I think it was just a network economical thing: ‘Let’s put Hayley Atwell in something more mainstream that’s less genre-specific and see if we can get higher ratings.’ And unfortunately, that isn’t, as an actor, anything I’ve got control over."

TRIVIA---latest in the series about James Bond movie trivia.
Ken Adam was a two-time Academy Award-winning production designer, who is best known for his spectacular designs for the James Bond movies. His movies include GOLDFINGER, THUNDERBALL, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, MOONRAKER, DR. STRANGELOVE, BARRY LYNDON (Oscar), THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE (Oscar), THE IPCRESS FILE, SLEUTH and others.
Adam was the son of a wealthy Jewish merchant in Berlin, but the family fortune was lost when the Nazis came to power in the early 1930s. The family left for England where Adam became only one of three German-born fighter pilots with the Royal Air Force. His flight instructor was Michael Rennie, who later starred in the classic THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL. As a Typhoon pilot, Adam was named "Heinie the tank-buster" for his skills in destroying German tanks.

Non-Film Score Discussion: Han Solo, TERMINATOR, STAR TREK
What a sad thing that I see those names and have to say: Pass, pass, and especially pass.

As impressive as Mr. Adam's designs for the various films' villain's lairs are, I occasionally find myself pondering--how were they built in secrecy and by whom?
As to Mr. Boggan's--"What a sad thing that I see those names and have to say: Pass, pass, and especially pass."--I can only say, who cares?

The Ken Adam info was very interesting, especially his wartime service.
Hurricane - oh, dear. The trailer shows two shots of pilots punching each other, lots of sitting about, and then about 3 shots of planes. The one CGI shot of a Hurricane exploding is absolutely terrible. Wouldn't even watch it on TV.

I thought the opposite.
I groaned when I noticed the Boba Fett thing.
Wasn't Fett's armour like a well known armour, Mandaloran or something? I always assumed there were loads of people dressed like him across the universe. Like wearing Levi jeans or summat.
