Bond 25: Danny Boyle Reportedly Quit Over Villain Dispute
Danny Boyle may have quit James Bond 25 due to a disagreement with the film's main villain.
The director recently departed the project due to "creative differences," and Boyle's choice for who should portray the villain may have been the main sticking point.
The Telegraph reports Boyle wanted to cast Polish actor Tomasz Kot as the villain, with the film's script centering on political tensions with Russia. However, Kot was reportedly thought of as a "left-field" decision for a Bond villain.

Movies That Look Like Kids Movies, But That Kids Shouldn’t See
By now you've probably seen so many movies that you can tell a lot about them at a glance. And usually, if you saw a poster or a still image from a movie about anthropomorphic animals or friendly kids show hosts or adorable puppets, you'd be 100% correct in assuming that those films were made for kids. Well, maybe not 100%...
Sometimes you'd be wrong, dead wrong. Some filmmakers use the iconography of children's entertainment to tell subversive, disturbing, or violent stories that are entirely inappropriate for children. They look like the kind of movies that kids will want to watch, but you shouldn't let them until they're much, much, much older. With one such film, The Happytime Murders, hitting theaters, let's take a look at some of the films that look like they're kids movies, but that kids shouldn't see!

Lara Croft Is Awkward
Throughout the Tomb Raider reboot series, Lara Croft has been building to a transformation. She struggled to find her survival instinct footing in Tomb Raider and began to learn how to adapt to it in Rise of the Tomb Raider. But in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, she's taken on the titular mantle. She'll still get brutally impaled on a mission failure screen, of course, but she has no doubts about who she is or what she's capable of.
Some people would even call her a narcissist. She's so overly confident, Alanah argued in an earlier hands-on session we had with the game, that she'll ignore even her allies in favor of pursuing her adventures. She has a hero complex: Lara believes no one knows better, and no one can do better. No one can save the world but Lara Croft.
