Pretty much what I Just said -other factors than the production timeline affecting the release of recent Bond films.

That's my worry actually @bondjames . I think it could very well be that Warner on one side and MGM/EON on the other side were quite close to agree on a more profitable, lucrative distribution deal (for Warner that is). And then vultures Amazon and Apple came along, who both are, from a financial position as powerful, or even more powerful, than Warner. It worries me.....
Moreover, I firmly believe that the current arrangement of MGM/EON/distributor is not healthy in the longer term given competitive pressures, and certainly isn't good for us fans. Anything that changes this dynamic is a positive for me.
As an example, we had talk earlier of a one picture deal. I certainly wouldn't want to go through this fiasco again in 3 years time.
Try to calm down? It seems @bondjames actually favors more delays for Bond 25 from a business perspective. Even if that means that Bond 25 WITH Daniel Craig actually is a smartly written film.
I prefer BOTH. Keeping Bond 25 on the right scheduled track AND get a more long-term sustainable distribution deal with EON asap. What my major concern is, is that the first won't happen.
I'm not panicking by any means or expecting a delay. But until that deal gets finalized, (and there's somebody to help write checks for the production), we don't *know.*
I'm not excited to see the much rumoured 'marriage' or 'YOLT adaptation' so it doesn't bother me. If they're not planning to do a follow on story to SP then I favoured a soft reboot anyway.
2019 is still a go imho. They only announced that less than 2 months ago. Things don't change that quickly.

Craig recently announced that he'll be back in 2019 for a fifth and final turn as the superspy (working title: Bond 25). He has some things he wants to finish with 007. "But I'm not going to tell you what they are," he says, laughing evilly. "That would give it away."
He insists his reported reluctance to return to the role has been exaggerated: "The Internet is like a noisy pub on a Saturday night. Ninety per cent of what's being said is rubbish. There's a perception that I'm ungrateful, and that's so far from the truth it's laughable. I don't talk to the press a lot. I say things occasionally that I shouldn't say, which is stupid of me. But the timing was right. I'd done Othello, and Steven Soderbergh's movie [Logan Lucky, where he plays a bleached-blond safecracker named Joe Bang], and Deniz's movie, and I was incredibly creatively satisfied. The question of Bond came round, and I said, 'Let's have another go, and see if we can produce something wonderful.'"
Could be possible
Yeah its pretty well done
Certainly paints a different picture of the man than the news tabloids would have you believe.
Indeed.....finally a bit more positive news :-). Keep it going Daniel!
Given he 100% won't tell you I think your one line might be better employed saying 'For Christ's sake ditch the foster brother crap.'
Actually quite an interesting idea for a thread:
'If you were allowed to say one sentence to key people from Bond history what would it be?'
Don't think it's too much of a stretch to imagine he'll respond given a similar context?
He probably won't tell you anything but I like the question. It's a precision bomb, no beating around the bush.
Think I might have gone with 'Shave that ludicrous tache off'!
"Daniel will there be a car chase in the next film."
Just kidding, but you could say
"Do you start filming Bond within the next 6 months."
He will either ignore you or give you a yes or no answer?
Are you on the carpet or in the crowd?
So perhaps a more pertinent question would be when do you think the distribution deal will get finalized or do you have any idea when it will be finalized?

Love the part where she says bond will marry in b25!
Don't talk shit please @DCisared :-P!
In any case, people now get a better idea of Barbara's side projects....and especially how that could influence the Bond franchise. Let me be clear here, I still admire Barbara's hands-on mentality and family-oriented attitude. I think she's really like the kind of mother movie professionals -cast and crews alike- would like to be with on set. She's fitting the old famous Dutch proverb "Doe Maar Normaal, Dan Doe Je Al Gek Genoeg", perfectly (You have a translation for that @DarthDimi ?).
Still, that doesn't mean that worries about these side-projects affecting Bond #25 are legitimate. Even if other Bond crew, like Jany Temine and casting director Debbie McWilliams were working on these movies, and not on Bond.
