films flick and an Untitled Disney Live-Action release slotted for Feb. 14. So either Cameron Crowe has a bunch of new movies opening or the weekend is pretty blank this far in advance.
Fukunaga has a challenge in store. He has to buck the general “auteur 007 movie = fan displeasing effort” trend where Skyfall is the exception rather than the rule. He also has to provide a fitting finale for Craig, even as Spectre (warts and all) essentially ended is story. Oh, and he has to make a credible 007 film in a world where our current U.S. president is arguably a puppet for the modern-day variation of Blofeld. I was never a fan of Jon M. Cho’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation, but who would have guessed that it would end up being the most prescient of the various “We so topical now!” post-9/11 blockbusters?
Come what may, Cary Fukunaga’s James Bond 25 will open on Feb. 14, 2020 courtesy of Universal and Annapurna. I'm still wondering if Craig shouldn't quit while he's ahead, but a three-month delay isn't a huge deal, and I'm presuming that ship has sailed.

Then multiplex that.ac3 file with a video file and you have a vob (or.mpg, they are just the same thing). Vob is not really a file type as such, it's more a container inside which video and audio streams are multiplexed together. The 5.1 audio(indeed any of the dolby audio systems) format is ac3 files. You can get software which would encode the wavs that you downloaded into an ac3 file. 7.1 surround sound test file. The software to accomplish all of this is out there.
